Key to the cupboard I keep her locked in... ... tumbleweed

thanks!

Hi I m currently following these two links Configuring Database Setting Up NodeBB on Digital Ocean Is there anything else that I need to follow to host NodeBB on digital ocean with mongodb as database? I m reading through the NodeBB docs and following the links by order but was wondering is there anything else that I need to know about? And the digital ocean guide is 2 years old and wondering if there's changes in things that I m not aware of. Thank you

Thanks a lot! It works

I switched over to grey clouds in my subdomain, same problem. @julian EDIT: correction. It's working. I'll make some test before close this topic. Thanks!

I set them up as the same credentials for both for testing and ease of use. In production you'd use different logins for putty and your forum. Your forum user will have admin credentials applied. Sorry for the confusion. If you're still having issues. Send me a chat message and I'll look when I get in.

I am not sure if bluehost gives you ssh access to install the required software to run NodeBB, if it does then yes you can install NodeBB on it.

Did you manage to build a plugin? I'd be interested in this. Thanks!

Yeah I could copy my user inside Redis but what is hard is when new user sign up in MySQL, to replicate this inside Redis Thanks for your help, Max

@Neor At the moment, only Administrators have banning privileges, and there is no facility to hand out timed bans, though that would be a neat plugin

@julian that's too bad. Will you pay me then

Looks like a bug / UX enhancement.

Ah yes, that is correct! I've not selected an icon since i wanted to do custom images with icons not present in the font awesome collection. The icons in the font awesome collection are not an option so how can i have this fixed?

@José-Ángel-Rey-Liñares I don't believe Kano uses NodeBB anymore, though I could be mistaken. We still recommend https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-sso-oauth, though if you have a login API that takes username/password, you could also consider writing a plugin that listens on the action:auth.overrideLogin hook...

@v4 This is a risk with any application, and NodeBB is no exception. Think "zero-day exploits" and applications which accidentally let someone "break out" of the environment. It's obviously something we patch and code against, but finding them is often another matter We maintain an email specifically for handling these issues: [email protected]. If you've located an exploit vector, email use privately there, and we'll get it fixed up!

You would have to shut from stable to master. Master isn't advised to be used in production, but for testing is fine. To change branches you would type git checkout master git pull ./NodeBB upgrade npm up You may need to disable incompatible plugins if their are any.

Is there any way to make this widget show recent posts not only from the current category but from all subcategories within it as well?

@bentael After some pause, I think I'm ready to work on custom importer. After some investigation I have found, that Importer works with classic/basic entities. Even If I will create custom importer, for example nodebb-plugin-import-ipboard-very-custom, import plugin will use only designed methods (I will be able to import additional fields) like: setup, getPaginatedUsers, getPaginatedCategories, getPaginatedTopics, getPaginatedPosts, and several utility methods like logging, testRun, etc. My question: as author of importer, what do you recommend to do if I want to import additional entities? (Example: awards) What I want to accomplish after import: Import of standard data: topics, categories, posts, users - It's simple and clear Import custom user fields without altering User document for future plugin use Import additional entity - Awards for future plugin use Import additional entity - Points(like reputation, but isn't part of user table) for future plugin use
