@schwach I have two installations dependent on this image and I am stuck as there are no updates for a while, i wouldn't advise using it.

I'm still looking for an efficient way to setup a docker-compose file that can be used to update with new release (both nodebb and mongodb). I wish updating nodebb was much simpler, i have an old forum started from 1.7, it has been such a pain keeping it up to date because of the need of dependencies.

Found the issue!!

You must use the main account API key and secret and not a subaccount key for everything to work.

Getting emails now through both the Cloudron side and NodeBB

@tchesley85 when creating a category you can always clone the settings (that includes privileges) of an existing category.

Yes, the errors are still there with v3.x.

I even deleted the build/ and node_modules/ directories because I thought there might be outdated files in there. But that didn't help.

However, since the MongoDB schema upgrades were successful during the ./nodebb upgrade runs, I was able to complete the upgrade by doing a fresh git install and copying back the old config.json before running the setup routine. I then manually restored all the static files in public/uploads via rsync.

Not sure how that will be implemented since Tag1 and tag1 would end up being two different tags. Lowercasing solves that problem.

@crazycells Agree - you can have as many or as few as you'd like though.

@julian - Done! Thank you for the quick responses.

Yeah I think having a folder under public/uploads/profile for each user would make deleting easier. We can get rid of the glob and delete that folder on user deletion. But we would have to write an upgrade script to move all files and update the path in the user object since they are stored as "/assets/uploads/profile/1-profileavatar-1709738685611.jpeg"

@PitaJ v16.13.0 obviosuly very old 😞 Ooops..installed latest version and now it is all ok..

Thanks for the gentle reminder.

@hnipps said in Invalid CSRF token when authenticating via third-party app:

I'm trying to use NodeBB as a headless forum (i.e. just a REST API with a separate front end) but keep getting an "invalid csrf token" error when I try to authenticate.

I've confirmed I can authenticate via the NodeBB UI on the same instance.

I've also tried getting the NodeBB config and using the csrf token from there in my requests but it still does not work.

My frontend is a NextJS app that rewrites all /api/:path* requests to http://<MY-NODE-BB-INSTANCE>/api/:path*. It also rewrites the auth paths.

I can see the requests reach NodeBB but always get "invalid csrf token".

I've verified that I can successfully call GET endpoints from my app, e.g. I can get the user list from /api/users.

This is a 2 yr old thread, but @hnipps have you gone any further with the React/NextJS frontend with a headless nodebb?
If you have made any progress I would love to contribute on the frontend build. It is daunting to start as a new project but if any foundations were laid I would love to jump in and build upon it.

Thank you @julian you always respond and seem motivated in helping the community. By proprietary I meant no effort has been made to provide clean working examples for the latest nodebb, as in maintenance of such documentation for people jumping into nodebb to replace their old system.

You have a great product here, with so much more potential and I understand you may not have resources and funding to provide so much documentation and maintain working example of a plugin that does CRUD with custom fields/custom data, but it becomes harder for new adopters if they're unable to figure out cost effective way to replace their old platforms which have plethora of 3rd party add-ons and plugins especially dealing with custom fields and custom data.

I take the blame as well, as part of the community it is partly our job to help keep a set of quickstart plugins, documentation, help available to enhance and optimize the process for new adopters. I hope the community gets together and makes something like a curated directory of available plugins, and tags and tracks what versions each supports, and tries to keep a version that supports the latest major version updates.

Thank you for the wonderful product, I keep trying and finding an excuse to adopt it and hopefully I will get there sooner or later.

@baris thank you very much. 👍

@baris said in codes for the skins:

The css for these are coming from https://bootswatch.com/, you can find them in nodebb/node_modules/bootswatch/dist

Thank a lot... I searched the GitHub and found them here:

Replied in the other linked topic.

@julian yeah, database in the same VM. I already did re-indexing using this commands.

@B-738 spiders are bots, web crawlers, etc.

You can restrict access to them for certain categories, for example.

As you named your postgres container db, you should use db as database host.

@julian I tried that route, and it still didn't work:
