DiscourseApi.php
================

[](#discourseapiphp)

This is really more of a learning experience -- working on a WordPress site for a friend and needed extensible hooks for Discourse.

I've only personally tested this on HHVM (5.6.99-hhvm) and PHP 5.6.8+.

Pull requests and feature additions are welcome, and this will be maintained for a decent amount of time as I've really taken a liking to Discourse and have been using it in a few projects.

At some point I'm going to namespace everything and separate things by user, group, sso, etc, but this will be on another branch/version to maintain backward compatibility.

Troubleshooting
---------------

[](#troubleshooting)

### End user IPs are that of the server (post content, registration, etc.)

[](#end-user-ips-are-that-of-the-server-post-content-registration-etc)

Enable realip/x-f-f on whatever is backing your instance. Check samples/ to persist this if you are directly running nginx from docker.

#### nginx

[](#nginx)

```
set_real_ip_from  192.168.5.150;
real_ip_header    X-Forwarded-For;

```

#### apache

[](#apache)

```
RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For
RemoteIPInternalProxy 192.168.5.150

```

### 403/404/Not allowed/etc

[](#403404not-allowedetc)

Your username must match your API key (generated from User's Profile -> Admin -> Generate Key). It's likely not possible to generate a key for the `system` account; it just throws a CSRF token error.

You'll probably want to make another (possibly admin) user account and generate a key, or if you're just going to post threads or replies, a normal account will do. The API is subject to the same rate limits as normal users, so you may want to manually set a trust level so they're allowed to post links or post more quickly if necessary.

### Guzzle is throwing HTTPS exceptions

[](#guzzle-is-throwing-https-exceptions)

You probably don't have a cert/CA/bundle for whatever certificate you are using.
