riseuplabs / crabgrass-core Goto Github PK

We're a group of 30 people who have used crabgrass on we.riseup.net for the last 3, 4 years. Really great to see that development continues now!

One missing feature that has always bugged us all the time is that uploaded LibreOffice files (e.g. meeting meetings, strategic documents and others) are not included in the search.

I think the same goes for PDF files (where pdftotext might be used).

Is there any log when sending emails fails?
These are my settings:

# e.g. smtp
email:
  delivery_method: :smtp
  smtp_settings:
    domain: localhost
    address: smtp.1und1.de
    port: 587
    authentication: :plain
    user_name: [email protected]
    password: XXXXXX

The setting for smtp I have from my provider

EDIT: users get notifications but it still does not send any emails. Maybe I am missing some packages on debian? Or is it easier to configure a sendmail server and do it like that?

Hey!

So here is how to reproduce the bug :

• Create a group
• In Settings/Permissions, check "Make organisation publicly visible" and "Make members publicly visible" (we didn't check whether the bug still exists when not checking those)
• Go to Members and Send invites, and send an invite to an email address you control
• Visit the provided activation link in another browser (I used chromium --incognito)
• Click "Create account" and fill up the form (I didn't provide an email address)
• When submitting the form, I got forwarded to this page, which seems really really weird!!!
• After submitting, the validation code is lost, so I have to click again on the provided link I got by email and there it works

Thanks!

Hello.. I am trying to install crabgrass on a debian machine and it just throws an error. I don't know if this error is with bundler or with the crabgrass gemfile.

I ran the command /usr/local/bin/bundler install and I expected Bundler to install crabgrass

Instead, what actually happened was this error

I take this chance to say hello :).

When I receive a notification from Crabgrass sent via email, that email leaks some information about my activities on Crabgrass. I use GnuPG wherever I can to encrypt my email for privacy reasons, and this is a suggested best practice by RiseUp's own security guide. However, as far as I know, Crabgrass offers me no way to indicate to it that I would like any emails it sends to me to be encrypted in this way.

Implementing this feature would make me feel better about using the email notifications feature, particularly about using it to notify other collaborators without worrying that the notification will leak info about our organizing activities to the insecure world of email.

Thanks.

Also, for what it's worth, I'd be happy to work on this myself (I just recently wrote WP PGP Encrypted Emails, which is a plugin for WordPress blogs that implements this feature) but I am not a skilled Ruby (on Rails) programmer and might need some general pointers.

I've deleted a group in we.riseup.net, but I still see tasks from this group that is assigned to me in the page https://we.riseup.net/me/tasks.

During the last two years it was unclear to us, if crabgrass would be continued. So we were fearful of using a maybe discontinued software (deadend)... At the same time having all our group's files and documents on a "foreign" server (that might once be seized or shutdown) and no backup leaves us still a bit "unsettled"

Would be great if there was a way to backup all of a group's content easily. Just having everything in an zip-archive would be fine (simple html as it is seen in the browser), not really database dump. We already thought of crawling all our files using something like wget or ScrabBook, but we were afraid that these tools might hit the "Delete" links within crabgrass and therefore accidentically remove all our content.

Spawned from #236 (comment)

What is really needed is something more like WordPress's XWR format that exports the content but not the internal structure of a particular blog, so it is easy to move content from one instance of the WordPress software to another, independent of the underlying database.

Currently user are "trapped" to using crabgrass.

Adding organizations to networks, beyond the first one when the network is created, is either impossible or incredibly hard to find the option.

There's no help about groups at https://we.riseup.net/crabgrass/groups except an outdated screenshot of the groups page, and all comments are more than 3 years old.

This is a follow-up from #384.

For various "supported" files the thumbnail generation often fails. Here is an example file generated using simple-scan (the Ubuntu default scan program): https://seacloud.cc/f/d4fbcb9078/ The PDF is actually fine (interestingly, I also cannot upload this PDF here at github, too. OTHO, thumbnail generation works at seacloud):

$ file just_a_test_scanned_pdf.pdf 
just_a_test_scanned_pdf.pdf: PDF document, version 1.3

But #384 nonetheless cannot created a thumbnail.

For OpenDocument it sometimes fails and sometimes works (I could maybe send you files privately)

Databases like sqlite or PostgreSQL do not support indices on partical column values, As index creation seems to be hard coded in the schema, setup of other Databases will fail, e.g.

