NodeBB Development

Hello Im a newbie with css so i found this code in the NodeBB Forum ul.categories [data-cid="1"]::before { content: "Neuigkeiten"; background: #1e1f33 url(https://i.imgur.com/liB8eUb.png) no-repeat 10px center; } ul.categories [data-cid="3"]::before { content: "Blocks"; background: #1e1f33 url(https://i.imgur.com/eSUaQuV.png) no-repeat 10px center; } ul.categories [data-cid="1"]::before, ul.categories [data-cid="3"]::before { color: #fff; display: block; position: relative; height: 40px; line-height: 40px; font-size: 15px; border-bottom: 1px #0c2b51 solid; text-align: left; padding-left: 70px; font-style: normal; text-transform: uppercase; margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: "Roboto","Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; border-radius: 5px; margin-left: 10px; } I am also shown a category above as you can see here [image: GhYT4H6.png] But my question now is how do I get more category sections? In CSS as I see it there are 2 categories defined or do I see it wrong? can you help me? MfG Funkel

@julian Thanks. Yes it works fine. Only one problem. Seems like 'action:ajaxify.dataLoaded' is not called when i refresh the page. It is called only if browse the forum. I noticed it now because i use this hook to capture user counters and put them into the stats page. It wont work also with simple code, outside or inside the document-ready function. P.S: i just solved using directly ajaxify.data global variable. It is just a problem of the hook

@baris yeah it's true, but you can use transaction on a multicluster with only one node, also if with a lot of limitations. About your command example is a good idea also if it would work only with redis and postgre, with mongodb can be used like a normal batch. I took a look to postgreSQL module, seems it support transactions, mongodb emulate the same thing with non ACID batch. I prefer to avoid SQL databases but the way data is organized seem more suitable to a relational DB

try both but same result,i have no idea why i just installed today and everythings are running at lastest version

problem solved. i have to import external script with require([script], function(name) { }) It seems that importing scripts in a classic way creates conflicts in nodebb

@baris Done, https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/7931

Yes, u can use javascript to inject

Thank you for the explanation. I will probably use a third-party database (firebase) for payments. Using firebase, different operations can be done on the client side, without disturbing the main server. I think this is very useful for a smoother user experience.

No built in way, but there is nothing preventing you from writing your plugin to use a config file instead of settings stored in the database. When your nodebb starts instead of loading your plugin settings from the database you would read it from the file.

Thank you @baris for the swift response. I have no need for backwards compatibility in my theme, so I think I will hold off on bigger changes.

I think i will use websockets, thanks for the advice. At moment i'm using callbacks only because can't do different. Probably async/await will be available from the next version (I've read that too).

just like a content copy protection on wordpress

Thank you so much for the replies. I'll dig into that again and probably come back with other questions

/api/categories doesn't load the data via sockets, you can check it on this forum, just check the network tab and you should see the loaded categories.

@faizanzahid Honestly, we've never tried it. If you enable it, let us know what happens

Thank you @PitaJ for pointing me in the right direction. I adapted my code to the link you sent me. (function (factory) { if (typeof module === 'object' && module.exports) { factory(require.main.require('benchpressjs')); } else { require(['benchpress'], factory); } }(function (Benchpress) { const logger = (data) => { console.log('Logger helper', data); return ''; }; const customHelpers = { register, logger, }; function register() { Object.keys(customHelpers).forEach(function (helperName) { Benchpress.registerHelper(helperName, customHelpers[helperName]); }); } register(); if (typeof module === 'object' && module.exports) { module.exports = customHelpers; } })); Just by doing this made it work client side. But then it stopped working server side. That was easily fixed though by running helpers.register in my library file. const helpers = require('./lib/helpers'); helpers.register(); Hope this helpes someone!

So I'm planning to make a quiz portal using nodebb. I have no clue on how to take the starting step. Could someone guide me in the right direction?

https://blog.june07.com/socket-watcher/ I recently wrote a blog post which goes hand in hand with developing NodeBB plugins as of late nodebb-plugin-cloudstorage, GitHub, NPM nodebb-plugin-lightgallery, GitHub, NPM In the post, I talk about my workflow and wonder what other workflows people are using for there NodeBB development. NodeBB definitely presented it's own challenges, different from other Node.js projects I've worked on. Would to hear about what others are doing.

Link the theme into node_modules with npm link and then use grunt to watch changes and rebuild automatically.
