General Discussion

Thanks @a_5mith , @julian

I will just try and take backup and upgrade when it is ready.

req.user is set on login.

@esiao Just changed the font to Raleway, then back again, and it's not doing it now. Seems to have automagically fixed itself. Or Google are playing with something. 😕

@julian Unfortunately they weren't, but @psychobunny's suggestion worked a treat.

@a_5mith

thanks, I will trying it

Interesting. Their forum is very clean. Are they using their own code?

NodeBB is pretty fascinating, I'm glad I found you. I have a couple big forums stuck on vBulletin and I'm trying to figure out how to modernize. Deep diving on Discourse and you.

Wow, thanks guys for the replies! I'll try it out after I had something to eat. 🍔 🙂
I'm very excited to try out NodeBB.

Greetings back from Germany 🙂
PS: Great decision to use arch 😉

Yay, another German. 😄 And yes, we all love arch, don't we?

@a_5mith tnx for replay smith. What we need is to have option for users to upload big images like 5mb, but we wanna display it in category listing as a smaller image, not whole 3000px image. So is there anyway we can get two images when users uploading it ? One with original size, and another which will be resized and showed under listing as many posts on same page.

And yes, it's being uploaded and hosted on our server.

Thanks for another quick quality of life fix. It's appreciated!

Heheh... no best practices as of yet, but that is the appeal of NodeBB. I (and I think the other admins and reps share our vision on this) really wanted NodeBB to be a "pick and choose" system to allow you to build a system you want to build, instead of what some other entity has decided.

I liken it to buying a computer. You could save time (and maybe money) by taking something off-the-shelf that a big box manufacturer as put together, or you could build the computer you want by picking the parts and assembling them together yourself.

As for best practices -- Node is really all about division of responsibility. Don't do things unless you absolutely have to do them, that sort of thing.

This is why:

Search is handled by Solr plugin Avatars are handled by Gravatar Emails are handled by Mandrill Image uploads are handled by Imgur

@gaasg Thank so much. i changed title for admin, and can i custom tooltips?

Yeah 0.5.0 isn't out yet, I just updated this forum to latest from master, -1 stands for RC 1.

@frissdiegurke either that or text complete can be a standalone plugin that other plugins can add stuff into.

Hi,

updated nodebb with git pull and seems to work now! Thanks 🙂

A number of changes to v0.5.0 end up breaking a whole bunch of plugins. But the good news is after v0.5.0, we'll enter a non-breaking-change phase where successive patch versions (v0.5.1, 0.5.2, etc) will not break compatibility... or we'll try not to, rather.

@Roderick-Vincent on desktop this is already a thing, don't know about mobile.

Works fine on stable with vanilla theme.

@Paul.Li-李隱唐
Check your network!

The current steps outline how to compile the package yourself, however, they do now have a version for the raspberry pi, well, up to 0.10.26 anyway.

So might be worth changing the Debian NodeJS section with

wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.26/node-v0.10.26-linux-arm-pi.tar.gz tar -xvzf node-v0.10.26-linux-arm-pi.tar.gz node-v0.10.26-linux-arm-pi/bin/node --version

You should see: v0.10.26

NODE_JS_HOME=/home/pi/node-v0.10.26-linux-arm-pi PATH=$PATH:$NODE_JS_HOME/bin npm —version

You should see: 1.4.3

Not sure if this helps or not.. 😆
