NodeBB Development

https://www.google.ca/search?q=Need+a+custom+theme+or+plugin+for+NodeBB&safe=off&tbm=dsc I just posted that question on SO to flamebait Jeff Atwood Just kidding Yes we figured it out, as per the link above, we are showing up on the discussions tab on Google now Not sure if discourse has yet... https://www.google.ca/search?q="Welcome+to+meta.discourse.org"&tbm=dsc I don't think so..

Congratulations to http://community.onehundredfreebooks.com - our very first customer for our premium hosting platform (which just entered closed Beta). We created a custom theme for him as well! We're pretty excited to see this forum grow~

Thanks @quahfamili! Glad to put a marker on it, even if development is always continuous

Hey @RefinedSoftware, @caske33, There's an ongoing issue right now with plugins not being "ajaxified" in the admin panel. "Ajaxifying" is our pet name for our shorthand method that loads pages in NodeBB (since it is a one-page application, it doesn't truly do a page reload when you click links). Give it a try, if you'd like: Open up your console (hit F12), and navigate to the console tab, if it is not open already Type in ajaxify.go('users/online') ; Also, it looks like I found a bug with the Skype Emoji -- darnit.

Amazing forum engine

Hi @sbdubz, our indiegogo campaign was over in August. We do have some unit tests but they do not cover the whole codebase yet. With that said NodeBB is already pretty stable and we usually get onto bugs that crop up within the same day.

I think you are referring to vars like https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/blob/master/src/categories.js#L47 If that's the case you are right those can and probably should move into the functions where they are used.

Thanks to @psychobunny for the excellent guide! Setting up a NodeBB Forum “for Dummies”

Heroku allows developers to run small instances for free (even their redis add-on is free), but if your site becomes popular, you will have to pay. We have a guide to setting up NodeBB on Heroku in our wiki.

great forum!!

We saw! Thanks for the write-up The more press the better (Y)

I was working on my NodeBB server last night and noticed how actually annoying it is to set up, so not anyone can simply set it up... So I started to ponder if I can make the process faster and easier for everyone to use and I came up with the following idea which I was able to get working on a NodeBB install integrated right into NodeBB which basically took all the methods and checked. So What i did was the actual following: Updated App.JS to support require.Resolve() method to check for all needed files Made a basic requirements reader that was able to read the NodeBB package info *Made it so it test each module to see if it existed on every start up, checked for updates and updated if needed or downloaded them and installed them if needed Doing this took out about 15 to 20 mins of work for a none NodeJS user so all someone know would have to do is basically run Node App Without needing all the other things such as Node install Or anything of the sorts, i am working on also making it get it's other needed resources like redis and a few others Will Post source to my github when I get home from work

Hey, I'll post some stuff here regarding my migration from SMF 2.x forum to NodeBB. I've had a forum for ~4 years and it's about time I revamped it. I'm a huge node.js and redis fan, so having a forum written in php is blasphemous. thanks for all the effort you've put into this!:)

seems like 0.7 to be out soon!!! Soon... soon... :S

thanks for the bug reports @quahfamili - please feel free to add issues on our bug tracker here: https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/issues and we'll sort em out as soon as we can - thanks!

Longer Usernames I submitted a pull request on the NodeBB github. Check it out!

Hey quahfamili, Sorry about the delay -- and thank you very much for your contributions! Now that the campaign is over, we don't intend on stopping development. We're aiming to push more stability fixes and aim to be "feature-complete" within the next couple weeks. Perks will be fulfilled as soon as possible, although fulfilment of the SaaS hosting perks will have to wait until the SaaS portal itself is up and running.
