Discourse connector
|
|
|
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Discourse connectors detects incoming mails from Discourse and
|
|
|
|
|
improves them by fetching the content and user data via API.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
The user has to configure the mail interface so that the user's mails
|
|
|
|
|
can be fetched via Friendica. Then the user has to activate the
|
|
|
|
|
mailing list mode in Discourse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The mailing list mode in Discourse knows two different options:
|
|
|
|
|
1. Get all posts - including your own. This will create duplicates
|
|
|
|
|
if you post via Friendica.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Don't get your own posts. Then you will missing all your posts
|
|
|
|
|
that you made directly on Discourse. Since you cannot create
|
|
|
|
|
a new post via this connector (only comments are possible)

|
|
this is not a good choice either.

Known problems
|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
- You can't create starting posts
|
|
|
|
|
- Either you don't get your own posts you made directly on Discourse
|
|
|
|
|
or you do get duplicates for every post you made via Friendica.
|
|
|
|
|
- Non public categories are currently only working via some workaround
|
|
|
|
|
without the API, which most likely will cause some content problems.
|
|
|
|
|
- links to Discourse profiles in the posts are invalid.
