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...
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 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. ...
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 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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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,...
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...
