[nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields] NS Custom Fields

[Nicolas]

@Sergey thanks for report and participating in testing of the plugin on It's earlier stages I will fix it today. I think I know that is the problem.

[yariplus]

@Nicolas Consider changing

customFields = [];

to

customFields = params.userData.customFields || [];

So that you don't overwrite customFields added by other plugins.

[Sergey]

Last error I found in : nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields/public/js/fields-edit.js

line 61:
- .val(content[fieldEntity.key]);
+ .val(content && content[fieldEntity.key]);

Now it works as expected. Thanks @Nicolas !

[Sergey]

@yariplus said:

customFields = params.userData.customFields || [];

good catch. Thanks!

[Sergey]

Small suggestion, check if Custom Field value is url and replace it with link.

filters.js:

4: var urlRegex = /(((https?:\/\/)|(www\.))[^\s]+)/i;
..
..
26:  if (result.data) { 
            var i = 0, len = result.fields.length, fieldMeta, customFields = params.userData.customFields || [];
            for (i; i < len; ++i) {
                fieldMeta = result.fields[i];
                var value = result.data[fieldMeta.key];
                if (value) {
                    customFields.push({
                        name : fieldMeta.name,
                        value: value.match(urlRegex)? urlify(value) : value
                    });
                }
            }
            params.userData.customFields = customFields;
39:   }            

..
..
53:     function urlify(text) {
        return text.replace(urlRegex, function(url,b,c) {
            var url2 = (c == 'www.') ?  'http://' +url : url;
            return '<a href="' +url2+ '" target="_blank">' + url + '</a>';
        }) 
58:  }

@Sergey
For such task, will be dedicated formatters.
8-th list item in TODO list

[Sergey]

Can you also add those custom fields in post data, so we can display them somewhere under user's avatar or something like that.

[Nicolas]

Critical fixes are made, also plugin is published to Node Package Manager.
First post is updated, same as documentation on GitHub.

[Nicolas]

@Sergey sure, but it will be optional (You should toggle it in ACP)

[psychobunny]

Nice I'm sure there is a way we can add something to core without having you required to edit the theme manually. What if it was a widget area in the profile page? I'd accept that PR if you were willing to change how this works

[esiao]

If this works and I'll try it tommorow you sir are my hero. I was looking forward this feature since the begining and didn't had the time to jump in.

[Nicolas]

New version 1.1.0 has been released.
Now you have ability to populate Topic View with custom fields. Also this feature is optional, so Settings was introduced also.

@psychobunny I'm not familiar with widgets in NodeBB. Can you collaborate and give me some example? (link on repo, benefits, etc.)

[Nicolas]

@psychobunny Also I'm going to create another plugin, and I need this space in user's profile. Do you have any suggestions how I can reach it without manual editing also?

[Nicolas]

For example, render numeric values under avatar as metrics or accountStats

						<div class="text-center account-stats">

							<div class="inline-block text-center">
								<span class="human-readable-number" title="{reputation}">{reputation}</span>
								<span class="account-bio-label">[[global:reputation]]</span>
							</div>

							<div class="inline-block text-center">
								<span class="human-readable-number" title="{postcount}">{postcount}</span>
								<span class="account-bio-label">[[global:posts]]</span>
							</div>

							<div class="inline-block text-center">
								<span class="human-readable-number" title="{profileviews}">{profileviews}</span>
								<span class="account-bio-label">[[user:profile_views]]</span>
							</div>
						</div>

Change on:

				<!-- BEGIN metrics -->
							<div class="inline-block text-center">
								<span class="human-readable-number" title="{metrics.value}">{metrics.value}</span>
								<span class="account-bio-label">{metrics.label}</span>
							</div>
				<!-- END metrics -->

NodeBB 0.7, new version error on startup:

25/4 07:34 [27825] - error: Error: Cannot find module 'object-assign'

Sorry, npm install should fix that problem.

Looks like it's the same problem, that part is tied to the theme, so it would need a widget area or a filter from core.

I can probably help with the widget areas if needed.

Warning in console:
25/4 11:57 [28225] - warn: [plugins] Callback timed out, hook 'static:app.load' in plugin 'nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields'

I found another problem: Try to edit any user's profile as admin and you will see custom fields populated with admin's data.

[Nicolas]

I'm still learning NodeBB architecture.
Seems, socket.uid was a mistake to use as an User Reference.
I will find another approach to get uid of user profile

[baris]

socket.uid is the uid of the person making the socket call or 0 if they are not logged in.

[Nicolas]

@baris is there any good option to find uid of the user (/user/:username route) on client-side?
