[nodebb-plugin-blog-comments] Blog Commenting Engine (Ghost, Wordpress widget)

@watomsk
Looking at the architecture, I'm pretty sure it should work on different servers

Danny McWilliams

Can this plugin work even if Wordpress and NodeBB are in different servers (DO droplets), or do they have to be installed in the same server?

Yes, this worked for me, different droplets on same domain. Currently it links a WordPress install with a NodeBB forum both on separate domains though on the same droplet.

Updated blog comments plugin to 0.4.3

Updated for NodeBB 0.8.x
ACP page redesigned
Fixed bugs with publishing and CORS errors

I have a small issue with the plugin. It was working fine, and now for some reason new Wordpress articles won't display the button to create a thread for the article in NodeBB, but existing comments on Wordpress articles already published to NodeBB seem to work fine.

Is there anything I can do to make the publish-to-nodebb button appear again?

Thank you

psychobunny

Sorry, I missed this. Does downgrading this plugin work though?

npm install [email protected]

Just want to make sure its not a WP upgrade that made a difference and not the plugin

@psychobunny
which version you want me to test ?

psychobunny

You're having this problem as well on latest WP and plugin?

Charly86

yes, with this one can't create the topic after blog post but works once link from WP and nodeBB created by hand on the database

root# npm ls nodebb-plugin-blog-comments
[email protected] /usr/local/share/nodebb
└── [email protected]  extraneous

Ah okay. I didn't realize you posted earlier, I thought my fix last month would have solved this. I'll need to have a look again. In that case can you make an issue with your WP version, and the api plugin version and I'll have a go

Thanks!

Of course,

WP 4.3.1 , by opening an issue, you mean new post on support of nodebb or on github for plugins ?
not sure where to ask, sorry about this

Hello, I have the lastest ghost installed as a blogging engine and I have installed the latest stable version of nodebb and installed this plugin and integrated in into the ghost. It works as a champ however the styles are not OK. Is there a way to style the plugin? Basically it does stretch on the full width of the window and it does not keep the ghost post width.

Hello, I have added this plugin to my freshly installed nodebb and also added the widget to ghost. I was able to enable comments successfully a couple of blog comments but then I suddenly got this error:

{"error":"Unable to post topic"}

in the nodebb log I see the following:

25/11 04:25 [11857] - warn: [nodebb-plugin-blog-comments] Origin (undefined) does not match hostUrls: http://example.com

Anyone can help me with this?
By the way the two posts which I was able to enable are having the comment engine working all this time.

Hi, We have a site in php and have many pages that do not use any CMS.

To comment on this site, JavaScript code Disqus system is placed at the end of each page.

Now we want a forum with "nodebb" be added to the site (as a sub-domain), which is our forum and cover site commenting systems, so we can eliminate Disqus!

I'm wondering if we can add nodeBB to php site, something like disqus.

Best regards,

julian

Yes, you can do this with the blog-comments plugin. Instructions are in that plugin's readme.

sanatisharif

@julian thanks, in plugin's readme file, just tell about wordpress and ghost cms, we don't use any cms.

Are you talking about the same plugin? The psychobunny plugin?
Or is there another generic comments plugin elsewhere?
Because this one is for Wordpress and Ghost ..
Or, do you mean that the instructions for Ghost will work for everything?

julian

@sanatisharif @Jacob-Moen The plugin did support generic websites before, although perhaps I am mistaken.

Please wait for @psychobunny to return and answer

I'm also interested in a more generic integration with our sites for commenting-part.

Guess I could use the rest-plugin but that only takes me half of the way (publishing).

@hek @Jacob-Moen @julian please look at this :
https://github.com/psychobunny/nodebb-plugin-blog-comments/pull/36

With a little copy and paste the code Mr. Sohrab, this feature was added to the plugin.

The plugin, by sending a xhs request received information from Wordpress or ghost as json file, now we have our information directly from the server initialization.
