I did some search here and found this thread:

https://community.nodebb.org/topic/12751/topic-voting-like-adult-swim-boards-had/6

I get the gist of it, but how do I get the post total of the first post? That way, when users upvote / downvote the topic, it upvotes / downvotes the first post?

Thanks!

I have been using Solr for 6 years. I have to say the results it provides are terrible. Of course this is not a problem of nodebb. I would say its a problem of Solr. Our website uses Chinese, so right now Solr is our only solution. However, it is terrible.

Some users just dont use it at all, they search something by Google like:

keyword site:mywebsite.com

The results are very good. Much better than Solr.

I am wondering if there is a change to have a better solution...

As part of the NodeBB v2 launch and development work towards v3 and onward, we're collecting feedback on what users like or don't like about our standard "Persona" theme, with an eye toward either redesigning this theme, or possibly creating a new theme (or themes) in the future.

Respond to our survey, and you'll have a chance be entered in a draw for a NodeBB t-shirt. (You'll also receive our undying thanks, which of course is priceless! 😆)

It should take 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how much feedback you have.

Thank you!

I have been using the REST API to write a tool to import data, and have had good success up to the point where I want to upload images to a post, or just upload images in general. I have tried both the /api/admin/upload/file and the /api/post/upload endpoints, but no matter what combination of headers I seem to try, I am getting the following errors on the server:

2022-08-15T12:35:47.558Z [4567/165] - error: POST /api/admin/upload/file?_uid=1 invalid csrf token ... 2022-08-15T12:38:16.394Z [4567/165] - error: POST /api/post/upload?_uid=1 invalid csrf token

I am using the Python Requests library to access the REST API, and my logic is as follows:

Create a Requests session Attach the generated Bearer token to the session Access the /api/config endpoint to retrieve the csrf_token Attach retrieved csrf_token to the session header for key x-csrf-token Post to the /api/admin/upload/file?_uid=1 endpoint, setting the files[] param to a Python file pointer

The attempts to post to the /api/post/upload are similar, but I am also attaching a cid to the post data for a valid category. Either way, I get the same 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url ... error in the response, and the invalid csrf token on the server.

This is what a raw request (output from Python Requests with debugging turned on) looks like when I debug the POST:

send: b'POST /api/post/upload?_uid=1 HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost:4567\r\nUser-Agent: python-requests/2.28.1\r\nAccept-Encoding: gzip, deflate\r\nAccept: */*\r\nConnection: keep-alive\r\nAuthorization: Bearer 8bab7c95-da3c-44a7-926c-750158b7f6eb\r\nx-csrf-token: crGjXcZT-unxVCdPwBPmIEoFMgGCvyhGuI44\r\nCookie: express.sid=s%3AXhIQf0bWxYFViKKID5OqOobbG5dRAx7W.sgxJnGcULUbcQZnEZJfeFMMK%2FDiX0m8RIEYkAR%2BKgzQ\r\nContent-Length: 254\r\nContent-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=aef166f35592d3b4beed61b08ccdf152\r\n\r\n' send: b'--aef166f35592d3b4beed61b08ccdf152\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="cid"\r\n\r\n12\r\n--aef166f35592d3b4beed61b08ccdf152\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="files[]"; filename="1659448063198-foo.txt"\r\n\r\ntest me\n\r\n--aef166f35592d3b4beed61b08ccdf152--\r\n' reply: 'HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden\r\n' header: Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin header: Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy: same-origin header: X-DNS-Prefetch-Control: off header: Expect-CT: max-age=0 header: X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN header: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=15552000; includeSubDomains header: X-Download-Options: noopen header: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff header: Origin-Agent-Cluster: ?1 header: X-Permitted-Cross-Domain-Policies: none header: Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin header: X-XSS-Protection: 0 header: X-Powered-By: NodeBB header: Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' header: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 header: Content-Length: 9 header: ETag: W/"9-PatfYBLj4Um1qTm5zrukoLhNyPU" header: Set-Cookie: express.sid=s%3AXhIQf0bWxYFViKKID5OqOobbG5dRAx7W.sgxJnGcULUbcQZnEZJfeFMMK%2FDiX0m8RIEYkAR%2BKgzQ; Path=/; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax header: Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2022 12:41:43 GMT header: Connection: keep-alive header: Keep-Alive: timeout=5

I have replicated the process in the browser with the Dev Tools open, to see what headers I might be missing, but other than a session ID, I am not seeing the difference, but it is clearly working through the web application. I also tried to step through the tests for uploading an image to see if I was missing something, and other than the cookies not completely matching, nothing jumped out at me there.

