NodeBB Plugins

After several restart. The plugin works now.

@limker said: Looks like your plugin will reject any user with a non-gmail account. Maybe you should check with a list of valid email domains, i'm sure you can find one easily on google. Actually I think this is a bad idea. Because anyone can run their own mailserver. Just check if the email contains an @ is enough for valid email testing. Most regex solutions will fail on stuff like: "this email contains spaces"@example.org which is a valid email address. An email address may even contain a @ character in the local part in some odd configurations.

@julian @a_5mith and this only happening when i use the code from below, when i switch back everything works as a charm. (function(module) { "use strict"; var YoutubeLite = {}, embed = '<div class="js-lazyYT" data-youtube-id="$1" data-width="800" data-height="450"><iframe class="lazytube" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/$1"></iframe></div>'; var regularUrl = /<a href="(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?(?:youtube\.com)\/(?:watch\?v=)(.+)">.+<\/a>/g; var shortUrl = /<a href="(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?(?:youtu\.be)\/(.+)">.+<\/a>/g; var embedUrl = /<a href="(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)youtube.com\/embed\/([\w\-_]+)">.+<\/a>/; YoutubeLite.parse = function(data, callback) { if (!data || !data.postData || !data.postData.content) { return callback(null, data); } if (data.postData.content.match(embedUrl)) { data.postData.content = data.postData.content.replace(embedUrl, embed); } if (data.postData.content.match(regularUrl)) { data.postData.content = data.postData.content.replace(regularUrl, embed); } if (data.postData.content.match(shortUrl)) { data.postData.content = data.postData.content.replace(shortUrl, embed); } callback(null, data); }; module.exports = YoutubeLite; }(module));

Yes, as @Schamper recommends, do not use relative paths to break out of the plugin's root directory, just use module.parent.require to require from the context of plugins.js, or require.main.require to require from the context of app.js To answer OP, I use npm link to link my folders together. I have one big messy NodeBB install ( ) and next to it is a plugins/ folder where all the plugins live. @psychobunny integrated grunt into NodeBB, so I just use grunt --verbose to develop now, instead of ./nodebb dev

@Schamper oh I understand. Well i suppose I will dive a lot into the code and learning a lot about the system in the process. I'm sure a will post a lot of questions in the forum, at least i'll try to implement it succesfully. Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

@Mega Omg your freaking genius! Thats where the mistake was. Haha Thank you

@gvimlan said: Hi everyone I followed the tutorial online on how to create NodeBB plugins. After following all the steps, the plugin is not visible under installed plugins in ACP. I tried to restart but there's no changes. BurnAfterCompiling LINK Thank you Can you see any errors in the log when starting up?

@baris cheers, let me work on it after the weekend

@akumbhare In that case, you're probably missing this line in your nginx config: proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

@Oroton said: @Codejet said: @Mega , have uploaded this pic, simply these are 3 dif screenshots in the one pic. First is initial reload pushes all adjacent horizontal categories downwards leaving gap in masonary, middle is after 2 reloads (perfect, what we want), last one is after navigating and coming back to the front page. [image: M9VI7CN.png] I have a solution to cause a page reload whenever condition is met in $(document).on('ready', function() {} if condition matches front page url. But obviously you would not advise this EDIT: scratch that can't even get that to work since a root url link just doesn't exist. lol I'll keep trying Have you got this facebook plugin working? Working correctly in 0.7.0-dev. Both in the Masonry and Widgets.

teehee @psychobunny Will try finish the gameservers one next haha In all honesty, when i tried @a_5mith twitch plugin on SSL it doesnt work, so i was like im making my own xD Then i realised why @a_5mith plugin wasnt working, as twitch was being called over http not https xD Theres the story of this plugin xD

I commented string //categoryRoutes(router, middleware, controllers); in src/routes/index.js file and add all of this file in index.js my plugin: (function(Preparsed) { 'use strict'; var nconf = module.parent.require('nconf'), path = module.parent.require('path'), winston = module.parent.require('winston'), controllers = require.main.require('./src/controllers'), meta = require.main.require('./src/meta'), plugins = require.main.require('./src/plugins'), express = module.parent.require('express'), metaRoutes = require.main.require('./src/routes/meta'), apiRoutes = require.main.require('./src/routes/api'), adminRoutes = require.main.require('./src/routes/admin'), feedRoutes = require.main.require('./src/routes/feeds'), pluginRoutes = require.main.require('./src/routes/plugins'), authRoutes = require.main.require('./src/routes/authentication'), helpers = require.main.require('./src/routes/helpers');

Hey!!! Thanks for the reply.... We have completed our task.

All is well! I helped @psychobunny https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/2869#event-255546006

Is it even possible to integrate a plug in that posts to a 'group' I'm sure FB only allows posting to fan pages and walls. That being said, I know you can do 'Canvas' app for NodeBB on FB, but this only integrates with FB notifiactions On the Browser, where as you'll find most of the time they check FB via mobile. And FB mobile is not compatible with Canvas or any external FB notifications. So you are probably going to be disappointed with it's results. Also, on that note. I've found it susccefull for mobile users, using a push notification app. That notifies users on events. And when they are notified, it refers them back to your forum. via a webui Browser in the app. This works great with a Responsive design or a dedicated mobile browser.

how does this plugin work? I installed it but cannot find in anywhere in ACP

var nconf = require.main.require('nconf'); console.log(nconf.get('url'));

No dependencies required, just have your plugin serve templates (add the template option into plugin.json), and in that template folder, have a folder called emails, and place your template in there. Also place a corresponding plaintext one with the suffix _plaintext.

@kosyak it works, thanks!

@julian but, how would I pass the less path of the theme into my plugin's less file without knowing what theme will be used? I'm trying to use mixins to style my plugin's pages the same as the rest of the site.
