Discourse instance unreachable on AWS
@auryn_macmillan wrote:
I'm trying to migrate an instance of Discourse form Digital Ocean over to an AWS EC2. The installation of the new instance seems to work without a hitch, however the EC2 discourse instance seems to be unreachable from my browser.
Any idea what this could be causing this and what a fix might be?

Discourse.PRO add-ons / plugins
@will_io wrote:
The last thing I want to do is tear down the efforts of a fellow developer who is trying to earn an honest dollar. But after my experience with discourse.pro I feel the need to enlighten others on my experience and perhaps lend reasoning as to why not to use this service at all.
Last year at this time I purchased the Paid Membership Plugin for US $200.00. Unfortunately I only pulled the repository once or twice and ended up not using it at all. Inspecting the plugin my reaction was that it was faulty and severely lacking compared to the polished product it appeared to be through the discourse.pro website and videos.
I imagined the paid membership plugin would be sort of a payment gateway into the discourse forum app which is something I looked into to help my site sustain because my advertising rates have basically diminished since migrating to discourse. The plugin might be a payment gateway but only in a very minimal and "hacked together" capacity. For instance, instead of something that "plugs right in" to the login functionality and a restricted username/password screen it is it's own separate URL and, plainly, just not very intuitive. Even with modifying the discourse settings to be restricted as well you discover that the discourse.pro plugin does not integrate at all like it should. The plugin's admin interface is also well short of a polished product that you'd expect 200 dollars would get you.
Discourse core team members seemed unwelcoming to discourse.pro initially (2015-ish) based on the creator's predatory tactics while advertising in the forum. Moreover, there was a strong distaste from the team and community because selling plugins for profit goes against the spirit of open source.
I have shared my experience and can only imagine that other add-ons and plugins provided by discourse.pro fall well short of expectations. If other users out there can correct me and tell me "Yes, the plugins and services are worth it" or "I have had good experiences with discourse.pro" I will concede and respect your opinion. But if not and you also have bad experiences with the product I want this topic to serve as a warning to other users who seek third party plugins and to caution them before dumping money into something that is not seemingly worth it -- don't be gullible.
Please share your experiences.

Setup Wizard “doesn’t exist”
@eglinski wrote:
I have successfully installed Discourse and used the Setup Wizard the first time. Looking to reload it but /wizard gets a Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private. Yes, I am signed in as admin.
Is there a way to check to see if this is somehow corrupted, or does anyone have a recommendation?

How to make new DiscourseEvent?
@maxtortime wrote:
Hello, Everyone and Happy new year!
I want to create new discourse plugin which sends posts and replies to GitHub issues.
So, I fonund:post_createdsymbols on discourse-official-slack-plugin and used it (like below example code).DiscourseEvent.on(:post_created) do |post_id| post_id = post_id[:id] endBut I failed to find event when updated posts and replies. I think
post_createdsymbol defined byPostAltererclass atapp/services/post_alterer.rb.Therefore, I want to know
1. How to create events when update post or reply or where event defined.
2. If it is impossible, May I modify controller code directly for implementing my features?Regards

Login confusion
@ask wrote:
I have a button to allow people to login with oauth2 (using their account from the "regular site"). I've had a hard time naming the button so it doesn't sound like it's the title of the regular Discourse form below.
I've gotten feedback from the users that it was confusing signing up because they tried using their regular login in the discourse login form and it didn't work.
Any suggestions? I think ideally then for me since I just have the two login options (the oauth2 feature uses auth0 and allows google/github/etc logins) I'd rather have them more "side by side" to look clearly like alternates. Is that possible with CSS? (I'm - very happily - using the hosted Discourse).

How can an admin count the number of users who watch a topic or category? Is it measurable via API, or admin statistic panel, or even google analytic?
can anyone guide me?
I'm looking for it to get a measure of importance of topics/categories for our community.

Where are translations regarding the "badge system" saved in the database?
@Pad_Pors wrote:
for the reason I explained here, we had to delete all the overridden translations we had already added to our forum, from the database (the
translation_overridetable).But very strangely, the translations for the badge system are not removed!
where are they saved if they're not in this part of the database?

Export overriden translations in the admin panel to a file
@Pad_Pors wrote:
this will be the least important feature needed ever, but if one can easily export the translations added to customize panel, or import strings from a table to this panel; then he can simply share it on github and it would be much easier than transifex for translation of foreign discourses.

Allow users to suspend/close their accounts for good
@ljpp wrote:
Our community has been running on Discourse for one year and is more popular than ever. At this point it is also more common than ever that a user whats do suspend/delete/shutdown their account, ie. does not want to have anything to do with the community anymore.
This should be possible, but it is not. Users usually have solid reasons for leaving the community, and they should be allowed to do so. Content they have produced obviously remains. Suggesting that they "just stop using the site" is not a viable answer - orphaned user accounts are a security risk, if nothing else.
I would like to propose this feature for future Discourse releases. I consider it to be a hygiene feature.

How to completely uninstall / remove a plugin
@will_io wrote:
I only rebuild a few times per year. I am currently running into an issue with a plugin I do not want.
When I include the plugin repository in my
app.ymlfile I can bootstrap but run into blank screens with the following errors:
When I comment out the plugin repository in
app.ymlI fail to bootstrap.So my question is, how can I fully remove the plugin(s) and all of their remnants from my install as if it were never there in the first place?

Why is this plugin disabled and how can I re-enabled it?
@jesselperry wrote:
Hey there,
Sorry if this is a simple answer (hoping it is), but I didn't see it answered plainly elsewhere. I just updated to beta 11, and for some reason cakeday plugin is now disabled. It's still referenced the same way in my
app.ymlfile. Any idea where else to look to enable this plugin? Something obvious I'm missing? I just did the git pull & rebuild process but that didn't fix it. Everything is showing "up to date" on my Admin Upgrade page.

Right procedure to enable/disable likes column in the main page (2)
@Sung_Kim wrote:
I read the previous topic, https://meta.discourse.org/t/right-procedure-to-display-likes-or-anyother-column-in-the-main-page/29004. I also want to have the likes column in the main page.
The solution was also provided by @sam. Adding this:
<script> Discourse.TopicListComponent.reopen({ showLikes: true }); </script>However, it does not work in my installation (version v1.7.0.beta11 +31). Do we have other solutions?
In addition, I'd like to disable Views column in the main page. I changed the script to:
<script> Discourse.TopicListComponent.reopen({ showLikes: true, showViews: false }); </script>But it does not work. Any right procedure for that?
I really think we should have a simple menu to turn on/off columns in the main menu.

Upgrade stalled, followed advice on forum, now forum not accessible
@slspencer wrote:
Hi, I love Discourse, it's the best forum ever.
Unfortunately, I tried to upgrade Discourse, and during Docker upgrade kept showing 'Kill' during upgrade when removing temp files, similar to this post: https://meta.discourse.org/t/forum-upgrade-crashing-at-upgrade-docker-manager/47909
So, I logged in at DigitalOcean & opened a console then upgraded Discourse from command line as per this post:
In console I issued:
shutdown -r now
then after system came up again:
cd /var/discourse
git pull
./launcher rebuild app
Then I added a swap file as per this post: https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-a-swapfile-for-your-linux-server/13880
Create swap file commands were:
sudo install -o root -g root -m 0600 /dev/null /swapfile
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1k count=2048k
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
echo "/swapfile swap swap auto 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
sudo sysctl -w vm.swappiness=10
echo vm.swappiness = 10 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
And I rebooted again with
shutdown -r nowNow I have no forum
, I get the Apache Ubuntu default page:
Does anyone have suggestions as to what I should do next?
