Plugin Development

@baris refactored the post tools and topic tools to load on demand for perf reasons, so I think the plugin needs to be updated for this change

My YouTube plugin needs updating. But I'm in London tomorrow to Thursday. Then spending alternate weeks in gibraltar. So its hard to find the time. 😉

@psychobunny ok 😉

templates.render ('tpl/name', {}, function() { // templates.cache['tpl/name'] });

I think so anyways, I'm writing this from my phone

Thank you @baris! I totally forgot about this. I've included my code for future reference.

$(document).on('click', '.my-class', function() { // do stuff });

How much time does it take to see updated version (available for upgrade) of the plugin in ACP?

Coffeescript might be dead in a few years, but I still love it and feel it has a solid place in the JS community at present. At my work work we converted from using plain Javascript to Typescript for almost a year now, but I still use Coffeescript when bashing out a quick script or test file. I love the syntax..it's very relatable to Python or Ruby.

And plus I just love do something if something? syntax.

@julian What do you think about an idea to extend .json configuration for plugins, to have something related to external scripts (scripts.external = [])?

Also will minifier use external js? So every reboot of forum will give latest version to the user.

Awesome. I chose Nodebb for flexibility; become the forum/CMS that I need. Nodebb never ceases to surpass expectations.

app.user doesn't work?

The loop to add buttons was merged into persona. A similar addition should probably be added to vanilla.

I now add buttons in my plugin via hook filter:post.getPosts and in the hook:

Plugin.postsBuild = function(params, cb) { var histButton = {action: 'posts/edithistory', icon: 'fa-file-text', html: 'Edit History'}; async.map(params.posts, function(post, next) { if(!post) return next(); if(!!post.tools) { post.tools = []; } post.tools.push(histButton); }); cb(null, params); };

I'd add some client side code that checks for the cookie existing, and react (redirect) appropriately

Cool! Just signed it.

Don't forget to add as much information as you can 🙂

@baris thanks. I realised there's some issues with redactor munging the data.
When code is insered inside a <pre/> block, switching between HTML and WYSIWYG views will munge the content to HTML entitites.
You can recreate this issue on this page:
http://imperavi.com/redactor/examples/typography/

Switch to code view and add some HTML inside the <pre/> block. I entered:
<p>test</p>
Switch to WYSIWYG and back to code and it has been replaced by:

&lt;p&gt;test&lt;/p&gt;

This breaks the ability to parse that code later with syntax highlighters.

I've raised it with Imperavi.

@psychobunny issues raised:
https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/3468

Fixed this by stripping CONTENT STYLES and wrapping the composer in spans for topics, posts, content classes so it inherits.

Off course, tha'll work!
Thanks heaps for that!

In case someone comes to this thread in the future, here is the solution I came up with: https://github.com/exo-do/nodebb-plugin-reputation-rules/blob/master/ReputationManager.js

A main object and 3 sets as I said, nothing complex (in fact working with sets is pretty easy) but a bit confusing.
When I save or update the main object I have to also call 3 times db.setAdd() or db.setRemove() depending on vote type (upvote, downvote or undo) but thats all.

Thanks again for your help guys 😄
