Hi Team,
Could you please help me on accessing the community forum database? We had no idea about how to access it and need to know the top viewed topics.
סיכום מבוסס בינה מלאכותית
Bhagyashri asks for help accessing the community forum database to find top viewed topics. TallTrees directs her to the Data Explorer plugin, but Bhagyashri notes it requires a business plan upgrade. Pfaffman suggests using search tools to sort by views. Bhagyashri also inquires about updating the database. Itsbhanusharma explains that on the SaaS version, direct database access isn’t available, and self-hosting is required for such access. TallTrees adds that self-hosting allows installation of the Data Explorer plugin, which is often preferable to direct database access. Bhagyashri then asks what self-hosting means, and TallTrees explains it involves installing Discourse on a personal server with a domain and mail servers, providing a link to the installation guide TallTrees.
Is this what you are looking for?
I don’t believe so. You might also look at search tools that might let you sort by views.
thanks, that might help. But also want to know about the way to update the database if possible.
On the SaaS version of discourse, You don’t have access to the database or application server. All the updates are being managed by the discourse engineers. If you’d like to access (not recommended) the database directly yourself, You may consider self hosting.
If you self-host, you also have the option of installing the data explorer plugin, which in many cases is probably better than direct db access.
What is self hosting?
If you have an Internet facing host, a domain, mail servers and a whole lot of time, you can install Discourse and run it your own server: discourse/docs/INSTALL.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub
