Custom OG/Twitter Metadata Image per Category

Howdy!

I run an instance that caters to various Free Software photography projects. I've created specific categories for each project to use as their own.

I am thinking it might be nice, from a social outreach perspective, to allow them to specify metadata images for each individual category.

For instance, the RawTherapee project has a category here: https://discuss.pixls.us/c/software/rawtherapee

I occasionally post to twitter/facebook/google+ about posts from that category. Right now, the social platform picks up the default opengraph image url and twitter summary large image url values and shows the images correctly. But they're site-wide.

I know that the projects would love to be able to control this branding themselves possibly. Perhaps as another image option on the category settings? Maybe as a "Category Metadata Image"?

Private vs public site and sharing topic links

Hi.

I have a little bit controversial idea. I have a forum where it's hard to decide for me whether it should be private or public (I mean should it require login for reading). What is for private: I want to see who uses it, it's kind of a local community so it's not much sense in anonymity. But being private for the forum has a strong consequence - it's not possible to share deep links in social networks (FB and the like). That's bad. That's so bad that I doubt about keeping it private.

So the idea is: would it be possible to allow sharing topic links and keeping auth required? It's possible to detect FB-crawler (which requests topic page for making a preview) and let it pass. Indeed it won't be strictly private after that as anyone can pretend he's a FB-crawler. But I don't need strict security for reading here.

It could be the 3rd mode after public/private - require login for reading, but allow previews/sharing.

What do you think?

Frontend Uploader for Open Graph Images

Hey There!

Using Discourse as our discussion board for over a month now and Honestly, I'm loving the experience overall.
The Only Problem faced by me (and maybe others too) is that there's no option to upload the Opengraph images, only an option to paste the link. What if one wants to upload the image directly to the forum directly and use that?

I Assume that's possible as we can upload logo and other images during the installation Wizard. can it be that aside from posting logo there could be an upload button to upload OG:IMAGES directly to forum?

Thanks in advance

Email to set password not sent out after invitation

Continuing the discussion from Invited users are ignoring the set password email I am currently in the following setup (running 1.8.0+beta5):

  1. I have a csv with new users I want to invite. I am testing this with my own emailaccounts right now.
  2. The CSV is accepted, emails with the invite are sent out.
  3. I click the link in the email and I click the button Accept Invitation
  4. I see the welcome message and I am automatically put in a hidden group
  5. Right now, I should get the email to set a password. But I don't.

So new users, not really familiar with forums and all that, don't know they should set a password. We do a workaround now and show them to the preferences page to set their own password. But can anyone point me in the right direction to solve the problem that the automated email to set a password is not sent from our system?

Thanks

Create new topic pasting the URL directly

@SidV wrote:

Hello!

I have a problem with new feature that creates new topic when a user directly paste a URL in title section.

Example (on try.discourse.org)

As you can see, the "url" before the edited title appears truncated because are a "limit" to title.
So, if the URL exceeds that limit, does not paste correct URL.

For this example I used: https://blog.discourse.org/2017/03/moving-from-facebook-groups-to-discourse/more-text-to-url-more1-more2-more3-more4-more5-more6-more7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16,

I know this URL does not exist. But I did not know the URL limit for try.discourse.org site. :stuck_out_tongue:

I hope you can understand me.

I need to know how to fix the problem, and edit the new topic.

I mean, when a user creates a new topic from one URL, the link informed below the title, how edit that link?

Bug in inviting users (?) Cannot login, claiming activation already sent (false)

Just installed from docker the latest 1.8.0.beta7. I think I stumbled upon a bug. Here's what I did:

  1. checked login required in Settings (it's a closed discussion forum)
  2. sent invite to a user
  3. user got the invite and clicks the link
  4. user got to the page asking for their username and optional password
  5. user fills in both fields and clicks "accept invitation"
  6. the interface logs them in automatically (no further emails are sent)
  7. user logs out
  8. user tries to log back in, but now interface says:
    You can't log in yet. We previously sent an activation email to you at user@domain.com. Please follow the instructions in that email to activate your account. Click here to send the activation email again.
  9. this is false, an activation email was not sent
  10. user clicks on "here" to resend activation email
  11. interface then says:
    Sorry, this account has already been activated.
  12. which is true, but it is not approved, here's what the Admin > Users panel shows for their account:
    https://gyazo.com/e26ab0f2e831fed71834d9a70c731ddc
  13. user is stuck and can no longer login

However!

If the user does not fill in the password at step 5. above, then an activation email is actually sent, and the user can properly activate the account and login. But this is cumbersome and impractical as I would need to warn all users in advance...

This must be a bug, right?

I tried quite a few combinations in Settings. This happens whether or not invite only is checked. Here are the relevant Login settings:

Deleted Post Bumps Activity

@Patrick_David wrote:

[Update] : this is a dup of this post: https://meta.discourse.org/t/old-topic-containing-newly-deleted-post-still-appears-at-the-top/31627


Not sure if this is expected behavior.

On topics that get a spam post in them, we can delete the post (and user), but the "Activity" will still show as the last time the topic had a post (the spam post). In this way, topics with spam posts will all float to the top of the default view (even after those spam posts have been dealt with).

Is this expected? If not, perhaps it's a bug?

I found this old topic:

But it seemed to be more focused on the auto-close date being reset (though it's showing similar problems I'm describing here).

And here's another:

Displaying sub-categories in boxes

@neil wrote:

There are two new ways to display a list of sub-categories within the parent category:

  • in boxes with only the name, logo, and description
  • in boxes with name, logo, and a list of some featured topics

You can enable these styles by visiting the parent category, editing its settings, going to the settings tab, and choosing these options:

Boxes

The "Boxes" style is currently being used in our howto category. By using very short category description and adding logos to each subcategory, it looks like this:

The logos are optional, but its best to either use logos for all or none of the subcategories.

Boxes with featured topics

The "Boxes with featured topics" will include a list of a configurable number of topics.

Set how many topics to show in each sub-category's settings:

Problem with a MessageFormat string Arabic translation

@SafaAlfulaij wrote:

I'm seeing that the Arabic final output translation of a MessageFormat string is not right.
Check the text that appears at the end of the topic saying you have # of unread topics and such..

Which says:

You have 0 topics unread, or browse other topics in category

But clicking the link shows me 3 unread topics.
Is it because I missed something with the translation? It's a bit long yes, but I can't see any problems in it..
This is the string: https://www.transifex.com/discourse/discourse-org/translate/#ar/clientenyml/13697764
According to the translation, the "zero" form shouldn't produce anything.
It is using the "few" form.

Hi,

One of the main complains we are getting from people new to discourse is that it's not easy or natural to discover how to "subscribe" to a category.

Buttons now:

Is it possible to add another visual aid to make it clear that button there is where you have to go to follow a category?

I was thinking on text aid like:

Also, when you are not logged in there are no buttons. Maybe these buttons should be there to drive users to create an account/log in and get the action done (new post/subscribe) smoothly.

I was working away at my CSS changes and going well and all of a sudden the site has reverted back to default and will no longer apply any of my styles.

I read some forum topics about perhaps too many includes so i combined them all into 1 but no luck.

No css is being applied anymore no matter how basic, any ideas would be much appreciated here as I am loving this software and looking to have some fun customising it.

Thanks.
