Unable to obtain gravatar on profile edition screen

Hi
I encountered the following problem : on a fresh Discourse installation, in /users/MYUSERNAME/preferences screen, if you want to change your personal avatar, the Gravatar retrieval is broken.

What it happens:

"Discourse.ajax is not defined" error, here:
    return Discourse.ajax("/user_avatar/" + this.get("username") + "/refresh_gravatar.json", { method: "POST" }).then(function (result) {
              return _this.setProperties({
                gravatar_avatar_template: result.gravatar_avatar_template,
                gravatar_avatar_upload_id: result.gravatar_upload_id
              });
            }).finally(function () {
              return _this.set("gravatarRefreshDisabled", false);
            });

To reproduce it:
- use as your profile email a Gravatar-enabled email
- click on the pen just right your default avatar ("S" in my case)
- choose the second option, "Gravatar"
- click on the "double arrow button" (to refresh the gravatar)

How to backup Discourse + Database from Console?

Let's say I want to try a new version of Discourse. For safety reasons I would like to backup everything, so I can do a easy roll-back to the last version. I generally do a "git pull && ./launcher rebuild app" to get the new versions.I only run discourse at my docker installation.

Is it enough enough to stop discourse, tar everything from /var/discourse and /var/lib/docker? Is there a better solution, maybe with docker commands?

"500 internal Server error" when moving PM to new topic

I compose my user guides as PMs from my non priviledged account. I send them to my moderator account, and I invite other users to proofread, check for clarity etc. Once I'm done I take the PM and move just that post to the "User Guides" category.

So far it has worked well (largely thanks to the way that edits work in Discourse).

Today I get a "500 internal Server error" when I try to move the post.

The log shows:

Message (6 copies reported)
NoMethodError (undefined method update_column' for nil:NilClass)
/var/www/discourse/app/models/post_mover.rb:95:in
create_first_post'

Version:
v1.7.0.beta8 +20

EDIT:

I was able to move the post to a different (public) topic, then once it was there, move it to the topic I was originally trying to move it to.

Can a category be locked temporarily?

Alien Night Theme - A free Dark Theme for Discourse

Hey guys,

I want to share a free dark theme for discourse called "Alien Night".
It is for my server game community.

Download (Github)

Preview

Since I have many people from different timezones I wanted to have a night friendly theme people can toggle.
So I also implemented a theme switcher via JQuery, CSS and local storage.
(if you need more information about it I will happily share)

Enjoy and let me know if you any feedback or questions. :slight_smile:

Audio player (plugin?) request

This one is a stretch, but I thought I'd see if any of you guys would be up for a challenge.

A couple of us have recently started up a Discourse forum (so far, so good btw) related to music recording, mixing, etc.
In the site, we have a section where people can post a mix that they are working on so that others can contribute ideas for fixes (ie, adjust EQ on vocals, ext).

I'm curious if it would be possible to make an audio player that allows you to hear the 10 most recent uploads (for example). It'd be handy for mix contests too!

Like I said, this is a stretch. Especially one that was automated. However, it'd be cool to have a playlist player either way. Even if it had to be done manually.

Message Bus Broken With DISCOURSE_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT

When using DISCOURSE_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT it appears that the message-bus endpoint is broken. On our setup we use /community as the DISCOURSE_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT.

After uploading a file, a poll to message-bus is sent and the path is completely broken so it appears the upload never complete. The request is to https://forumdomain/communitymessage-bus when it should be https://forumdomain/community/message-bus

So this is very possible to most silly question...but I cannot figure out how to "tag" a post. I see where you would flag a post and where you would bookmark a post, but I don't see where/how you would go about tagging a certain post to a certain subject.

Is there a combination of settings that can allow me to limit number of posts/timeframe in a specific category by group?

The use case for me is to

  1. Create a "Jobs" category
  2. Utilize this plugin to set Job Posting Tiers

Note: I'm comfortable with creating a plugin if necessary.

