@kalihman A primer on writing plugins can be found here: https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/plugins/create.html

@Joykiller Not sure if you're around anymore but I thought I'd respond anyway. The problem with maintaining a plugin and theme directory is the maintenance aspect. We simply don't have the time to make sure everything is compatible, especially since every plugin created is a community contribution. So we automate. We rely on plugin developers to report plugin compatibility, and serve only those plugins that are marked compatible. There is one downside, however, and that is plugins will quickly disappear in successive revisions of NodeBB unless the authors keep them up to date. So there's definitely space for crowdsourcing as well. If a plugin is not marked compatible by the developer directly, multiple reports of compatibility by the plugin users should also count, and if enough votes come in, then the plugin should automatically be reintroduced. that part isn't in yet, but it's on the wish list.

If there were multiple topics with the same slug I would show the user a list of those topics with a summary text of the body content and allow them to click on the one they want to read. Anyone know of some sample code to find a list of topics based on the slug?

If you liked that one, here's another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLkr1E0bq64

The other option would be to modify the theme you are using to add in the ad code.

@Kowlin said: Hmm I did see Guardians of the Galaxy like 2 days ago. I really don't like movie theaters for some reason. I appear to like my damp rooms more ;). Anyhow, loved Guardians of the Galaxy, hope I can expect the same of Deadpool Yeah, it's quite the same humour. I watched Deadpool two nights ago -- totally worth it. Loved every minute.

You get what you pay for.

Its worth mentioning that NodeBB runs perfectly without Docker. And if I remember correctly it preforms in a more unknown way.

@Danny-McWilliams said: Is it free? Yes. The software is free. Is there also a hosted version where the hosting and technical side is done for you? Yes. If you "don't want to configure and do that annoying stuff" then you can either pay to have it hosted, or pay a third party to do it for you. If you don't want anyone to configure and host a server for you, or that "annoying stuff" like installing it and paying for a server of some description, you are never going to get it "for free". There's lots of guides on how to do it relatively cheaply, if you're willing to learn a little (it's not a lot) and maintain it (which isn't difficult). Hmm ill think about doing that.

@Magnus-Johansson NodeBB supports IE9

Worked like a charm. Got couple of hours to fix that

@lenovouser I've seen that. And immediately got scared off by the fact that it's no ddos protection. CloudFlare might have its problems like no WebSocket support on lower plans. But comparing these 2 then Cloudflare is easly the industry standard. And for good reason.

@julian [image: f0197563dda2a48d34396a5881b6729a.jpg] I like NodeBB's source, though it would be nice to have real documentation for it Maybe even something like consistent JSDoc comments? Thank you for the kind words, by the way. I'll keep updating this post from time to time

@damien123 No additions needed, NodeBB loads the same whether you navigate to it "cold" (that is, directly via url), or locally via SPA interface. You can see that by viewing the page's source. It's indexable/crawlable. If you're migrating, I'd encourage you to set up redirects so your links to existing topics/categories are not lost, but otherwise, you should be good to go.

Thanks.. As an emergency I just removed the topic call (I suspected it was that) every post in the recent list went from a few hundred views to 1k+ in half a day. There aren't enough employees in my department for that many views :). I was only using it to show up votes.. I would have just used the rss feed if I could have but it's hardly includes any information. Subtracting from the view counts sounds doable.. Thanks again.
