[nodebb-plugin-blog-comments] Blog Commenting Engine (Ghost, Wordpress widget)
-
I decided to install a fresh copy of ghost and NodeBB to see what's up.
The plugin does technically work, but you need to use the script in the README/git and not the one on this page which is outdated.
Correct script:
<a id="nodebb-comments"></a> <script type="text/javascript"> var nbb = {}; nbb.url = '//your.nodebb.com'; // EDIT THIS nbb.cid = 1; // OPTIONAL. Forces a Category ID in NodeBB. // Omit it to fallback to specified IDs in the admin panel. (function() { nbb.articleID = '{{../post.id}}'; nbb.tags = [{{#../post.tags}}"{{name}}",{{/../post.tags}}]; nbb.script = document.createElement('script'); nbb.script.type = 'text/javascript'; nbb.script.async = true; nbb.script.src = nbb.url + '/plugins/nodebb-plugin-blog-comments/lib/ghost.js'; (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(nbb.script); })(); </script> <script id="nbb-title" type="text/markdown">{{../post.title}}</script> <script id="nbb-markdown" type="text/markdown">{{../post.markdown}}</script> <noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view comments</noscript>After that, commenting it works great.
HOWEVER, the bigger issue is, ghost no longer uses Markdown, but HTML. So the article content doesn't show up on NodeBB.
You can change the script to use
{{../post.content}}in place of{{../post.markdown}}to feed the HTML to NodeBB, but you will also need to turn Allow HTML on in the Markdown plugin.Then it works.

@yariplus Thanks for looking into this! I'll admit that yes, blog-comments doesn't get enough love
Let's chat offline about this, but by-and-large, checking "Allow HTML" in the Markdown plugin wouldn't be ideal, since that enables HTML across the board for ALL categories and ALL users, which I think is dangerous
There may be a way for NodeBB to take the input and insert HTML into the database, let's chat offline.

@baris @julian does this plugin still work on NodeBB 1.19.3 ? I've not published an article for some time (last one was before the 1.19.3 upgrade which worked fine). I now get
No publish to NodeBB button, and certainly no comments
Any ideas ? All previously created posts seem to work fine. As a test, I created a new text only simple post, and that does not work either - same issue.
