Do you not have npm installed? What version of node?

Recently we decided to switch to NodeBB from phpBB. We could successfully install nodeBB, however we are using Central Authentication Service (CAS) by Apereo and it is mandate to connect nodeBB with this. Are there any tutorials/ plugin links available for this? I came across https://github.com/SUSTC/nodebb-plugin-cas However there is no steps on how to connect CAS to nodeBB. Please suggest.

What logs are you looking at? Try loading a page while watching ./nodebb log. Also, try running ./nodebb build and restarting.

@PitaJ it seems I cant find the "edit profile" link anywhere on our forum (might be an issue with the theme/skin thats currently applied). I can access this manually however so that will do the trick. Thanks a lot. I'm not sure if I can mark it as solved myself but that has resolved my issue for the time being. Thank you

@MJ thx bro) very helpful. Now is ok.

I installed this plugin. and want this plugins to work with colors. [image: ClfnLQa.jpg] [image: z4mAyWH.png] Will be good if at this cards will be COLORS like at 2 screenshot. Or how to hide symbols at recent cards like this ~[ to be shown "Some example text" instead of "~[some example text]~" Or colors.. or hide this symbols. What i need to do?

This plugin does not workin at all. My system is - NodeBB 1.10.1 / mongodb Points does not show at page /points and i cant see it at profile. [image: 10p9P3V.png] I dont know why this dont workin and why here i see guest with 0 points. I created topics.. writed messages but i didnt get points. Tested version 4 - and at /points was all empty Now at version 5 of plugin i get this (at screenshot) and at profile no info. What i supposed to do? or plugin does not workin at 1.10.1 ? @Nicolas does plugin support 1.10.1 ?

Actually quite a nice system. Otherwise you would need to either check regularly if a ban has expired and thus probably do a lot of unnecessary checks, or you would need to predict when the next ban expiration will be and thus probably introduce a lot of bugs with the prediction code. What might be interesting is a feature request, to not show the flag if the expiration has happened. I assume the flag is stored with a timestamp for when the ban will expire. Thus it should be possible to filter it out when displayed. But actually remove it when the user logs in.

@Apollo what was the issue?

@Julian-H-Lam , what am I doing wrong here? Is this format correct?

@PitaJ thank you for looking into this. I did reset my phone settings, and the error is still there. Maybe its a glitch on the network. I'll retry tomorrow.

Hi all! I have one problem. How to delete FLAGS from database? Example - i flagged someone but want to delete flag (at profile to be 0 flags). Now if i report someone and report was wrong - at profile will be 1 flag.. this is bad and sad.

@Macrow-Willson said in Facebook sso - essentials: yeah, i tried that too, https://myurl.com:4567 renders the forum inaccessible since it doesn't return encrypted http, obviously. Not really obviously. The URL in your config.json should be the one you're using publicly. Thus whatever your Apache reverse proxy is configured for. The configuration is used to create the URLs on your site. It has no impact on the actual communication with your reverse proxy. My hunch is, you also need to remove that port. Because your Apache reverse proxy probably is providing your site over the standard HTTPS port. So it probably is just https://myurl.com. Also don't change anything about your reverse proxy configuration when you change this url parameter. Your reverse proxy still fetches the forum over HTTP at the port 4567. This has nothing to do with the url parameter.

i installed new themes (based at persona) and deleted it. And now at my theme list i see 2 persona themes instead of one. If i delete persona theme - remains only 1 persona theme at theme list BUT i cant activate it. I tried to see folders at node_modules and i dont see any persona theme. When i copy persona theme from my PC into node_modules - FTP send me alert that some files in nodebb-theme-persona exists (rewrite it?) But this folder DOES NOT exist. How i can delete persona theme and install without duplicate? Here my theme list. [image: snhAbGt.png]

found it: needs ./nodebb build needs to open dev console to flush cache

And slick theme have some bugs. ![image: ofG9jKg.png] i need this yellow line to be like line at top.. or post to be boxed (to see where post begins and where ends). Here as u see - post have not top border and design are broken.
