Slash preceeding an @mention does not generate usercard link

A slash preceeding an @mention causes the markup for the user card link to not be generated.

Example:

@codinghorror/@sam

this should have generated two notifications, but only contain the usercard link for Jeff.

EDIT... of course it doesn't do it here. works on what.thedailywtf.com as well as try.d (link while it lasts)

EDIT2: nope. i just used the wrong slash.

How to put a specific topic into a box

Hi all,

since my original request got a bit lost and I have done some research since, I will open a separate topic since this touches some fundamental stuff on how to extend and re-use Discourse components, I guess. What I want to do for my shoutbox plugin is put a topic (say, with a fixed ID 1243; I have the basics here already figured out) into a dropdown box like this:

…click the bullhorn icon and get this:

…for this, I have sucessfully re-defined the header.hbs where I put the icon, and have introduced a new template named, say, shoutbox.hbs. In this template, I have already copied the relevant excerpt of topic.hbs in order to fill it with the contents of topic 1234.

Now we're approaching the area where I am stuck: no matter what I extend, model, view or controller, it seems I cannot simply inject the topic ID somewhere in order to fill the shoutbox.hbs template with data. I'm also not clear about the role of PostStream and whether or not I need to do something with it. Introducing an extension to the topic route is also not really clear to me, since the original code topic.js.es6 in discourse/routes extends right into an instance of that class - can I extend that or do I have to copy it?

And hints where to pull would be great. Extensive debugging was a cul de sac, too because the routes/topic.js.es6 seems to be the only non-Ember call on the stack, so I guess I should start there, but have got no clue on how to do that…

Topic view tracking rules

$

@codinghorror wrote:

Here's how view tracking should work (but does not currently)

Given that we have either one of

  • a unique IP address
  • an account ID / username for a logged in user

.. and we prefer account when we have it ..

We shall count a "topic view" as a visit to the topic by this particular IP or account in the last 8 hours.

Thus, if the IP or account visits the topic again after 9 hours, that is another visit, and the view counter will increment for the topic.

The time interval will be controllable via a site setting that determines the number of hours before we consider a return visit another unique visit. This site setting will default to 8 hours.

This should work the same for all users, anonymous or logged in; obviously we won't have accounts for the anonymous users, but we will have IPs.

I'm using the Discourse Vagrant dev guide. It says that mailcatcher should already be installed in the box.

[vagrant@precise32:/vagrant (master)]$ mc
mailcatcher: command not found

I get a permission error when I try to install the gem.

[vagrant@precise32:/vagrant (master)]$ gem install mailcatcher
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
    Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5/gems/eventmachine-1.0.5

Any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks!

Allow users to set language at signup

Sorry if this is discussed elsewhere but I couldn't find it easily.

I'd like to allow users to set their preferred language at signup. We have a multilingual community. The same "interface language" option would be provided as on the preferences page, just at signup.

Try bot, a bot that teaches you about Discourse

@sam wrote:

I think it would be nice to have a bot, somewhat like slackbot that you can use to learn and interact with on https://try.discourse.org

Interacting with trybot would be achieved either by replying directly to a trybot post or mentioning @trybot

Some example interactions I thing would be handy:

@trybot can you reply to me in 20 seconds

Trybot posts a direct reply to my post in 20 seconds

@trybot can you create a new topic

Trybot posts a new topic on try

@trybot what is a badge

trybot links to a topic on meta explaining the badge system

@trybot help

a help post pops up explaining about the commands you have an so on.

After a user makes their first post trybot could post a welcome message explaining what it is and what it does (also mentioning that try is just a playground)

I find that a great way to be introduced to Discourse is interact with it, having a trybot will allow people to try out Discourse outside of a vacuum, make testing all sorts of cases a lot easier and so on.

An initial version could be as simple as having a map of regex -> post body.

Thoughts?

People replies to the email notifications

Some people tends to not understand that they receive a "notification" and that they should click on the link before answering... Rather than, they reply to the email... I'm so bored when it happens. It's relatively rare, one time per week but still is annoying...

I thought to create a fake email adresse so people get delivery email error when they do that but it seems the email adresse has to be a real one for the notification.

The from: email address used when sending all essential system emails. The domain specified here must have SPF, DKIM and reverse PTR records set correctly for email to arrive.

So how can we avoid that ?

Consistency of buttons to accept changes?

Incorrect "Can't delete all posts. Some posts are older than 60 days old."

I was viewing a user in the Admin panel and noticed this message:

Posts: 1 - Can't delete all posts. Some posts are older than 60 days old. (The delete_user_max_post_age setting.)

I've installed the forum only 9 days ago, and that user's post correctly shows as being made 16 hours ago in their public profile.

Say a user pastes an image into a post. Is that image store on the server, since I do see an "Uploading" progress indicator?

What if the user realizes during the preview that the image had included sensitive data, so they delete the <img> markup and paste a new one? Is the old image still available on the server?

"Clear bookmarks" doesn't ask for confirmation

@Zecc wrote:

The "Clear Bookmarks" won't ask for any confirmation whatsoever. It will just immediately clear all bookmarks in a topic, no matter how many of them there are or where there are (eg, whether they are currently loaded on the page or not).

While I haven't experienced this problem myself, this looks like a trap for punishing people with fat fingers.

Also, why is this button the same as the "Bookmark" (topic / first post) button? They are definitely not opposites!

You're again confusing the concept of a bookmarked topic with that of a bookmarked post, aren't you?

Invitation: extend it "to topic" instead of just "to forum"

Continuing the discussion from Community ticket system: Email-profile:

Why not? I understand the first intent of inviting was to ask people to join the forums... But what if they're already in? What if it's big enough and you didn't even know? Does it make absolute no sense to be able to still email them if you want?

I still could copy the link and email them anyway, but I think it would be much nicer to be able to send in the post formatted the same way like the ones we receive for watched topics.

I'm not just trying to think how this could be abused by spammers, and I don't think it could. Make it so it can only be sent to 1 email and, if you want to send to more, send it to yourself first... Actually, there's another idea that could perfectly replace this one, in my opinion: "email topic digest to self".

How I can sort topics by topic creation date?

Hide all sub-category pins

Continuing the discussion from Hiding Sub-Category Pin Topics:

Currently discourse only hides description pins from sub-categories. Would it be possible to extend this to all sub-category pins, or somehow allow other pins in sub-categories to be hidden in parent categories?

On our forum some categories have both a description pin, and also a number of "template" topics pinned. Having all of these templates appear in the parent category quickly makes it look messy.
