Access real name in quote display

Continuing the discussion from Display real name instead of username in a quote?:

I need for quotes to display the user real name exactly the same way that they are displayed in posts. In this image, “sam:” should be something like “Sam Saffron (sam):”

I think that this would be more consistent, but it matters only if you have meaningless usernames.

My questions:

  • Can I fix this with a theme or will it take a plugin?
  • Can someone point me to a similar example?

This seems like it should be trivial, but I’m lost on this end of things and don’t know where to start.

API or other way to generate topicId and discourseEmbedUrl list

I have Discourse comment embedding for a site generated by Hugo. Everything works fine, killer set up. My site outputs a few different formats, not all for a web browser. Also, a lot of my visitors use text browsers. So I was thinking of including a link to the topic, for all those folks that won’t see the thread load on the page.

It is kinda dicey, but I can obviously construct URLs with a pattern like https://discourse.example.org/t/$SLUG/, and that works for most cases, but doesn’t feel as nice as just linking to the exact URL as Discourse knows it.

Hugo has a function called getJSON, so I figured I would just call that at build time and key the values off of the discourseEmbedUrl, but I don’t think that is included in any output.

An aside: Do you know there are docs for the Discourse API?! I have mostly gotten along without them, but they also make an excellent reference.

http://docs.discourse.org

The question

Is there currently a way to pull in the discourseEmbedUrl fields for posts in JSON? And by that I mean without directly accessing the database as well.

Alternatively, is there a pattern to permalink generation in Discourse that can be used here?

Hi all,

If I set up different categories, can I allow people to post freely in some but moderate the content before goes live in others?

If I set the category to Watching it will notify me of new posts but i won’t be able to moderate them before going life.

I’ve read somewhere that this might be done in the trust levels but I want to moderate by categories, not users.

Since I am asking about moderating. Sometimes in the past we had problems with some posts and had to check all the posts from specific users. Can this be done and how?

Thanks.

End of Life for Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty and Discourse 1.9.0.beta10?

I raised this in the how-to topic linked to the upgrade page, but it’s probably better off here.

Essentially I’m trying to work out if I need to update to Ubuntu 16 to run the latest stable build of Discourse now? A good topic for doing that looks like this one:

This looks like it is due to the latest docker-ce version for 14.04 being below what is required to run the latest Discourse stable image. Not sure, so any help appreciated.

Desired URL lost if `login required` is enabled and social logins are used

If you visit https://discourse.fictiousexample.com/t/my-fine-topic/12345 and login required is enabled, you’re redirected to https://discourse.fictiousexample.com/. Then you have to click the login button, and then you’re redirected back to the home page rather than the topic that you wanted in the first place.

What I would expect to happen (and what my client using auth0 wants to happen) is when you access a topic and are not logged in, you’d go straight tot the log in and be redirected to the topic after you’re logged in.

I thought at first it was a problem with GitHub - auth0/discourse-plugin: Discourse plugin to authenticate with auth0., but the problem seems to be with the login required setting rather than the plugin.

This seems similar to the problem of trying to access a protected topic when you’re not logged in. What happens in that case is you get a 404 and are then on your own to log in and try again to access that URL.

Would it be possible to when hitting a route that is protected to give the user an opportunity to log in before giving up?

UPDATE:

It turns out I was sending raw image data to Discourse which went over the http header limit

Hello there,

Now, i’m unable to reach the site via IP address or via domain name. How to take things forward.

Daily usage streak and badges (for building a habit)

@jonobacon wrote:

Hi Everyone,

When I roll out Discourse to my clients, a key point I always emphasize is the importance that (a) people across the organization use it (not just “community managers”, and (b) they use it on a daily basis.

For the latter, I explain habit theory and the notion that if we commit to something for around 66 days it becomes a habit. As such, I ask people to commit time in their calendars (if only 15 - 30mins a day) to visit the forum, respond to topics, and post new topics.

As such, this daily use is (I believe) key in making Discourse communities “stick”. One idea I wanted to propose here is that there is a way in which users can see their daily usage streak in the same way other services work such as fitness and mindfulness apps.

A few ideas how this could work:

  • At a simple level, this could be delivered via badges (e.g. badges for 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 100, 150, 300, 365 days).
  • Ideally, on top of this, users can see their own run streak and admins can sort users by a run streak (important for people who run Discourse rollouts to see which people are participating and which are not).

Sadly, I don’t have time to build this myself (you also don’t want my terrible code), but is anyone else interested in something such as this, and maybe want to build it?

Continuing the discussion from Set up Slack notifications using the discourse-chat-integration plugin:

Just tried typing /discourse post in a Slack thread and got this response:

/discourse is not supported in threads. Sorry!

Interestingly though, typing /discourse post in the normal channel composer does pick up messages from within threads.

I also tried creating two threads and then alternating posting messages in each thread.

Then, when I did /discourse post 10, the transcript created had each of these messages interleaved…

But the error message is still confusing…

Remove emojis from browser tab title (not from topic title, please reopen!)

Emojis in a topic title:

  • uselessly increases the length of the browser tab title,
  • add icons in a place where only tab icons should be.

See here (the tab title almost disappears because of the ‘glasses’ emoji, and the additional icon is a UI nuisance):

Summarizing the title as much as possible for areas where space matters should be a goal, and removing emojis from the tab title looks like an easy win.

EDIT: Notice that I’m not talking here about removing emojis from topic titles, which is a great feature.

I have a forum powered by Discuss on Modx cms (Discuss 1.2-pl).

I can provide a local install of Modx/discuss from Mamp on Mac.

Optional work:

Even if the final result would be importing datas to Discourse. I’m also interested in customizing Vanilla Porter. (Vanilla Porter 2.3 — Vanilla Forums)

Vanilla export file works like a charm with Discourse. And I am sure I will be able to re-use the script the future.

When do you need it done?
In a week max.

What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?
$250-550. Of course, it is negotiable, but depends on your experience.

Bear in mind you’ll have to work locally. I won’t give you access to a live server.

Has anyone built a bot like thing that can reply to posts if specific conditions are met (e.g. "topic in category foo, does not contain string bar)?

I have quite a few “issue” type topics in the developer community I am moderating, and 75% of my replies are just asking for software and environment information. It would be great if I could have a bot version of myself that could check with some simple rules and then create a reply to the topic if they are not met.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Load meta.discourse.org (Refresh)

  2. Click on any topic with an emoji in the title

  3. Look at the tab title – emoji as code

Note: Reloading content via XHR sets the emoji correctly. It is only with a fresh load that the emoji code appears (e.g. from clicking on a notification link jumping directly to a topic).
