Can I disable the "topic similar to" pop-up entirely?

I recently set up Discourse and although the other users are enjoying it, I'm getting a lot of complaints about the "Your topic is similar to..." popup. I understand that you can just hit "x" to close, but can it be disabled entirely for now? Perhaps it will work better as there are more topics, etc, but for now it is completely irrelevant and a point of frustration for the other users. I'd like to disable it for now and try later when folks have settled in. Thanks in advance for your help!

[Paid?] Migrate comments from several Blogger & Wordpress blogs to Discourse, under an SSO

Hello,

I'm interested in possibly migrating about a dozen or so Blogger and Wordpress blogs (with unique domains) over to Ghost (as the blogging platform) and Discourse (as the commenting platform). Not only that, but the idea would be to set it up so that all the comments/commenters in the various Ghost/Discourse blogs connect to one another in a kind of blog-commenting ecosystem. On top of that, it would be preferred that each blog owner only has access to his/her commentariat. I've been told by @erlend_sh that for various reasons this would require separate instance of Discourse for each blog, but that they could all be connected by setting up one of the instances as an SSO provider. So what I'm wondering is:

1) In terms of the migration of comments, is this something that can be done by any computer literate person (albeit literate only in HTML and CSS coding languages), or would I need to hire somebody?

2) If I could do it myself, is there some kind of plug in for this?

3) Would it be best to go through Disqus as the middle-man commenting platform, or would Wordpress be adequate? (For the Ghost migration I'll have to migrate all the Blogger blogs to Wordpress first, then to Ghost.)

4) I was also told by @erlend_sh that since "moderator-privileges over one category" is months/years away, this means that individual bloggers wanting control over their own commentariat would require separate instances of Discourse until that time. Moreover, if these separate bloggers wanted to have different approval setups for their commentariat, that would require separate instance of Discourse regardless. My next question then is, if each blogger had their own instance of Discourse, but also has more than one blog (each with a unique domain), would this mean that each blog/domain would also require its own instance of Discourse, or could the comments for all the separate blogs of one blogger be under one instance of Discourse?

5) With all these instances of Discourse, could they all be installed into one Digital Ocean account (each requiring a separate instance of Docker?), or would it be best for each one to have its own account?

5B) And if each instance could all be under one Digital Ocean account, would each instance need the 1GB (or is it 2GB?) of RAM each, or overall?

6) Once the migration of comments is done, would comments left by user A on the Blogger / Wordpress blogs connect up with user A's comments made on the new Ghost/Discourse setup?

Thanks in advance!

Rebuild with cached locale files?

I looked a bit at finding a way to monitor performance during rebuild, but I'm no sys dev.

Anyway, I've noticed in the CLI a lot of "locale" related stuff scrolling by, and was wondering if for sites that have only a single locale with the user locale preference not enabled, it might improve the rebuild process if unused locales could be in a cache and not be a part of a rebuild each time.

An issue might be checking the source locale files for changes.

And it could be that although I see a lot of locale stuff happening during a rebuild it only adds up to a relatively insignificant amount of resource use compared to everything else that happens.

If anyone knows a way that I could monitor how much the unused locales impact rebuild, or knows it isn't worth exploring, please tell.

Close topic via email reply

I seem to recall that liking a topic/post is possible via email, by replying with +1. Is it currently possible to reply and close a topic via email? Our workflow for one of the categories is a "ticket" system. Topics made there are emailed to a technician who handles the issue. This technician has admin rights on the forums but does not use the web interface. She'd like to be able to reply to a "ticket" email once resolved to close it, as opposed to needing to log in and do so.

2 poll questions

-1. Is it possible to display poll results with decimal points instead of rounding up?

ex. We are wanting to host a contest where users can vote on each others projects. Offering a poll with each entry to rate 1-10 was the plan, but if it's rounding, then we could have a bunch of people with a rating of "9" (for example). I'd rather see 8.75, etc.

(disregard the first question. I figured out my problem)

-2. Can the current results of a poll be hidden from a user until they vote?

Thanks!

Important changes to Plugin Outlets for Ember 2.10

$

@eviltrout wrote:

Shortly I will be merging a branch of Discourse into master that updates us to the latest stable version of Ember, which is 2.10. This is exciting because we've been behind Ember's stable branch for a while and we've finally caught up! It also contains the Glimmer 2 template engine which is quite a bit faster so the application should be more responsive, and it also cuts down on our template file sizes so the app should be quicker to download.

However, there is a downside, and that I wasn't able to get plugin outlets to work with 100% backwards compatibility due to internal changes in Ember.

What's changed with Plugin Outlets

Previously, if your plugin made a connector to a {{plugin-outlet}}, you'd have the exact same scope in the handlebars document as where the outlet was declared. In the latest release, you will only have access to variables that are explicitly passed in to the outlet. I've gone through every plugin outlet in the codebase and passed in the main models and variables so if you were using those you should be OK. However, if you were using unusual or rare variables from the template you might have to update your code.

The most likely thing to break in your plugins is if you added data to a template by extending a controller and not a model, as they won't be passed into your connector anymore. Fortunately, there's a straightforward way to fix that:

New in Discourse: Connector Classes

You can now optionally define a class that will be associated with your connector.

