    Because you ran the forum without indexes you have documents that violate the index constraints. You will have to remove these documents for the create index command to work.

    Could it be that the idea that quoted posts on forums are not rich resources (and thus liable for deletion) are an artifact of an older age of the internet, but at the same time is a feature, not a bug? 100% agreed that in a forum context the ability to quote the text of a post is important. Forum users often extend this in many ways, not limited to: Holding a user accountable (by preserving their words from future editing) Emphasis of certain portions of text Excision of unrelated portions of text Simply displaying the quoted post as a linked resource robs the end user of all that additional functionality, and that is something I am not sure I want to concede. @Christian-Stange @[email protected] @Panzz

    I got it, now that I understand what installs redis. The way I upgrade is I create a brand new workspace, install a new version of nodebb, copy over the config.json. I think that makes sense in real deployment scenario versus executing "git pull" in place. This way I retain a fully functional prior version installation I can fall back to in a instant should something fail with a new version.

    @baris I started working on a more SEO friendly theme/plugin. I hoped I could keep all the changes within a lavender derived theme, but I cannot. Some changes will be in the core. FOr example, server side rendered pagination. I am looking for some advice on how to coordinate making changes in a theme and core nodebb?

    websocketAddress setting change

    barisB
    This was a setting under admin>settings>sockets it has been moved to config.json. Old name was websocketAddress now its just address under the socket.io object. Sample config.json { "url":"yourforum.com", "socket.io": { "address": "", //or url to socket.io server "transports": ["websocket", "polling"] } } Relevant commit: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/14e46a87a63f5e983a58a73109710027297924f3 The reason is if you put a invalid value here sockets will not connect and since the admin page uses sockets to save settings you can't change it back.

    @peter setting the number of recent posts on the homepage to 0 got me my 100% usability on mobile. As it removes a lot of the padding issues that it complains about, read more being the main culprit. It's not big enough for mobile.

    https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-widget-essentials/blob/master/library.js#L80-L113 Should give you some ideas, the active users widget changes behaviour based on where it is displayed, if its inside a topic it shows the poster in that topic, if its inside a category it shows recent posters in that category etc. widget.area.url gives the url of the page the widget is in.

    @priapo At present, it's lower priority, as it's much easier to maintain the templates for NodeBB when they are all in English. However, if there is a need for it, then we will consider the demand when prioritising our tasks

Just reload NodeBB from the ACP. Does the same thing, but doesn't take the site offline.

    Invalid CSRF token

    I figured out my issue... MongoDB user I was using had a readWrite role, but I guess it needs the dbAdmin role as well. When I tried creating a new user in the nodebb admin area, then it would make things go wonky without the dbAdmin role and result in invalid csrf tokens.

    @BDHarrington7 If you're referring to the master-branch the problem is that you cache the value of var userExt = settings.get('strings.extensions'); (and some further operations) once at plugin-start and don't refresh those values after settings.sync(); (within a callback). So you need to re-calculate the regex variable within a callback for settings.sync.

    nvm, I got it working. I was confused how async.each() worked..! here's what I ended up with: function getMainPost(topics, callback) { posts.getPostFields(topics.mainPid, ["content"], function (err, data) { topics.content = data.content; callback(null); }); } function getRecentTopics(category, callback) { categories.getCategoryTopics(category.cid, 0, parseInt(category.numRecentReplies, 10), uid, function (err, data) { var topics = data.topics; category.topics = topics; category.topic_count = topics.length; async.each(topics, getMainPost, function (err) { callback(null); }); }); } async.each(categoryData, getRecentTopics, function (err) { next(err, categoryData); });

    @pitaj Yes, isAdmin() is the middleware, whereas isAdministrator is the library method. They are functionally similar, except the middleware handles redirecting the user to 403

    Security logging?

    Yeah, events.js seems like it should contain the functionality for this. It currently only logs UID, but a lot of those functions should probably log the IP of the triggering party as well. It seems like the only way to do that is to have IP be a parameter for most of those calls. That's a little tedious. my fantasy: events are logged to the db as well as flatfile, have severity/importance levels, contain as much info as possible about who triggered it if the logging fn is passed a socket or request object, there's hooks for events of high severity, by default sends email or notification to admins when high-sev occurs
