The Talkyard Community

Chat about Talkyard and related things. E.g. ask quick questions.

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...

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...

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 ...

Here's brief info about how to configure Gmail, Facebook, Twitter and GitHub OpenAuth login, for your self hosted Talkyard server. If you try to follow these instructions — mabye you'd like to contribute with images and screenshots that illustrates t...

[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...

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...

Hello. I found this app and it looks it could meet my needs. I have a news community, and I discovered dev.lemmy.ml, which is software inspired in the old reddit, however, thought promissing it is still lacking in many aspects. My other choice was di...

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

Here's what's next for Talkyard, in no specific order (except for "Sooner" and "Later"). Feedback is welcome; you can add comments below. Old roadmap, from 2018: https://www.talkyard.io/-171/talkyard-roadmap-2018-11-26 Sooner: Improvements for School...

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 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. ...

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)

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...

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 )

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...

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...

Where are the files served up by the web server hidden?

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...

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 have a documentation generated from asciidoc which produces a manual in PDF and in static html page. Talkyard provides the Q&A page for using the product. Most answers will reference the manual again. Basically we just open the manual and the Q&A t...

Hi Kaj, Is there already a way to show header and logo in Talkyard-Prod. I need to do customization of Talkyard. Can you suggest something for it. Regards Arjun Singh

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...

Is there any support for right-to-left languages?

Are there any per file upload limits? How can I configure it? How are the defaults in the hosted version (depending on the plan)?
