I hope this is the right category for this and apologies for the noob question and/or wrong placement. I've searched here on meta and on github and cannot for the life of me figure how to enable RSS for my install. This is my first install of discourse and have the most up to date version running. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Data explorer challenge: Generate list of members by location

@tobiaseigen wrote:

On our site, we populate the location field via SSO with the country where the member is based. I had a request this week from a moderator who wanted to alert members in Pakistan about a new resource published specific to Pakistan. He wanted to do this by mentioning all of them by name in a post.

I looked into it and found that I don't know an easy way to do this via the UI. Location isn't even provided in user exports which surprised me. Am I missing something?

Data explorer seems the low hanging fruit home for solving this problem. Has anyone created a data explorer query to search the user list by location and spit out a list of usernames who share that location?

A better solution for the longer term to this specific problem might be a new feature to be able to mention users by country somehow, e.g. !pakistan or some such.

Single database multiple apps

I'm not sure what the proper category for this question is, so admins, feel free to move it as needed.

I've been looking at the SSO stuff, but assuming that issue is successfully resolved, are there any issues with sharing db content between Discourse and the main app? In my particular case, my main site is a Python 3 install at Heroku. It uses a postgresql database, and Redis is available, but I know almost nothing about Ruby or Docker, so:

  1. Can the Python app read and access data written to the db by Ruby/Discourse, and vice versa?

  2. My preference would be to install Discourse on Heroku with my main app. Judging from my brief tour of meta.discourse so far, however, that may not be a slam dunk. So, if I follow the recommendation to use Digital Ocean, what [in addition to question 1] issues should I be aware of in wanting to integrate the two sites into a seamless user experience?

  3. Thanks so much in advance for your advice. I've been impressed with Discourse so far. I hope I can make it work for me.

ps - I don't suppose anyone is working on a port of Discourse to Python 3, just to make my life easier? I looked but didn't see such a project...

How to re-calculate the top users stats?

Hi, guys! before all I'm so sorry if the question is duplicated, I just used the search box but I don't found any related topic.

In my community, recently we banned some toxic users, there is no problem, the problem is that now the community are asking me to "delete" those users from the "top users" view, I mean this one:

I tried with resetting the stats
User.find(xxxx).user_stat.update(topics_entered: 0, time_read: 0, days_visited: 0, posts_read_count: 0, likes_given: 0, likes_received: 0, topic_reply_count: 0, post_count: 0, topic_count: 0, bounce_score: 0)
and then rebuilding the app ./launcher rebuild app without success.

So, what is the best way to do it?

Thank you guys.

Hack for sorting Badges?

@Lutz wrote:

Badges are becoming increasingly important on our pages. Is there a hack for sorting them, besides adding more badge groups? We have a lot of custom badges for xxx messages or xxx likes - so more groups are not really the way we want to go.

I'm open to any ideas, except patching the code - that's currently going beyond my possibilities.

Live-updating of polls no longer works

@ChrisBeach wrote:

I used to enjoy watching a poll live-update with responses (the totals on the poll view used to be live, and also the whole contents of the results view).

Since a few weeks ago, this appears to have stopped working, and now I need to refresh the page to see new responses.

Would appreciate if someone could fix this. Polls have driven a lot of engagement to our forum and the live-updating is one of Discourse's slick features that sets it apart from other forum software.

Poll results can be confusing when showing who's voted

@ChrisBeach wrote:

Showing users who've voted is an excellent feature of Discourse polls. However, sometimes when scrolling through the results page I lose track of which option corresponds to which faces. This could be improved either by:

  • more space between the avatars and the poll option below
  • a horizontal line between each poll option on the results page

Custom domain email with discourse DO setup

@azaleas wrote:

Hey guys,

I managed to install Discourse on digital ocean. I used Pepipost as smtp provider.

I got my emails and I can login and register.

Currently I'm using gmail as admin email and I'd like to use my domain name instead, like admin@mydomain.com. I can't figure out how to do this.

My forum currently uses forum.mydomain.com. I tried to add MX settings for the email on Digital Ocean domain tab, but my test emails were bounced.

How can I create emails like admin@mydomain.com and use them with my digital ocean setup?

ps: Before installing the discourse I managed to use MX settings on my domain dashboard at namesilo. But after changing the DNS addresses to digital ocean I couldnt add any valid changes and received the notification saying that my dns server names are changed and i have to add the changes from hosting provider.

DevOps really not my strong suite so help is appreciated.

Email problems with new domain

@azaleas wrote:

I finally had a chance to install discourse. I got stuck on smtp stage of installation for couple of hours. I tried using all suggested email providers but no luck. Sendgrid wasn't totally free. Mailgun I couldn't even get pass the registration, I think they either had an attack of some sort or some troubleshooting going on. SparkPost i tried to register and verify my domain name but no luck. I think it was because my domain name was empty. I went with another provider but even they told me that my domain is empty and they have some considerations that maybe I'm trying to use them for bad purposes:) I had a chat with them and told them that I'm trying to install discourse forum and in order to do that I need a proper smtp setup. Good thing they were helpful and I got approved in 10 minutes.

