Just a heads up, I'm thinking of a way to define "widgets" for plugins (yours would definitely be a widget type plugin). Then in the ACP you'd be able to customize where it'd show up (home page near motd or as a sidebar, category sidebar etc)

As for putting this on our homepage, I think once this theme is ready it would look pretty good as a sidebar option: https://github.com/psychobunny/nodebb-theme-lavender

Awesome, keep me updated on the widgets thing. As of right now my plugin would still place the shoutbox on the top of the page on that theme.

this is probably the way you should do it for minimal pain when upgrading (ignore the custom template section if you're not changing tpls)

Tell me about it. Redis error messages are the worst. 🙂

From the sounds of it, it looks like we're doing a database call without checking for a proper error callback. But without a proper line number, there's no way to know which call is doing it 😞

Yeah I don't really find heroku viable at all, apart from the fact that the workflow is a total pain (unless I'm missing something)... the cost is just too much. What's your "cheap" VPS? Fancy a VPS hosted on SSDs for just $5 a month? http://burnaftercompiling.com/nodebb/setting-up-a-nodebb-forum-for-dummies/

Hello @Kyrie, very much so -- it's still sitting unread in my inbox 😞

I hope to be able to talk to the rest of the NodeBB team about it and get back to you.

Hello @mouseluka -- at present, NodeBB does not support subcategories, although it may be supported via third-party plugin in the future.

THX for the fast reply!!!!

Traditional? :x (Just kidding, both are needed anyway :D)

... and that's just the ones listed in the Plugins category.

😮

To think the plugin system just opened up 4 months ago, that's astounding!

Hm... I believe I fixed the private posts showing up in /recent a couple weeks back. Can you verify that it still happens on latest builds?

The @mentions would be a bug, yes... can address that one.

Thanks @Kyrie -- the basic installation instructions can be found here

... and step-by-step instructions

When you update it, you'll have to do this fix as well: https://github.com/shaneGirish/bcrypt-nodejs/issues/11

looks pretty interesting!

You could also install forever

npm install -g forever cd /path/to/nodebb NODE_ENV=development forever start app.js

(Replace NODE_ENV=development with NODE_ENV=production if you want to deploy it to production environment)

Thanks, I am running forever now. Seems to work.

My old man designed a board game in the 80s involving genetics and humor. He even got to the point of meeting with people from either Parker Bros or Milton Bradley I don't remember which.. But his life/work/career sidetracked him.

I have all of his old stuff in a box at my house saving it from certain death in his garage. I've thought about it some, reworked the idea a little bit to catch it up to speed the 30 years its behind, showed it to him and he likes it.. Problem is once again.. life/work/etc. taking up too much time.

@julian as I saw it tried to do that, but for some reason it still couldn't handle the login. Every time I tried to sign in, it showed the admin menu, but for example couldn't create a new topic because I wasn't logged in.
