QPixel's Docker documentation says that the Docker setup is intended for development environments, not production. The documentation calls out one specific issue: email doesn't work. Are there ot...
I would like to be able to work with qpixel in a development environment so I could (try to) fix small bugs and build and test locally. I don't have a developer setup now and my OS is apparently t...
I had to reinstall mysql on my Mac, and after some thrashing I was able to again connect to my Qpixel database from the command line. The data is as expected, so it appears that mysql itself is ok...
I am new to Ruby (and Rails) and have just (finally) succeeded in setting up qpixel on my Mac. I headed over to our easy GitHub issues looking for something to use to get started, and then realize...
I know this is buried in Discord somewhere, but for better findability: There is a seeds script (where?) that takes new help topics and propagates them to communities on a network. Where do those...
I followed the instructions to set up Docker on my developer machine and it works great. Sometimes, though, I run into problems after I've pulled updates or switched branches. I don't really unde...
As of this commit, there is a new environment variable, MAILER_PROTOCOL, that accepts values of http or https. The default is https, but you can set this to http in a development environment to av...
I was trying to fix what I thought was an easy bug: suggested edits can add restricted tags (the ones only moderators can apply), which creates a suggested edit that most reviewers can't approve. ...
Caching is really important for scaling. I know we cache some data -- something about tags (tags for a post?) has been discussed on meta, and I know the "new posts" silver dot (badge) is cached so...
This is a great idea, thank you! We've been kind of keeping it in piecemeal notes and in people's heads and stuff, and that is not a path of clarity and growth. I'm planning to work on putting to...
We have automated tests (good). Automated tests usually don't cover everything, so when there's a new version we want to test (say, on the dev server), I'd like to be able to prioritize things tha...
I saw this report about a bug in an error message and figured that would be an easy fix. The incorrect error message is: "Tags can't have more than 5 tags". That should be "Posts can't have...". ...
I believe there's no way to remove a category without direct database hackery. We didn't want to have a Meta category for Collab, but when I asked about nuking it people expressed concerns about c...
Did you run the database seeds? (rails db:seed) That should have set up initial post types, help topics, and probably some other stuff. (Edit: but it didn't work for me either, so...) If you wa...
In my dev environment I'm editing the flags in db/seeds/post_flag_types.yml. After editing I run rails db:seed, which adds my new flag. Fine so far. However, I had a typo in the name, so I edite...
As this answer says, db:seed isn't the right tool here. Short of dropping the entire database as suggested in that answer, you can delete individual flags in the database. From the mysql console,...
I don't know the correct way to do this, but I was looking at the commit that added donations, and I wonder, as a workaround until you get the correct answer (presumably from Art), it would work to...
I was thinking about taking a try at an issue that would add a new sub-page to the user profile. I understand that as part of this I need to add a "route" for the new URL and somehow wire that up ...
Not a complete answer (I'm not fluent in SSO), but the developer who implemented SSO created this wiki page about setup. We had failed to incorporate that into our installation doc -- now linked f...
Pages that are "in" a category show the category bar at the top, like this: An individual suggested edit should logically be "in" a category too, but isn't shown that way: I'm trying to figur...
