NodeBB Development

@panagiotis-charalampous Check in the logs directory for any error. I'm guessing authorization is not enabled on the database as it is not enabled by default. Use the link @Duke gave and follow the 'Configure MongoDB' section.

Hi, I would like to make a forum, but I don't really love the idea of dividing it by languages, so I thought about a plugin that can help a user to translate a thread (so the one who writes it can decide to make a 2nd version of the post for example in English if it's not his first language)... Since I'm not really into node dev, I would like to have some opinions about this idea... And some technical opinions too (like how to deal with different databases, for example, redis and/or mongo) (And I hope this is the right section to post)

Just an update to those following this post, that NodeBB v1.6.0 has entered the feature freeze portion of the launch as of 31st of August 2017 Code Freeze is schedued for this Thursday (7th of September), with a launch a week later, on the 14th of September.

I think you're right... in the case of an anonymous function, the function itself would be in memory too. Then in that case, it's probably just easier to set up cron in general

It's default sorted by latest reply.

I think this would help: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-write-api

You'll want to listen to the filter:categories.build hook. You can remove all of the code creating the route override.

@julian and If I want obtain the latest post's pid , for every "Lastest post" in every categories and sub categories, how can I do that? What is the hook that I have use?

How did you "install" the plugin? npm install will install dependencies, a simple git clone will not. You will need to run npm install inside the plugin folder.

You may also want to consider using cron.

@roldanlt we've rolled back the changes here for now, it'll be reintroduced later

@julian I'm trying in the same way like you mentioned. created: static/images in node_modules/nodebb-theme-persona in plugin.json i have added the below line "acpScripts": [ "lib/admin.js" ], "staticDirs": { "images": "./static/images" } and in the header file i'm trying to get the image like below <img src="/plugins/nodebb-theme-persona/images/logoWithText.png" /> but this is not working. Please suggest what am i doing wrong

@pitaj Many thanks. I'm waiting for a day I can edit this option. Because I see that current view can make user confuse

@julian said in Drop Redis/Improve MongoDB/Support SQL?: Yes, let it be known that if we do decide to drop support, the Redis to Mongo migration script will be immediately published I figured as much, you guys are too cool to be jerks

I get your drift But that's not quite what I meant. My proposal would be to save approximately what a user enters in a textbox on the site. I.e. the same that happens now. So you'll save <b>blabla</b> instead of **blabla**, but you'll just keep NodeBB/NodeBB# 1234 as it is. When you edit the post <em> is converted back to * if the composer you use accepts Markdown. If the site uses a a WYSIWGY editor you can just keep the HTML and work with that. Plugins can still hook into all that, just make sure that they don't put presentation HTML in the DB. I can imagine that they do add something like <widget=github>NodeBB/NodeBB#1234</widget> to the text that goes in the DB (and deal with this appropriately when editing). This would make it easier to build more complex widgets I guess. But that's all optional. My main point is that saving (really basic) HTML in the DB is much more universal and more extendable than saving Markdown. Well, actually my main point is that I found a different (better?) way to deal with the realtime preview of the MarkDown

@pitaj Thanks a lot! Works perfect

You can use the filter:<templateName>.build hooks. For the category page it would be filter:category.build, for a topic page it would be filter:topic.build and so on.

We use the built-in process manager in NodeBB, ./nodebb start, etc.