My question is, is there any particular approach on installing the discourse on a clean, new domain name? Because I thought that SparkPost didnt want to approve me because my domain was empty.

So if my domain is empty then my domain won't be approved, and if my domain won't be approved I can't install the discourse? Or is there something that I'm missing?

I just got six similar email messages from one new message, sent at 20.09, 20.11, 20.13, 20.16, 20.20, 20.26. There doesn't seem to be a clear interval here.

  • my email account: six messages of the same type
  • email logs of Discourse, there was only one sent (type: user_posted)
  • logs of mailgun: six messages Accpeted & Delivered

Read: something caused the sending to take place multiple times.

Triggering Page loads?

For some specific reasons, we need to trigger certain navigation via Javascript. Manually reloading the page obviously works, but this is inconsistent with the rest of the site with reloads parts of the page without actually fully "refreshing".

How can I trigger navigations to different categories with Javascript? I am using there is a call to the Ember router to do so, but I can't find good documentation on it.

The composer needs to be more friendly to iPad Mini

@terraboss wrote:

The last couple of months, I'm working with Discourse on my iPad mini.

As you might have noticed, the screen size is pretty limited. While writing, I would guess 55% of the screen is filed with the keyboard, 15% with Safari UI elements, 20% with Discourse UI elemets and the rest is the actual composer module with Preview.

By swiping the page upwards, I could safe 10 % from Safari.

In conclusion: I have 20-30% available of my screen.

  • I'm pretty unhappy about this.
  • We need a new solution for mobile devices (WYSIWYG?)
  • One-time UI elements could be dynamicly hidden.

What are you thinking about some 2-step-assistant like composer? In frist place you are filling title, tags, category... metadata... and as next step you get the most exciting full screen writing experience you can get on iPad / mobile devices.

Feel free to add your thoughts and comment my one :slight_smile:

Best practice for modifying navbar (increasing height and adding links)

0

@Becky wrote:

Hello,

I'm trying to customise my navbar to match my external site. I've looked through the forum and am yet to find a clear solution for my requirements.

Firstly, I would like to increase the height of the navbar to 89px. The suggested code I have found is:

.d-header {
height: 89px;
}

Whilst this does increase the height, it also hides content below and the logo/links etc. are no longer centred within the navbar.

Secondly, I want to match the navbar links with my external website and position them on the right hand side of the navbar. One method suggested is to use the following code to add nav links:

<ul class="nav nav-pills">
  <li><a href="URL">Link Text</a></li>
</ul>

However, this appears above the navbar on the left and perhaps isn't the best approach to get the final result.

The other suggestion is to use:

<div id="top-navbar" class="container">
<span id="top-navbar-links" style="height:20px;">
  <a href="URL" class="nav-menu" id="home"><span id="SAME-AS-LINK-TEXT">Link Text</span></a>
</div>

So for the second navbar links, my questions are:

  • Which is the best approach to adding the links in?

  • What is the best use of CSS to position the links on the right hand side of the nav bar and keep it working responsively?

The site URL is http://community.blueggnutrition.com/ although, being a private forum with SSO set up, I'm not sure whether this is of use.

Many thanks!

How to make discourse use dynamic url's instead of static url?

Issues when routing whole site through CloudFlare

@ljpp wrote:

I do realize that this might be a Microsoft Edge issue, rather than Discourse or any of the frameworks that Discourse is built on. It is also a fact that Win10M is a niche platform, with about 1% install base on the market. However, Microsoft is still keeping it alive, updates are rolled out promptly and they even have introduced new enterprise targeted products, like the HP Elite X3. Based on MSFT's media comments, they are continuing to pursue the Enterprise market with W10M. I am reporting this for the sake of documentation and in hopes that perhaps Discourse core team has connections to Redmond?

The issue is reproducable with all Windows 10 Mobile devices. I have three different devices.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Browse a Discourse based website. Perhaps open links to new tabs, leaving the Discourse session to the background.
  2. End the browsing session. close Edge. Do something else.
  3. Re-open Edge and a tab with a session on a Discourse based site.

Actual result:

Often the Discourse session does not resume as expected. You may need to do a Reload on the website. Occasionally even this does not work and you get an empty page or error that site is not reachable. You may need to reload again, or sometime even close all browser tabs and browse back to the Discourse driven website.

When you finally get back there, the site again works OK.

Expected result:

Session is successfully resumed and view updated, if there are new posts on the site.

I just discovered today while perusing mandrill that this is NOT happening for mailing list mode digests. It still includes whispers on my site. Luckily we're fairly civilized in our whispering and only a few people have mailing list mode turned on but this is still not great. Can you try to get it fixed ASAP?

I am on latest.
