Setup a hosted discourse instance and trying the Drupal Discourse Module: [Client Challenge](https://www.drupal.org/project/discourse)

Reading the Drupal module’s README says:

- Log into the Discourse instance as an admin and go to the site settings screen /admin/site\_settings  
Set force\_hostname to be the Drupal url and path in Discourse site settings.  
Eg [drupalsite.com/discourse](http://drupalsite.com/discourse) This will give correct links in emails sent by Discourse.
- Your forum should now be available at /discourse

“force\_hostname” doesn’t exist in my Discourse instance. Has this been deprecated?  
Also noticed the Drupal Module was tested with Discourse 1.2.0.beta5 and Discourse is on ver 1.4.  
Has anybody tried this module with newest Discourse? Does it work?
