始终匿名类别插件

I had a request from a co-worker to find a way to offer “anonymous Q&A” to our division’s employees. At first blush, Discourse seemed like the wrong tool for the job: anonymous posting seemed anathema to the whole point of fostering open, friendly, but lively discussions. Discourse does have built-in support for anonymous posting, but it’s a global setting. What we needed was a way to restrict anonymous posting to a single category (or a select subset of them). Even better, make anonymous posting automatic, so that users don’t have to think about it (and can’t get it wrong).

Thus was born discourse-anonymous-categories.

This plugin lets you choose individual categories for “always-anonymous” behavior, where all posts and replies automatically use the anonymous pseudonym for the user instead of their actual identity. The user doesn’t have to opt-in, and more importantly, doesn’t need to remember to opt-out when they are done posting.

Here’s what that looks like:

After the plugin is installed, turn on the global setting to enable “always-anonymous” categories:

Then, pick a category (or create a new one) for which you want “always-anonymous” behavior, and turn on the “Force posts to be anonymous in this cateory” setting:

anon-cat-cat-setting.png1260×1059 121 KB
Now, when anyone posts (note that current user is “E”):

anon-cat-new-topic.png1260×1059 121 KB
They will actually get anonymized:

anon-cat-new-topic-warning.png1260×1059 94.7 KB
… like this (note that post is as “anonymous”/“A”):

anon-cat-new-topic-list.png1260×1059 96.4 KB

anon-cat-new-topic-detail.png1260×1059 122 KB

This plays very nicely with recent versions of discourse-feature-voting, which can be used to anonymously vote on topics. (The votes themselves aren’t anonymous, but the identities of the voters are not currently surfaced through the UI, unlike “Likes”.)

and whether non-registered users to post messages in this category?

tophee · 2018 年4 月 4 日 10:44

Is this plugin still working (it hasn’t been updated since two years)?

Daniel_Lopes · 2018 年4 月 10 日 23:53

Somehow I’m having a hard time making it work on my local environment. I’m gonna do some digging and share back here.

Daniel_Lopes · 2018 年4 月 11 日 00:14

Yes, it still works. I had to delete my tmp folder in order to make it work but I think this is a problem with my local dev installation only (not using docker).

JaredReisinger · 2018 年5 月 7 日 18:08

Sadly, the purpose for which this was created no longer exists, so I haven’t given the plugin any love for the last several years. If anyone wants to take over maintenance, I’d be happy to let them!

I have a use for this plugin. How do I get it ‘looked after again’? Non-tech person asking, I’m on Communiteq (formerly DiscourseHosting). @michaeld @RGJ

fefrei · 2018 年5 月 22 日 14:34

Do you have a budget for this? If so, posting in marketplace is most likely the best approach

RGJ · 2018 年5 月 23 日 13:50

Are you sure that the plugin is not working correctly anymore?

When I read the posts above it just says it needs a new maintainer but Daniel says “Yes, it still works”

julz · 2018 年5 月 23 日 23:27

Yes, I agree the post says it needs a new maintainer. I guess that’s what I’m wondering if someone would do. Is that something that comes with my Pro hosting package?

adopilot · 2018 年5 月 25 日 14:51

I am runing it on v2.0.0.beta10 +111 and looks like it is working.
I do not have some issues whit my instace

puchal · 2019 年6 月 28 日 13:26

仅供参考 - Docker 版本 2.4：向标记为匿名的分类发布时，添加插件会生成 500 服务器错误。

sam · 2019 年6 月 30 日 23:57

@JaredReisinger 已将此移至 #plugin:broken-plugin，等待您调查。我在 2.4 版本中重写了匿名账户的处理方式，因此可能是这导致了插件故障。

RGJ · 2019 年7 月 24 日 06:52

如上所述，我和 @michaeld 很乐意接手该插件的维护工作。

puchal · 2019 年8 月 10 日 03:01

您能预估一下修复时间吗？

RGJ · 2019 年8 月 10 日 05:35

可能是在九月左右……

Daniel_Lopes · 2019 年8 月 15 日 20:24

@sam 说得对，针对匿名用户的最新工作破坏了该插件。我正在调查这个问题，因为我的公司的一款产品需要它。

我在产品中遇到的错误是：

NoMethodError (undefined method `create_shadow' for AnonymousShadowCreator:Class) /var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-anonymous-categories/plugin.rb:76:in `block (2 levels) in activate!'

错误来自这一行：

github.com/JaredReisinger/discourse-anonymous-categories

plugin.rb

master


      
          shadow = nil
          if (shadow_id = user.custom_fields["shadow_id"].to_i) > 0
            shadow = User.find_by(id: shadow_id)
          
            if shadow && shadow.post_count > 0 &&
                shadow.last_posted_at < SiteSetting.anonymous_account_duration_minutes.minutes.ago
              shadow = nil
            end
          end
          
          anon_user = shadow || AnonymousShadowCreator.create_shadow(user)
          
          # The client-side UI seems to get upset if the returned post was made by
          # "another" user, and will refuse to clear the field.  Instead, we act as
          # though this is a queued post, and that's enough to reset the UI.  It also
          # happens to give us an opportunity to point out that the post has been
          # automatically anonymized!  (See NewPostManager.perform_create_post for the
          # logic we're replicating here.)
          result = NewPostResult.new(:enqueued)
          creator = PostCreator.new(anon_user, args)
          post = creator.create

我会尝试修复它，并很快在这里发布更新。

Daniel_Lopes · 2019 年8 月 15 日 23:40

这是我快速的修复方案：Updating plugin to work with Discourse v2.4.0.beta2 · danielvlopes/discourse-anonymous-categories@08dda70 · GitHub

我认为现在 Discourse 对匿名用户的支持更好了，我也可以移除用户自定义字段（user custom_fields）相关的部分，但目前我会先保持这个改动简单。

sam · 2019 年8 月 21 日 04:05

@JaredReisinger 您还在维护这个插件吗？如果不是的话，也许 @Daniel_Lopes 可以在此处将其设为 OP 以指向该分支，这样我们就可以将这个问题从 #plugin:broken-plugin 中解决掉。

puchal · 2019 年10 月 12 日 03:47

对不起，我知道我不是专家，无法让它工作……能否请您写几句说明？谢谢。
