Discourse forums no longer allowing me to log in Topic is solved

[back2themoon]

Yes, thank you adoxa for your efforts and to everyone else who contributes.

@adoxa: could you please give details about the way to add the filter(s) you give in "code brackets" to Modify HTTP Response ?
I have only one previous filter, listed in the add-on page. If I disable (untick enable) it, the https://forum.italia.it/ site gives the browser unsupported message and I do not get the login button. If I enable it theb login button appears ... as it used to be until a few days ago, but seems inactive.

So I suppose I'd have either to add or replace (which?) my current filter with one or both (which?) of those in your posts 22 Jul 2023 10:08 and 18 Jul 2023 08:55.

If I have to replace with one of the two I can do it (delete then paste), but if I have to add multiple filters I do not know operationally how to proceed.

You need only replace it with this filter, which will: 1. disable the website lockout, 2. fix the login button, and 3. fix the buttons in the edit window.

[I­]f I have to add multiple filters I do not know operationally how to proceed.

As Tharthan indicates, as far as Discourse goes the newest filter supersedes all the earlier filters. If, however, you want to combine this filter with another one, the trick is to remove brackets:

Code: Select all

[[filter1]]]]
[[filter2]]]]

becomes

Code: Select all

[[filter1]]],[filter2]]]]

i.e. Remove the closing bracket of the existing filter, add a comma, and remove the opening bracket of the new filter.

Thanks to both. Works like a charm.

For me the last script don't work for https://community.openstreetmap.org/ but work eg. on https://discourse.psychopy.org/ . Any help? Thank you!

[adoxa]

Remove the \\. after community (it uses community-cdn).

[damjang]

Thank you, works ok!

Update to work with tarnkappe.info.

Code: Select all

[["/discourse|^discuss|^community|^forum\\.|cloudfront|resource\\.dopus\\.com|cdn\\.tarnkappe\\.info/",["/browser-detect-/",["/.*/g",""]],["/discourse-[0-9a-f]{4}/",["(.d-modal-legacy\"","(.d-modal-legacy)\"","document.execCommand(\"insertText\",!1,","this._textarea.setRangeText("]]]]

[adoxa]

Update to work with devtalk.blender.org. Might be better to work with all hosts...

Code: Select all

[["/discourse|^discuss|^community|^forum\\.|cloudfront|resource\\.dopus\\.com|cdn\\.tarnkappe\\.info|devtalk\\.blender\\.org/",["/browser-detect-/",["/.*/g",""]],["/discourse-[0-9a-f]{4}/",["(.d-modal-legacy\"","(.d-modal-legacy)\"","document.execCommand(\"insertText\",!1,","this._textarea.setRangeText("]]]]

Another website is giving me a problem with this:

https://support.nitrokey.com/

I am curious if anyone can tell me how to get this site working properly again.

[adoxa]

Update to work with any host, but using a more specific path.

Code: Select all

[["/^/",["/^\\/assets\\/browser-detect-/",["/.*/g",""]],["/^\\/assets\\/discourse-[0-9a-f]{4}/",["(.d-modal-legacy\"","(.d-modal-legacy)\"","document.execCommand(\"insertText\",!1,","this._textarea.setRangeText("]]]]

Alternatively, I think you could just block /assets/browser-detect-* (but you might still need the other fix for editing).

I actually haven't done this before, the basics of this, what are they? I am a bit confused.

[adoxa]

This might help.

[frostknight]

This might help.

Amazing, and this hasn't been updated since 2021. Yet it still worked, thanks!

I recommend someone keep watch on this addon in case it breaks tho.

[Tharthan]

Just a heads up. adoxa.

The second to last filter that you gave

Code: Select all

[["/discourse|^discuss|^community|^forum\\.|cloudfront|resource\\.dopus\\.com|cdn\\.tarnkappe\\.info|devtalk\\.blender\\.org/",["/browser-detect-/",["/.*/g",""]],["/discourse-[0-9a-f]{4}/",["(.d-modal-legacy\"","(.d-modal-legacy)\"","document.execCommand(\"insertText\",!1,","this._textarea.setRangeText("]]]]

works just fine for me.

However, the most recent one that you gave

Code: Select all

[["/^/",["/^\\/assets\\/browser-detect-/",["/.*/g",""]],["/^\\/assets\\/discourse-[0-9a-f]{4}/",["(.d-modal-legacy\"","(.d-modal-legacy)\"","document.execCommand(\"insertText\",!1,","this._textarea.setRangeText("]]]]

does not work for at least one of the major Discourse forums that I use. All of the previous filters have worked just fine with it. But this most recent one doesn't.

So just a heads up that that most recent one doesn't work for all Discourse forums.

Try removing ^\\/assets\\/.

[Tharthan]

Try removing ^\\/assets\\/.

Thank you. Doing that makes it work.

Code: Select all

[["/^/",["/browser-detect-/",["/.*/g",""]],["/^\\/assets\\/discourse-[0-9a-f]{4}/",["(.d-modal-legacy\"","(.d-modal-legacy)\"","document.execCommand(\"insertText\",!1,","this._textarea.setRangeText("]]]]

[Tharthan]

I do not know if others are having this issue that I encountered today, but now when trying to log in, while the login window pops up after clicking the "Log in" button, attempting to actually log in after inputting one's username and password fails because the second "log in" button (this is the one that has the image of the padlock next to it——within the username and password window) is unresponsive to both pressing the enter button, and also to attempting to click on it.

This issue wasn't present yesterday.

[adoxa]

PublicKeyCredential is not defined. Not sure of the best way to address that (it's not a specific file name), so atm enter PublicKeyCredential={} in the console, before clicking the first "Log in" button.
