I think it would be nice, if ./discourse-setup asks for the notification email address, like

Hostname for your Discourse? [discourse.example.com]: forum.example.net
Email address for admin account? [me@example.com,you@example.com]: jane@example.org
Notification email? [noreply@forum.example.net]: discourse-forum@example.com
SMTP server address? [smtp.example.com]: smtp.example.com
SMTP port? [587]:
SMTP user name? [postmaster@discourse.example.com]: discourse-forum
SMTP password? []: xxxxx
Let's Encrypt account email? (ENTER to skip) [me@example.com]:

Does this look right?

Hostname           : forum.example.net
Email              : jane@example.org
Notification Email : discourse-forum@example.com
SMTP address       : smtp.example.com
SMTP port          : 587
SMTP username      : discourse-forum
SMTP password      : xxxxx

I figured out that a could set SiteSetting.notification_email in app.yaml, but I guess I'm not the only person who wondered why she didn't receive a notification email after creating the admin account.

It seems like moderators can access the admin page of any users.
The admin page displays their IP and email address.
It doesn't even have a button with show email or show IP which means it's not logged either.
Basically I just wanna have forum moderators that can help organizing the forum they shouldn't have access to private data of users.
So my question is if there's any way to prevent moderators from seeing this data.

This quick edit button is not visible for TL3 and TL4 users even though they are able to to edit the title and category.
It makes moderating a lot easier having this edit button if they have to change categories often.

Hi,
I want to host a forum on my rpi 3 but I don't know how I can do that if it's possible. I found this : https://meta.discourse.org/t/hosting-discourse-on-a-raspberry-pi-3/54891
But this hasn't help on how can I get a custom docker image.
Moreover, the Raspberry pi is very good to host sites, forums... so it can be a good thing to do an image for ARM (and compatible with DEBIAN , the most used Distro on server side ).

Thanks for your answer... Discourse is a good software but I really need help to install it

We use Discourse as a forum for our game and I'd like to create custom user pages with data from the game.
Such as rankings, stats, achievements etc.

I've followed the setup tutorials and managed to setup the development environment and I've started the plugin.
Since there isn't really a good place with documentation I already have several questions.
And in general I'd like to know if this is even possible or if it's too ambitious.

---

What I have is a forum with SSO login and a MySQL database for where I need to get the data from.
If it's not possible to get it directly from the DB in ruby I could write a REST API or something to fetch the data of users by external ID.

What I'd like to make is a page on the profile with custom data.
And maybe display some values on other places too such as league icons etc but I'm sure I'll be able to figure this all out once I get the basics.

1. Is it possible to fetch user data from our MySQL DB?
   If so, should I just follow a tutorial such as http://zetcode.com/db/mysqlrubytutorial/ or is there an alternative way?

2. I couldn't find any handle to add a new user page is there support for this?
   The plugin that shows handles doesn't really show any on the user pages.
   

   Pasted image1134x227 14.4 KB

3. General question if it's possible to override stuff in Discourse through plugins or is it only possible to add extra functionality with handles and JS etc?

(4) Also, is it really necessary to exit and start the bundle for each change?
I've done some experimenting already of course but none of my changes were on the forum after a refresh.
I had to restart the bundle for each change.
Restarting it isn't so bad but the first load takes like 15 seconds.

(5) Finally, in general I'd like to know if there is any documentation I might have missed because it's quite hard to get started on this even though I have quite a lot of experience as developer.
All the documentation I could find was the http://learndiscourse.org and some posts on here but they only explain the basics how to set the plugin up but then don't go in any depth how to actually make stuff.
Of course I'm also looking in the soure code of already made plugins but to get started it'd be pretty nice to have some basic documenation.

Topics such as controllers, widgets, database, custom locale, models, services, views etc.
I see a lot of plugins with folder structures with things mentioned above but nowhere is really explained what it's all about.

The system account on my play install had the email no_email. As an admin, I tried changing it, but misspell it. When I tried to change it again, it tells me "We've sent an email to that address. Please follow the confirmation instructions." What now?

Is it a bug? Shouldn't the system (or whatever one decides to rename it to) be exempt of email confirmations/verifications?