Any help here is appreciated, as it seems this is last piece I need working for my import process.

Hi all

I have see this plugin: nodebb-plugin-ws-dice

https://github.com/Wieloswiat/nodebb-plugin-ws-dice/blob/master/static/lib/main.js

It's a dice game but only works in posts and topics.

I would like this plugin to work in the chat because I find it strange to play this game in a topic.

I wanted the same in chats with the result, for example: /roll 4d6

... in a simple chat text feedback.

If any kind soul would like to help me do this, I would be eternally grateful.

I'm trying to use NodeBB as a headless forum (i.e. just a REST API with a separate front end) but keep getting an "invalid csrf token" error when I try to authenticate.

I've confirmed I can authenticate via the NodeBB UI on the same instance.

I've also tried getting the NodeBB config and using the csrf token from there in my requests but it still does not work.

My frontend is a NextJS app that rewrites all /api/:path* requests to http://<MY-NODE-BB-INSTANCE>/api/:path*. It also rewrites the auth paths.

I can see the requests reach NodeBB but always get "invalid csrf token".

I've verified that I can successfully call GET endpoints from my app, e.g. I can get the user list from /api/users.

Hi,

I installed Tenor GIF Plugin and created an API Key for use.

However I get this when I type in any word. Any ideas @julian ? Anyone? Thanks in advance.

Re: Question and Answer Plugin - Permissions

I get no answer but today I discovered that should be possibile what I'm asking just how?

I discovered on the Vivaldi forum user cannot set a question as answered.
How I can do the same?

I have installed the nodebb-plugin-question-and-answer and I want allow only moderator to set answers.

How to do this? I need install a different plugin?
I don't know what plugin use Vivaldi forum, looks same but with different graphics and seems allow they to allow only mod to select a best answer.

Thanks, hope to get a reply this time 🙂

New theme for nodebb community

ᑎᗝᗪᗴᗷᗷ 丅ᕼᗴᗰᗴ ᗴ᙭ᗝᗪᑌᔕ

https://github.com/exo-do/nodebb-theme-exodus

npm install nodebb-theme-exodus

alt text

Why exodus? Because i like a more classic layout with real responsive r , stylized buttons and different layouts on mobile and desktop.
I have introduced more than a thousand lines of new css code adjustments only for this theme and of course it is a fork a persona so all plugins will work the same way.

Development:
We first developed theme-exodo for our community based on vanilla, but we changed a lot of templates and we ended up with a theme that was too difficult to update and we have been many months on v0.7.x because of that
Now Exodus is the next step, it has all persona templates only the way of display post is a little different, i used flex box to keep post size minimum if needed and its show in a different way user info while reading topics.
It also has mobile improvements on topic list and we keeper a guild container with different media queries fixes for different layouts while keeping theme as light as possible
So now we hope theme-exodus will be easy upgradeable on upcoming core and persona changes.

On the way
Some new things will be available soon
like be able to show a panel with recent topics list while reading a topic
New pagination with sliders on mobile
More css fixes
etc

Optional Plugin Additions:
Following the plugin system we did our new homepage on a separate plugin so it can be used or not with the new theme.
All are published on npm and will be updated when needed

