"make listed" again in the bulk actions

I have unlisted 60-70 topics using the bulk actions setting, and I didn't noticed there is no "make listed" button there :frowning:

now to make them listed again I need to do it one by one.

I think it make sense to have "make listed" in bulk action as well, or at least a notification to admins about no bulk undo in bulk for this action.

Some small suggestions:

Discourse home page should be based on user preferences, to achieve personalized display

Should be learned from the Q & A program, each subject and post can be sorted by user rating;

Can be based on user preferences, and post ratings, to achieve personalized intelligent recommendation

Make login screen accessible for keepass/ChromeIPass

KeePass is a (if not the) open source password manager. To make it fill in login credentials on websites, ChromeIPass is probably the most commonly used Chrome-plugin. It even catches most AJAX login screens. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with the Discourse login screen.

I am not sure what Discourse does differently than most AJAX generated login screens, but it would be great if it could be tweaked so that it works with ChromeIPass...

HOWTO: Build yourself a sandbox

@JagWaugh wrote:

Regardless of if you're a moderator or an admin, you will no doubt at some time think about making some change to your live site and wonder if this will bring shame on you, and/or cause yourself an enormous amount of work to put right again.

There is an easy solution to this: build yourself a sandbox! You can restore a backup of your live site to the sandbox and this will give you a representative post and user base, then you can play Dangerous Dan all you want.

(If it isn't your site, then talk to the admin/site owner first, and make sure they are ok with you cloning the site.)

All you need is:

  • A host, preferably with the same OS as your live install.
  • A mail provider (at least temporarily for the setup)
  • The 30 minute install instructions
  • A backup of your live site.

HOST
I used a free tier AWS instance, and installed Ubuntu 16.04. I increased the size of the disk as it was too small to handle restoring the 4.5GB backup. I didn't bother setting up a domain or encryption, or https. Just a straight box that I could reach via putty and a browser.

MAIL PROVIDER
I used AWS for this as well, I only wanted mail to complete the discourse setup and verify that the setup actually worked. The last thing I wanted was my sandbox to start sending emails out to our users. You could probably skip setting up email entirely.

DISCOURSE INSTALL
SSH into the box
sudo -s
apt-get install htop
dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get autoclean
apt-get autoremove
shutdown -r

When the box comes back up check if the login message says "a restart is required" (keep an eye out for this whenever you SSH into the box)

Follow the excellent Simple 30 minute basic install

POST INSTALL
Once the box is up and you've complete the web part of the setup, received your email, used that to login to the website, run a backup.
SSH into the box
Make a copy of your app.yml

sudo -s
cd /var/discourse/containers
cp app.yml LIVEapp.yml
nano app.yml

add "NOT-" to the beginning of the SMTP variables (to make sure that your sandbox won't be able to send emails unless you change those settings again):

DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: NOT-email...
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 587
DISCOURSE_SMTP_USER_NAME: NOT-...
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PASSWORD: NOT-...

save the file and exit nano (Ctrl-o, enter, Ctrl-x)

Rebuild the app:

cd /var/discourse
git pull
./launcher rebuild app

When the rebuild is finished check that you can still reach the website and login etc.

Back in the CLI:

  • check how much disk space you have (and note it down somewhere)
    df -h
  • check how your RAM usage is (and note it down somewhere)
    free -h
  • Have a gander at htop to see what an unloaded blank install looks like
    htop
  • f10 or Ctrl-c to exit htop
    ./launcher cleanup

In the GUI go to sitename/admin/site_settings/category/backups and set a checkmark on "allow restore"

Visit your live site and download a recent backup (including uploads) from /admin/backups.

Go to /admin/backups and upload the backup.
Back in the CLI check how much space you have with free-h, IIRC the restore needs about 3x the size of the backup to complete without crashing because your disk is full. If in doubt, fix that now.
Restore the backup to your sandbox site.
While the restore is running, watch what is going on with htop and df-h (it's a geek thing).
When the restore is complete, goto /admin/settings and change the following:
"disable emails" set a check mark.
Look through all of the settings (use "Only show overridden") and change any site settings related to S3, CDNs, CSS, permalinks etc so you won't be interfering (or masquerading) as your live site.
Back in the CLI:
./launcher rebuild app

You don't really need to do it, but as you may have noticed, I'm a belt and braces kind of a guy, so...
shutdown -r

When it comes back up you should have a functioning site with content, but you won't be able to login with your live credentials.

