General Discussion

It looks like we can use either jQuery get/post or socket.emit when we try to get json data from or send it to a custom plugin in server.

Can experts share your experience as to when to use one and when not to use the other?
Any situation on choosing one over the other?

Thanks in advance

Well, I'm not sold on imgur, but I currently have an SMF forum with an embedded gallery function that I would need replace in some way. I need my users to be able to upload pics somewhere to be able to embed in the forum, but it would also be nice to be able to browse through the uploaded pics. Is there another way to accomplish this with NodeBB?

@robyb Ah, good to know you found the solution, was about to post as much 🙂

@Sharan-Soni where is the team located? Is telecommuting a possibility?

Also, what is EASA?

Yep. I'm learning it's a lot like motorcycles. If something breaks, start with what you worked on last.

Any chance this might be receiving an update? Is it difficult to update these plugins to 0.6.0?

@psychobunny pls?

Oh haha yeah, that was just an example correct url would be https://community.nodebb.org/api/category/2/general-discussion

Heroku has great documentation for that: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs

Nope is not working, I am getting the same error. without the domain for session cookie set.

Glad to hear it was resolved 😄

As I mentioned earlier it was working just fine until 0.5.5

Thanks to @a_5mith and @Peter-Zoltan-Keresztes

@aixnr I'm currently reading 'A History of the Internet and the Digital Future' by Johnny Ryan

Great read so far...

Yes, nice catch @a_5mith. Incompatible themes requiring outdated versions of the vanilla theme often cause npm to abort. It's not a pretty sight 😓

I just updated the roundup, and the episode 2 is available here on Faith.na. Couple things worth mentioning:

Previously I posted the episode 1 on Defiance.NightlyArt.com, but then I moved that article to Faith.NightlyArt.com because Faith is my techblog for all long-form articles. There are 66 links of pure awesomeness, so do check it out! I hope this helps.

Have a great weekend!

@julian Is this a thing?

This would make certain settings (like Pushbullet) able to be put in the same place as all the rest.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody. Us Canadians up north celebrated a month early so there's nothing left to do but shop the black Friday deals XD

@pitaj router and app are both routers, per se. However, router refers to a separate router instantiated specifically for plugins to use.

When NodeBB reloads, the plugin router gets regenerated, while the application router does not.

This allows plugins to be both activated and deactivated without a full restart.

... You also cannot overwrite existing application routes in app, though you weren't allowed to do that for awhile now.

Wow, thanks.

Nice to see the W3 community has a sense of humour 😄

EXAMPLE 6: Such Deep <form enctype='application/json'> <input name='wow[such][deep][3][much][power][!]' value='Amaze'> </form> // produces { "wow": { "such": { "deep": [ null , null , null , { "much": { "power": { "!": "Amaze" } } } ] } } }
