General Discussion

use_port is no longer used, just don't put the port number in the url field and set up a reverse proxy (https://docs.nodebb.org/configuring/proxies/nginx/)

@finid said in Runnig forum without :4567 port in the URL: @julian But if that's the case, why are we asked during installation whether a port should be used for the connection or not. And if the answer is n, that answer is reflected in config.json, but the port is still used anyway. Just part of how all the pieces come together.

Under "Manage>Privileges", you can select wether you want to edit the perms of a category, or the perms of "global". You have to go to every category and edit the "guests" so all the boxes are unchecked.

Will continue discussion over at gh#7407

Are you hitting the save button in the lower right of the screen?

Thanks it works

Work fine to nodebb 1.11.2

@julian I think it is easier than it may seem looking at reddit. For example, for most, there will be enough something like curated categories. Let's say these categories can be created by users only from the Curators group. The same users will be moderators in the category they created. Customization group. It is quite enough to display a custom banner of the curated category below the top menu and a widget of something like "similar posts from this category". Later, with the help of plugins, it is possible to give curators the opportunity to change several styles / colors of the main template for their category (of course, if someone needs this functionality). So, we get 90% of the functionality of the reddit + what NodeBB itself brings. This can give a huge boost to some types of community that could grow at the expense of narrower niches covered by users.

@jtsimoes said in How to enter the Administrative Control Panel?: Just put /admin on the end of url (example: mynodebbforum.com/admin) Yup, this is all that you need.

I'm running an educational forum (https://szkolnecentrum.pl), and, in the first place, I would like to change the names of particular elements. For example, instead of "topic" or "post", I would like to name it "task", "assignment", "answer" or anything like this. More importantly, there is an issue connected to one of the plugins and some part of HTML can be seen in notifications (screen below). [image: ZA712Z7.png] The plugin which is responsible for that error is called nodebb-plugin-question-and-answer-pl (all the plugins don't work except the Chinese one, that's why I would also like to access HTML and try changing it).

@doekia Glad to hear the upgrade was completed with minimal issues

nodebb-plugin-sso-github

I was installing using the guidance available here and ran into difficulties. I'll try again soon when I have time to troubleshoot and provide feedback. It seems the installation isn't as easy as Ghost was for me.

I've never needed to do that but I BELIEVE you might just have to go into your profile and set the email again and get it sent when doing that.

You can't install NodeBB through FTP.

@ckubs I also wish there was more maintenance in this plugin, because I have a pending pull request to be accepted. And besides that, it's a awesome plugin, like you said.

@yariplus said in Remove postbar bottom topic (or making better but remove is also good): Your negative margin pushes the bar into the content above. Apply it only to the first bar. ul .post-bar { background-color: #1d1f21; margin-left: -10px; margin-top: -20px; margin-right: -10px; } Thank you sir, you are awesome Now it looks perfect [image: BoAs2NI.png]

I still didn't get it. Can someone write a short instruction? So, we have in file /public/language/en-US/pages.json key "unread" with value "Unread Topics" What should i do, so when user selects en-US language, she will see not "Unread Topics", but "Some other phrase" where 'pages.unread' placeholder is used? Of course i do not want to change this string value directly in the language file, as it will be overwritten during future updates. But what should i do?

For anyone using NodeBB to upload a screenshot from node.js const buffer = await createImage({ path: `screenshot/annotation:${ annotationID }` , encoding: 'binary' }) const result = await rp({ url: `${ endpoint }/util/upload?_uid=${ _uid }`, method: 'POST', json: true, headers: { Authorization , 'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data' }, formData: { 'files[]': { value: buffer, options: { filename: `annotaion-${ annotationID }.jpg`, contentType: 'image/jpg' } } }, })