SSH into the sandbox

sudo -s
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rake admin:create

Answer the questions. You can either set a password for your live account, or create a new admin (I used none@nonexistent.com as an email).

Now you can login to the sandbox GUI with the email and password you just set.

The last thing to do is add the plugins which your live site has to your app.yml, then ./launcher rebuild app one last time, then configure any plugin settings as your live site has.

You now have a working sandbox to play with, including content, And damned be him that first cries, “Hold, enough!”.

Oneboxed gfycat slower than embedded video

I noticed that the oneboxed gfycat video plays at a slower FPS than the embedded version. Compare below:

Oneboxed (achived by pasting gfycat link into post)

Embedded (achieved by copying video location from gfycat and pasting into post)

Is this intentional for the sake of network resources, or is it a bug? I notice that the direct (second) link is on fat.gfycat.com instead of gfycat.com, so I'm not sure if maybe gfycat updated their backend and Discourse hasn't adjusted yet.

We would like to bump the trust level of current members up. If I change the default trust level, will this change current member's trust levels or just that of new members?

I've looked around and couldn't find a definitive answer, sorry if I missed it somewhere.

Hello Discourse,
I am a user from one of your forums. (hopscotch forum)

Recently, I learned how to find your unread topics. (By going on to the "mobile" interface)
I cleared my unread topics, but I didn't notice that I had decided to mute all of the topics.

Now, I have around 1,500 topics that are all muted.

Is there a way to unmute all of the topics at once?

Thanks,
MiNi!

Mailgun email configuration for Discourse requires credit card

Hello Discourse community,

I know there are a few topics about Discourse email configuration, but I couldn't find a solution to my problem in any of those (to the troubleshooting guide as well). For email provider, I use a Mailgun free account (I want to build a community of about 10-15 people so there is no need for more than 10,000 emails per month). Everything in my Discourse installation works perfectly, except for the emails. Here is where I've been so far:

  1. I received successfully the confirmation email for the admin account! Isn't it strange?
  2. When I try to send manually an email using my Mailgun SMTP credentials, it is sent successfully (by using this method with my SMTP credentials). This means that my Mailgun account, dns servers, etc are configured correctly, isn't it?
  3. Exactly the same credentials as used in the successfull manually sent email, are entered in the app.yml file.
  4. But still, when I send a private message or I reply to a thread that is watched by someone, no emails are sent to his inbox.

Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!

Edit: Problem solved! I had to enter my credit card details to my Mailgun account.

Multiple group mentions based on overlapping membership

@tophee wrote:

Here is what I suppose to be an easy to implement feature (correct me if I'm wrong) with great potential: multi-group mentions. More precisely: multi-group mentions based on a logical AND conjunction, @groupX∧groupY, as it were. In plain English: the message will be sent to all members who are a member of both group X AND group Y

Unless I missed something, currently you can only send notifications/messages to groups based on a logical OR conjunction, i.e. by simply mentioning multiple groups.

So what might a multi-group-and-mention be useful for? For example, imagine a multi-lingual site, where speakers of a specific language are members of dedicated language groups. Furthermore, they can also me members of groups dedicated to specific interests. Multi-group-and-mentions would make it possible to address, for example all French speaking members with a specific interest.

What exactly are the effects of "allow user locale"

@tophee wrote:

I have a specific question about "allow user locale" but I thought I might as well broaden it for general interest.

In particular, I would like to understand whether enabling "allow user locale" by itself will change the language of the welcome message and other system messages as well as the discobot (provided that the user chooses a different locale to the default one).

More generally, it would be good t understand the effects of this setting (plus users changing locale)...

I have so far opted to leave user locale disabled because I am customizing various Text Content snippets but so far I am doing this only in English so that I need to make sure that all users will get the English version of these messages. But now the Discours-Translator plugin requires "allow user local" to be enabled. Hence the question...
