How to recategorize a plugin?

There's a plugin that hasn't been updated by its author in years and no longer works. It's a wiki post but changing the category that way doesn't hold after saving. Confusing. Do we need to flag a mod down to make the change?

Putting a link as the title of a new topic via the discourse_api gem

@railsnoob wrote:

Hey guys, I have gotten the discourse_api gem to work to create new topics but one thing,

when i manually use a link as the title, it will often pull a title out of that link for me and include a link to the external url

however, when i put a link as the title via the discourse_api gem it just ends up with the actual text of that link instead of transforming it.

is there anyway around this ? thanks

Ban members from certain categories?

@dylanh724 wrote:

Most of our forum is pretty general. However, one part is a "forum game". If you get caught cheating, you get banned from playing. However, we can't actually ban them from that specific category .... or can we? It's getting hard to moderate.

EDIT: A workaround, I made a group to store the people suspended from a certain category. However, it would be great if I could natively ban people from certain categories (with the see/create/reply permission options).

Responding to "solved" topics

@Sujan wrote:

We have people finding old posts via Google that were solved ages ago. Because they think they have the same problem, they just post their own dump on the bottom and hope for answers. Most regular users tend to ignore "solved" topics though - so this doesn't end in happy users :confused:

Might it be useful to add some kind of information when posting into a solved topic that mentions this somehow?

You are responding to a topic that was already marked as "solved".
You are more likely to get a new set of eyes on your problem by creating a new topic.

Better cleanup script

@zsero wrote:

OK, so I'm running Discourse on a 10 GB OVH VPS and I had to look into how to clean-up Ubuntu properly.

Here is the script I've put in an overnight cronjob:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

space=$(df -h /var/lib | awk '{ print $4 }' | tail -1)
echo "Starting Cleanup (bytes free $space)"

# needs apt-get install byobu
purge-old-kernels -y

apt-get autoremove --purge -y

# remove packages with leftover configuration files
dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs -r dpkg --purge

apt-get autoclean -y

# docker cleanup
if [ -f /usr/bin/docker ]; then
    docker ps -q -f status=exited | xargs -r docker rm
    docker images -q -f dangling=true | xargs -r docker rmi --force
fi

space=$(df -h /var/lib | awk '{ print $4 }' | tail -1)
echo "Finished Cleanup (bytes free $space)"

I didn't see any reason why docker-gs should be used, instead of a command line xargs solution. The one they mention on their website "we take extra care to not remove any image tags (e.g., ubuntu:14.04, busybox, etc) that are in use by containers" do not fit our use case, or does it?

Also, I found out that ncdu is an amazing terminal based free space explorer!

Do not auto-create users when reply by mail

@Horus wrote:

Hello,

I have enabled "reply by email enabled" and it works fine. However, when a user replies from another address than he signed up, another user is created on-the-fly.

  • Can make Discourse to post the reply as the user that the mail was sent to?

if that is not possible? (I don't know if the VERP stuff after the plus sign is also connected the user name)

  • Can I reject replies by mail that can't be related to on existing user?

Thanks!

First mail validation mail never sent

@Horus wrote:

Hello,

sending mails from the forum works perfectly as reply notification. Replying via mail also works like a charm.

But the mail that is sent after signup to confirm the mail address is never sent. I'm monitoring the postfix log on the host, which shows no attempt to send a mail.

  • /sidekiq/ shows all queues as empty.
  • /logs/ shows no mail related error, just one error that, telling from the timestamp that could be related:

ActionController::UrlGenerationError (No route matches {:action=>"enter", :controller=>"static"})
/var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.3.0/gems/actionpack-4.2.8/lib/action_dispatch/journey/formatter.rb:46:in `generate'

  • Logs in the Web-UI also show no confirmation email sent, no undeliverable, nothing.
  • If I navigate to the user profile and click "Send navigation mail" it is sent immediately and everything works smooth afterwards.

There are two reports of this behaviour, but both have no solution.

EDIT: I was unaware that the first link is just a few days old, sorry for the additional post.

