0.9.x doesn't have that code, you are probably on master. Try doing a git pull.

I don't think it was Mongodb's user or db being the issue ._.
Pretty sure "host identifier" has something to do with either nodebb or mongo's hosting setup, but I think it was that of NodeBB

on the second time it wasn't accepting my webInstaller settings - not through the command line.

But thanks.

I wasn't talking about host identifier, I was talking about how to set up using auth and managing your DB's.

You having connection issues you should post all your logs, including nodebb, nginx configurations etc.

You said:

double colon in host identifier

Most likely issue with having a wrong syntax with the config.

Well idk how but it works: https://minova.co what's the case??? Did I break it or what?

@julian

Thanks mate...

I had a bit of a play with it.... Works as advertised... Great plugin.

I'd love the ability to share a copy of the assets folder somehow as well tho. But I know this wouldn't be very safe.

Possibly. Try this.

In src/meta/dependencies.js, change the beginning of the function definition for Meta.dependencies.check like so:

First of all your NGINX config is incorrect. You want to access the forum under /community, but are using /forum in it.
This is a simplified version of my NGINX config:

And here my config.json:

@agusputra yeah its truly, but it can update only from console via npm i nodebb-plugin-dbsearch

@Verpz share your Apache config. I suspect it to be wrong.

Also check the log files of NodeBB for any errors.

@frissdiegurke Thanks!

Thankfully, Pichalite was able to talk me up to 0.7.3, now we're trying to get up from there.

Sorry for the ress, but I solve this in Persona with HTML and CSS, just declarating the Sidebar widget-area in categories.tpl and CSS to fix the categories width.
I'm newbie with front-end, but this "fix" is functional atm.

Yeah, the nginx config for subfolder installs is a bit tricky 😄 Glad you got it working!

Hi,

I am a relatively new web developer, and wanted to know whether this was a good enough approach to my problem.

I have nodebb forums running on a subdomain, and want some of the details of the logged in user to be available to my main domain. I do not want a full fledged sso system or something like that, as I want minimum hassle. I was thinking of the following method, and wanted whether this is feasible from a technical and security point of view.

I was thinking of setting '.example.com' for my express cookie session so it is available on my main domain. From there, I can use this cookie to make a cURL request to a custom api endpoint on my forums, which basically returns the users details if the cookie can be authenticated.

I hope someone can help me, as I am unsure from a security point of view whether it is feasible.

Thanks

Thank you.

Works like a charm. @Bri and @pichalite

@Kowlin Hey, thank you for your time in response, and for sure i have done my research on this amazing software forum, i agree it is one of a kind 🙂
i have VPS server,
you know anyone that can possibly help ?

@Pappmann https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/v0.9.x/src/emailer.js

For a quick hack, just change the second 'direct' to 'sendmail' in line 17.

For a real patch, change the name in the array, too (rename the first direct to sendmail), and then change it in line 118, too.

Title basically says it all, I installed a plugin, then when I went try and post on my forum, I wasn't able to.

So I uninstalled the plugins using this thread - https://community.nodebb.org/topic/1270/disable-plugin-from-cli/5

Checked if the plugins were on the site and they were, event checked on root. Any ideas?

@psychobunny what about showing a captcha after 2 or 3 failed logins?

Yup that works 👍

You need a plugin that uses the filter:uploadFile hook to do that.

It doesn't look like any exist yet.

What CDN did you want to use?

done, I can call a function when this hook is fired filter:categories.build

+1 on keeping it in English. It's hard enough to keep one language of the doc portal in sync.
