Hey,
We have custom header links here and they look great until you're on a phone.
Then they look like this

I have this code in the Header CSS

    // header links
.nav-link-container {
    li {
        display: inline-block;
        float: right;
        a {
            color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

            font-size: 15px;
            padding: 0 1em;
        }
    }

and this in </head>

Upgrade to 1.4.0.beta6 from beta4 stalled

@pschichtel wrote:

Hi everyone,

I'm running a Discourse instance using the Docker based installation. Upgrades are done using the docker_manager plugin which has worked very well for me since I initially installed the instance sometime during the 1.3.0.betaX releases.

Today I started the upgrade from 1.4.0.beta4 to 1.4.0.beta6 as usual after seeing the new-version-notification mail.
After a while when checking back on the progress (expecting it to be finished) I noticed the upgrade was still working on the assets. After waiting another while I though maybe the upgrade console got stuck and reopened the docker_manager UI. The main page still showed, that a new version is available, however the number of new commits was 0 (as expected after an upgrade) and the upgrade button shows "Currently upgrading..." (also as expected). Clicking the button brings me to the upgrade console, but the console stays empty. The polling requests result in HTTP 200 with an empty array in the body. The forum itself is still running as normal, Administration dashboard tells me there is a new version even though it shows "v1.4.0.beta6 +3" as installed.

This is a small installation with just a few posting users, 1G RAM and 1 CPU core.

What can I do now? Are there logs to check? How do I see whether the upgrade is still doing something? Is it safe to reset the upgrade at this point?

How/Where are the table rows being generated?

I can't for the life of me figure out where the table rows are being generated for the topic list.

topic-list.hbs generates the topic body

<tbody>   {{each topic in topics itemView="topic-list-item"}} </tbody>

and then topic-list-item.hbs generates the table data

<td class='main-link clearfix' colspan="{{titleColSpan}}">

But how/where exactly are the table rows being generated? I'm sure it's staring me in the face and I just don't see it.

Hi, sometimes I have private conversations, symbolised by the little envelope symbol. I often need to find these again for reference, but I can't seem to find where they "live" - I am an admin which might be confusing the issue.

I have looked in as many places I can think, but the only way I seem to find them is by finding a post from the person in question and clicking from their avatar...

Convince me to transition over from Google Groups

$

@ryanwanger wrote:

Google Groups is no longer meeting our needs for a variety of reasons, and I'm wondering how things might map over to using Discourse. We have around 300 google groups, but there really isn't a reason that someone in one group shouldn't have access to content posted in another group (other than based on who they are, we decided that it's less relevant to them).

So, is it correct to think about moving over as:

  1. Create a Discourse forum that can only be accessed by the people
    already in our Google Groups
  2. Instead of forming Groups in Discourse, create Categories, and then
    set up users for notifications for the categories which map to the
    existing google groups. (300 categories is probably
    unnecessary...and we could probably pare it down to 50 or less in
    Discourse)

Is that correct? Basically it's a universe of users that would all have access to the forum. Anyone could view anything else, but currently they're all automatically getting (email) notifications around certain topics, and we'd like to continue that seamlessly.

Questions:

  1. What are groups for in Discourse? I haven't been able to find a good
    explanation...other than a sense that they're good for making
    private areas within an existing Discourse forum.
  2. Does the API support creating users? (Where is the definitive
    documentation for this? I just keep getting directed to other, newer
    threads)
  3. Does the API support assigning notification levels, by category, for
    users?

Thanks

Discourse for Darknets?

$

@strager wrote:

So I was thinking that Discourse would be an amazing addition to many Darknet communities- however because of its dependence on Javascript, it would be very difficult to maintain user anonymity. I wonder if there is a way to make Discourse work in an anonymous way so that user IPs etc. are not tracked, no email requirements, TOR on the back-end, etc. Just speculating on the feasibility (no plans to do anything like this myself) but considering how most "off the grid" communities are forced to use ancient versions of phpbb etc. in order to keep their users identities safe, if something like this could be done it would be a huge boon to that scene*.

*By 'that' scene I mean any site which privacy is of paramount concern such as Wikileaks-like sites, political activist sites in countries where such behavior may not be permissible, etc.

On advertising of paid plugins in non marketplace topics

@sam wrote:

I think that's a perfectly fair argument, and I think you've been somewhat unfairly treated here on Meta.

Many developers don't do any advertisement for their work, and eventually give up on their projects because they couldn't garner any interest. I can't fault you for trying to get your name out there.

That being said though, keep these things in mind:

  • Unwritten rules are still rules. Just because Meta isn't officially or explicitly stating (or maybe it is, but it's hard to find) that commercial advertising isn't allowed except within Category X and Y, you should still take great care to listen carefully when told to show off your wares elsewhere. You went with the "ask for forgiveness, not permission" approach, which is fine, but now it's time for the forgiveness part.

  • Contributing back to Discourse can be a great selling point. As a frequent customer of premium WordPress products, I can attest that I've always preferred sellers who've had some involvement with the WordPress open source project, either through a popular open source plugin or direct contributions to core (WooThemes did both, and they've now been bought up by Automattic/WordPress.com)

You don't wanna get off on the wrong foot with the community that you're trying to enrich.

How to sponsor 3rd party development on Discourse core?

$

@sam wrote:

In the topic Difficulty using the code tag </> @gingerling raised a desire to have a way to contribute money to Discourse and in turn get a feature.

We have plenty of talented developers around like @dmitry_fedyuk and @lightyear that may be able to undertake this kind of work.

Here is the outline of how I would recommend going about it.

This only deals with core features, plugins can have a way different lifecycle.

Step 0 — do you have the budget?

Keep in mind, developing Discourse is a highly skilled technical task. As such you should budget at least $100 per hour for custom development for 3rd parties. As a general rule Discourse team do not take on custom development from non-customers unless we see it as important strategic work. Our rates are higher than $100 an hour.

Step 1 — create an RFC topic

The RFC (request for comments) category was created as a holding place for detailed specs of features in Discourse that are still open for discussion.

In the RFC we can discuss estimates on scope of work (how long it should probably take), what should be included in V1 and what not, etc.

Once we are done discussing we move the category into the spec category, this turns the RFC into a blessed feature anyone can work on.

For paid work it is critical that first the feature is blessed, we do not want to be forced into a situation where we are faced with a huge "pull request" to Discourse core for a feature we do not desire.

Step 2 — create a marketplace topic

Create a topic on marketplace describing budget and linking to the spec topic. If anyone is confident they can build it they can post there.

Decide who you give the work to

Step 3 — PR gets accepted into Discourse

Once the feature is built the developer needs to submit a PR to Discourse, this PR must meet our standards and fill the spec in a very accurate way, otherwise it will not be accepted.

Step 4 — Send money to developer

Not much to say, once work is done and feature is in Discourse you should fill your part of the bargain.

Please use octocat for "Log in with GitHub" logo

@xuhdev wrote:

Discourse looks nice, but the GitHub logo in the SSO dialog does not look correct for me: it is a single word "git" on it, neither the GitHub logo, nor the word "GitHub", which looks strange compared with the other logos in the SSO dialog. We know that the "brand" "git" is nowhere associate with GitHub, IMO that's the reason why it does not look good for me (Google's "G", Yahoo's "Y!" etc all look associated with their corresponding websites). maybe it's better to change the "git" logo to the octocat?

Just my 2-cent, thanks!
