The Talkyard Community

Maybe use ProseMirror to build one? It supports both rich text and Markdown, and collaborative editing. Here Atlassian has published an open source editor built on ProseMirror: http://atlaskit.atlassian.com/packages/editor/editor-core (found out abou...

I got an installation error on PVE LXC Ubuntu 20.04 and it looks like the search tool failed to install. Total reclaimed space: 537.4MB 2020-06-30T14:37:51+00:00 upgrade-script: Downloading version v0.6.68-c255d72... (this might take long) Pulling se...

The just the docs theme for jekyll (popular with docs, as I gather) seems to have a css issue with the comments snippet. Exact code at the time: https://github.com/XertroV/fi/blob/7e50da3748805610563d864eac041125902824fd/docs/_layouts/default.html#L8...

Hi @KajMagnus See Jon's input here: https://forum.soundflow.org/-1463#post-4 He can't paste code to our forum. Do you have any idea why it would think that these are links? He also tried pasting the code inside ``` lines to no avail.

In the hosted version the storage is limited depending on the plan. How can I see how much storage is used in the hosted version?

How to edit CSS to change the colors, to match your main website / your top header / your blog. Later, there'll be a user interface for this, so you won't need to edit any CSS code. Also, currently, the arrow background is white so if you change the ...

Talkyard is an amazing piece of software. I'm hoping to use it to help researchers at my university share best practices and help each other with data analysis. You can see an example version of the site at https://www.mit.edu/~realdata/help/ . I'm t...

I don't remember if we've discussed this elsewhere. As I do remember, we talked about it quite a bit, but it's a very long time ago. We're doing various integrations now, where we try to make it easier for users to find the forum and to use it more. ...

Hi @KajMagnus We're implementing our "Get Script Help" help panel inside SoundFlow, where a user can click a button to get help with the current script, and it will ask them a few questions before then auto-generating a forum entry for them. You can ...

We've changed the design a bit on our forum and I think we'd like to consider using Talkyard for our documentation (in a way you could say our "How to" category is already documentation-by-support) Here's an example: https://forum.soundflow.org/-1842...

I was looking at the topic type function here and I think this is a great feature, but I miss the 'link type' topic. Users sometimes like to share just links, and this type of topic could come very handy. Reddit is built around this feature! [Edit] R...

I see this in group-chat: yacax98 @yacax9819 days ago Hello! Could I configure talkyard for accept or not comments before be public? KajMagnus @KajMagnus19 days ago @yacax98 — yes, go here: https:// talkyard site /-/admin/settings/moderation and type...

To use non-public parts of the API, you need to generate an API secret: Go to https:// your talkyard site /-/admin/settings/features and click Enable API and save the settings. Now, the API tab appears — go there and generate an API secret. Note that...

There's a search API: POST /-/v0/search for full text search, and also an API at: POST /-/v0/list for listing for example the X most popular pages in a category, or the Y most recent posts across the whole forum. This topic is about the List API — wh...

Hello. I have made a spanish translation of Talkyard. I made some choices that you may or may not agree with. For instance "topic" is literally translated "tema", which actually means "subject". This is the most standard translation in other forum ap...

Hi! I have self-hosted Talkyard. I am using as a comment system in mi blog. I want to disable votes for the comments. In admin area > Look and feel I see options for BLOG COMMENTS: One of that is: Blog post votes May blog readers Like or Disagree vot...

I forgot my admin password. Is there a way for me to reset it via Postgres or something? I had not configured the email server so the forgot password doesn't work.

[Edit by admin] I changed the title from "How can I configure and use as blog comment system only?", and changed topic type to Idea, instead of a question. Original question below. [/Edit] Is there any documentation? I dont know where is de developer...

We quite often have users who never find the "Ask Question" button. I guess they stay on the front page of the forum (the /categories view for us). Would it be possible to have the "Ask Question" button in the place where the forum admin currently ha...

I've set up an account and changed the "admin" section here to make sure it doesn't require login to view questions. Then I set up a test-question with this URL: https://impact-stack.talkyard.net/-9 But when I try to access the page without an open u...

I have integrated TalkYard in my Ghost blog. So far, it's working great. I recently allowed other authors to create posts by creating them accounts under "Staff". When a comment comes on a post of theirs, I still receive an email notification. Is it ...

Hello. I finally made work my Talkyard instance with nginx as reverse proxy and letsencrypt for ssl, and it took me several hours so I thought I might leave this over here so others can do it in just minutes. Environment is a VPS with Ubuntu 18.04. 1...

[Edit by KajMagnus] Now (Mars 2019), I added instructions here about how to integrate Talkyard into one's own Docker-Compose stack, which was what this question was mostly about. [/Edit] Hi, I think I am ready to move from Disqus comments to Talkyard...

Is it possible to change the text that shows up in notifications like this one?

Currently, users get an error about that it can't find the extension since the filename has more than one dot. This seems like a weird restriction, since filenames with multiple dots are perfectly valid filenames, and our users often get confused by ...

I have successfully created an API key, but I can't find any documentation of the API, even a list of what endpoints are available. Where should I be looking?

@bramscher posted a question about Bubble.io and Talkyard: (here)

Talkyard has a Single Sign-On (SSO) API. To use it, you'll write some code, and edit Talkyard settings. (Note: 1) Currently the SSO API is for Talkyard's forum only — not yet implemented, for blog comments. 2) Later there will be OpenID Connect (OIDC...

Here's an incomplete list of API features Talkyard could support: Find the 5 most popular questions on topic X, so those questions can be embedded within a page relating to that topic (mentioned here: https://www.talkyard.io/-378#post-3 )

It would be great if we could do things we do often via keyboard shortcuts. For example: Cmd+Enter: Post question. C: Compose new question R: Reply E: Archive (mark closed for example) J/K: Next/previous (between threads or between posts in pages) N:...

I'm not sure if IE11 is not supported by purpose, or if it's just an accident? It's just a pity that many of our users are working in predefined environments and cannot choose to upgrade the environment.

is this possible? it would be an important feature if you want to reach users that are currently already using a system like discourse (like me)

Hi @KajMagnus I'm hitting a limit in creating a new category: I'm trying to set up a category for internal use. Can you lift this limit or do something to make this work for us? This is once again delaying our work since we use the forum for planning...

When I google something on the forum, it says "Your site is not mobile friendly". I bet this must hurt the placement of search results in Google quite much. Perhaps it would make sense to research how to improve this so that Google doesn't penalize b...

Quite often (especially new) users will inadvertently end up writing a question as a Direct Message or even in a chat. While I don't want to eliminate direct messages between regular users, it would be great if there was an option for me to set so th...
