NodeBB Development

I run NodeBB on a CentOS server, which is a Hyper-V virtual machine. And I pass requests via a IIS server with ARR. I'm sure it works fine with websocket.

It works OK when I have few members. But, when I put it online, I get something strange: members on my site sometimes logged in as others.

Let me describe it more clearly : my username is oott123 as you can see, but after I visit some pages, or logged in after some while, I can see someone else 's avatar displayed on the top right corner. If I post a topic , the author will be he, not me. All of my operations seems operated by others.

My code is here: https://gist.github.com/oott123/66a507a2cadbb26415aa

I want to get the CIVITAS-Authentication cookie which has been setted by other applications without error; then send it to my API server to get email identified by CIVITAS-Authentication; then logged the user in.

I think the problem is caused by the code around line 86 or 143. I even thinked about it's caused by async or node.js event loop, orz.

There's some Chinese character in the comments, but you can ignore it.

Thanks a lot for help me , and sorry for my poor English again.

@a_5mith So do you still remember me at Topic 2593 ? I just really love NodeBB, so I hope there's some way to help me troubleshot it . 🙂

@julian thank you! I'll take a look into that plugin 🙂

@julian Thanks, the default min size of tag is 3, so that's the problem.

Yes, the action:ajaxify.end client-side hook will be fired every time a page changes (not sure about cold load, but I believe so...).

data.url will contain the url of the page, so check that it matches the regex /^topic/[\d]+/ to ensure you're adding event handlers on the correct page.

Aw, David Tennant! I just finished watching The Fall of Pompeii

It's not a must, but doing it will save quite a bit of space when your forum gets large.

@a_5mith With an AJAX request to yourdomain.com/api/topic/tid the topic address will be avaible you just need to pass a new request to yourdomain/api/topic/{data} and you'll have all the information you need.

Awesome. Don't forget to let us know your site URL so we can post it on our "who is using NodeBB" thread

Edit: don't forget @baris he is usually too busy making NodeBB awesome to have time to post on forums

Topic move notification is fixed on master.

@julian Thanks!

@nashsai If the moderator can see the forum then they can move topics to it. You could possibly hide it from the move list using css selectors or javascript. But I'm not 100% on that as I'm currently on a mobile. The reason it's like this is because if that wasn't the case. You wouldn't be able to move topics without an admin. So you may as well just hide the move topic functionality.

Yes, we fully intend on utilising this with nodebb, assuming the overhead is minimal.

I'll have to do some more testing. Thank you for your help. 🙂

Like discourse where all the posts can be displayed in one page and also can be filtered by their category? I feel that model makes category more like a tag and allows people to see everything at once.

Is there technical issue why this cannot be achieved? Maybe it can be a theme idea?

I really like nodebb as a fast and modern forum technical wise, but also enjoy the UI philosophy behind discourse..

Fun thing about Apple Safari on iOS the bars that are not removable takes like 100px of the total height resulting in a 400px height canvas for your website and add the keyboard over this to have some fun.

@julian Yeah, the images appear in a folder on their github, and I think they're referenced similar to how the nodebb emoji plugin works, but just has more cases to look out for.

I figured you could do this the same as this category.description = validator.escape(category.description);

When I comment this out, it allows the parsing of HTML in category descriptions.

I would like to do this because if you have plugins such as the YouTube Lite, or a bunch of images, it shows all of that when you have mainPost.content implemented in your template. Looks messy.

I know I made a promise to have the 0.5.x branch last more than 2 releases, but we added more breaking changes again, and 0.5.0 hasn't even been released yet 😆

In any case, for those plugin developers who are interested:

As always, this list will be updated as new breaking changes are added. In the case of this list -- don't commit and publish your change to npm yet, as 0.6.0 has not launched. We recommend you maintain these changes in a separate branch until then.

@Ted yeah, and also the way I'm using the chat is not necessarily for casual conversations; statistics/logs from chat are needed 🙂

You'd probably have to write an SSO plugin to share authentication. @julian has a ton of SSO plugins that you could use as a sample in writing your own one 🙂

julianlam has 153 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

As far as user management... somebody was asking for a WP user management plugin. Kind of like if you upgrade a user's privileges in WP, it updates it in NodeBB as well. It's doable but the client didn't end up going for it so we never ended up building it
