General Discussion

when I first login in ,my home page loads too slowly which may be 6 seconds or more, how to fix this?I find this community is more fast than mine, what should I do?

@qqqqqqq said in Amazon Document DB instead of MongoDb: @julian wait you support postgresql? not listed here https://docs.nodebb.org/configuring/databases/ Just outdated docs then. It has been supported for years. I wrote a install guide for NodeBB 1.15 with postgresql on Fedora 33 back in 2020. https://www.mangolassi.it/topic/22497/setup-nodebb-on-fedora-33-with-postgresql-and-nginx-with-https-only

@phenomlab thank you!

Hi all When I was using Persona theme, the avatars of the group members used to show on the main groups page (/groups) [image: 1677765373692-screenshot-2023-03-02-135502.png] I'm now using Lavender. Is there a way to show these avatars here now? Otherwise, what is the white space for? Thanks so much

Just one other update on this, in case it's useful for other users... It seems to be this plug-in that creates an issue on lavender: [nodebb-plugin-category-join-group] Yesterday's events: -I had Persona theme - all fine -I changed to Lavender - all fine -I installed and then uninstalled above plug-in, and thought nothing of it. -Problem arose with categories... Today's events: -Reverted back to Persona and all was fixed -Once again reverted back to Lavender, and still everything was ok. -Tried again to reinstall above plug-in - problem came back again Again, I have flip-flopped between themes and the problem is sorted, but it definitely seems that the above plug-in doesnt agree with Lavender theme for some reason. Which is a shame, because I'd love to use this plug-in. I hope this might be useful for others.

@julian Thank you, I understand, another question,: how can NodeBb support the dynamic switching dark mode or light mode?

@Yehonatan-Albert That would only work if the upload was completed via NodeBB as there will not be any reference point in the DB for it otherwise

@julian I tend to avoid big cloud providers, i would prefer many small cloud providers communication via highly secure and encrypted protocols via internet.

@DanAdair No problems. You can also find the widgets used on the categories page here in the same area (widgets) - you just need to add them as they are not by default.

@julian said in is nodebb the right choice ? why the community is not vary "active "? installed nodebb and finds it vary enjoyable so far, where is everyone?: I will say this, however... I refuse to believe that humanity will stoop to the lowest common denominator. Yes, maybe we'll go through phases where we just send memes to one another, but we will always rise above and return to a medium where long-form content is shared and appreciated. We will always need long-form journalism, and yes, even forum software for in-depth discussion. This is a great point. Long-form responses that actually explain something add far more weight and value in my view. I'm no fan of the tldr brigade, and it's just being lazy. Yes, I appreciate that (in the case of my forum which offers solutions) people are keen to get to the bottom line, but if you don't read the thread in it's entirety, what did you learn exactly ? The answer? Nothing - you just got the answer which you won't remember when the same issue occurs in the future

MongoDB is the recommended data store. For development I use redis because it is just easier for me to use (e.g. zrange sortedSet 0 -1 vs db.objects.find({ _key: "sortedSet" }).pretty();) All three are supported by the NodeBB team

I mean people talking like "Have you heard of the forum where you can offer technical and businessideas to someone else without paying to get on the site". If you already have some users kindly ask them to tell friends about it. But yes, if you aim for generating users, SEO is your friend and you could use AdSense or Google Ads.

When a regular user posts is their post id added to this sorted set in the database? group:${groupName}:member:pids

@DanAdair It's very slight, but those are different fonts. You can tell because of the tail in the g and the shape of the b. I think we updated the fonts so that they're not Poppins anymore? (or maybe we updated them to be Poppins). That doesn't look like the Harmony theme, though.

@DanAdair Everytime when you install or remove the plugins, you need click to restart and rebuild NodeBB in ACP, this procedure is safe, but if you worry, you can create backup of you're database before something to do it, use command mongodump

@jsmith The changes need to be made to the files of a Persona theme, found the directory like this: /path/to/your/nodebb-folder/node_modules/nodebb-theme-persona/templates/ I was try to do this on my forum and I did it, this is what you need to do: [image: 1677070154573-tags-in-topic.png] You need edit 2 files - topic.tpl and post.tpl /node_modules/nodebb-theme-persona/templates/topic.tpl /node_modules/nodebb-theme-persona/templates/partials/topic/post.tpl Copy and remove this code in the topic.tpl <div class="tags tag-list inline-block hidden-xs"> <!-- IMPORT partials/topic/tags.tpl --> </div> Paste this in the post.tpl after {posts.content} <div class="content" component="post/content" itemprop="text"> {posts.content} <div class="tags tag-list inline-block hidden-xs"> <!-- IMPORT partials/topic/tags.tpl --> </div> </div> Now run the command to build Nodebb and that's it, ready. UPD. (note that when the screen size is a mobile phone the tag is not even displayed in the post/header.) Yes, you right. To show tags on mobile you need remove hidden-xs in the div class. <div class="tags tag-list inline-block"> <!-- IMPORT partials/topic/tags.tpl --> </div>

@julian said in My website idea...: @carim7 You would have to log in again, as they are separate sites and identities/sessions are kept separate from WordPress. If you use Elementor, you could probably get pretty far forking nodebb-theme-community. It basically takes the elementor header and footer from nodebb.org and puts it in a NodeBB v2.x site. It's not compatible with v3.x yet. Sorry, quick question which I think I know the answer to. Is there a way to sync usernames and passwords from NodeBB to WP so that I can allow users to log in to WP using the same credentials? I am going to be manually approving the sign-ups as this will be a closed forum, so social login isn't an option.

Fantastic. Thanks so much @phenomlab
