Current Projects - October 2024 Welcome to our second edition of Current Projects, a monthly newsletter about what we’re currently working on at Discourse. Your questions and feedback are welcome! Kicking off Composer redesign Our composer redesign project is still in its early stages, but we’re getting closer to defining our design direction and choosing the libraries that we’ll be building upon. After evaluating our options, three contenders bubbled to the top: Lexical, ProseMirror, and TipTap. We did some earlier prototyping with Lexical, but ProseMirror looks compelling, and its recent adoption by some larger projects addresses some of our earli…

I upgraded one of my legacy licenses so I could access the beta. After browsing a few sites that have the beta installed I am going to install it with the idea that I will move to it once v5 is gold. If the beta proves as stable as v3 and v4 were when they were beta I might go ahead and move to it right away. I upgraded Admin Addict to v3 and v4 beta before I converted to xenforo when I acquired Admin Talk. Might step out of the box again. I am not easily impressed by much. I am very impressed with what I see so far. One of the major things I like is you get all products instead of having to buy each module. This also includes the payment processing app. If I wan…

I have created 2 new user groups. They are: VIP Visiting Admin The visiting admin group is for admins from other sites that are active participants here. The VIP group is for members that actively participate in the discussions, create new topics and contribute articles. Members promoted to this group will get extra privileges and get a shiny badge to denote that they are indeed VIP's. If you have any questions I'll answer them.

Since the site was opened I've had a number of users register from Russia. I've seen this before with users from India. They would register and let the account remain idle for a few weeks. Then they would come back and post a boatload of spam. Spam filters would catch most. Some would get through. I'm seeing the same thing with members registering from Russia. Is anyone else seeing a high number of users registering from Russia?

Hello everyone, I'm Cedric, ex-owner of Admin Junkies, current owner of Administrata - Empowering Community Leaders and Agora - Marketplace for Freelancers and Businesses. :) Like many of you, forums are in my blood. I've been part of forum communities since I was 11 or 12, and now at 33, that’s quite a journey. Over the years, I’ve run advertising, promotion, and resource forums, starting with platforms like InvisionFree and Zetaboards. Back then, admin-focused forums weren’t really a thing, but this niche has always been where my passion lies. I created Admin Junkies and ran it successfully for almost two years before selling it. However, I quickly realized I regr…

I have consolidated the individual forum software forums in the new Forum Software Discussions forum. Instead of having a forum for each specific forum software we will use thread prefixes. If you want to suggest any new prefixes that I might have missed let me know.

We have added several new features to Discourse based on popular theme components to make it easier to customize the design of your community. In this topic, we’ll share more about these new core features, how to use them, and provide information about they compare to the theme components that inspired them. Header search The header search feature moves search from the magnifying glass in the top right corner to a more prominent input field in the site header. When more header space is needed (such as when scrolling a topic), the search will revert to the magnifying glass to save room. To turn on header search… In the admin area, go to your site settings. Find the Search experience setting. Update this setting to “Search field in site header”. Click the green check to save. Header search feature vs. Advanced Header Search component Header search was inspired by the Header Search theme component, which we’ve renamed to Advanced Header Search to distinguish it from the core feature. You should use the Advanced Header Search component when you need to support external searches (i.e. searches outside of your Discourse community). Otherwise, you can use the header search feature that’s now part of Discourse core. Welcome banner The welcome banner greets members and visitors and adds a prominent search bar to your topic lists. The welcome banner and header search features are compatible with each other so that header search will be hidden while the welcome banner is visible. To turn on welcome banner… In the admin area, go to your site settings. Find the Enable welcome banner setting. Enable this setting. Click the green check to save. To customize the message displayed on the banner, go to the Site Texts area, and search for “welcome_banner”. You can modify text strings for registered member greeting, anonymous user greeting, and search field. Welcome banner vs. Advanced Search Banner component Welcome banner was inspired by the Search Banner component, which we’ve renamed to Advanced Search Banner to distinguish it from the core feature. You should use the Advanced Search Banner component when you want to use custom background images for the banner, enter multiple lines of text in the banner, or change who can see the banner (i.e. logged in members, logged out users, or both). Otherwise, you can use the welcome banner feature that’s now part of Discourse core. Category icons and emoji You can now use icons and emoji to distinguish categories, instead of the colored square. To use category icons / emoji… When creating or editing a category, change the Style setting to Icon or Emoji. Choose the icon or emoji you want to use. The color will determine the icon color (if using) and impact other areas where a color is associated with the category, such as on the /categories page. Click Save Category. Category icons and emoji vs. Category Icons component Category icons and emoji were inspired by the Category Icons component, which we will soon be deprecating in favor of this core feature because it supports more customization (i.e. emojis) and offers a much simpler setup experience. For those currently using Category Icons, we recommend moving your icon customizations from Category Icons to the core category settings for longterm support and ongoing feature improvements. In our testing, the component settings override the core feature settings, but these were not designed to be used together. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic

