Hello

We have setup a new Discourse community and would like to know if there are any plugins that are recommended to use. Is there a place where we can find list of recommended plugins?

Thanks

Hi,

During the installation, I’m asked for Hostname for your Discourse? [discourse.example.com]. I would like to use the existing domain.com hostname, and serve Discourse from /forums directory. I have a blog into /, which I plan to replace also with a Hugo based blog.

Can you let me know what approach I should use?

Regards,

Floren Munteanu

We’ve officially kicked off the Rails Girls Summer of Code 2017 with our group, berlin diamonds.

They’re going to be working on adding extra backup providers to Discourse. This topic can be used by the teams involved for questions and answers, as well to track progress.

---

Background

Discourse has always provided administrators the ability to back up their community data. It is important to us as an open source project that regardless of where you run your forum, that you be able to take your data with you.

Currently, we support downloading data dumps to your local computer as well as uploading data to Amazon S3. There is also a plugin for uploading to Dropbox available that could be used as an example.

---

First Steps

The team has decided to focus on a backup provider for Google Drive. Here’s how I’d suggest tackling this problem, although the team is free to approach this on their own schedule and pace:

1. Become very familiar with the dropbox plugin for backups. Try installing it locally and using it to connect to Dropbox. @Falco is also around to answer questions you might have about how it works and how it is designed.

2. Review how Google Drive’s API works. What is required to upload a file there? Are there any rubygems you can use to contact the API easily?

3. Create a new repository for the Google Drive backup provider, and try to build it up from the simplest possible thing that could work. Use Site Settings for any API keys and variables. When it doubt, base it on the Dropbox plugin.

4. Discourse will provide code reviews and offer assistance along the way.

5. The plugin is working!

Once we’re done the above we can figure out following steps for more providers, and perhaps DRYing up the plugins to avoid repeated code.

I accidentally deleted a “SPLIT THIS TOPIC” message.
Now I can only “edit” it - which of course makes no difference as the “post” is deleted.

Is there a way to undelete those?

Hi,

My first message on your great board

I installed discourse on a server with debian 9. Each time I use the command ./launcher, all is working great but I have this message displayed :

cupidon@XXXXXXX:/var/discourse# ./launcher rebuild cupidon
stat: cannot read file system information for ‘extfs’: No such file or directory
./launcher: line 202: /10243 < 5: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/10243 < 5")

Do you know how to fix this ?

Thanks for your help.

Install Discourse on Plesk Onyx is simple!
Lie, I’ve been trying for two days until it works.

---

First install Docker on Plesk Extensions.

Install Docker

https://content.screencast.com/users/DougasTeles/folders/Snagit/media/4f60c154-eec0-4493-a66e-17ec684e258c/07.04.2017-11.51.png

Now install Redis and Nginx containers

Redis & Nginx

https://content.screencast.com/users/DougasTeles/folders/Snagit/media/ebf20e85-dcbe-49c2-96db-3bdd421761b3/07.04.2017-13.06.png

Go to https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md and follow this steps, starting on Install Discourse

After the fist installation, you get an error because 80 and 443 ports are in use by Plesk
Don’t worry!

Go to /containers/ and open app.yml with text editor (nano or wathever)
Find this lines:

• “80:80” # fwd host port 80 to container port 80 (http)
• “443:443” # fwd host port 443 to container port 443 (https)

Change to something like this:

• “8060:80” # fwd host port 80 to container port 8060 (http)
• “9443:443” # fwd host port 443 to container port 9443 (https)

Save and perform ./launcher rebuild app

Now, go back to Plesk panel, enter on your domain and find Docker Proxy Rules

07.04.2017-13.35.png840x401 25.3 KB

Click on Add Rule

And select the app and port like this:

Now, open you domain on browser and boom! You are running Discourse with Plesk

If you used the Canned Replies feature to add some text to you textbox via the “Insert Reply” button the input isn’t active any more and you first have to click the input field before you can use Ctrl + Enter so submit the form and create the post.

Is there a good reason not to have one? It seems like a link back to the main website would be simpler/better than forcing users to go up to the address bar and edit the url.

The reason I ask is because I want to link back to my main website from my discourse forum, and I’m wondering if there’s any good reason this shouldn’t be done.

Also, I know that the header HTML can be edited, but where can I find the default HTML to edit? I want to add a link either in the nav menu or in the section above it.

Thanks

Testing waters here. I basically need a native android/iOS (whitelabel) that:

1. Launches the website in a chopped up browser (only back/forward buttons, no URL bar/settings/etc)
2. Has push notifications for member activity (pm’s/notifications)
3. Mass push notifications

Two out of three of those requirements (1 and 3) can be accomplished via sites like appypie.com, but I also need requirement #2. I am also willing to pay for consulting/setup if you believe there is a service out there that will directly help me with what I need. If you have the knowledge or know how to build one, please quote me via PM.

EDIT: I also know Discourse has it’s own app for this, but it’s quite cumbersome to setup.

Please take 2 minutes aside and go nominate Discourse for the CMS Critic Awards 2017!

1. Follow the link above
2. Enter your Name and Email and…
3. Nominate “Discourse” for “Best Forum Software”!
4. Add a brief note about what you like about Discourse. Feel free to share that here as well
   p.s. make sure you copy your note before submitting. My first submit errored out and I lost my text.

We won this last year and we see no reason why this year should be any different.

Lastly, it would be kinda nice if they also had a category in the future for “Best Managed Forum Hosting”, similar to their “Best WordPress Managed Hosting” and “Best Hosting Provider”, so feel free to leave them a note about that
