@psychobunny
awesome!
Good work, i will testing it. =]

Yeah I guess we could make all of them "anonymous".

Rather than making all anon, would it be possible to use the names they used to post?

psychobunny

Yeah, I figure the right way to go about it is -

Every user that posted will have submitted their username and email (likely). We could email all of those users, and create a deactivated account for them. If they verify via email, activate their account. The only catch is if that username already exists on your forum...

Is there any special requirements for Nginx to get this working? When post request is made to https://community.ag-aus.org/comments/publish, I get an 502 error.

@Ezra-Sharp What error is shown in NodeBB when you try to publish a comment?

psychobunny

hey, did you remember to set up the blog's URL in the ACP? Also, what version of NodeBB are you running?

Nicekiwi

@julian there is no error in NodeBB as Nginx just drops the 502 error, the request seems not to make it to Node.. which is really weird. I mean the article wont actually publish to NodeBB from the blog. SO I can't exactly test any comments yet.

@psychobunny yes, I setup the blogs URL and category ID. And running v4.3.

When I try and simulate the request, I get a 403 {
"error" : "Forbidden"
}

out of express.

All is well! had some JSON issues getting the blog deets, once I got that right it worked!

Wordpress integration is finally here Check out the repo for setup instructions. Go for a test drive on my blog:

For me, the WordPress integration does not work. e.g.:

WordPress: example.com
NodeBB: sub.example.com
Console: XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://sub.example.com/comments/get/XXX/0. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://example.com' is therefore not allowed access.

I'll try to add the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header with nginx.

Okay, I think I've found the error. The posts were not loaded into the forum, therefore, returns the URL http://sub.example.org/comments/get/XXX/0 "502 Bad Gateway", and sets, unlike the plugin is written, no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.

So now that the permissions system is more or less rocking, does this mean something like this will be possible?

When I revamped the groups and permissions system, I did have plugins in mind when I did it. Right now it's not possible for a plugin to introduce permissions, although at a later date, possibly.

Integrated with Ghost and is working well

a_5mith

@julian Don't know how I missed your post here.

Would it be possible for a plugin to check what group a user is in? Similar to the if isAdmin currently. Or is this what you were referring to?

My plan is to have a group, with everyone who can post using this plugin inside that group. (Once it supports multiple sites)

julian

@a_5mith, it depends on the hook, but in general, if you have the uid, you'll be able to make a call to the Groups library to check for group membership, yes.

Where did you want to have this done?

a_5mith

@julian No idea.

The plan was to have multiple Wordpress powered sites using my forum as a comments platform, anyone in a certain group could use the comments system on their site. It's going back to this post that I made back when it only supported Ghost.

@psychobunny liked the idea and was added as an issue on github.

psychobunny

Okay so just to recap, I've updated this plugin:

you can add multiple blogs to your forum. You can have all blogs posting to one category, or you can set a unique category for each separate blog.

Also, it doesn't have to be of the same blog type, so you can do WP and Ghost, for example.

It now supports:

Multiple blogs
Allow users in a publishers group to gain access to publishing rights

This is really lovely.

I was just wondering though whether Google would impose a duplicate content penalty if the comments are both on the blog post and in the forum.

Any thoughts?

a_5mith

@art it only posts a snippet, there's a link to read more after the first paragraph or so.

a_5mith

Can't seem to get this working. Not getting any option to post it from my wordpress install over on koding.

psychobunny

Hmm, are you logged in as admin on your NodeBB? Also check your console when you refresh your WP article, and let me know if you run into any errors
