Title disappears when user sets it

[Yu_Gong1 (Yu Gong)]

Hi,

This issue still remains Will there be a fix coming for this? Trust level 3 user title disappearing

[gerhard (Gerhard Schlager)]

It should be fixed since January. What are the steps to reproduce the issue? It works when I do the following:

• Set a default locale other than English (German in my case)
• Promote a user to TL3
• Login as that TL3 user
• Go to the user preferences (/my/preferences/account)
• Change the title and click Save
• Reload the page

The selected title is still visible.

hey, I was redirected from this topic:

Badge-related titles disappear every day

Yes, there is a related bug report here: Title disappears when user sets it. One of our engineers has been assigned to look into the issue, so there should be more information about the problem soon.

I still have this issue and from my observation this happens to all other badge related titles when date changes, while I’m not 100% sure about it.
A user report this issue to me and here’s what I tested yesterday:

1. Set a default locale (English in my case but I got issue report from user in China/Language: Chinese)
2. Set a badge as title (I set title for 2 users)
3. The title shows though the day but today when I check both title disappeared.

Is there a way to verify that it’s related to date change other than changing pc timezone setting? I tried this but it does not work (title did not disappear) .

I appreciate any suggestions, thanks

i also got this report from a user. i could not reproduce it using my old way, that acctually is fixed ,but somehow the user managed to get its title removed :S

The user sed he will try to figure out the logic how he managed to do it.

@HeyRR @gerhard OK THIS IS RANDOM It seems that the title gets removed always 20:00 meaning 8:00 PM at the evening Finland local time. GMT +3 .

Something happens at that time? Some Cron job?

[gerhard (Gerhard Schlager)]

Thanks to @HeyRR’s description I’ve identified the issue. It’s the BadgeGrant background job which doesn’t handle localized badge names.

https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/10483

I’m going to merge that tomorrow.

[HeyRR]

Thanks, I can see the badge is still there after rerunning the BadgeGrant job.

However, it seems there’s another issue related to this BadgeGrant job. I used to manually bulk assign some badges(eg. give out first like or receive first like) to users who cannot get it automatically because such like is given or received in restricted category.

Badges not being granted for restricted categories

I have a strange behavior on my forum. Basic badges (such as first like, first emoji etc.) that should be grated to users are not granted. Only admin users are granted these badges, while normal users are not. So for example, I can login as a normal user, and like as many posts as I want, and use as many emoji’s as I like, but I still won’t see the “First Like” and “First Emoji” badges. Thing is, there are certain early users that successfully got these badges. But recently all new users won…

but when the BadgeGrant job was triggered, all users who get such badge from manually bulk assign will lose it.

My Tests:

1. Manually assign a default badge which a user cannot get it automatically due to restricted category issue but he/she meets the requirement. Badge will be removed after running BadgeGrant.

2. Create a customized badge with some SQL, e.g. grant this badge when user post new topic in a specific category. Manually assign this badge which a user cannot get it automatically due to restricted category issue but he/she meets the requirement. Badge will be removed after running BadgeGrant.

3. Create a customized badge, no SQL. Manually assign this badge which a user cannot get it automatically due to restricted category issue but he/she meets the requirement. Badge stays after running BadgeGrant.

I guess this is the correct behavior as all those manually granted users does not meet the SQL query and hence will be kicked out from candidate group. But if that’s the case then most discussion in below topic will make much less sense for forums which has very active restricted categories. Also, to my understand, short-term solution becomes impossible.

Some common badge queries idea

Here are some common badge queries which you can use to create your own awesome badge! Grant a badge if user has created at least one topic in the “foo” category SELECT p.user_id, min(p.created_at) granted_at, MIN(p.id) post_id FROM badge_posts p JOIN topics t ON t.id = p.topic_id WHERE category_id = ( SELECT id FROM categories WHERE name ilike 'foo' ) AND p.post_number = 1 GROUP BY p.user_id Grant a badge if user has created 5 topics in the “foo” category SELECT p.user_id, min(p.created_a…

Any suggestion here? I can simply stop doing that but just curious if there’s a way to deal with it.

You can stop this by turning off the “Run revocation query daily” setting, but you may not be able to do that for built-in badges.

Is this deployed to all services? We are still seeing this issue. https://keskustelut.inderes.fi/

EDIT: Oh i guess master is not automatically deployed to all discourse hosted services i guess. When it is supposed to be released?

[gerhard (Gerhard Schlager)]

Thanks for the reminder. I’m going to make sure your site gets deployed on Monday.

[gerhard (Gerhard Schlager)]

@Yu_Gong1 Your site has been deployed today.

@HeyRR Feel free to create a #feature topic for a site setting to allow badges in private categories.