Quick PSA: github.com/discourse/discourse FEATURE: when rich editor is enabled markdown is in monospace main ← monospace opened 03:34AM - 01 Apr 25 UTC SamSaffron +11 -1 - adds .d-editor-container--rich-editor-enabled to d-editor-container - conditio…nally swaps textarea to monospace when siteSettings.rich_editor is enabled For those of you testing the new composer (either here on meta or your own site) we just swapped the markdown (aka. source code) font to a monospace font. This helps clarify to users that you are in “markdown” mode vs “rich” mode. The change aligns the font choice to what is generally accepted in the industry (reddit / stack exchange) The change only takes effect on sites with rich editor enabled, and should be live here in 20-40 minutes. 11 posts - 6 participants Read full topic

Discourse 3.0.2 Stable Release Discourse strongly recommends that all sites follow the default tests-passed branch of Discourse. The “stable” branch is more focused on lack of change than lack of bugs - all releases, including those on tests-passed and beta are production ready. Security Updates This release includes fixes for these security issues reported by our community and HackerOne. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-4p63-qw6g-4mv2 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic

New features in 3.5.0.beta2 Review queue We have begun making a series of improvements to the review queue, where moderators can review and handle flagged content. A popup is displayed after completing a review action, as a success indication and to prevent accidental multi-clicks. If a post is flagged due to matching watched words, the responsible words are listed now so it’s easier to immediately know the reason for the flag. Welcome banner We have added a new welcome banner feature, to welcome members and allow them to search site content. To turn it on, select the Enable welcome banner site setting. Admin interface We continue to make improvements to the admin interface at a rapid pace. Three improvements to highlight: Uploading and managing your site’s logos has become easier with the newly redesigned and reorganized branding page. The logos we think every site should have are highlighted, while optional logos have been tucked away. When editing your theme’s color palettes (formerly known as color schemes) you can now specify color hex codes in addition to the usual color picker. If you like to get into your theme’s code to edit HTML and CSS, you will enjoy the newly improved theme editing interface. We hid seldom used fields behind a toggle, added better descriptions, and always display descriptions at the top rather than behind tooltips. Security Updates This release includes fixes for these security issues reported by our community and HackerOne. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-hfcx-qjw6-573r https://github.com/discourse/discourse/security/advisories/GHSA-4p63-qw6g-4mv2 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic

Invision Community 5.0.5 Beta 1 Released Mr Milchick approved We're back with a brand new release! This release fixes a few of the bigger issues reported over the past couple of releases. Elasticsearch For those using Elasticsearch, please note that the new minimum version for Elasticsearch is now 8.0, with the latest version 8.17 recommended. Those using Elastic search in v5.0.4 and earlier (including all of v4) will need to upgrade their Elasticsearch server, and then rebuild the search index. We chose to update to the latest version of Elasticsearch as v7 is no longer supported and there's been some document level changes in how data is stored. We've tested it thoroughly but let us know if you find anything odd! Using Betas If you do not see an upgrade, it means that you do not have betas enabled. Invision Community Cloud Cloud customers can opt-in to betas in the client area. Invision Community Classic Self-hosting customers can either download the release from the client area, or add the following line to constants.php define( 'USE_DEVELOPMENT_BUILDS', TRUE );If you do not have this file, create it in a text editor, so the contents looks like: <?php define( 'USE_DEVELOPMENT_BUILDS', TRUE );Let me know how you get on! Coming up soonish There's some discussion around sluggish javascript in some areas. This looks to be specific to Chrome and occasionally Safari, which honestly has taken a nose dive in quality recently. We think we know why, but it's taking some time to figure it all out. Essentially, we think it's some parts of our older javascript framework struggling with the new CSS framework. We'll get it figured out, but I wanted you to know that we're on it.
