    var meta = module.parent.require('./meta');. Then, meta.config may have the configuration (might need to double-check that). var nconf = module.parent.require('nconf'); will allow you to hook into the configuration utility we use: nconf.get('url') returns the full url. Unfortunately not -- our hooks are designed to keep the information passed in to a minimum. The posts.parse hook is called whenever a piece of content needs to be "parsed like a post". It is not strictly a hook that is called whenever a topic is loaded. Perhaps you can look into filter:post.getPosts?

    @Mauricio (slightly off-topic) but this system might be relevant to YoReparo. it's called Curiosume and it is a learn/teach matching system that utilizes Wikipedia to classify skills. es possible se puede reparar cualquier cosa en realidad con Curiosume. more information about it here:

    i think there is a lot of optimization still possible to make NodeBB run faster. there is still redundancy in the client/server protocol but this is easily improved.

    i am interested in how to scale node web services in a completely distributed network, aka P2P or mesh network. to do this, servers must communicate and synchronize data (but not necessarily all data).

    Software have done this for years. I have first hand experience of Magento, they do a community edition, which is more up to date, with more plugins, and better support via forums.

    Or you can pay £10,000 a year to talk to someone in America (it's not a local call, so add the cost of calling America) for older (but apparently more stable) software, with fewer features.

    Users can opt-out of the daily digest by changing the option in their user profile settings.

    We changed the behaviour to be opt-in instead of out-out, as people did not wish to receive emails every day 🙂 If your NodeBB does not do this, then consider upgrading.

    I'm trying to create some html with a variable that can be adjusted.

    <p>Bank Account:$</p> <p id="bankaccount">1000</p>

    Not sure how I would do this. I want the value of 1000 to appear beside of Bank Account:$. However since both are in separate p tags, I can't figure it out. I would also like to save the value to a javascript variable.

    EDIT* I figured to just create the entire string in Javascript. Easier to piece together.

    Having a pretty poor evening with my migration. Nothing to do with NodeBB really, I migrated my domain name over and forgot that that would remove my email accounts. D'oh.

    Guest posting enabled on a board gives you two Reply buttons.
    Clicking on the checkbox to the left of a guest post to delete it took about 8 refreshes.
    Then the big one in the other topic I made, unless I'm missing it.
    Mentions from guests appear as global:guest mentioned you in %2 after the category has been purged. Not so much a bug though. As I don't believe mentions check they're still relevant.

    Will report back if I see any more.

    Ok, I'm getting an intermittent restart happening as well. It's more or less random, no errors in the logs apart from one about spam-be-gone maybe not being compatible. Have made an issue about that on the githubs.

    @igbuend Thank you for the suggestion. I did look into Reaction but it is still in development and doesn't seem to have the flow or the ability to organize large number of products in a good way.

    @julian I think the issue could be further back than this, as www.35hz.co.uk gets server not found, not the nginx landing page...

    😢

    I've created a record in Digital OCean for it, but it's made no difference, so not sure where to go from here. I can't think of anything else at this point.

    35hz.co.uk exists and works, I've got that bit, but how on earth can www.35hz.co.uk not exist. 😆

    Ahh, no wait, I might have it. Just a moment. 😆 I've set up a CNAME record for www in 35hz.co.uk.

    That according to google, should work.

    EDIT: Do you ever get that feeling, when you've worked so long on something, and it finally works, you're not sure if you're imaginging it. I'm having one of those moments.

    The /forum/ redirect didn't work, but, quite frankly. I'm not even remotely bothered about it. 😆

    @a_5mith good work mate, turns out the bug was originated in the ubb importer but never actually surfaced till I updated the importer plugin few weeks ago..

    Anyways:

    fix for admin's post not getting imported in this PR. https://github.com/a5mith/nodebb-plugin-import-smf/pull/1 also use the latest nodebb-plugin-import v0.1.4 to get more fancy bbcode support (details also mentioned in the PR thread) - the latest importer plugin also allows the topics and posts to be created even if there isn't a uid, however NodeBB 0.4.2 is throwing an error when creating topics with no uid, so you might need to wait till I update the importer's support to NodeBB 0.5.0 once it's released (discussion here) I will push more PRs tonight for the other exporters I know of (phpBB, vbexporter, ubb) to patch and reference them back here

    hope this helps
