Hello,

a mail server responds with "Net::SMTPAuthenticationError: 535 5.7.8" and we cannot solve the problem quickly. How often are mail jobs retried? Are they abandoned at some time? This is especially important due to some staging accounts are depending on those notifications to receive their replies.

Spell check on editing a post

@Rob_Nicholson wrote:

This is a "is this a bug or isn't it" kind of post. When you edit an existing post on Windows Edge, the text isn't spell checked so you can't spot historical spelling mistakes. The workaround is to ctrl-a, ctrl-x and ctrl-v to effectively re-enter the text at which point it is spell checked.

Edge or Discourse problem?

Always in my forum, we showed last posts view.

We were about to change to the categories + recent posts.We thought it would be better for pc.. but on mobile, it looks bad.

Is there a way to show categories view for pc, and last posts for mobiles?

Why hide the link to /admin/upgrade?

$

@pfaffman wrote:

When docker_manager notices that there is a Discourse update, you get a link to it, but if your plugins have updates, there is no way for a Normal Person to get to the upgrade page to find out about them. Also, sometimes an update breaks things and you need to update to the very latest and not wait for the next bump.

Could we have a "check for updates" link?

(Says the guy who guessed /admin/updates, /admin/update, and maybe /admin/upgrades before guessing the right URL.)

Enable updates only to a given release

@pfaffman wrote:

Unless I misunderstand how upgrades work, when you do an upgrade from the web interface, you get all of the commits from the branch that you're on. It would seem preferable to be able to get just the commits from the most recent release (e.g., Discourse 1.8.0.beta2). Right now saying that you're on "Discourse 1.8.0.beta2" means little, because depending on when you upgraded you could have one of a hundred different commits.

If one could upgrade to the commit of the most recent release, then one could have increased reliability by watching meta for a few days after a release before upgrading.

Better still would be a way to select releases from the web interface and be able to downgrade, or run a couple releases behind the bleeding edge.

Hello guys, Proud owner of discourse forum here.

I was wondering how to force dicourse to run only through ssl?, I use bitnami stack in vps.ag LXC hosting. I used ubuntu as operating system.

I ticked the https/http option inside the security setting too. And still people can open the website through http://discourse_base_url . I don't want that to happen. How to force the discourse to server contents only through ssl?

Rails server --daemon and plugins

@pieceOpiland wrote:

I've followed the instructions at https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-mac-os-x-for-development/15772 to install a development environment of discourse. I've also installed the discourse-solved plugin, and everything works when I run: bundle exec rails server.

I wanted to run discourse with rails' built in daemon. However, when I run the command bundle exec rails server --daemon, the discourse-solved plugin no longer seems to function correctly. For example, the option to accept a post as a solution is no longer available.

Does anyone have advice on how to get the plugin working correctly as a daemon in this fashion, or whether or not I should forgo this daemon mode and find a better strategy?

Secure email mode

Continuing the discussion from Very secret info and email notifications:

Definition

"Secure email mode" site setting ensures that no content is leaked to the outside via emails when the site's content is sensitive.

Use Case

My Forum is safe (HTTPS, secure server) and I use it for discussion of sensitive information. However, participants may use insecure emails and mailing list / notifications / digests will leak sensitive information to outside agents.

Affected Area

  • Digests
  • Mailing List Emails
  • Notification Emails
  • Push Notifications

Proposal

All notifications to outside systems will be replaced by a "dumb" notification:

  • Instead of a standard notification, you will get a mail only saying that there is a new reply for you on the forum.

  • Digests will only have the big numbers section.

  • Mailing list makes no sense in this mode, so I believe we can expect that it will be disabled.

  • Name

Update log to track updates to Discourse

@JagWaugh wrote:

On a related note...

Would it be possible to add an update-log item to /admin/logs to track the updates to discourse?

This might be helpful for diagnostics insofar as when someone notices that plugin "x" stopped working on Jan 21, if they see that there was an automatic update just before the plugin stopped working, then they have a bit more information.

Howto: Change a user's email when they can't access the email account

$

@JagWaugh wrote:

Our site was created from an import of a preexisting system. Some of the user account definitions had historical email addresses which the users can no longer access (on the old system they just kept logging in with a username and password - the email was only used for a password reset).

So now that on Discourse the password change mechanism depends on email the users aren't able to retrieve their forgot password email, they also can't confirm the password change email that is triggered when I go in as admin and change their email address.

Similarly, if an active user changes their email, and mistypes it you end up in the same situation.

Here is the fix:
1. Check that the email that user want's to use isn't already taken.
2. Go to their account, admin
3. Change the email.
4. deactivate the account
5. reactivate the account
6. presto magic, the new addy is now there in the user profile.

I have not setup email replies, because we are using it for our company support forums, and I don't want sneaky competitors to get contact details in email signature... if a potential customer choose to post by email ...

so the question does it filter out email signature from the replies?
