Category Notification is even better than what i tried to do, thanks for that. I know there is the Chat function but i was imagining something like a "Reply with PM" function in the Reply dropdown, guess that does not exist or is there a plugin for that as well?

@PitaJ Thank you! Note: If I use /me it doesn't work - /me/doesn't work as well. It does not point to the own user profile. Only a reference to a sub-page as mentioned by @PitaJ works. /me/bookmarks works and points to the own bookmarks.

@levy318 said in XMAPP: Is it possible to install NodeBB site on XAMPP? No, but not because it is Apache. XMAPP is a platform for PHP and Perl. NodeBB is written in NodeJS. No language can run on another like that. XMAPP can only run Perl or PHP applications. NodeBB will work with Apache, but makes no sense. It'll run on Windows, but that makes no sense either - slow and licensing problems. Bottom line, there is no situation where this question should come up. That said, can NodeBB run on Windows? Of course, no problem. You just install it there. It's a terrible idea, but it will absolutely work. XMAPP is completely unnecessary. Just don't install XMAPP or just completely ignore it and don't start it up, and you'll be fine.

@julian You got it.

I tried to setup nodebb locally but encounter these issues: ''' info sharp Detected globally-installed libvips v8.7.4 info sharp Building from source via node-gyp make: Entering directory '/home/jordanly/JordanLy/My Folder/Sydney-Study/Personal project/nodebb/node_modules/sharp/build' TOUCH Release/obj.target/libvips-cpp.stamp CXX(target) Release/obj.target/sharp/src/common.o In file included from ../src/common.cc:27: ../src/common.h:78:20: error: ‘Handle’ is not a member of ‘v8’ 78 | bool HasAttr(v8::Handlev8::Object obj, std::string attr);

Are there any errors in the server log?

You can create a topic and put everything you want there and then use /admin/settings/notifications and set the welcome notification link to the url of the topic. This will send a notification to new users that will take them to this topic.

@PitaJ said in Help with Upgrade to v1.13.x: @Michael-Pfaff yeah I'd check git status before doing anything and run reset if there are changes Much appreciated @PitaJ!

I try install nodebb at new ubuntu18.04: git clone -b master https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb and nodebb/public/src/admin/manage/users.js line:289 has be change function handleUserCreate() { $('#createUser').on('click', function () { Benchpress.parse('admin/partials/create_user_modal', {}, function (html) { bootbox.dialog({ message: html, title: '[[admin/manage/users:alerts.create]]', onEscape: true, buttons: { cancel: { label: '[[admin/manage/users:alerts.button-cancel]]', className: 'btn-link', }, create: { label: '[[admin/manage/users:alerts.button-create]]', className: 'btn-primary', callback: function () { createUser.call(this); return false; }, }, }, }); }); return false; }); } the bug is the same . Thanks

@baris I tried: sudo git reset --hard origin/master sudo ./nodebb upgrade he ACP user bug is the same .. how can I do ? THX

Hello, I was installing NodeBB today and I after a successful install, I tried running nodebb start only for the nodejs script to pop up and the code to crash. This was in my nodebb log : [image: pJjqEde.png] I couldn't find anything questions similar my issue and any help would be appreciated.

PitaJ is correct, that's a text file that you need to edit. The description that you wrote tells all of the details... the two lines given are to be appended to the end of that file. Means the same thing on Linux as it does on Windows or macOS: open a text editor and stick those on the bottom of that file. You'll need to restart MongoDB after you make that change for it to pick it up.

@The-Worms Well thank you very much! how do I enable development mode so that when a file is changed, it is hot-loaded? now when you change the file is fully assembled and each change you need to wait for 20 seconds to see the result

@baris said in how to get only current day/week posts of a specific category?: /api/top?cid=5&term=daily perfect! thanks!

Sharing a topic using FB messenger works fine. I think only custom home page causes such problem. I've not tried categories page yet.

Bumpety bumbety!

@PitaJ @oplik0 it's working, thanks guys!

I modified html link on my custom home page. from <a href="/app/">App</a> to <a href="javascript:window.location.href=window.location.href + 'app/'">App</a> Pros: no change to NodeBB source, so that I can update NodeBB as new release comes. Cons: The link URL is ugly and can not be copied for quote. Ref: Difference between window.location.href=window.location.href and window.location.reload()

Check the credit card!!!
