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 ...

I want to use Talkyard for blog comments. I’m having trouble setting it up the way I want. Could you tell me how to achieve the following: moderate all comments always only name and email required without account no login required So basically, a new...

I'm starting a developer diary, inspired by Flarum and their Dev Diary (https://discuss.flarum.org/d/12325-dev-diary-beta-8). — I feel I've been working and working and working without telling people what I'm working with. And things take longer than...

To support RTL (right-to-left) languages, need to add CSS direction: rtl, and reorder UI widgets (in addition to adding i18n translation files).

@KajMagnus for those posts prior to my setting up a discussionId parameter to make their comments portable, is there a way in the Admin view I can see an ID and then retroactively apply it to those older posts? Am doing some transitioning and hate to...

I'm migrating over from Disqus to Talkyard, and I have a lot of old comments in Disqus. Fortunately Disqus allow you to export comments, so I'm wondering what the best way to import them into Talkyard would be. Just to be clear on what I'm asking, I ...

Talkyard can be configured to require manual approval of a new user's first N posts. However, if a new member deletes one of his/her first posts, then, the staff cannot approve it, so the member cannot get approved to continue posting. — Probably Tal...

It'd be good if Talkyard was simple to configure together with Kubernetes and Docker Swarm. And Traefik or Caddyserver (proxy servers with automatic HTTPS). Maybe these could be the first steps: (or "all" that's needed?) Provide a sample Docker-Compo...

It'd be good if there was a way to upload a file with email addresses, and invite say 50 people at once — rather than clicking and typing 50 times to invite them one at a time. What about this comma-separated-file format: (namely each user on a separ...

Where is information for the web server configuration? I am already using Apache2. Thank you, Dana

So there's going to be an endpoint for upserting categories. This is what I have in mind: (feedback welcome :- )) POST server-address/-/v0/upsert-simple and that endpoint accepts a SimpleUpsertV0 object that looks like this, in Typescript: (and ? me...

Testing is going fine for integrated comments on my Ghost blog. But I've run into a problem trying to set up the discussion forum. Some background. I'm using Windows 10 and the Vivaldi browser. My blog is hosted by Ghost.org but it's still behind a p...

Hi, I was reading through some of the docs and was already aware of the runtime requirements of the JVM; I saw that Toshi was mentioned as an alternative to Elasticsearch which is using much of the resources, but I see it's not regarded as production...

Here's what's next for Talkyard. Feedback & change suggestions are welcome; you can add a comment below. If you compare with the previous roadmap you'll notice that things have taken longer than planned — and that's one reason why I'll focus on makin...

Hi, I'm building a social platform for students/parents/etc and just found TY. Seems like a possible fit. I have seen some of the comments in this forum about various integrations, but is there a dev doc that goes through all the ways to integrate in...

Hey, as title says. I have seen this: https://www.talkyard.io/-68/is-there-a-level-between-account-required-and-totally-anonymous but it seems like it is talking about the comments part of Talkyard. I am looking at hosting Talkyard for a company inte...

Hacker News (HN) and Reddit are great, and sometimes a bit annoying? The annoying parts can be fixed: 1. Finding new comments When you read a discussion at Hacker News (HN) or Reddit, and go for a coffee or take a nap, then later how do you find comm...

Hello. I tested the Talkyard comment service and found one feature there. The service is bound to the domain and thus keeps statistics of comments. In other words, if we run it on a domain example.com and then, for some reason, change the domain name...

It seems like the search function only finds exact words, e.g., when I search for "search" I won't find articles containing "searching". Is there a way to change this behavior so that substring matching would work? Update: The title and the paragraph...

A thread starter had quotes in their title and I needed to change something else in their title. When I click edit, the title is showing me the & and " entities, but when resaving those will now get escaped so the displayed title ends up hav...

I'm using talkyard as the commenting system on my blog: https://outde.xyz. Some of my blog's readers would like to get notifications for specific posts even if there are no comments yet. This does not work for two reasons: Without any comments, the v...

Talkyard lets one export one's site in JSON (and later, a Zip (?) archive that also includes uploaded files). (Not completely finished, is being tested out currently.) The title post is always post nr 0 — but I'd like to change to -1 because 0 is a l...

Many of our customers and myself included are experiencing that we have to log in again very often. I'm guessing this could be related to server update rollouts, in which the sessions are purged maybe? Seems like an alternative solution is needed in ...

Here are things relatively many ask about, and that have not yet been implemented: Custom groups — now available, June 2019. You can add people to a group, and configure security permision and notification settings for everyone in the group at once. ...

Hi @KajMagnus! Thanks for all the help you've given me so far. I'm hoping to get the SMTP sending working finally for my forums. Here is the error I currently experience: app_1 | {"message":"s1: Sending email [TyMEMLSENDNG]: Email(adgnbaax7shp41ok,Ve...

People who don't use computers a lot, get confused by the topic list buttons. That is, these: They think that "Active, New, Top" refer to the "All categories" button, and are unsure about if the list below shows categories, or topics (they don't both...

I've tried to configure the authentication for Github Enterprise using Github OpenAuth. However, it failed where it calls to the /user/emails api from the Github server. Can you please make it be configurable like other endpoints? (e.g. github.author...

Hello! When I run the "make up" command, it gets stuck on an error: [error] (update) sbt.librarymanagement.ResolveException: unresolved dependency: community.ed#ed-logging_2.12;0.0.2: not found Is this a known issue?

The Facebook icon on the "copy link" dialog is missing. It's pointing back to my domain, which does not have this image. https://uctrl.thomasjsn.now.sh/-/media/brands/facebook/flogo-HexRBG-Wht-58.png should probably be https://tyw-49f8.kxcdn.com/-/m...

To reproduce: Create an account with a Gmail address. Then go to https://talkyard-server/-/users/the-username/preferences/account and connect a 2nd Gmail address. The verification email, to check that this addr works, gets sent to the first and prima...

Hi @KajMagnus We're upgrading SoundFlow to newest Electron version, and there the webview support is now deprecated. Long story short, we need to now embed the Talkyard forum as an iframe. However, the forum detects we're embedding in an iframe and t...

I am experimenting with Talkyard in my Hugo-based site, and I have a couple of suggestions for the Hugo templates integration, in the comments.html template file. Mine now looks like this: <script>talkyardServerUrl={{ .Site.Params.talkyardServerUrl }...

When the username begins with a number, the user profile will not load. Example, check my profile.

The original concern turned out to be a misunderstanding of the meaning of the main "Reply" button in the page comments UI. Original posting: I am trying out Talkyard with my Hugo site, and testing locally. I have added http://localhost:1313 to the l...

Here another idea: instead of the 'new topic' button on the top of the frontpage I would like to see a floating button for new the new topic action. This is practical and mor modern. Twitter has it as Google plus and a lot of other aplications https:...

It's getting increasingly frustrating that we're being met with "Server is slow right now" messages on a regular basis. Is there any fix for this coming up or will this continue to happen as often as it does now? Customers are complaining about it, i...

All modal popups tend to flicker the screen. This could be made to feel more intuitive. The rest of the GUI seems very nice and smooth so this is something that makes any UI interaction that involves the popups seem unfinished. Lmk if you need more i...

This is a bit confusing if one does not know the naming history of Talkyard :)
