Hello to our amazing translators!

Our Narrative Bot plugin adds a chat bot to greet new users and help them learn how to use Discourse. Right now it's only available in English and soon Spanish thanks to @SidV , but would love to have translations in our other supported languages. Can you help us? Ideally we can get translations in time for our 1.8 release, which should be wrapping up at the end of this month.

Since these strings aren't in Transifex, we'll take pull requests with new server.*.yml files. Let us know if you have any questions and if you can help.

There's one file with 351 lines:

I would like to allow more than one user the ability to edit a post/topic but am not seeing how to do so?

I know that setting the post to a wiki allows for everyone to edit the topic but I don't want for everyone to be able to...

I want to limit who, but allow the owner to be more than one person. Is group ownership possible?

Thanks!

Want to double check my understanding of the setting disable edit notifications as it does not appear to function as I expected.

I have download remote images to local enabled with a 10% disk space threshold. I've also enabled disable edit notification, which I assumed would disable an edit log when a remote image was downloaded by the system user. However, this evening I saw a post with the downloaded local copies of images edit log. Am I understanding the setting correctly?

Hi,

I would like new users to give information about:

How can I enable this?

I'm looking at a little project where I need lots of tiny communities that are almost identical except for the users and content; that is, configuration, theme, SSO provider, etc.

What's the best way to lock down config/settings across lots of forums on exactly the same server where the config will vary only slightly between forums? Also I'd like to be able to programatically create new forums, utilising the central config with slight variations between forums.

Is it possible to create a plugin who's sole responsibility is managing a central set of configuration items? For example, use the plugin designated config unless the forum has a local setting.

What about a central "master" forum that's not used except for configuration, that other forums inherit from?

In the set up we need its ok for users to discover each others profiles via posts but not a list all users in the system.

Assuming its not possible with a setting (i can't find one), what would be the next best approach? Would I build this through a plugin?

Hello,

Love your work Discourse team, keep it up.

I'm a journalist from Australia working on a Discourse-based platform for investigative journalism teams.

I chose Discourse because it offers thoughtful community management, email and Slack support, core-supported Patreon support and API write functionality for scrapers.

I'm also looking to integrate Freedom of Information (FOI) requests into topics 'inline' to allow teams to manage large quantities of requests in a structured Discourse forum.

By way of background, an FOI request is just a formal request to the government for information. They typically consist of two or three emails back and forth between a government department and a requester over a month or two.

So far I've got a 'hacky' version working by just creating users with the Freedom of Information contact emails and @-mentioning them. But the need to not 'leak' information means it hobbles the @-mention feature for other users.

I wondered whether it was worth considering an '@-mention'-like feature specifically for this purpose, ie something like an '^-request'.

Has anyone come across any plugins or extensions expanding or editing the @-mention functionality that I can review as a guide?

If not, I was going to start by hacking into here and here, but open to suggestions.

Thanks, appreciate your time.

Regards,
Jackson

Chrome 58 has landed on Android devices this week, and it breaks functionality:

• Copy-paste action menu does not work.
  • When you long-press on a word, the menu blinks on the device UI but it is inpossible to copy a piece of text.
  • Reproduced also in safe-mode, with everything disabled (logged in)
  • However, it seems to work using Incognito mode.

• The Back button has disappeared from topic view. Not appearing at all.

  • Again, it works when going Incognito.

@sam We are running 1.7 stable branch. It looks like that Meta does not suffer from this regression. Has this been issued in the 1.8 development branch?

Edit: I have user reports that the functionality again works when using Chrome-beta channel version or Opera (an older Blink version).

This has happened a few times on our forum, and again today. Sometimes the admin email setup in Discourse receives emails that seem to be sent between two users on the forum. For example, the emails the admin gets have a subject line that says RE: forum topic, the from: field is from the user sending the message (correct name and email address), but the to: field of the email has the name of the forum user it is meant to be sent to but the email address is the Discourse admin email address...??

I'm not sure I know how a user would even be able to email another user directly as I was under the impression that you could only message another user through the Discourse messaging feature.

The content of the email seems to be generated by Discourse (I censored the content and usernames, communityforum@DOMAIN.COM is the admin email):

Hi NAME:

BLA BLA BLA

NAME

On May 4, 2017, at 10:19 PM, FORUM DISCOURSE USER <communityforum@DOMAIN.COM> wrote:

It doesn't look like the actual user is receiving the email that was intended for them, but the Discourse admin is receiving it instead. Can anyone help me explain this behaviour? Thanks!

I'm having trouble understanding if I can use the WP-Discourse plugin as a way replace our BBpress forum with Discourse and be able to manage users through our Wordpress member management tool.

So, we'd want it to work like this: you sign into our site. if you have the membership level that includes the forum, you'd be able to access it without having to login again.

Is this possible/easy to do?

There seems to be a lot of confusion as to whether the WP integration is just for comments or also as a forum replacement. Thanks!

Most early adopters of Discourse were developer communities, as is often the case with open source projects. Our own meta.discourse.org community is also a development-centric community, so we’ve been mindful of this use case since practically Day 0. Consequently, Discourse caters to a lot of developer communities. We reached out to 30 of them to…

• While using the same markdown and editing a post with hand creats a poll nicely.

Is there a way to allow users to specify nicknames or aliases for different categories?

I'm looking at setting up a small play-by-post roleplaying forum for some friends, and I'm trying to find a way to let them post using their character names in different games, but still tied back to their overall account. Is that something that would likely take a lot of work to do? Is it even possible with Discourse as-is?

Thanks in advance.
