    @pitaj If I add 'schedule topics' privilege to a user (or group) they now see every scheduled topic. As the tool works today it's fine for admin or mod usage, but I'd like to open it up for my whole user base. We have a lot of long-form blog and how-to type content on our forum and it'd be a great help to users to be able to manage them through scheduled posts like this instead of having to store drafts elsewhere (like word or such).

    @venkat have you looked at the session sharing plugin? https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-session-sharing It provide functions for retrieving the NodeBB id from your id. Using that plugin is the recommended way of sharing sessions between applications. Changing the NodeBB id format is a futile effort. You can't just change it to a string. The closest you can do is map your id to the NodeBB id.

    @jksh I agree. You could add these yourself to your Forum with editing of the templates/themes, but I'm not very good at that. Maybe change the text with Custom CSS/JS?

    @gwen said in Disable Akismet spam check for moderators and admins: At this time NodeBB blocks all moderators, super moderators and admins to edit a post if a post was flagged as spam by Akismet. I need a option to disable the spam check for users with moderator rights. Im affraid it has nothing to do with nodeBB. Try reporting this directly to Akismet.
  • Achievements/awards similar to Discourse

    Hello, I like discourse's achievement system which automatically awards users with points and badges upon completing certain actions. Even just browsing the forum the system awards them. NodeBB has a plugin similar to this as seen here: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4397/nodebb-plugin-ns-awards-ns-awards-give-medals The problem is the plugin is outdated and no longer works on the latest nodeBB. I think a feature like this is extremely important for user experience and engagement. When people are awarded for something they tend to repeat the behavior so this will help with user retention.

    @bugmenot It is an intersting idea. The initial issue I have is it appears the proposition is swap next page button for top/bottom scroll, which breaks the logic of pagination navigation. Perhaps another equally noble approach is merely a tweak on the current implementation, that would be to put the pagination nav bar on it's own floating menu that is always on top at the bottom of the screen. In fact there is a very compelling argument which I have been thinking about a lot the last couple of weeks, that suggestion the bottom of the screen, especially for mobile devices, could be better utilised, rather than clustering everything to the top. Typically our hand held devices finds more often our hands at the bottom area of the device, not usually the top. So our fingers are already positional close to that area, meaning single hand operation/interaction with the UI is more comfortable. Also anytime elements want to push the primary content off-side in real pixel terms or purely visual balance ratios, should be very carefully considered.

    @julian said in counts for /flags and /post-queue: @murcs As the changes were contained in multiple commits, it may be easiest for you to wait for v1.16.2 (this Wednesday) oh!  great.  just three days to wait.  sounds fairly okay =;^)

    In your setup redis will be used for sessions, pubsub and socket.io will use it to pass around messages. Each nodejs process has it's own post cache, you can see the caches at /admin/advanced/cache. Redis pubsub is also used to clear cache on the other nodejs process when it is cleared on one nodejs process. For example when a post is edited it's cache will be cleared on the other nodes.

    Is it possible to disable the @ mention on clicking reply? I share the opposite opinion as the thread author here: if I'm replying to someone, an @ mention just seems redundant: they're already going to receive a notification for that reply, right?

    I think that: the groups admin must to select one or more category for associate the group with category In the group feed, in this case, it's more interesting to show the TOPIC (not post) that are opened by the people of the group in that specific categories It is possible?

    You need to modify the template in the theme folder not in the build folder, the build folder gets overwritten after every ./nodebb build

    @TonyTony this would be best accomplished through a plugin, to restrict access to certain tags to specific users, or user groups. If you're interested in sponsoring this plugin you can reach out to us, [email protected]

    @omega said in automatic temporary ban of a troll user with minus X votes: @gotwf said in automatic temporary ban of a troll user with minus X votes: First off: Lot of good discourse in this thread. Lame pun intended. @omega said in automatic temporary ban of a troll user with minus X votes: .... Disagree w/above though. Too much added complexity. KISS. Tough crowd, always with the tomatoes... try this one: Let the Mods be Mods, let the Users be Users and Admins be King & Queen, forum developers could be Heros! Granted it's more BOWIE than KISS but you get the point right? Oooh, la, la!!! Good one. Yeah, I'll take Bowie. Had the good fortune to see Bowie live way back in the day. Spectacular showman. Indeed. Followed Stevie Nicks. But I digress.... Maybe you missed that I got your point. At least w.r.t. the root causes of the issue. My point is that AI is not the solution for all things because AI, by its very nature, lends itself to becoming gamified and one consequently finds themselves in a never ending bot arms race. A community needs to behave like an actual community and help the good guys do their jobs policing the bad guys. We need the human factor because we need the human touch and human oversight. And hopefully some human hard won wisdom as well. The larger the community the more mods, etc. required. We all get that many lurk, fewer post, fewer yet are active contributors..... But hopefully.... on a prayer and one wing... good mods and helpers emerge. And it seems they will, in my experience, but it takes time - needs to develop organically and no real short cuts. In the meanwhile... are we able to make a knob that actually works for that? With us rather than against us? Tough cookie, for sure. Oh and can we have a better grammar-typo bots for my posts... No.
