Hey Guys,
in addition to the following post

I want to display forum name which is 'ClipBucket discourse' in my case when sending notification email which is notify@clipbucket.com. Gmail parse it as only 'notify' and confuses user. Wouldn't it be nice to display our own forum name instead?

or am I missing something?

Where do half baked containers live and how to delete them?

Hi,

i'm currently just playing around on a test installation trying to warm up with docker, ruby, discourse et al.

My current problem is that when bootrapping fails and probably things getting really broken i'd like to complete kill all data that's been there so far without killing other containers. Problem is that docker doesn't recognize the container from the failed bootstrap yet but the data seems to be there and doesn't get downloaded.

This may not happen in normal circumstances but i'm really trying to break things at the moment to find solutions for exactly these cases.

As far as i know so far there is data in /var/lib/docker/aufs/ (in mnt and diff) but i can't tell from the launchers output which of the hashed subdirectories is responsible for the container i'm currently trying to build.

Any general chance to get rid of this data as long as no container really extists (at least docker ps and docker ps -a doesn't list it).

Thanks for helping,
Frank

I added a custom CSS and saved it a few times, then reloaded page and even tried in anonymous mode in Google Chrome, but I can't see any changes even in 10 minutes.

When I click the "preview" button, it shows nice though.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I cannot reproduce this constantly, but it happens especially when I type fast, here is the recording:

I thought it might happen if there is only one result if my search, but then I tried "mode", which gives 4 results, and if I type it fast, the search input loses the focus, so I cannot continue typing to refine my search.

Calling Discourse API to add multiple users fails on the second user

Bill Graziano wrote:

I'm working on a little c# utility to move users from an existing forum into Discourse. I have the code working to add a single user. However when I call the code a second time I get an error that "Signup is not allowed from this account.".

Apparently after you call the API to create a new account, it switches you to that account. I've tried starting the API calls over at the beginning. I've tried keeping the same forum session from my first call when I was logged in as the admin user. Here's my workflow:

  1. Call the forum general URL once with the api_key and api_username and save the cookie I get back.
  2. For each user I'm trying to add:
    (a) GET /users/hp.json and save the two values returned
    (b) GET /session/csrf.json and save the value returned
    (c) POST /users with the assorted values from above.

The first user goes through just fine and I get the confirmation email. The second user fails with "Signup is not allowed from this account."

I've tried reusing the API key and API username in the POST to /users but that didn't help.

Is what I'm doing even possible?

My best guess is the POSTing to /users resets the forumsession cookie to the new user and I'm not completely resetting it back to what it should be. Does that sound reasonable?

Unable to assign category to topic if fixed category position is enabled and current position is in conflict

Looks like a bug, maybe someone would want to try to replicate?

Have fixed category positions enabled
Create a new category and assign a position number, which is allready assigned to an existing category. I.e.:
If you have a category with a fixed position 1, assign position 1 to the newly created category
Create a new topic
Try to assign that newly created category from the drop down of categories to your proposed topic
In my case, the category is not there in the drop down list.

How to encourage the creation of topics?

Devanil wrote:

I have a small forum, but it has a good interaction. It has around 200 members and more than 5000 posts.

But very few topics are created. The reasons for this, according to my investigations are:

  1. There is no emphasis on the create button topic. Some people came to ask me where it was (and was not user level 0)
  2. The natural shyness to create topics.

Obviously, I will do some campaign to try to reduce shyness. If anyone has suggestions about that, I'm open.

But I think the system can do something about it. I have no solutions, but some suggestions:

More emphasis on the creation of topics.

On Facebook, the creation of topics is highlighted at the top of the group:

When the user clicks "Escreva algo" (write something), the editor opens. Could there be something like this in Discourse. A pre-editor prominently in the top of the homepage. Perhaps it could be like this to reply a topic.

Possibility to create topics from links

In my experience with Facebook groups. most of the discussions were created based on a link. A news or an article with a comment or text starting the debate.

In Discourse this is not possible. Not all links generate embed (like Wikipedia).

