I am setting up embedding of a Discourse forum and I am having trouble understanding how to make it work. I’m not able to create topics by RSS at this stage so I need to do the creation manually. My question is how does Discourse tie a topic to the page on the remote site? (For my use case it wou…

here’s the page you want to look at: [imagem] Embed Discourse comments on another website via Javascript Integrations Discourse has the ability to embed the comments from a topic in a remote site using a Javascript API that creates an IFRAME. For an example of…

OK, I have reread that post and it says this If your site does not have an XML feed, Discourse will create topics based on your page contents using a readability algorithm. It’s remarkably accurate for those cases when your site doesn’t have a feed. I cannot see how this works from the post end …

The code you embed tells discourse there’s a new post to embed. For example on eviltrout.com : var discourseUrl = "http://fishtank.eviltrout.com/", discourseEmbedUrl = "http://eviltrout.com/2014/12/22/watch-ember-tv.html"; (function() { var d = document.createElement('script'); d.type = 'text/…

Ah right, the penny has dropped now. Also, I did not have a embed by username set, so I presume the system could not create the post. I can easily control the URL used - I have a field in the database called initial_url which is the url that existed when the item was created (this is for Google An…

I’d be interested in the details of the “readability algorithm”. It looks like the title being pulled for the topic is from the meta title field - in our case its better to pull from the h1 tag. Also, not sure how its pulling the content for the topic… as of now its not pulling the correct details w…

It’s a bit of a hacked up ruby gem, not 100% the same as that

Does it have any logic to apply weights to an H1 tag so that it would win out and become the topic title (like a specific ID or class)? From the original Readability code here http://arc90labs-readability.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/js/readability.js I saw that if the meta title is < 10 or > 150 charac…

We have settings for selectors I even made commits to the gem to support that [imagem] Commits · cantino/ruby-readability Port of arc90's readability project to Ruby. Contribute to cantino/ruby-readability development by creating an account on GitHub.

Thanks, I missed that. I applied the blacklist selector to the title element, just as a test to see if I could get it to pull the H1 as the title. Didn’t work - didn’t event create the topic (not surprised… I wouldn’t normally add a class to a title). My workaround for the title is this: discours…
