Discourse Hosting Limits?

[awesomerobot (Kris)]

Official Discourse hosting only allows custom plugins on the Enterprise plan, and we have to assess the plugin code and determine whether or not a maintenance fee is required. Plugins can edit backend code, so we have to err on the side of caution when running anything custom on shared infrastructure.

We have a list of official plugins that are included on our hosting here: Plugin directory | Discourse - Civilized Discussion

Discourse Connect is included in all versions of Discourse by default, and if Lexicon uses our API that’s fine on our hosting as long as it’s not causing you to go over pageview limits or running into any API rate limits.

I am also wondering if it would be able to display some of the in-game stats or amount of tokens the user has in the game if I had a sign sign on (OAuth). (why I want to use this single sign on)

Yes, it’s possible. We have lots of customers that pass data from an external account via SSO into a custom field in Discourse. There’s some more detail in that topic:

Advanced Features

• You can pass through custom user fields by prefixing the field name with custom . For example custom.user_field_1 can be used to set the value of the UserCustomField that has the name user_field_1 .
• You can pass avatar_url to override user avatar ( SiteSetting.discourse_connect_overrides_avatar needs to be enabled). Avatars are cached so pass avatar_force_update=true to force them to update if the url is the same. Right now, you can’t pass an empty url to disable users’ avatar.
• By default the welcome message will be sent to all new users created through SSO. If you wish to suppress this you can pass suppress_welcome_message=true
