I suppose the answer is “blast the API with thousands of requests” but I was hoping there is something smarter. Scenario: we built a community site for a large Co-Op. There are 15k+ members, probably 95% of them will never open a user and 4% more will create a user but never use it. Creating a sin…

you know what, I don’t want to start bothering anyone to teach me RoR over a forum thing. I see that adding a 1 second delay between API calls I don’t get a speed ticket, so this first run will just be a slow run. The API key was created for the “system” user, so all invitations are not showing up …

If you think that your storing addresses in Discourse is more dangerous than wherever else you’re storing them is a privacy concern, you’ll need to create them. If you don’t like the API, you could do it from rails: i=Invite.generate(user, skip_email: true, max_redemptions_allowed: 1) Gives you a…

That’s what I thought, still need to iterate in a loop :slight_smile: ok, thanks!

ok, I was really naiive. I made the curl line, and thought I’d just run in 16k times, but after a minute I got rate limited by my own discourse :slight_smile: :man_facepalming: so, as a rails newbie, I need to open a shell in the discourse container, enter irb and do what actually?

That would have been my go-to, naturally, only I don’t have the list of emails in advance. This is a site for a credit union, so the management can’t just hand me over a list 15,500 emails and risk a privacy disaster (and I don’t want to take the risk on myself). so I have to create 16,000 links wit…

I’m also guessing there’s no SSO auth that could be used. In that case what @pfaffman suggested is the way to go. Something like user = User.find_by(username: 'system') 16000.times do i = Invite.generate(user, skip_email: true, max_redemptions_allowed: 1) puts "/invites/#{i.invite_key}" # w…

[image] Ira Abramov: I’ll now set on a quest to see the state of the total invitations on the server without having to log in as “system”, if that is even possible. It’s pretty easy to login as system, if you’re an marked as a “developer” (emails provided when building the forum as default ad…

[image] Firepup Sixfifty: select Admin, scroll all the way down, and click Impersonate. oh duh… I just never scrolled that low :slight_smile: very cool. I have used Discourse as a user on different sites for years, I just missed a few basic nuances as a manager of one…