SQLite3::SQLException: near "(": syntax error: CREATE INDEX subject_0_4_0 ON activities (subject_id,subject_type(4),access)

Is there a special reason why crabgrass needs indices on partial values only? Is that reason strong enoug to break compatibility with other databases?

I can Star a page, but there is no way to list my starred pages. I suggest add a filter item in the page listing and/or show starred pages at top. Thanks!

I've changed my image under Settings > Icon to another image (anyway, why is the profile image called "Icon"? (german)).

Afterwards all new pages and files I upload have the new image attached to them (good!). However, at the old files (that I upload before changing the image) there is still my old profile image (bad!)

This causes confusion as one might think that these are two different persons. (Actually, I just changed my profile image to a photo of mine because someone with the same first name joined our group... Now it's really a bit confusing, 2 people with similar name and 3 photos/icons ;-)

Maybe an reindexing of the user's files or similar should be done when changing the image.

While trying to deploy crabgrass I get the following:

There are various issues here, in order of priority:

1. Many users do not find how to open the file because the fallback thumbnail is way to small. I heard this from many people in our group: "I went to the page you sent me, but there was no file"
2. The thumbnail should have a title attribute, so that hovering with the mouse over it says something like "Click to open"
3. Thumbnail generation is frequently failing but this is another issue (#385).

Thumbnails itself are nice but not that important, having a tiny thumbnail so that people do not find the actual file is a real showstopper.

For context: We frequently upload OpenDocument, PDFs but also gnucash files.

Spawned from #236 (comment):

Main idea is to be able to export one's (group) dataset in order to import it into another crabgrass instance.

The ability to export one's dataset makes using the hosted Crabgrass instance much more approachable because it means that one's data is not forever in some format that is only meaningfully accessible if the remote service is available.

Further, I work in some environments where the absense of a local backup precludes the use of Crabgrass by policy. Adding this feature would help me make the case to certain groups to move to Crabgrass away from less safe and less philosophically aligned alternatives such as Gogle Docs.

TL;DR: Please implememt this feature regardless of commitments to keep we.riseup.net alive. It is an important data portability issue and software libre issue on its own merit. Thank you!

Sometimes I find myself wanting to move an attachment from one page to another. This usually occurs when the attachment (usually a work file such as an image or a PDF) is attached to a page by someone else, but during re-organization, I want to attach it to a different page.

Currently, I am forced to re-upload a new copy of the attached file; this isn't a huge burden but it seems sub-optimal. It also has the potential to cause confusion due to the inherent fragmentation, unless I also remove the attachment from the original page.

This is also distinct from the "File" option available in Crabgrass. I tend to see "File" pages as working documents that my group and I create ourselves, things we iterate over and over, want to keep versions of, and so on. Attachments, on the other hand, are often things we are given from individuals outside our own group, like reports, deliverables, and so on. These are things we should not change ourselves.

It would be great if Crabgrass allowed me to attach a single document to more than one Wiki page, for instance, or at least to be able to re-assign an uploaded attachment asset from one page to another.

I dont know if this is the right place to report this, as it might be specific for we.riseup.net, but anyhow: Please add this feature and make we.riseup.net more secure!

Hi!

I am not sure what is going on, but currently if you visit https://we.riseup.net/cgdev group, its summary (release notes) flashed and after replaced by mess of wiki diff, header and footer sections.

Its hard to describe, just take a look:

Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS x86_64
Google Chrome: Version 43.0.2357.125 (64-bit)

Clearing of browser cache does not help.

Hi I couldn't figure out how else to contact the ppl involved with this project... I'm a new Ruby developer and I'd like to help out with Crabgrass but I'm having issues getting it running locally. Also, I notice it's still running Rails 3. Is an upgrade to Rails 4 or 5 in the works? If anyone is willing to help me get this current version up and running so I can try to help with some Issues, or has any info on Crabgrass' upgrade status, I'd love for you to let me know here or email me at [email protected] so I can contribute. Thanks in advance!

Seems to me like a regression bug. Prior the 0.6 update when I entered a link like https://we.riseup.net/group+folder/some-document in a wiki then the link would extend to:
<a href="/group+folder/some-document">title of the document</a>

Now it does extend to just the URL (which is of course less meaningfull than the title):
<a href="https://we.riseup.net//group+folder/some-document">we.riseup.net//group+folder/some-document...</a>

I would like to have the old behaviour back 😭
