1455348 - Add Discourse field to Profile page

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Profiles, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Janet Swisher]

What feature should be changed? Please provide the URL of the feature if possible.
==================================================================================
On MDN profile pages (e.g., https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/profiles/jswisher) there are fields for links to the user's profile on other systems, but not Discourse, which is now one of our two main public communication channels

What problems would this solve?
===============================
Newcomers may be unaware of Discourse as a communication channel for MDN. Having this field in the profile could spur them to explore it. 

Core contributors have from time to time expressed a wish to have a way to communicate with other contributors, without disclosing their email address. Private messages in Discourse could fill that need without having to implement a messaging system directly on MDN.

Who would use this?
===================
Volunteers, partners, and staff

What would users see?
=====================
A field in the View Profile and Edit Profile pages, similar to the existing ones for social network links.

What would users do? What would happen as a result?
===================================================
Users could optionally fill in this field if they have a Discourse profile. Users could find the Discourse profiles of other users and communicate with them.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================

Could be a good mentored bug.

This could be a contributor task, but we're avoiding database changes until we've updated to Django 1.11.

I have made all the required changes but while running ./manage.py migrate I get this error https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9091064 I installed django using pip install Django but then I get the error djdatabase_url module not found when I fix that I get another error that some other module is not fixed and it is not resolving.... What should I do?

fauxwizard: The pastebin has expired. Can you regenerate the error? Bugzilla attachments do not expire.

It is difficult to install Kuma on your host machine, and we don't support it. Instead, we provide a Docker configuration for local development.
