Labs not auto-generating Discourse threads

[neshoba78]

Seems at least the last 20 lab applications submitted did not auto-generate threads in the Labs forum in Discourse. Can/Should we manually sync?

This was a bug that was later fixed, but in order to solve the issue we need to change directly the database, we need to carefully plan for this in 2018.

Is my lab a victim of this? https://discuss.fablabs.io/c/labs does not have entry for IngegnoMakerSpace

I had mail 28/11 that our lab was approved, but still no link https://www.fablabs.io/labs/IngegnoMakerSpace up also.

@bmcage Nope, in your case there are two issues: a Referee rejected you, and #391. My suggestion is to do the application again

This happened for around 23 Labs, mainly because

• There was already a Lab with the same name... the user should wait before creating multiple applications. Error: {"action":"create_post","errors":["Title has already been used"]}
• The description of the Lab should be added to Discourse without links in it. Error: {"action":"create_post","errors":["Sorry, new users can only put 2 links in a post."]}
• There is only one link and it is Facebook (not sure about this, but it seems a common problem). Error: {"action":"create_post","errors":["Sorry you cannot post a link to that host."]}
• The same user created too many Labs too quickly. Error: {"errors":["You're creating topics too quickly. Please wait 2 seconds before trying again."],"error_type":"rate_limit"}

Strange Errors to be checked:

• {"errors":["You are not permitted to view the requested resource. The API username or key is invalid."],"error_type":"invalid_access"}
• {"errors":["You are not permitted to view the requested resource."],"error_type":"invalid_access"}

We should check these problems in the code, and maybe write a script that "manually" create the topics when they are missing..
