Make a category unmutable

@JagWaugh wrote:

As far as I can tell there is no way to prevent a user from muting a category. I use the "Site Feedback" category for discussions with users, and for announcements. I also have a separate read only category for User Guides.

Many of our users are only interested in some categories, and only use the email functionality, so they mute everything else. This is fine until I make an announcement, or explain some feature in one of the two categories above. If the user has those categories muted then they won't see that info.

Some way of making a category unmutable would be useful.

Show subcategories at top of category page

Here on Meta, you see subcategories at the top of a category page (e.g., dev).

I have seen reference to a show category list setting, but I don't see it now.

Is there some other setting that does this now? There's nothing matching "subcat". What am I missing?

Update topic after editing time limit has passed

I would like to let users bump topic with a help of a button "Bump topic" as long as topic is not closed or archived.

I'm almost there but stumbeled upon TopicController's update method ... more specifically upon guardian.ensure_can_edit!(topic) inside the update method. It prevents user from changing their older posts.

Is my only option to go with direct SQL update of a topic or is there "standard" way to achieve this?

Required user fields not required if you sign up with GitHub

@pfaffman wrote:

On a site I'm working on I just created a new account to check why users were not able to edit a custom field (editable after signup was not checked). I created a new account, not noticing the required custom field on the signup form, clicked the "with GitHub", chose a username and moved on.

After I enabled "editable after signup" the field showed up. I clicked "save" and wasn't able to because I hadn't set the required field.

I'm pretty sure that was the sequence of events.

Changing tracking state of group inbox updates your own tracking state instead

0

@fefrei wrote:

As an administrator, you can see the tracking state another user has for a group inbox. You can also update it, which is useful because the default is just "Tracking". However, this updating no longer works.

Reproduction steps:

  • Be an administrator. Be in a group. Have another user that is also in the group.
  • Visit /users/the-other-user/messages/group/the-group.
  • See the tracking state in the upper-right corner. It is accurate.
  • Update the tracking state.

Expected result:

The user's tracking state for this group is updated. Your tracking state for this group is unaffected.

Actual result:

The update appears to be successful (value changes, no error, no errors in console). However, reloading the page reveals that the change was not saved. But /my/messages/group/the-group will now show the tracking state you set – you accidentally updated your own tracking state!

For reference: Already mentioned here.

Email from Yahoo group marked as spam

@alehman wrote:

I need to temporarily forward email from existing Yahoo! group to my Discourse forum.

I set up a dedicated user on Yahoo! which fowards posts to a particular Discourse category. I successfully subscribed the user on Discourse. Emails from the Yahoo! group are arriving but are rejected as junk by Discourse.

Email::Receiver::AutoGeneratedEmailError
Happens when the 'precedence' header is set to: list, junk, bulk or auto_reply, or when any other header contains: auto-submitted, auto-replied or auto-generated.

I don't see any way to configure Yahoo! to change the email headers it sends.

I've tried whitelisting domains yahoo.com, yahoogroups.com, but Discourse seems to insist on rejecting the email from my group regardless.

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

When I use

curl -X POST --data "user_id=103&type=avatar&file=@/home/mypicture.png&api_key=myapikey&api_username=myuser" https://talk.zabanshenas.com/uploads.json

I get success:OK. but i want to get the image id so according to api doc I add "synchronous": true. However this time the response is nothing. why?

curl -X POST --data "user_id=103&type=avatar&synchronous=true&file=@/home/mypicture.png&api_key=myapikey&api_username=myuser" https://talk.zabanshenas.com/uploads.json

Is there something I should do to get this working?

Who has seen/read a post

@XieLong wrote:

The users of my forum would love to see, who has read their posts (and who didn't), just like it's the case with facebook groups:

To clarify, I administrate a fairly small discourse instance, with about 30 users. We use this as a kind of private social network, to archive discussions and organize meetings. A lot of times one keeps wondering "did a particular user read my post but doesn't want to answer - or didn't anybody read my post at all?"

I researched the internals of Discourse and it seems the number of views is already tracked per topic. The extension to track the views per post and show the users who saw post doesn't seem to be that complicated.

On the other hand I'm really unsure about the performance impact of such a view tracking. Maybe it would only be feasible for quite small forums just as mine?

Let's Encrypt does not respect changes to `DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS`

@pfaffman wrote:

tl;dr: If you need to change the address LETSENCRYPT_ACCOUNT_EMAIL you need to delete the lets encrypt directory before running it again.

