General Discussion

@Samson-Liu to expand on @PitaJ's reply: The recommended method of sharing sessions between two separate and distinct applications is through OAuth2. We recommend this approach because NodeBB maintains its own user records, so that we can keep track of user-related metrics and other data. Relying on another database would be tricky, prone to breaking, and quite possibly dangerous. Luckily, it's quite straightforward to get things working with OAuth2! The first step is getting your application to expose an OAuth2 endpoint. If you're running a Node.js based app, you can use a module called OAuth2orize. Once that is set up, you'll want to take a look at the SSO plugin skeleton for customised OAuth deployments -- nodebb-plugin-sso-oauth. You'll take this plugin, fork it, and modify it to communicate with your OAuth endpoint. Once everything is working properly, you should be able to register and log in/out via your web app.

Any ideas?

I agree, that doesn't sound right.

@PitaJ thanks. it helped.

@חיים-כהן sorry, I don't really understand what you're saying. Could you try rewording your response?

@gotwf said in Some questions : @scottalanmiller Moreover, many forums are used as knowledge bases, tech support, etc. and hence do not tolerate "social media gossip", striving instead to diligently cultivate a very high signal to noise ratio to save end users/customers from having to sift thru a buttload of drivel. So, while Scuttlebutt, the protocol, at least upon cursory glance, piques my interest on the geek front, I also do not see how it would replace current backend db's. Yeah, it's an interesting idea. I don't want to say anything negative about it. It just doesn't feel applicable to this realm. Might be awesome for the Facebook style realm.

@gotwf thanks,I didn't use 14x, I reduced my version to 12x, and then my pictures could be uploaded normally

I am still thinking if we can handle this issue, please see the following link, it handles the table properly. https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/

@baris Thank you!

I upgraded to the new version and the fault was resolved

thank. not runnig

This isn't a forum for node.js help. It's the community forum for NodeBB, a node.js based forum software.

@julian said in I have a query regarding the GPLv3 license of NodeBB and commercializing my final product: Eh? What's cockroachDB, can it survive a nuclear blast? Thanks for the recomendations, we'll consider them I think that that's the reference, yes. It's a NoSQL database that is PostgreSQL API compatible. It's open source and free. It's definitely not as fast as PostgreSQL, but it has a great web GUI and is a "drop in" for PostgreSQL but with different behaviour characteristics. So PostgreSQL will be way better for normal NodeBB deployments, but if someone wants a geographically diversified server farm, CockroachDB will do that using NoSQL mechanisms behind the scenes. it's pretty cool. https://www.cockroachlabs.com/

@rob-brown said in Is there any way to use this with an existing userbase?: If I simply implement the other side of it (i.e. make my app "pretend to be wordpress") should that do the trick? Any major gotchas I'm not thinking of? YES! If you can get your app to act the same as WordPress here, then NodeBB could talk to it without any further ado. That would be a great approach.

Hey there! This is actually not a forum for Node.js, but for NodeBB specifically, sorry!

Does anyone have experience with the Awards plugin that could answer a few questions via DM?
