View tag changes

[adrelanos]

Could you please add the ability (for moderators) to view tag changes?

Currently if any tag is changed anywhere there is no place to review these.

The closest similar thing is /admin/reports/post_edits but that does not show if any forum tags (/tags) where changed.

In case you wonder why this would be useful: I would like to use discourse as an issue tracker. It’s not ideal but sufficient for my use case. There’s been discussions on how to use discourse as a ticketing system and it seems possible in principle. Using it as a public issue tracker seems even simpler than a ticketing system. (Users require forum accounts to post. E-mail in is nice but not crucial.) In my case, only important thing to track is the status of the discussion and milestone (software version implementation goal). Using tags this is possible (tag status_closed) etc. But for example if a user or moderator by accident or trolling removes tag “milestone” then a “ticket” (actually forum discussion) could be lost from that view.

To learn about such topic tag change events, the ability to view tag changes would be super useful.

I don’t know if you’ve already checked this but there is a plugin made specifically to handle tickets

Tickets Plugin

Repo Summary This plugin adds a ticketing system to Discourse. It requires tagging to be enabled and works best alongside the Assign Plugin. It is based on @tobiaseigen’s original spec, and has been built in collaboration with @tobiaseigen and an awesome Ruby for Good team, for the benefit of both Namati and the Discourse community. Notes When you install the plugin, three new tag groups are added tickets_priority, tickets_reason and tickets_status. Add tags to these groups (at /tag_group…

I saw this. I will consider it. Actually, I am in process of reading all subjects on discourse for issue tracking / ticket system.

For the use case as simple as mine, I was wondering if it would be doable / more sensible without an external plugin.

I hope my “view tag changes” request is useful enough outside of ticketing. Also please consider trolling / spamming where user edits its own post to add tag to add some badword.

Reason is, I’ve seen plugins here come and go. For now it looks well up to date but I saw other plugin discussions where I was too late for the party. The plugin was deprecated for two years already. Then I would hope to not be “stranded”. Migrating away from such as tickets plugin to another issue tracker in two or five years from now would be require a ton of time.

The “fix” is to remove those users from the site.

There is also marketplace, so you can have a plugin supported/created.

أتيت إلى هنا أبحث عن هذا بنفسي. إذا استخدمنا Discourse كمتتبع للمشكلات (باستخدام المواضيع)، فسيكون من الجيد الحصول على قائمة بجميع تغييرات العلامات في الأيام ‘x’ الأخيرة لفئة/علامة معينة لرؤية نظرة عامة دورية أو لقطة للحالة الحالية.

Discourse Data Explorer يجب أن يجعل هذا الأمر سهلاً، وسأبلغ هنا إذا وجدت/أنشأت استعلام SQL.

ليس سهلاً على الإطلاق…

يخزن العمود modifications في post_revisions كائن Ruby متسلسل، لذلك لا يمكنك حتى استخدام دوال PG json لهذا الغرض.

يجب علينا بالفعل نقل هذا العمود إلى json.

بالتأكيد، ولكن بالنسبة لمشروع عام مفتوح المصدر (FLOSS) مع تسجيل مفتوح، بحلول الوقت الذي يتم فيه تنفيذ مضايقات العلامات، يكون الضرر قد حدث بالفعل. لذلك، ستكون هناك طريقة لعرض تغييرات العلامات والتراجع عن التخريب بسهولة.

@rishabh

Discourse Data Explorer should make this easy, and I’ll report here if I find/make an SQL query.

أي تحديث؟

مرحباً، لقد جئت إلى هنا أيضاً بحثاً عن طريقة لعرض تغييرات العلامات لموضوع معين.
سيكون هذا مفيداً جداً.
شكراً!
