Sso overrides avatar

I've read through these:

Users who have set their avatar (via picture upload) in wordpress display a default gravatar in Discourse.

Comparing Discourse users, they have separate gravatar URLs:

http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/6d4c49710ee6a33fa4e8a674e7c10523?s=96&d=mm&r=g

http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/c2347da352720d16473af84bcacb7924?s=96&d=mm&r=g

What do I begin to look at to diagnose this?

Stupid Discourse tricks

@JagWaugh wrote:

I am trying to get familiar with some of the inner workings of Discourse (specifically how merging users works). To this end I have created an AWS instance, installed discourse, and run the setup, then modified the app.yml to disable email, then imported an old backup from our live site, so I have some data to work with.

The problem is this: Our live site has 1.8 Mio Posts, and about 34K user accounts. Restore ran fine on a t2.micro with 1GB Ram. Everything is there, and the site works, if a bit slow.

But...

Because the instance is memory bound, and there is so much to crawl through, things like users:change_post_ownership and rebake exhaust the RAM and I get "MiniRacer::ScriptTerminatedError: JavaScript was terminated (either by timeout or explicitly)"

I've tried deleting a bunch of categories to reduce the sheer number of items, but the size of the database stays the same.

Is there some (easy) way to really drop some of the stuff I restored from the backup, or do I need to export a couple of categories from our live site, create a new discourse install and import just the exported categories? (As I understand it, exporting a category includes the category, the users, and the posts, but not the uploads.)

Deleting posts/topics/uploads

My apologies, as I know this might have been discussed at length previously, but I am still trying to understand. On a reply by @codinghorror, a while back, he wrote:

Will that mean that, if I want to completely delete a post, I should just hide them? Will the delete removed posts after setting apply to the forum administrator, and thus, the topics/posts deleted/hidden by the administrator's account be removed after the n hours set? Are posts and topics considered the same, for this setting?

How can one delete uploads, so that the purge deleted uploads grace period days settings become applicable (Grace period (in days) before a deleted upload is erased)?

It seems that the @ mentions are not working for a few of my users. Most of the users are suggested when we type the @ and the username but some do not show up on the selection list. Is there a way to reset that?

Getting Current user route and path

@Alavi1412 wrote:

Is there any way to find the current route of user?

for example if user is watching homepage it return something like homepage.

or if user is watching a category with id of 52 (just an example) it returns category 52 or something similar to this to distinguish where the user is.

(I want this for creating a very dynamic widget and it should provide different menu on each page)
(and I don't want to use window.location.href because url differ from each site to another and I want to create a widget for all discourse sites)

Show subcategory list UI

$

@needlestack wrote:

My forum uses the "show subcategory list" feature to display subcategories prominently when a user goes into a top-level category. However the UI as it stands shows each subcategory as a page-wide blank bar. I was wondering if there was a way to make it display like the main category page, where the category listing was limited to the left half of the screen and the right half displayed the latest posts from all subcategories in that category.

Right now it seems the choice is between subcategories being almost invisible (the default) and subcategories dominating the page to the exclusion of all else ("show subcategory list" enabled). Something in between would be great. Is there a way to do this or would this be a feature worth adding?

Duplicate invite can raise cryptic messages

@sam wrote:

To repo:

  • Go to user profile -> invites
  • Invite user
  • User accepts invite
  • Try to invite user again

You are presented with the cryptic error: "You are not permitted to view the requested resource."

Instead we should say:

@xyz is already a member of the forum.

Or something along those lines.

Notification silencer issue

@elijah wrote:

(Topic title might need finessing.)

  1. Be logged in to a Discourse forum.
  2. Click on your user icon in the upper right to see the list of likes, replies, mentions, etc.
  3. Walk away from that computer with the menu open.
  4. Log in somewhere else and use the forum.
  5. Wonder why you never see any numbers on your icon / notices of likes and replies.

Twice this has happened to me. Both times it was obvious afterwards why it happened, but not so obvious at the time.

My understanding is that idle time is monitored and used to judge active reading vs away from computer time (to calculate the Time Read field). It would be very nice to have such a timer also used for that menu. No scrolling or clicking for 30+ minutes? Don't count those alerts as seen.

Why can't users invite others to messages?

@XieLong wrote:

Hi!

In my Discourse instance I have the problem that users would like to invite (and remove) other users to (group) messages - but they can't although all of them have trust level 2 (it's just a small user base).

What trust level or permissions or settings are required for a user to invite someone to an existing message thread?

Discourse Webhooks and Zapier

@techAPJ wrote:

Want to use Discourse Webhooks to trigger a task via Zapier? Let's get started!

Zapier requires a trigger and an action. In this howto the trigger will be a Discourse Webhook and the action will be to send an email.

Send an Email on User event

We will now set up a Zap to send email on user event (i.e when a user is created, approved or updated).

Create a Discourse Webhook

Create a new Zap

Look for this button on Zapier dashboard:

Set up Trigger

Set up Action on Zapier

Turn on the Zap

That's it, now you will receive an email for every new user event (i.e when a user is created, approved or updated). :tada:

I can however start a new container "docker run -it --rm busybox sh" with no errors.

Ideas?

There are a few categories that we are suppressing from the home page for noise concerns and I'd like to also prevent them from generating emails.

Is there currently any way to do that?

Hey all - is there anyway to disable the notifications that users see if their topic was edited, particularly if it was edited by an admin?

I regularly edit topics, spelling, etc. And Discourse notifying a user of that is… awkward. Anyway to disable this?

Canned Replies preview is raw (not cooked)

Topic view count is inaccurate in topic index

@DanielMarquard wrote:

We got a decent bit of traffic today on a new topic that was shared on Reddit. The view count reported for this topic under "Top Referred Topics" in /admin is more or less in line with what Google Analytics and Piwik report, but a much lower number (off by ~90%) is displayed on the topic index page for the topic's category.

Is this normal? Are view counts on the front-end cached?

Aren't the SSO users counted as a forum user? I have done a test signing up with Twitter, and the user isn't reflected under the user's list. Is that the way it is supposed to be?
