General Discussion

The facts put forward in this blog are quite interesting. But can they completely replace the use of biometric identification. Also, what new level of safety and security can the integration of smart card with biometrics bring?

@JonDoe12 don't think it's possible at the moment without editing templates

any help with doing some pre checks with this plugin ? a test to see if uid=1 so that users can't access this embed

@Bobber I've never used it, just used it to learn more about the way how Meteor apps are structured.

Maybe full matches should outrank others too, if I type in the exact match it would be good if I had a way to always get that rather than going through a list of longer partial matches. In some cases we might end up with a huge number of matches, potentially.

Site isn't breaking a sweat even with the five fold bigger load than normal busy days. We are really impressed.

http://engineering.flipboard.com/2015/02/mobile-web/ This is really interesting and awesome. React is awesome, and this is awesome for React. The following is an except from the above article: The DOM is too slow. It’s not just slow, it’s really slow. If you touch the DOM in any way during an animation you’ve already blown through your 16ms frame budget. Enter <canvas> Most modern mobile devices have hardware-accelerated canvas, so why couldn’t we take advantage of this? HTML5 games certainly do. But could we really develop an application user interface in canvas?

As it currently stands, category is hard coded into NodeBB. It will require a lot of work to make the paths custom, but it is a planned feature. So, you will either have to just not change the path or get somebody to change all of the hard coded areas that need to be notified in the site code.

If it was a patch upgrade (that is, only the right-hand-most digit changed: 0.6.0 -> 0.6.1), then you should be safe from broken plugins, as all changes are backwards compatible. The real fun stuff happens when we go from 0.6.x to 0.7.x Edit: I jest. 0.5.x to 0.6.x was harder than we expected, since we changed the static:app.init hook, which practically every plugin uses. 0.7.x has comparatively fewer breaking changes, but it is a long way out yet... :shipit:

Yes sorry i just meant was wondering why it was popping up, the plugins still work. I'll just wait

That's an unrelated bug check here https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/2711

@a_5mith said: @So-Confused Don't use the dev version, it's not guaranteed as stable. Follow this guide for Ubuntu. It's more up to date. Include v0.6.x in your git pull as per the instructions. Awesome, I got it set up. Thanks!

@Scuzz Depending on the package distributor's default setting, but yes, it should default to a sensible localhost access only. Redis is the same -- Ubuntu binds to localhost only, whereas if compiled from source, will listen on all interfaces, which is... erm... not as good.

Question: Can each topic have cover image to look topic list page like image gallery? I'm not sure if I explained properly but I really wanna use this feature. I think it's possible but I'm not sure if I can do this by myself lol What I'm saying is that it's normally list of topic subject Text Only when you click any forum categories. But it will be much better if topic list showing with each topic cover image(preview image), for example, for viral photo categories. Just like pinterest grid layout. Can I know if this feature is easy to implement? And can anyone possibly show this feature if already using on your forum? skype: geekevtop Also looking for developers who can help me forum modifications.

I think NodeBB works on io.js as well, although I ran into some socket.io issues... not sure if that was related or not, though. Nice to hear node 0.12 is finally released

If this is spam, why are we keeping it around Just to troll the video I suppose?

If I understand you correct, you don't want to convert your database, but want NodeBB to work with users, that still will be in your existing database (MS-SQL). It's possible, by creating your own database driver for NodeBB. But, actually, it's not so easy. If you don't have high skill in programming, it's near to impossible. @livefromheaven said: has anyone run NodeBB using a custom SQL user database like this? Maybe, but I never heard about it. You could try to wait for the NodeBB core developers. They, probably, know something, that may helps you.

@baris Thanks for the help! I had no idea it was that simple. I am glad you like the theme!
