Comment Post #287809 The first time the description is generated (before caching) it shows up in the HTML as a string. If it's supposed to be serialised in the cache I'd expect the cache string to be longer (it only seems to have a few characters dedicated to the "value" section which seems an unrealistic compression rat...

Question Rails cache returning empty string
I'm trying to understand the root cause of a bug, HTML meta tag for description is not question specific. On any individual question page, instead of showing an excerpt of the question and top answer, the description found in the `` tag is the standard default back up description. For example, on ...

Comment Post #287795 In production it needs to be `https` for security, so that only the signed in user can save things in their own name. QPixel is already set up to detect when it is in development (for example, it displays ["This site is in development mode"](https://collab.codidact.org/uploads/ozglhtq1rs9zy30nbsi7...

Question "Confirm my account" link shows as https in development
As instructed in the "Create administrator account" section of the QPixel Installation guide I created a second new user through the user interface (clicking "Sign Up") in my local development instance of QPixel. I then visited `http://localhost:3000/letteropener` in order to see the registration ema...

Question Do seed posts need to be HTML rather than Markdown?
In QPixel, under `db/seeds/posts`, there are a number of HTML files which are starting points for various help guides and documents such as Terms of Service and Code of Conduct. These can be edited through the user interface (by admins), at which point they accept Markdown. I've tested one of them...

Answer A: Meta: Should Collab have Categories?
The front page is less cluttered without "Question" With Q&A containing both questions and wiki posts, every question is labelled "Question", like this: Current Q&A layout, with every question labelled as "Question" If Wiki were a separate Category then the questions in Q&A would not need the ...

Answer A: How to set up a new (development) instance of Codidact/QPixel
Installing QPixel on Fedora Linux using RVM without brew If you happen to be installing in this situation, a few things might have different names. Here are some of the differences I had to allow for. These work up to and including Fedora 40, but you may need a different approach for Redis from Fedo...

Comment Post #287688 Thanks for the double explanation. I found `QPixel.user()` previously but I noticed that the first time it is called it makes an AJAX request, which seems redundant if the user is not signed in. So the reason I asked this question is because I was wondering if functions like `QPixel.user()` and `QPix...

Question Checking if the user is signed in from front end code
When writing front end code for QPixel, is there a preferred way to check whether the user is signed in? The back end code has access to this information, and constructs the page accordingly. Some page elements are present or not based on whether the user is signed in. The front end code could ...

Question Meta: Should Collab have Categories?
When creating a new post in the Q&A Category, I'm asked whether I want to create a question or a wiki article. Are these both stored in the Q&A Category for historical reasons, perhaps due to predating the concept of Categories, or is there another reason for having only one Category on Codidact Coll...

Question Meta: Is there an argument for having Collab under codidact.com?
Does having Codidact Collab under `codidact.org` rather than under `codidact.com` with the other communities cause an additional administrative burden, for example when releasing code changes? Would there be benefits to having Collab under `codidact.com` with the others? Presumably there would ...
