Probably something pretty similar to DiscourseConnect, which allows authentication to be handled completely off-site.

Yep, @Wulfheart is correct. Waterhole doesn't currently support any integration with Zapier or Trigger – though a JSON API is on the roadmap which would potentially make these possible.

For now, the recommended way would be to write some Laravel code to listen for a Stripe webhook and then add the Waterhole user to the desired group:
```
use Waterhole\Models\User;

$user = User::where('email', $email)->firstOrFail();
$user->groups()->attach(5);
```

2. Suggestion for the display format when showing replies
Toby Waterhole Founder Jun 4, 2023

Thanks for the suggestion @Subarist. In the next release, comments will have a stacked layout on small screens (the body and replies will be full-width beneath the avatar/username), making them much more readable.

2. Is there a public roadmap?
Toby Waterhole Founder Jun 4, 2023

Hey @Manuel, good question!

I don't currently have a well-defined roadmap to publish, except to say that the focus for the next few releases will be mostly on adding essential moderation features that Waterhole is missing (eg. pinned posts, soft-deletion, reporting, anti-spam), as well as integration features (like a JSON API).

The roadmap beyond that is a work-in-progress that will be influenced by public demand and client requests. Hopefully at some stage I will be able to publish a more concrete roadmap.

Feel free to add your most desired features to the Ideas channel so they can receive votes from others, and we can discuss exact implementations etc.

Thanks for these reports @Subarist, they will be fixed in the next release. In the future, it would be a great help if you could post bug reports to the GitHub issue tracker

Hi @Adeala Ademola, have you tried all of the steps in the Troubleshooting documentation? When posting in the Support channel, please include as much information as possible, including any relevant information in the logs, and detail what debugging steps you have tried (eg. clearing the cache).

2. Only English Interface Displayed When Not Logged In, Despite Different Language Settings

In reply to Subarist
Can we specify a default language?

In most cases you shouldn't need to, since Waterhole defaults to the closest matching preferred language to the Accept-Language header sent by the browser. If there's no good match, it will default to the first locale defined in Extend\Locales (English). If you needed to change this you could remove the English locale:
```
Extend\Locales::remove('en');
```

Thanks for the feedback @René! You're right – I've adjusted the default theme slightly in 0.2. May make further adjustments in the future, though probably won't take it all the way down to 70 characters.

Couple things you can tweak with custom CSS:
```
.container {
    max-width: 72rem;
}

/* and/or */

:root {
  --measure: 92ch;
}
```

2. Only English Interface Displayed When Not Logged In, Despite Different Language Settings
Toby Waterhole Founder May 30, 2023
I'm not sure I quite understand the problem, so I'll just explain how the language system works.

In order to become available, languages must be registered using the Locales extender. For example, in WaterholeServiceProvider, you would add:
```
Extend\Locales::add('Traditional Chinese', 'zh-Hant');
```
Waterhole uses the following algorithm to determine which language to use:
1. If the user has selected a language, use that. (If they are logged in, it's stored in their preferences; otherwise it's stored in the session.)
2. Otherwise, use the closest matching preferred language from the Accept-Language header sent by the browser.
The app.locale setting is not actually used for Waterhole requests.

You should keep app.fallback_locale set to en so that any strings that don't have a zh translation will fall back to English instead of printing out the translation key.

I've made a change in 0.2 that should fix this. The posts with invalid XML just won't display an excerpt.

Yeah, this is strange – I've been trying to repro on your actual account using the impersonation feature, but it works fine (see your updated avatar).

I'm at a bit of a loss here... are you running any browser extensions that might interfere? Can you try with JavaScript disabled?

Regarding the broken image in the email notification, that should be fixed. Please let me know if it happens again.

@Adeala Ademola You've just posted an nginx config and an Apache config. Which webserver are you using? I'm not confident I'll be able to help you since this seems like a server configuration issue rather than an issue with Waterhole itself.

Edit: Just thought of something that might help. Try running php artisan waterhole:cache:clear

Migrations can be so painful! Nice job working through the issues here @Subarist.

It would be quite trivial to write an extension to enable BBCode on Waterhole - it uses the same formatting library under the hood as Flarum.

Can't reproduce on Brave either What kind of image are you uploading? How big? Do any of the other text fields get saved?
