@pitaj said in Block 1 user from seeing category: NodeBB permissions are additive only, there are no negative permissions such as denying a specific user or group. Sorry to bump an old topic; are there any plans to implement such a feature anyway? Or is there a way we can build this ourselves? Its a pain right now to organize birthday gifts and allow everyone but one person.

Hi @RogerLevy -- the import process should be fine, there aren't any major breaking changes. In fact, if you really want, our upgrade scripts are supposed to be idempotent, so you can run them again (by deleting the schemaLog value from the database) so that ./nodebb upgrade runs them all again. Alternatively, delete individual items from that sorted set. Alternatively, run individual upgrades by executing ./nodebb upgrade upgrade_script_name Lots of options!

@pitaj yes you are right. Issue found, wrong redirect. Thanks

Hello, I have a forum hosted on AWS. The code is synced to master. I am using nginx on the same server, with SSL. Furthermore I am using Redis (provided by AWS). As of today's noon, when I browse the forum's address, I get ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS on the client side. Looking at the server logs I see "Error: misconfigured csrf". Let me assure you that the config file was not changed. Furthermore Redis is up and running (I can browse the database via Redis desktop manager). I tried resolving it till now (removing all plugins, removing nginx, removing FW, removing SSL, etc. etc.). In addition I changed the config file to: http://www.mysite.com https... www.mysite.com (the original value). 127.0.0.1:4567 (nginx forwards to that address) Nada... Its frustrating... Any idea ? Thank you in advance! JJ.

Hello, just wondered if you could quickly point me in the right direction. I'm using the autoassigncategory plugin, however I would like it to auto remove the find/read permissions for newly created categories for guests and registered-public, do you know how I could do this or point me to the correct documentation? Thanks.

@giggiux I want to store the configuration/settings into SCM so that in the worst case scenario we can rebuild the instance. And i don't want to clone the datasets either

Thank you very much! @Giggiux

There seems to be one thats newer than the one that npm installs (npm installs a forked version rather than the original author). I manually put this one (https://github.com/psychobunny/nodebb-plugin-paypal-subscriptions) in and now it works (don't forget to rebuild too)

@abhinov-singh If you are using Nginx on Ubuntu, the configuration files or symlinks (including ports, etc.) are at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ See also which ports are left open by your firewalls (server, PC).

@abhinov-singh With a normal configuration, NodeBB needs MongoDB running. You can check it with: service mongod status Also, you can try from your nodebb folder: ./nodebb status ./nodebb restart See also your nodebb/logs/output.log file, or just the recent lines with: ./nodebb log (Ctrl-C to exit)

@damian-gądziak Maybe you can try to debug by adding this in that function console.log(tids.length, uid, new Error('test').stack); Topics.filterWatchedTids = function (tids, uid, callback) { console.log(tids.length, uid, new Error('test').stack); async.waterfall([ function (next) { db.sortedSetScores('uid:' + uid + ':followed_tids', tids, next); }, function (scores, next) { tids = tids.filter(function (tid, index) { return tid && !!scores[index]; }); next(null, tids); }, ], callback); }; I am guessing the function is called by a huge amount of tids, so the next step would be to find out why and from where.

Protip for someone in the future who will visit this topic: DB keeps schemaDate (timestamp) and schemaLog (table), you can read this keys to check which schema upgrades are already applied. topic can be closed

What version of node and npm do you have installed?

@h7 Thanks, this helped, in my case with no need to make the app public. It's still "In Development", but working. The settings at Facebook for Developers are like the following: Settings > Basic Display Name: Example Community Login App Domains: example.com Contact Email: [email protected] Privacy Policy URL: https://example.com/privacy/ Category: Some category Site URL: https://example.com/community/ Facebook Login > Settings [yes] Client OAuth Login [yes] Web OAuth Login [no] Force Web OAuth Reauthentication [yes] Use Strict Mode for Redirect URIs [yes] Enforce HTTPS [no] Embedded Browser OAuth Login Valid OAuth Redirect URIs: https://example.com/community/auth/facebook/callback [no] Login from Devices Well, not sure if all this is needed, but after many tests it's working this way. There is also the interesting video Facebook SSO for NodeBB - YouTube, which is helpful although not complete.

@sfchun said in nodeBB 1.8.2 ubuntu16.04.2 redis install from scratch: node app --setup I guess that was not the right step here.

At least I can continue !...
