@Onur-Baran Should be not much left on 1.15.0 milestone. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3A1.15.0

@retipster said in Trying to understand the fundamental purpose of Groups: For instance, if I've set up a private group in my forum that has view and posting privileges in a hidden category, is there a way to allow only the posts from those group members, that were posted in that hidden category, showing up in the group feed? This would be something we'd be interested in adding to NodeBB core... maybe a group setting to define which categories to show posts in the list.

I see. Thank you

Someone at another forum suggested I edit registry entry to change the default path from that invalid path. I did, and it worked. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Node.js

Hello, I dropped all dbs (nodebb, local, config) and the ran mongorestore dump/ and it restored without warning or errors, but I still have issue. Also when I restart mongod, it fails now and it cannot connect to database. I think I should re-install it because I did not find a solution to fix it (database not running now). My question: would it work if beside restoring by mongorestore, I copy all files of /var/lib/mongod/ from old server to new one?

It is used by nodebb socket.io dependencies.

Hi @Jenkler! Long time no see I don't think we can do this right now, since visibility is handled on the category level. It could likely be done in a plugin though, to enforce visibility on a per topic level ..

@JKSH said in How to gray out posts that have negative reputation?: In stackoverflow.com, posts that have more downvotes than upvotes become grayed out so that readers will focus more on the higher-quality posts. In a NodeBB forum, Moderators can see deleted posts in grayed-out mode. Is there a way to gray out NodeBB posts that have more downvotes than upvotes? Check this plugin out: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/744/nodebb-plugin-dwnvtr-downvoter-plugin?_=1598982091665

I don't believe that there is one. I think that you'd need to write your own to have this functionality.

We have fixed the issue. Our template was based on slick. We compared this to Persona and found differences: In Slick: <li component="user/logout"> <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-sign-out"></i><span> [[global:logout]]</span></a> </li> In Persona: <li component="user/logout"> <form method="post" action="{relative_path}/logout"> <input type="hidden" name="_csrf" value="{config.csrf_token}"> <input type="hidden" name="noscript" value="true"> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-link"> <i class="fa fa-fw fa-sign-out"></i><span> [[global:logout]]</span> </button> </form> </li>

I believe this was moved to the centralized permissions page. Select your category from the drop-down and configure which groups can access it.

Just testing YouTube video embedding and code block snippets: https://youtu.be/mcuQXFrM2J4 def count_out_degrees(adjacency_dict): """ Scan Value (edge) length for each Key (node) to retrun outdegree(list) """ out_edges = defaultdict(int) for node, edges in adjacency_dict.items(): # Additional check for an edge that has no out edge. for edge in edges: if edge not in out_edges: out_edges[edge] = 0 # --- out_edges[node] = len(edges) return out_edges Testing this: Awesome Text.

@PitaJ said in Any tips for installing NodeBB on AWS Lightsail?: As long as Lightsail doesn't limit the capabilities of their VPS, I don't see why it would be any different from a normal install on Ubuntu. yeah, it's identical. LightSail ends up being exactly like a DO or Vultr.

@FrankM Got it. i upgraded. I have new issue. created new topic under technical category https://community.nodebb.org/topic/14961/cannot-post-anything

thanks Xinbenlv, I came across some similar errors and fixed it

How do I migrate a forum from phpBB 3.0.9 to nodeBB 1.14.2? I've found some plugins but I'm pretty sure the version differences will cause major headaches : (importer wrong phpBB and nodeBB verions) : https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import (migration exporter ? ) : https://github.com/elelel/nodebb-plugin-import-phpbb (exporter closest version match but not quite : pbpBB 3.1 ) : https://github.com/belst/nodebb-plugin-import-phpbb (post migration, convert to markdown ) : https://github.com/elelel/phpbb3bbcode2markdown4nodebb Also I'm not quite sure of the procedure? Is it remote connect to the phpBB server stop the forum and install the exporter plugin then start the forum and pick up the entire forum as one database file, then stop new nodeBB forum install plugin then start the new forum and import the file? it's unclear from what's given. I also have some perhaps unusual requirements : I'm not interested in migrating accounts, in fact I specifically do not want to migrate accounts. the migration exists only as comfort for those who want to be able to look up the old archived threads (btw I will mark them all as read-only after migration) but effectively we are starting from scratch with new accounts. So I'm not interested in migrating the accounts and I'm wondering if that's an issue? do posts necessarily need to be created with an account or is creating posts made by an unattributed user name possible? (if nodeBB attributes posts from the old forum archive to a new forum joinee that's perfectly fine by me, not so if nodeBB refuses that a new joinee use that name under pretext that it's already under use. New users and content must take priority) will nodeBB allow this or will it require a account named "archivebot" for example to be "responsible", the "author" of all these posts. I'd prefer if I could at least preserve the author names buit if I can't that's an ok sacrifice. Also will nodeBB allow the original dates for the posts? or will all of them be of the date of the migration? TLDR: I don't know how to migrate from phpBB 3.0.9 to nodeBB 1.14.2 specifically there doesn't seem to be an upgrade path for those specific version numbers.

Do after clicking on the chat or notification icon, you don't see any errors in your browser console? What about your nodebb logs? Have you tried stopping, building, and starting nodebb from the command line? It may not be the imgur plugin. You don't need to uninstall plugins to check, just disable them, then rebuild and restart.

You could do some CSS based overrides. This is something I use in my custom css on the admin panel, it looks to see if you are either in a category or topic of a certain category, in this instance the "Red vs Blue Discussion" category (but using the slug) body[class*=page-category-red-vs-blue-discussion], body[class*=page-topic-category-red-vs-blue-discussion] { background-image: url(/assets/uploads/system/rvb-bg.jpg) !important; .navbar-default { border-bottom: 3px #dd0000 solid; border-image: linear-gradient(to right, red, blue); border-image-slice: 1; } .btn-primary, .btn-info { color: #fff; background-color: #dd0000; border-color: #dd1111; } .btn-primary:hover { color: #fff; background-color: #bb0000; border-color: #bb1111; } .btn-info.active, .btn-info.focus, .btn-info:active, .btn-info:focus, .btn-info:hover, .open > .dropdown-toggle.btn-info { color: #fff; background-color: #bb0000; border-color: #bb1111; } .navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a, .navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a:focus, .navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a:hover { color: #000; background-color: #bb0000; } .composer .mobile-navbar { background-color: #dd0000; } } Examples of the overrides can be seen here: Normal: https://saesrpg.uk/categories Override: https://saesrpg.uk/category/25/red-vs-blue-discussion

Hello guys, I am still thinking how to highlight this buttom. I found almost none of the users have used it... They dont know how to edit the their thread.. sad Every time if the post is not well-arranged, I need to edit them by myself.. [image: ePwPPO7.jpg]