Homepage exodo

https://github.com/exo-do/nodebb-plugin-homepage-exodo
Its based on custom homepage so any user will be able to use the homepage or select another one like recent, categories etc on his profile
It will show recent template on a side and a sidebar with categories tiles and user block bellow
You can add some widgets on the homepage too

npm install nodebb-plugin-homepage-exodo Highlights

https://github.com/exo-do/nodebb-plugin-highlights
it will add a line to show who opened the topic or if someone of your friends write on it

npm install nodebb-plugin-highlights Ignore users

https://github.com/exo-do/nodebb-plugin-ignore-users
Fully compatible on hiding ignored users post

npm install nodebb-plugin-ignore-users Custom Exodo

https://github.com/exo-do/nodebb-plugin-custom-exodo
this was an ambitious plugin that we had on the past and it is now rebuilt for this theme
Will give you the ability to select near every color of the theme and personalize even fonts and backgrounds
it is still on development (still only in spanish) but it works nice, it will save the customization on db and or local storage so it is very fast and won't have any delay like other customization options
It also has some presets, light and night mode if you are lazy to select colors your own

npm install nodebb-plugin-custom-exodo

There is more on the way.
We like to build things for nodebb but we currently only 2 person so any PR (internationalizations 😰 ) and help on github , (also issues reports) will be appreciated

Finally

Live Demo: https://exo.do

Screens on next post

Compatibility: 1.3.0

Around a month ago I did upgrade NodeBB (not sure from which version, to 2.4 or 2.2) and also Node (from 16 I think to v18.7.0), and after that I'm getting this error:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'split')

This is what I see in web browser.
This is what I get in nginx's error log:

2022/08/14 15:57:08 [error] 674481#674481: *77854 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream, client: MY_IP, server: pythonforum.ir, request: "GET /post/1881 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/post/1881", host: "pythonforum.ir" 2022/08/14 15:57:09 [error] 674481#674481: *77854 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: MY_IP, server: pythonforum.ir, request: "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/favicon.ico", host: "pythonforum.ir", referrer: "https://pythonforum.ir/post/1881"

Do you help me what is wrong with it? I tried many thing, like using old backup for both database and files but it did not help me.

Hello Nodebb community,

I am upgrading to V2 and one of the very first issues I am facing now is debugging of webpacked project. Is there an instruction for noob like me on how to set up my dev environment in more organized manner either in VS Code or Chrome devTools?

I used to add my plugin folders as a workspace in Chrome devTools and automatic binding would allow me to debug the source files:
old.PNG

Sadly I am unable to do the same in V2 due to webpack source mapping not playing nice with Chrome. All I have came up with so far is enabling source-mapping by adding the following to webpack.xxx.js:

devtool: 'source-map'

This allows me to open inspection view of the source-mapped Nodebb project in Chrome devTools and view the scripts-client.js for debugging.
new.PNG

It is not as intuitive and simple as before so I am seeking you assistance.

Thank you all in advance for your guidance.

I deleted an user clicking "Delete Account". Then the user still there. When I go to the user profile and click again "Delete Account", I get a message with "User does not exist".

How I can delete the account manually? Maybe with a mongod command? The user ID is 4076

Thanks

Trying to upgrade from 1.9.x to 2.4.0 but getting this.
I can't afford to break the forums so figured I should ask directly as this is too important to try things I find on the Internet.

I went back to the backup for now. Here is what shows then nothing more happens.

Hi Cagatay, Team Iframely here. You use our platform for rich media embeds. Our meters show that you've reached 1158 hits your current month. The "Developer" limit was 1000 hits, and our endpoints will start rejecting your requests tomorrow. Please upgrade to a paid plan to keep using Iframely: https://iframely.com/plans.

Do we have to pay extra for iframely, which is integrated with nodebb?

Upgraded to 2.4.0 just now...Shock horror I get an error haha.

My custom pages do not work anymore (/serverinfo)

Hi.
i'm trying to export user's post by this api: api/user/{userslug}/export/posts but i receive 404

You seem to have stumbled upon a page that does not exist. Return to the home page.

What's the problem ?

Tnx

Is there a way we can add additional fields to the category? For. Eg. I want to add a new field "CategoryType"

Is there an ignore user plugin which will not allow users to see posts, posts in quotes, and to not allow users to private chat if a user places someone on ignore? We have several users who do not seem to get along.

Currently running 2.0.1.
