Feature Requests

I got this idea from Google Plus community. Can we have a button called " Ask a Question " like in Q&A scripts and it will take you to a page where you can post your questions and just like tags, a column with drop down menu to select category. Makes it more simple.

We'd probably have to roll our own upgrade script that calls npm install with a version number. npm upgrade is too risky, since it downloads the latest version of a module, irrespective of any configured versioning in your package.json. Our themes and plugins aren't comparible with older versions, so they might end up installing a version that is too new and break their forum...

@meetdilip said: Does is slow down page loading ? It is already at 6 seconds. Hmm, 6 seconds isn't good nor is it bad. Where are you getting this number by the way? So yeah, it just depends really on what you're trying to accomplish. If you optimize delivery by compressing the image and using a CDN service (optional), you should be okay. Make sure the image isn't huge or more than 2000px in size. Remember the larger the image, the longer it takes for the end user to download.

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 ?

@Marco said: @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 I got an outdated version labeled 0.4.3.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 I cannot make a good bug report if I am using outdated software. I did not even know that it was outdated. You won't be able to solve future bugs if people use outdated software without knowing. BTW.: as I already wrote on github, renaming the branches won't help anyone if it contains outdated software or the docs are insufficient.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.

@psychobunny said: 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

@julian said: 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.
