Feature Requests

The due date for 0.5x is mid June-ish, although we have a ton of cool things in the works aside from this so it might be pushed a week or so beyond that. Can give you a better estimate once we start rolling stuff out, @baris already has the initial version out for the tag system for example 🙂

Is it possible to use a CSS button as widget ?

@julian I followed the docs. I got an outdated version labeled 0.4.3. No one ever told me to update the themes. It really does not matter if everything worked fine for a long time. This should just show you that you need more testing. You obviously did not test installing version 0.4.3 as described in the docs directly.
I know it's not easy to find bugs, but please seriously consider this request as it will prevent a lot of headaches in the future and show admins what might not be working. I cannot make a good bug report if I am using outdated software. I did not even know that it was outdated. You won't be able to solve future bugs if people use outdated software without knowing.

BTW.: as I already wrote on github, renaming the branches won't help anyone if it contains outdated software or the docs are insufficient. I would be really glad to see my request beingf implemented and help thousands of people setting up a very nice forum.

hey @cytrax, have a look here: https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/issues/1299
It's something that we're thinking of implementing one way or another soon 🙂

Just curious is this is still intended in v0.5 or if it will come later on the roadmap?

@psychobunny ....great....I would definitely used on my website...

How about pushing all the topcis you follow to an rss feed so you can pushbullet it to yourself?

@a_5mith clear cache? 😄

It is definitely in already. Slated for 0.5.0

@Giorgio-Chiodi #450

It would be nice to add something shiny to the circle as in your avatar 😉

Is there any custom CSS code using which I can add this sparkling effect to a particular user group ?

... but that would break all existing embeds :wink2:

Real reason is I want to keep it like GitHub's issue mentions... would like to also do commits too at some point

Or in alternative, is there an extract - excerpt option in NODEBB? @julian @baris

Sounds like the NodeBB philosophy... except we haven't quite gotten around to the "Pro" version yet...

I'm not actually referring to NodeBB itself, but to what would be its plugins, like @Schamper's video chat plugin.

Compatibility notes should be standard in all plugins, but it's still early. We're moving from minver to compatibility, so that should cover all cases, and allow the package manager to show only plugins approved for installation.

I'm not too sure if we should be adding too much logic in the templates (gets super messy). That said, there is a way for you to accomplish the above, via helpers.

JS:

templates.registerHelper('iterateFn', function(data, iterator, total) { return (data.someVar && iterator === 3) ? true : false; });

Templates:

<!-- BEGIN someLoop --> {function.iterateFn} <!-- END someLoop -->

Some real-world examples found here (none using the iterator variable as of yet though)

@siffloteux go into your ACP, then general settings, right at the bottom, is allow guests to search without logging in. Tick that and save.

The more I use NodeBB and Ghost, the more comfortable I get with Markdown. Of course the automatic embed of URLs, images, videos, music, and others make many BBcode irrelevant.

Yeah we're looking into that + sorting replies by most upvotes. Similar concepts I'm assuming if we figure out one the other will be easily sorted out.

@Ezra-Sharp That's a really interesting idea. I don't think I have ever seen or thought of this before. It could definitely be useful though.

We noticed that using the browser's notifications has its limit, since they only work when the app is open on the mobile device. Which kind of beats having the notifications altogether.

This is where pushbullet itself would come in. Currently talking to someone at pushbullet over this, but it's lower priority at the moment, as it is not on our immediate roadmap.
