Seems like there's been no update from this author for almost a year and the plugin doesn't work with 0.6.0. Can we get responsibility for this transferred to @esiao or something?

[PitaJ]

@Shaun yeah, @esiao can fork this on GitHub and maybe request that he/she be added to the package naintainers on npm

[psychobunny]

Seems like @toolito is indeed active though, that issue above was merged by him a few days ago

EDIT: Maybe he just forgot to publish to npm? Might be best to just bug him on his issue tracker

[esiao]

Yes @toolito is active on Github. But update to this one
https://github.com/Toolito/nodebb-plugin-colors/pull/6

I've asked for npm ownership but I don't know if he did it or want to do it. And there's no way on npmjs to see if I'm owner.

Is this code still compatible with v6.0.1? Because I've been trying to get the plugin to work, to no avail.

[Silvina]

Not working for me too.

The plugin in npm is outdated.
So, if you install it via
$ npm install nodebb-plugin-color
you get version at 27 July 2014 that doesn't work.

If you clone the repo

$ cd /path/to/NodeBB/node_modules
$ git clone https://github.com/Toolito/nodebb-plugin-colors

the plugin won't work until you rename folder
from
nodebb-plugin-colors
to
nodebb-plugin-color

But there is a way!

$ cd /path/to/NodeBB/node_modules
$ npm i git+https://github.com/Toolito/nodebb-plugin-colors  

After that the plugin finally works. (p.s. I didn't tested all claimed functionality, I just became convinced that %(red)[Meow] works)

ping @toolito

Hello @Mega . Just curious, why does :

$ cd /path/to/NodeBB/node_modules
$ npm i git+https://github.com/Toolito/nodebb-plugin-colors

Work when nodebb-plugin-colors < with an "s" is at the end? I thought it supposedly worked without the "s"? Not doubting, just curious as to why it works that way for future reference.

Thank you for your help so far. I'm booting up Nodebb to test it out.

It's because of npm internal magic. It happens cuz package actually has proper name field in his package.json

Thanks @Mega.

I wish it took hex code like #ff0000, but I think color names just may do.

[Mega]

@JonDoe12 Yup, it works with hex codes

Don't work on 0.6.1
