Forcing UID value

[baris]

Gotto do it when you create the user, so same place as you set it in user hash.

@baris
I suppose after user creation ... as i don't understand how i should pass uid before having it ...

[baris]

Yes, you should be able to do it in action:user.create

[Simos]

@baris how can i do for already existent user who already have auid but only in hash ?

[baris]

You need to load the value from the user hash and call db.sortedSetAdd('auid:uid', uid, auid, callback);

@baris my problem problem is :

how i can call db.sortedSetAdd('auid:uid', uid, auid, callback); on action:user.create ? i don't have uid until user is already created.

i mean some command to do it using redis-cli

action:user.create

This hook is fired after user is created, if you need to set it for users that are already in the database you need to go through them with a script and call it.

\o/ I've finally get the plugin work !!! Thanks a lot to all for your patience.
I'll publish soon it on github with a readme and instruction to have user login check rest api with anope IRC services, hoping it will be useful for someone

@baris wich action hook i can use to fix existent users and apply db.sortedSetAdd('auid:uid', uid, auid, callback); for them ?
this is my full plugin https://github.com/SimosNap/nodebb-plugin-login-anope

Hooks won't let you fix existing users, you need to write custom script to run through all the users and fix the association.

You can use this template

/*globals require, console, process */
'use strict';

var nconf = require('nconf');
var async = require('async');

nconf.file({
	file: 'config.json'
});

nconf.defaults({
	base_dir: __dirname,
	views_dir: './build/public/templates',
});

var db = require('./src/database');

db.init(function(err) {
	if (err) {
		console.log("NodeBB could not connect to your database. Error: " + err.message);
		process.exit();
	}

	fixAssociation(function (err) {
		if (err) {
			console.error(err);
			process.exit();
		}
		console.log('done');
		process.exit();
	});
});

function fixAssociation(callback) {
// implement code
}

@baris thanks.

I've just 2 new problems :

• https://github.com/SimosNap/nodebb-plugin-login-anope/blob/master/library.js#L116
  it look it can't change email what's wrong ?

• on IRC nicknames can also contain same special chars for example "nick`out" , i've seen that if an user switch to one of this nickname, i've seen that nodebb preserve the old username, any suggestion for this ?

Does nodebb make some check on invalid emails ?