Let's say your connector was defined in my-plugin/templates/connectors/user-profile-controls/my-connector.hbs. You could create the following class:

my-plugin/connectors/user-profile-controls/my-connector.js.es6

export default {
  setupComponent(args, component) {
    component.set('today', new Date());
  }
}

When your connector is inserted to the outlet, it will call the setupComponent method and you will get access to the plugin's arguments (such as models) and you can call set on it to make variables available in your template.

A new feature is you can define a method called shouldRender which will determine if the connector will be inserted into the template. This is useful because previously all connectors had to be inserted, which made working with <ul> and <li> tags complicated:

my-plugin/connectors/user-profile-controls/my-connector.js.es6

export default {
  // if false the plugin won't be rendered
  shouldRender(args, component) {
     return component.siteSettings.my_plugin_enabled;
  }
}

Finally, you can also declare actions in your component class. This is much simpler than using an initializer to extend the controller and defining the actions there. If you have added any actions to controllers you'll need to move them into component classes.

my-plugin/connectors/user-profile-controls/my-connector.js.es6

export default {
  actions: {
    myAction() {
      console.log('my action triggered');
    }
  }
}

Upgrade Schedule

I've been reviewing all the officially supported plugins as well as many popular plugins to make sure they can be updated for this change. Once I'm confident that everything is working I'll be merging this into the master / tests-passed branches of Discourse. This should happen either this afternoon or first thing Tomorrow morning. After that, we'll keep a close eye on it before we merge it into our next beta.

The change is due to be in our next stable release, which should be available in early January.

The faster you upgrade your plugins, the better! If you need some help or find a bug in a common plugin just let me know and I'll fix it as soon as possible.

Email disabled when migrating server, possibly?

I am sorry this isn't really a full bug report and sounds kind of magical, but I wanted to post it in case someone who is very familiar with the "disable email", "read-only mode", and backup features might know what the problem was.

I recently wanted to move my Discourse forum from Old VPS to New VPS. Here is roughly what happened:

  1. Make a new VPS for New
  2. Install discourse docker
  3. Use command line to wipe database and install from nightly backup from Old
  4. Set Old to read-only on the backups page and make backup
  5. Move backup to New and restore from backup
  6. A few days later, notice emails are not sending, including account activation emails
  7. "Send Test Email" works fine
  8. Turn "disable emails" setting On
  9. Turn "disable emails" setting Off
  10. Emails now work

Customizing CSS via plugin

@swohlever wrote:

I've successfully applied custom CSS using the Customize->CSS/HTML UI, but I would rather package the styling changes with my plugin. I've seen examples of plugins using register_asset in plugin.rb to add CSS. I created a *.scss file under my plugin assets directory, but when I restart the server, the styling is not applied even though the plugin is enabled and working. I believe the file is being loaded, as I originally had a typo in the path, and the server reported that it was unable to find the asset (fixing the path eliminated that error message). I've tried registering the asset as common and desktop (I am using a laptop) without luck. Are there additional steps needed to enable CSS customizations when using this approach?

I have a discourse discussion board where users come from different places and have no real reason to look at other categories of the forum. Therefore, it would make sense that by default, the search feature should restrict searches to the category they're currently browsing.

Is there a way to make this checkbox checked by default?

Here's the button I'm referring to: http://www.screencast.com/t/IKpV75wLM

Rare SSO issue causing 500 error and no log entry

Hey there,

We have a rare bug (~5% of users) in our Discourse SSO implementation where the user authenticates against our backend, then is sent back to Discourse with the SSO and Sig parameters, but are returned the error message:

"There was a problem with you account. Please contact the site's administrator."

The user will be stuck in this message and be unable to continue, even on different browsers or devices. The following is then logged to the /var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/rails/production.log:

9638907-  Parameters: {"sso"=>"bm9uY2U9NDU2ZWMwNzhmNzdjZDI5NDIzMTA0NGZkZmU3MDlmNzkmZW1haWw9c2lsdmVydHJpczc5JTQwZ21haWwuY29tJmV4dGVybmFsX2lkPUE1OURCMjQ4ODIyNkM5RjYmdXNlcm5hbWU9U2lsdnJpcw==", "sig"=>"4ea1a0b741fe761e77cac5e0ce8c0385ae6c4b7b72fd37db298e64da82c8b180"}
9639164-  Rendered text template (0.0ms)
9639197:Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 51ms (Views: 0.9ms | ActiveRecord: 26.3ms)

Nothing is then logged to /var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/rails/production_errors.log or https://discourse.example.com/logs

We found a rather odd workaround. If we reset the user's password in our backend, then log in on our computers, then set the password back to the original password, the users are then able to log in. /shrug

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Discourse is not used only by programmers or nerds, there are a lot of people and potential applications for "non-coder" user.

See good writers writing and discussing at medium.com! The Medium-editor is so simple and is WYSIWYG! Why not use or offer that kind of editor as (install) option?

Request for splitting js.topic.reply.title

I would like to request a feature: the splitting of js.topic.reply.title into two strings, namely js.topic.reply.message.title that would be shown after all the messages in the thread, and js.topic.reply.thread.title that would be shown in the bottom of the thread.

The idea is that these two buttons already do different things. The button in each message creates a reply to that message, whereas button at the end of the thread creates a reply without a trace to the last message.

This thread is related to:

This was suggested by the userbase of my forum. I think we would want to change the thread reply label to "Reply to Thread" (or more properly the Finnish equivalent), but leave "Reply to Post" untouched as it is now, simply as "Reply".