A suggestion:

In the beginning, to get used to the editor, Facebook had a "Share Link" option in the options editor. Today, everyone knows that just paste and this is embeddded.

Sorry for my English, I'm not a native and I'm terrible with grammar. I tried to be understandable. My suggestions are perhaps not the best. But I want to bring this difficulty I'm having with my experience with the Discourse. I just think it could be a way to entices the user to create a topic.

The beauty of Discourse is that many of the difficulties are resolved with features. This may be the case.

[SOLVED] Can't Connect to the Server

I have just installed Discourse on Debian Wheezy and I'm not even able to connect to it by it's IP address (+the port I set up). Safari says:

Safari Can't Connect to the Server
Safari can't open the page "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8020", because
Safari can't connect to the server "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx".

My containers/app.yml file contains the following relevant options and it's based on sample/standalone.yml:

expose:
  - "8020:8020"
  - "2222:22"

DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME: 'hereismydomain.com'
  • I ran ./launcher start app as root, because other users don't have permission to use Docker.
  • I changed the port to :8020, because I am using Nginx on the server and I will want to make a proxy for my installation
  • as of that, I don't want people to be able to connect directly on the port (I'm about to block it with iptables, but if you know a better solution, I'm open)
  • I have a server at DigitalOcean with 2 GB of RAM and I made a swapfile with 1 GB as everybody's saying Discourse will thank it

Thanks!

In popular topics, users sometimes tend to get lost from the topic itself, so new users wont try to get in the middle already off tracks topic.

I suggest the @OP mention so new user can join and mention @OP and get the topic back on tracks.

How does this sound to you?

Why we must login before we can use share function

Wuchong wrote:

I do think share is a very important function in forum. However a visitor(come from google or other share link) without login can not share the post which he likes. This may reduce engagement and traffic.

Why Discourse did not make it like a blog system, people can share post without login?

Or could it be configured ?

How many likes per Discourse post?

Erlend Sogge Heggen wrote:

If you visit disqus.com/about, you'll notice an interesting little statistic presented in their slider:

20 million comments a month
80 million likes a month

That's an average of 4 likes per comment. This immediately made me curious: What's the likes-to-comments ratio of Discourse...

  • globally?
  • on Meta?
  • on some of its biggest forums?

I'm not really planning to draw any kind of conclusion from the metrics. It'd just be really cool tidbit of information. My hypothesis is that it's higher.

As far as impressive metrics go, I reckon my to-be-favorite Discourse metric will be "# of pages read per user" combined with "time spent on site".

It's actually cut off like that at the end.

Here's the raw text in question:

Here's one that I came across that is starting soon:

**[Statistical Learning in R](https://class.stanford.edu/courses/HumanitiesandScience/StatLearning/Winter2015/about)**

_Free online class from Stanford, running 19 Jan 2015 - 03 Apr 2015._

> This is an introductory-level course in supervised learning, with a focus on regression and classification methods. The syllabus includes: linear and polynomial regression, logistic regression and linear discriminant analysis; cross-validation and the bootstrap, model selection and regularization methods (ridge and lasso); nonlinear models, splines and generalized additive models; tree-based methods, random forests and boosting; support-vector machines. Some unsupervised learning methods are discussed: principal components and clustering (k-means and hierarchical).

> This is not a math-heavy class, so we try and describe the methods without heavy reliance on formulas and complex mathematics. We focus on what we consider to be the important elements of modern data analysis. Computing is done in R. There are lectures devoted to R, giving tutorials from the ground up, and progressing with more detailed sessions that implement the techniques in each chapter.

> The lectures cover all the material in [An Introduction to Statistical Learning, with Applications in R by James, Witten, Hastie and Tibshirani (Springer, 2013)](http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/ISL/). As of January 5, 2014, the pdf for this book will be available for free, with the consent of the publisher, on the book website.

Any idea what's going on here? The only non-standard plugin that I have is MathJax. I tried disabling that, but I still get the error. I rebuilt the app container from the command line, but it didn't help at all.

Thoughts?
