hi @julian , will there be a NodeBB 2.8.X version of ntfy plugin?

https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-ntfy

@baris sorry for delay. Seems to work fine.

@baris

There are two competing settings is there not:

What an Admin specifies as home page (site wide) What a user specifies as home page

With respect to my user experience here:

admin: /categories
user: /recents

The Home icon button and categories button are no longer doing the same thing.

Thus my suggestion to add in a dedicated HOME button (with bells and whistles) to carrying out the same duty as the brand/anchor and give it more features.

Another why is because again the harmony theme brand/anchor get's disappeared too fast and the user loses their home button based on their preference, btw I've only looked up the element name in inspector, so maybe anchors my point better! ⚓

Anchor / Home button... we're almost there! ⚓

This nav has needed more rigorous consideration, and so this topic! 🛫

The navigation experience has IMHO moved in a more positive direction.

It has certainly improves the first impression of categories page.

@julian said in Change the place of new topic or post button:

As for whether the top bar needs to be floating, that I think @baris and I are of two minds about 😄

I think there doesn't even need to be a floating top bar at all...

Right, grand so let's find a way to get rid of it (more back to this point will follow), here is one reason why:

That's a whole topic listing used up by the toolbar!

... but I have a heavy emphasis on promoting the "reading" aspect of Harmony/NodeBB. This is why Baris added the "sticky toolbar" theme option 😉

I need to test out that stick y tool bar, bu on the other point, I'm not totally following how this manifests, exactly what do you mean about the "reading emphasis" - I will say the font and formatting is much improved, some feedback on that later, but is that what you mean?

Ok @baris forgot to add, I'm on the vagaries of mobile (cell) bandwidth so I get slow mo experience on and off, get's tripped on the kinks, so it's kind of useful here. 😉

@baris @julian is the git version of this theme updated? I'm seeing some inconsistencies between here and my own site with some items and features missing....

EDIT - scrap that. It's because I'd disabled the user ability to change theme. Just put that back and all good but the pagination in posts seems to be missing and some skin elements CSS aren't quite right.

@eeeee If you want your text to appear exactly as you typed, wrap them in backticks, or

use code fences

Nodebb should pay attention to the work of personal messages, if you think private messages on the forum is superfluous - you are very mistaken and this wretched chat kills the desire to switch to Nodebb.

As a simple user, I can change CSS to my wishlist and do something decent from this squalor. But you, as developers, could add elementary options, for example:

the ability to set the name for a private dialogue at the stage of its creation show online/offline statuses in the list of interlocutors show the status read/not read the message

These "innovations" are in all old forums, when I see a new engine in which there is no what is on the old engines, it very sad.

Hello! If use forum without javascript (tor+no-script), NodeBB not show the datetime on post. How i can fix it?

It is basically the same vulnerability exploited with a different socket call. The initial fix in 2.6.1 only prevented a specific case, the fix in 2.8.1 should cover all cases.
You can either upgrade to 2.8.1 or only get the changes from the specific commit.

It gets even faster when you pass in development under the NODE_ENV flag!

... but of course you don't want to enable that flag in production.

Finally getting back around to testing this, still not having much luck. After digging through a lot of the code, and reading through the unit tests for the /api/post/upload endpoint, a user is logged in first.

I have been trying to do this with only an API token, as this process is loading data from another system. I really don't want to have to store a password in addition to an API token when doing my data load.

I guess my next question is: Is /api/post/upload even usable without logging in with a username/password?

We have taken a number of approaches to the design and are close to showing off another preview very soon (an actual one with real content!)

Wow! I look forward to 😳

Hi there!

Wondering what a proper object would look like for updating a users notification settings with a PUT request. The only example from the docs doesn't drill very deep (showfullname: "1") and I'm trying to understand what I should send to update a users notification preferences. The response is a string and in the network activity I can see that is just "notification" -- but trying to update settings.notificationsettings[i].emailnotification to true or false or whatever the relevant binary-type values are. Am I in the right ballpark?

Thanks!

The security advisory has now been published

In that case you could use a server side hook filter:topic.getPosts this hook receives the posts being loaded in the posts variable. In that hook you can check the username and add a new property to the post.user object like platformIcons. Here is some sample code for the server side hook

myPlugin.filterTopicGetPosts = (hookData) => { hookData.posts.forEach((post) => { if (post && post.user) { post.user.platformIcons = []; if (post.user.username.endsWith('_PSN')) { post.user.truncatedUsername = post.user.username.replace(/_PSN$/, ''); post.user.platformIcons.push({ url: '', image: ''}); } // check other platforms like above } }); return hookData; };

Once you have the platformIcons populated you can just use it in your custom theme in the topic/post.tpl. You can use the truncatedUsername as well if you don't want to see _PSN in the username.

@Teemberland no problems. I've just approved the registration.
