Quoting with tags in the text doesn’t really work via copy paste, so I made this post then edited in order to copy the quoted part of your post, but now I know a tag is a “hash” tag here also.
Anyway. Yes there is a synonym thingy for tags, but what it does then is convert those to the preferred tag. What I had hoped was that this synonym would remain and then auto-substitute for anything tagged newly with the variation covered by a synonym, so if there is such a thing as an addon or a config option to discourse, I would recommend it for the purpose/effect indicated.
EDIT: I am confused by how discourse displays the synonyms, since “Virtualization” shows as VM, while VMs still shows as being that synonym “VMs”, and if these remain as they are then we have the desired effect afterall.
Either way, those excess tags, Virtualization and VMs, have been rolled into VM.
Agreed, there are a few less than ideal things I’ve noticed about the way discourse renders those link cards. In that case it may also have something to do with Jira permissions. That one is marked Public Facing, which means viewable to any logged in user. This one has no security level and should be viewable without log in:
There is an option to dismiss any notice, which I recently enabled for the remaining one at the top and I revised its text slightly.
However, I also added a second much smaller notice which will fade-in after about 1100 milliseconds which is just a very short “forum is read only” in the lower right corner and also can be dismissed.
Just noticed that the old forum’s resources have disappeared, and the links point to the ones ported to this forum; this way lots of useful comments are lost. Insert sarcastic remark against iX.
Yep, but opening one of the resources redirects to this forum… or to a Page Not Found. At least for the few I tried (ie the multi report and the ZFS Storage Pool).
It isn’t consistent, though; I posted links just today to two resources that worked as expected. Maybe it’s only for resources that have been migrated over here? No, I can go into my Nextcloud and Uncle Fester resources over there as well.
I think probably the intent is for those items which have been copied/moved here would redirect here as well. I am not sure about the one(s) that failed, but at least one link I tried did open on the old site.
So how ever this process is handled, it seems likely that some things are in flux before completed, which is why the broken links occur. However, this is the first I’ve heard about the redirection which would be fine IMHO if the items are copied/moved, the process completed.
I can confirm both that the resource its self links to the equivalent here but that the underling discussion thread still exists. If they were going to do anything to the old resources I would’ve preferred a link on top to view the version here rather than replacing them though.
Why can’t we upload txt files? For long log output this would be extremely useful! Seems very strange considering there’s seemingly no issue uploading sh files.