My installation is unmodified, using the launcher script. I just added the discourse-push-notifications plugin to hooks.
Version is v1.8.0.beta12 +40

Thanks for help!

Emails with multiple recipients only showing up to one recipient

@GregoryS wrote:

Hello,

we have two groups which each have their own mail-adress for incomming mails.

Now I sent an email to group1@hostname.de and in CC to group2@hostname.de.
The mail showed right at the admin control center under /admin/email/received but only group1 received it.

I repeated this with group1 in CC and the mail only showed up in group2s inbox.

Even if I do not use CC and send the mail to group1 and group2 simultaneously, only group1 received it.

We are running version Discourse 1.8.0.beta12.

Thanks a lot!

Permission based user card pictures

0

@Resyncable wrote:

Currently, on the forum I'm on the ability to upload a user card picture is turned off. I was going to suggest that it could be worked on a permission basis. So the following could happen;

Visitor: Nope - not allowed to upload their own card picture.
Members: Yes, are allowed to upload their own card picture
Staff: Yes, are allowed to upload their own card picture

The reason why I think this is really handy is because on the forum I'm on, visitors of the site have restricted access and there is a large amount of people signing up/viewing the site. Due to the site being strict against adult content/inappropriate content, it's vital they don't upload something stupid as their card picture.

Members of the site (again on the forum I'm on) are trusted members of the community, they have a more extensive access and can take part in internal discussions. They are more trusted so it would be ideal to have it for trusted members/staff

Scope of private message disabling

0

@viethoang wrote:

Looking for clarification on the scope of the disable private messaging option.

When the option is checked, it disallows users to private message each other (except to staff). This is great.

However, at the moment, users can initiate private messaging through these methods:

  1. Using any action which prompts the system user to PM them (status of exporting their posts, for example), the user can invite other users to the exchange between the original user and system.

  2. With the on-boarding exchange between Discobot and the user, the user can invite users to the messaging exchange.

Is this the intended? Am I missing an option somewhere to disable invites?

Incorrect posts timestamp after scheduled publish (topic timer)

@Maciej_Wiercioch wrote:

Hello :slight_smile:

Yesterday we have posted our first topic that was published using topic timer feature (https://discuss.codecademy.com/t/challenge-word-transformation/84306/5). The topic was prepared in the category restricted to the TL >= 3, and published in the publicly accessible category.

There were some posts in this discussion and they were successfully transferred, but something went wrong. Time indicator next to the posts created before auto publishing always shows 1m. And the timestamp shows that post was created in the future:

I expected that all posts will have the same creation date as the topic itself.

Thanks!

Work on better emoji support

Hi everyone,

in the next weeks I will work to improve the emoji support of Discourse :raised_hands: (planned for https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-version-1-9/61289)

Here is what I'm planning to do:

We would have baby.png and baby/2.png, baby/3.png... Following the skin tones levels.

  • Improve the UI to be close to the Twitter UI and notably allow for skin tone selection!

Low fidelity expected UI:

  • the filter is probably to be discussed more or for a later time
  • I moved the favorite emojis to its own line, to be on par with Twitter UI, we should probably discuss this

Questions:

Theme became dark between beta10 and beta12

@niemeyer wrote:

Hello there,

While upgrading from beta10 to beta12, the Default theme became dark for some reason. Smells like a bug because nothing in these settings was touched previously, and the color scheme is still "Simple Light".

Unmarking "Theme is enabled by default" and reloading fixes the site back to a white background.

Anything you'd like me to look into?

A user's email from a forum is getting caught by a draconian spam filter. I set the password via rake admin:create. When I do I can log in, but get the "You can't log in yet. We previously sent an activation email to you...." message.

I tried setting approved (though approval is not required) and setting registration_ip to 127.0.0.1, but it still won't let them log in.

Hi, is it possible to have hyperlinks be clickable within the preview of a pinned message? See image below. Hyperlink for www.mapd.com/docs here is clickable when you open the message, but we'd like to be able to have it be clickable from within the preview.

Thanks,
Ed