I am looking into solutions for creating two distinct Discourse forums each with their own separate content and design, however we would like both forums to share the same user base. Ideally we could put our users into certain groups and then give each group specific permissions for both spaces.

For example User Group A is our regular users with permissions to access Forum 1 but not Forum 2. User Group B is for VIP users and they will have full access to both forums.

Is something like this possible?

I am starting a forum. And for that I bought a VPS, which is a LXC container. Since, Install a container(Docker) Inside a docker isn't viable I had to choose Bitnami Stack for Discourse. Bitnami's installer is simple to use. But, there are a lot of limitations. One such limitation is the incomplete or errorneous documentation.

To Force SSL, in their documentation for discourse they have told us to add some lines of code to /apache2/conf/httpd-vhosts.conf . But, when you search for that file, you will be surprised to see it in the /apache2/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf . Even after I added the lines of code they have suggested, It didn't work. So I had to follow the below steps.

1) Add the below code on the block:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]

After adding the above Rule snippet. You have configure whatever information there exists, with the one matching your installation settings.

2) Open /apache/conf/httpd.conf :
Then scroll down to find the below snippet and uncomment the line starting with Include.
# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

3) Restart the stack by moving back to the /discourse-1.5.3-1/ folder and restart the apache server using

./ctlscript.sh restart apache

After completing the steps, your discourse will automatically redirect from http to https

Never realized this before, but when you are following a category, the topics that get sent via email will show on iOS mail, the image source of the avatar instead of the beginning copy of the topic. I wonder if there's a way this can be improved. Havent seen how this looks on Android.

I'm attempting to set up a minimal Discourse instance to test how well import_scripts/mbox.rb works for importing Mailman data.

I performed the following steps (the host machine is macOS 10.12):

1. cloned the discourse_docker repo

2. copied samples/standalone.yml to containers/my-test.yml and modified the volumes to point to the right places; changed the SMTP server to localhost to avoid errors, although emails won't actually work.

3. ran ./launcher bootstrap my-test and ./launcher start my-test.

4. created my account via the web UI.

5. ran ./launcher enter my-test. Now inside the container...

   1. ran rails c, and using User.find_by_username, called activate and save on the user object (since I didn't have an email server configured to do the verification)

   2. put a .mbox file from mailman in shared/standalone/import/messages/foo.mbox.

   3. in order to make the mbox importer work, ran apt-get install libsqlite3-dev, modified Gemfile and Gemfile.lock to point at the sqlite3 gem, and ran bundle install to install it.

   4. Finally, per instructions from this thread, ran the following:
      

      export LIST_NAME=my-list
      export DEFAULT_TRUST_LEVEL=1
      export DATA_DIR=/shared/import
      export SPLIT_AT="^From " # or "^From (.*)"
      bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/mbox.rb

However, I get the following errors:

The Accepted answer plugin is very useful when my visitors are looking at a list of topics: it shows which questions are already solved, and which are not:

Sometimes, a question is solved in the initial (topmost) post, e.g.: https://mage2.pro/t/2530
But the Accepted answer plugin does not allow to mark the topmost post as a solution:

It leads to a situation when a question is actually solved, but the visitors do no see it in the list and think that there are a lot of unsolved questions on my forum.
So it would be nice to allow accept the topmost post as a solution in the same way as any other post.

Has anyone else had compliance problems with SparkPost and Discourse?

It's possible that "junk" reports have been sent by my competitor whose crummy 10-year-old PHP forum was understandably left for dead when I entered the scene with my shiny Discourse-powered forum. He's been using every trick under the sun (including spuriously reporting the contact details on my whois record) to try to sabotage my forum!

Thought I'd break this into a new topic. Im getting ready to communicate to our users soon about the mute users feature added in 1.7. Sounds very practical

From what I read @zogstrip it sounds like the main benefits are
- blocking users from sending PMs
- avoiding notifications on the user's posts where you are mentioned but not participating
- avoiding notifications if the user likes your posts

Am i missing anything? Does it stop email notifications if the user replies to your topic? (This might be helpful for future to avoid unwanted )

Would be curious if any other community admins have heard feedback from their users on this feature. My sense is our users will be very pleased