How can I track Discourse Signups For Facebook Ad Campaigns

@SouperC wrote:

We're about to start experimenting with running facebook ads that show our to our most popular topics to targeted, and probably segmented audiences.

Is there any way I can check the Discourse signup rate of these particular ads to see how they are doing?

I'm not thinking of retargeting at this point. Just present the topic, have them visit and see if they signup.

I was thinking a FB tracking pixel, but I'm not sure where I would put that in a way that would track signups, or how I could add it

I'm aware of these functions:

  1. Move single post on public topic to a new or existing topic.
  2. Convert public topic to private message and vice versa.

But is there a way of moving a single post on a public topic to a private message?

Thanks,

Nick

Allowing posts by new users in summary emails

$

@codinghorror wrote:

Discourse tries very hard to ship with safe defaults, that is, defaults that ensure nothing bad will happen, even if you set up Discourse and walk away from it forever. With that in mind, we added this setting early on:

Don't allow posts by TL0 users in summary emails

... and it is checked by default.

Remember, summary emails are sent out every week to all users who haven't been seen on the site for the last week, for up to a year (but no longer, if you are gone for 3 years we don't keep mailing you because that'd be insane).

We originally added this setting to prevent:

  • angry new user rants
  • crazy nonsensical new user posts
  • unhandled new user spam
  • low value new user posts

.. from getting emailed in the summary to potentially thousands of users. The idea is that we trust TL1 users a hell of a lot more than new users, which is true and valid.

But! This hurts some sites, particularly when they are starting out, because they have mostly new users, not a lot of new TL1+ user posts, and so their emailed summaries are .. weak. Too weak. So, how can we more safely show new user posts in summaries and do away with this site setting? Some ideas:

  • Filter by "post existed for at least 24 hours"?

  • Filter by "post has at least one like?"

  • (your idea here)

Custom replacement string in censored words and patterns

$

@ibnesayeed wrote:

Currently, all the matching censored words are replaced with a fixed replacement string ■■■■. However, a couple changes might make it more useful.

  1. Allow a global configuration for the censoring character while ■ being the default one. This would be nice for some languages where traditionally a different character is being used, suits well with the typographic style, and available in respected fonts. Additionally, people can have fun by choosing an emoji for the matter.
  2. Allow an optional replacement string for each censoring rule (word or pattern). If not specified, replace characters with the replacement character as it it does now. This could be very useful byproduct of the censoring feature in a way where common misspellings can be corrected. In some languages people make more common spelling mistakes (such as for similar sounding letters). Often literary communities care a lot about correct spellings on their site as it is seen by people and search engines. This could also be helpful in cases where certain brands want certain words be spelled in a specific way, based on their writing style guides (e.g., email vs. e-mail) or local dialect (e.g., color vs colour). It could be helpful in promoting modern spellings of certain words (for example, some two word combinations can be combined with hyphen, but when they become more common they become a single word).

So yesterday I had a problem where people could not sign up to our forum, they either didn't receive mail or were given this error message:

"Something went wrong, perhaps this email is already
registered, try the forgot password link"

Now since I was running a giveaway at the time, it was urgent to correct that, and with the guidance of @codinghorror I did a rebuild.

Two hours later I have this email in my inbox

App notifications - icon on home screen (is that 'push'?)

@edanto wrote:

I've tested both the Android and iOS apps with our self-hosted discourse; and I don't see the icon on the home screen change to include a number for notifications (mock-up below)

I see that push-notifications are a feature only available to Discourse-hosted sites (and I understand why, no issues).

Also, as far as I can tell, the number on the icon is a push notification (quote from google On Android devices, when a device receives a push notification, your application's icon and a message appear in the status bar.)

I also have this forum connected in the Android app; which I assume is Discourse-hosted, and there is no number shown on the icon to indicate alerts. When I click into the app I see some 'new' and 'unread' shown for this forum, but my current status on the forum is that there are no alerts.

I think that when someone replies to this post, that the Discourse app icon on my home screen will change to have a red number 1; can someone please reply to confirm?