I enabled Let's Encrypt on a site today. I used a script that copied DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS to LETSENCRYPT_ACCOUNT_EMAIL. I knew it was a bad idea when I wrote the script, but, you know, I was sure that I would never run it when there was more than one email address in DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS. But that's what I did.

No biggie, I thought, but when I fixed app.yml and rebuilt nginx still wouldn't come up.

From the logs, @tgxworld, it looks like it's still trying to register with the original three addresses that were in DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS.

and this from the end:

Finally, I did a rm /var/discourse/shared/standalone/letsencrypt and rebuilt again.

and it worked.

FAQ/guidelines: outdated description of favourites as a tool, a feature

@grahamperrin wrote:

Like vs Favorite vs Cookies (or Reaction?) drew attention to a January 2015 summary:

In https://meta.discourse.org/guidelines there's a minor issue – a discrepancy. With additional emphasis:

… Discourse provides tools that enable the community to collectively identify the best (and worst) contributions: favorites, bookmarks, likes, flags, replies, edits, and so forth. …

(For future reference: am I correct to report issues such as this in #meta, or is #bug more appropriate?)

Triggering an email notification with a group @mention not working

@yvonnebrill wrote:

I just tried to edit another user's post an @mention a group to send out a notification to the users in the group about the post but I don't think it worked - any idea why not?

The user that I edited is a group member (and group owner) so he should have enough authority to trigger the email notification that comes from @mentioning the group. When I edited the post and typed in the @mention I saw the 'You're about to notify X users, are you sure?' flag and closed it.

Can't figure out what I've done wrong? I don't really want to keep going back in and retrying it as the group has 500+ members and I don't want to send out multiple notifications about the same thing :anguished:

Mailgun leaking server's real IP behind Cloudflare

@pad wrote:

Mailgun is leaking my DigitalOcean server IPs via emails deployed for Discourse which is resulting in repeated DDoS attacks.

Received: from localhost.localdomain (shitposting.com [REAL IP HERE]) by mxa.mailgun.org with ESMTP id 78c1220.7fe02c20b530-smtp-out-n03; Wed, 15 Mar 2017 01:30:08 -0000 (UTC)

No DDoSers have discovered this yet.

Additionally, a security researcher just pasted me the following information and told me it was pulled using "linux dig"

IP address REAL IP HERE
Reverse DNS (PTR record) shitposting.com
DNS server (NS record) ns3.digitalocean.com (198.41.222.173)
ns1.digitalocean.com (173.245.58.51)
ns2.digitalocean.com (173.245.59.41)
ASN number 393406
ASN name (ISP) Digital Ocean, Inc.
IP-range/subnet 138.197.80.0/20
138.197.80.0 - 138.197.95.255

So it may be leaking in other ways as well but I can't totally confirm that.

Any ideas?

Hi there. I work for a university in IT. We'd like to create private discourse categories (which would map to courses), where only members of the course and the instructors would have access.

Wondering if anyone else is doing this currently and could share their experiences. Thanks!

Testing the new-user webhook?

0

@watchmanmonitor wrote:

Continuing the discussion from Discourse Webhooks and Zapier:

I want to get notified for every new user which is created in our forum.

The setup is below, and my forum is configured as follows:

  • The public can view a few categories
  • Group membership is required to read most of the rest.
  • the public can sign up, and validate themselves as a new user without any human interaction.
  • There is an SSO signup button which uses our main SaaS app for SAML authentication, and it will automagically apply the Group membership we wanted.

When I setup the webhook with just "User Event", no ping was sent.

When "Post Event" was checked, I did get a webhook with data about the new user (recipient) and the sender of the welcome email.

How else can I troubleshoot new user creation's webhook sending?

Can GitLab be installed on the same droplet as Discourse

I am thinking of installing GitLab on a server.
Can I use the same DO droplet where Discourse resides (assuming I add space/RAM as needed)? My impression is that that's what Docker is all about? Or is it a Bad Idea?

Has anyone imported UseResponse Ideas?

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently writing up a spec on Discourses as a possible replacement for our vB community, as part of that i've been looking at other tools we use like UseReponse Ideas.

Out of interest has anyone imported from UseResponse in the past into Discourse? I see there is a "Voting" plugin which looks pretty robust.

Thanks in advance!
