    One of the first important things to do after setting up NodeBB is to set up an emailer plugin. While NodeBB does include a local emailer, if your forum is particularly active we recommend using an third-party emailer such as SendGrid which provides better deliverability for sites that send a high volume of email. Setting up SendGrid in NodeBB is very easy. Open the administrative dashboard using the 'gear' icon on your forum. Open the Extend > Plugins menu, and select the Find Plugins tab. Use the search on the right. Type 'SendGrid' and the plugin should appear -- select Install when you see it. From Installed tab on the Plugins menu, search again for 'SendGrid' and select Activate. Activating the plugin will require a restart of your forum. To restart, select the Dashboard menu and press the Restart button to the right. After NodeBB restarts, the SendGrid plugin will be active. After you restart, there should be a item called Emailer (SendGrid) under the Plugins menu -- if you don't see this right away, try refreshing your browser. Sign up to SendGrid Go to the SendGrid website, open the pricing page and scroll to the bottom. Click on the link and create your free account. Once you've confirmed your SendGrid account via email, you should be able to login to the SendGrid website. On the left side of your SendGrid dashboard, open Settings and click on API Keys. Click the button in the top right to create a new key. Make sure that the key has Full Access for Send Mail and Alerts.  When you are done, the new key to your clipboard. Now, return to the SendGrid menu on your NodeBB admin panel. Paste the API key into the field, and save your changes. Now go back to the Dashboard to restart your forum one more time. SendGrid should now be working for your forum. [image: youtubelogo.png] Setting up SendGrid mailer for NodeBB

    I think you answered my point, by agreeing there are issues. I didn't even attempt to deploy nodebb, I had problems with much smaller projects! Nextjs routing was going through a change of design at the time, so perhaps that is less confusing now, but there were multiple other headaches. I would get build errors and issues with package management.

    Why new accounts created by api doesn't work with nodebb-plugin-session-sharing

    Hello, I created some accounts with the api/v3, but those accounts can't log in by email on the forum, and consequently can't log in with session sharing plugin. I searched a long time, because this used to work on nodebb v1.15. But on v1.18, some db objects are only set after the call of confirmByUid function : ['email:uid', uid, currentEmail.toLowerCase()], ['email:sorted', 0, `${currentEmail.toLowerCase()}:${uid}`], [`user:${uid}:emails`, Date.now(), `${currentEmail}:${Date.now()}`] So you have to confirm each account before the plugin "session sharing" works with them. To resolve this, i made a custom plugin and used the "confirmByUid" function : library.js : const Users = require.main.require('./src/user') var Plugin = { onCreateUser: function (postData) { const { user } = postData; Users.email.confirmByUid(user.uid); Topics.markAllRead(user.uid); } } plugin.json : "library": "./library.js", "hooks": [ { "hook": "action:user.create", "method": "onCreateUser" }, ] I hope this can help ;).

    Bootbox 5.5.2 Cross-Site Scripting

    Bootbox is used to show modals and alerts. You can test it by running bootbox.alert('hello') in your browser console. The vulnerability mentioned comes from bootbox allowing any html to be passed in. For example bootbox.alert('hello<script>alert("ok")</script>') This will execute the javascript in the text. So it has to be sanitized before passing it to bootbox. bootbox.alert(utils.escapeHTML('hello<script>alert("ok")</script>')) For the full discussion you can check https://github.com/makeusabrew/bootbox/issues/661

    @aniinprni you might try renaming it to index.js instead. Or set "main": "library.js", in package.json

    @baris Using the below site, reminding me of just how powerful Chrome Developers tools are, I was able to Copy As Curl the specific PUT command. Curl Convert Then using the same command and just changing the CID, I confirmed the same command works for all of them. This is what ended up working, it includes all the recorded headers, of which some will be removed as not necessary: curl 'http://pubdump.unfufadoo.net:4567/api/v3/categories/80' \ -X 'PUT' \ -H 'Connection: keep-alive' \ -H 'Accept: */*' \ -H 'DNT: 1' \ -H 'x-csrf-token: H5FMJEaY-CthHWM_2Unzf7DtoPeryGq_JejE' \ -H 'X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest' \ -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/94.0.4606.81 Safari/537.36' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8' \ -H 'Origin: http://pubdump.unfufadoo.net:4567' \ -H 'Referer: http://pubdump.unfufadoo.net:4567/admin/manage/categories/80' \ -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9,zh;q=0.8,zh-CN;q=0.7,zh-TW;q=0.6,ja;q=0.5,ko;q=0.4,th;q=0.3' \ -H 'Cookie: _csrf=27ygKMdG0c0EyiVsJKAkKpId; express.sid=s%3AdODaXfUpLz7NTFsijWLq0d2rPUhH1Ki4.qkyxWOaxlBy%2BLDRpTYbhWS9QkD9IJE%2FRTN1vIhp7yV4' \ -H 'sec-gpc: 1' \ --data '{"backgroundImage":"/assets/uploads/category/category-84.jpg"}' \ --compressed \ --insecure Then using the cURL convert site, was able to save as javascript and modify to our needs so that we could loop through all categories.
