    There's no way to require it. The best you can do is tell the user to do it.

    Also, it use require.main.require instead

    Hope so! Seems like there's at least one other site using this port of phpbb. Perhaps more if they cleaned out the attribution footer markup or aren't indexed by google.

    I don't think so, probably something to do with cookies changing. I'm guessing you need to call redirect or status.send to avoid the error.

    Would you like us to fire an action hook when static:app.init has finished executing?

    You need to run event.preventDefault() to prevent the Click from automatically submitting the form

    Hi all,

    I'm working on a minor "experience" per post based plugin. User posts, it saves experience to an object. The saving works great, it displays fine. What I'm having an issue with is when someone replies to a topic. Everything stores correctly... but since the page doesn't refresh, the post doesnt populate with the updated information UNLESS they refresh the page.

    I've tried multiple hooks/filters and can't get any to work. The most appropriate seems to be "action:topic.reply". If I try to make a DB call to grab the object data, the action returns long before the DB call returns so none of the data I need gets added to the returned post object.

    Any ideas?

    @PitaJ, is there a simple way to find the client IP, similar to config.relative_path?

    Widgets are only rendered on the page itself right now https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/middleware/render.js#L53. We would have to add support so they are rendered in renderHeader method as well. Open an issue on our github it could be a nice addition.

    library.js is server-side java script, not jQuery. jQuery functionallity can be simulated with eg cheerio
    main.js is included in HTML (client-side), here u can use jQuery.

    Ah, I've figured out the problem, it was a silly mistake. I had forgotten to rename the folder to match the plugin name. Thanks for verifying the quickstart plugin works.

    Good morning.

    First of all, I'm not a developer, and I'm sorry for every noob question that comes up here.

    Right now I'm playing around with the plugin/widget development. My goal is to have a widget which includes a search bar and a result div. Every change in the search input field fires a jquery request against a foreign api. Result is a big json object, containing an array of objects (example fields: image, name, uuid, type).

    I was able to put the plain results into the div. Now I want to process these results (splitting them up by type) and render them into beautiful partials.

    For your imagination:
    <search box>
    <box for type A with a list of entries> <box for type B with a list of entries>...

    Can anyone please give me a headstart?

    Thanks in advance.

    @baris thanks for the suggestions, for now I've just replaced the toast on clicking Reply with the confirm dialog and if they cancel it presses the discard button to close the composer.

    When you are on the category page you can access the topics with ajaxify.data.topics and on the topic page its ajaxify.data.posts.

    There are also hooks fired whenever new topics/posts are added. They are $(window).trigger('action:topics.loaded', { topics: ajaxify.data.topics }); and $(window).trigger('action:posts.loaded', { posts: data.posts });

    To be specific, you are allowed to use NodeBB to host for most purposes, although you are not allowed to redistribute changed copies of NodeBB unless you also publish that source code.
