Hey, I managed to get quite far with customizing the Talkyard CSS, but I have several issues: I don't understand the meaning of the class names. They don't seem to follow a logic or system and neither are they very descriptive. I'd rather start from ...

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 ...

Hello, First thanks a lot for this great tool, it is amazing! I'm thinking to use it to help building a community that could (should) have meetings/events between each other, and these events should be proposed by the community. So my dream would be ...

If a blog visitor subscribes to comments for a blog post, then Talkyard lazy-creates a page for that blog post (so that there's something to subscribe to). However, Talkyard also sends a "You have replies" email, because of this new page, although th...

So this is the first newsletter / announcement. I haven't been good at communicating what features and things appear in Talkyard — let's try to change that :- ) New features .... since the last few months: Discussion forum features: Custom user group...

@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 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...

The guide in the Admin section says I should look in the "Settings Tab" but I can see no settings UI of any sort. Also there seem to me no moderation tools either. I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious. thanks

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. ...

I followed the hexo instructions to try out and it worked ok once I removed some of the conditional expression. But my website has a black background and I want to be able to edit the css - ideally you'd have a dark mode ready to use. PS I had to cre...

I'm guessing most commenters (if I ever get any) will just type in text so the markdown preview may seem confusing. Perhaps the preview could be optional or on detection of markdown in text?

In Admin area -> Settings -> Site, when I try to set a new address this error is show: Error 500 Internal Server Error Something went wrong: [DwE500REX] java.lang.RuntimeException: This statement modified 0 rows but should have touched exactly one r...

when someone else signs up into my forum, the reply-to on the sign-up email is support@talkyard.io - is there a way to change that?

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...

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 ...

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

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...

Hello everyone, I do not work the local installation with docker, does anyone know why? this is my log log.txt (11.01 kB)

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...

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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...
