General Discussion

@ffmad you can contact them at [email protected] to discuss details

@julian I'm sure with enough community-driven interest and a wave of emails we could get them to change their ways

Please take a look at the docs: https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/themes/create.html#child-themes

@Gaurav-Grv-Robinson It looks like NodeBB uses the nodemailer package under the covers, but the UI may only present SMTP transport options. Your best bet is to use an SMTP server that's configured to listen/login/relay email on your behalf, this is a little different than a mail spooling system that in the end may relay, or otherwise send directly. If you have an inbound mail server that also has smtp for outbound, use that. I tend to just use SendGrid (hosted SaaS mail delivery) for my outbound emails, because delivery rates come out much better. There are other services, and depending on where you are hosting, they may offer one.

good timing

You can hide composer (red button with +) and chat (user avatar as a button) windows by clicking on their respective buttons in the bottom right corner of the screen. Click again to show window and see your own content. Try to browse forums when composer is opened. This is one more possible action to do.

@wellenreiter Actually the new version is 1.0.0, the new branch is called v1.x.x as you mentioned. This is a big difference

@svetlana Yes, sandboxing is quick testing. And yes, you have it right, If you keep regular backups of mongo in that setup, you'll be fine (along with saving copy of your config, to be complete). If you want to really be good at deploying and upgrades, then at the bare minimum you should know how git works, how to change node versions, and how to set up / back up mongo. Everything else has pretty much been scripted out. Most of this stuff is either in the wiki or on this forum, you just have to look a little

It should work, but I would just do a fresh install on the new machine, you'll need to install the dependent programs anyway, and the rest of the install is fairly painless. After that, you can just copy your changed files and/or database dump.

hello i love this forum software and want to give it a hug but the thing that's driving me crazy is when i type too much, it goess off the screen. (then if i press the up arrow to maximize the reply box, i cant see on the screen what the other person wrote.) is there a plugin or theme that changes this reply box to just be a normal part of the page.. .or works in some other way so it's easier (something besides taking over the full screen / being too small)? also, which one should i be searching for, a theme or a plugin for this? i tried searching a lot but havent had much luck, what words should i be searching for in the future in case someone makes something? thank you

That is awesome

Oh, thanks a ton.

@baris said: @exodo said: Would be nice to have a group board You can do this manually, just create a category for that group and only allow that group to find/access/post in that category. But it wont show on group page like some special thing I think it would be great to link a group to a category because that qay group page could show some great info about that category like active threads, top poster of the group or last threads. Nowadays it show all people post wich is not relevant at all

@nhl.pl said: Error: ENOENT, open means permission problem. NodeBB can't read file. You have a problem with a theme. It could be also something on npm level or even operating system level. Please always make backups and use them in such critical situation. I made changes to fix the problems in the above file. I could not understand the reason for the improvement

@yariplus @psychobunny pls read this https://community.nodebb.org/topic/7996/public-apology-nodebb-staff-must-read

Hello! I just came to apologize. For? Spreading IP tracers. Why are you sorry? I know its wrong. Please forgive me. NodeBB is

0.9.4 problem: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/4264

I recommend SendGrid We support many via plugins, sendgrid, mailgun, mailjet, postageapp...

@Kowlin Eh, the way I see it, email and other assorted protocols were developed back when there were no other protocols or similar services to build off of, so it was really just the wild west. Also, it seems everybody trusted one another and nobody expected spam to even exist, so it was never conditioned for, so now we have all of these bolt-on things you have to do to make sure your mail isn't sent straight to the spam bin... SPF records, DKIM signing, etc... It's a miracle email actually still works the way it does.

Just using function syntactic sugar var hello = (name) => {....} And this makes code clear in async flow async.waterfall([ (next) => { next(err, 'name') }, (name, next) => { next(err, 'final') } ], callback)
