@akumbhare It will be available in v0.7.0.

@julianlam is already working on this, see this topic.

@esfandiar Yes, take a look at the write API plugin.

Well, no that doesn't work either as it just shows '{category_id}' in the console with no ID #. Rather interesting.

Hmm... there's always /nickserv identify, but I have absolutely zero idea how that even works.

What if you made your own bot that listened for private messages from users, and verified them? So all I had to do was /yourbot julian hunter2?

Then your bot would probably communicate with a companion plugin on our end to verify users by username/password... There's a possibly MITM issue present if you don't use HTTPS though... less so if everything is on one machine and you're communicating via localhost connections...

We have a system consisting of several server side Node.js components. We would like to integrate NodeBB in our system as the 'forum' server. Our client do not reside in a browser and they use some external protocol such as XMPP to communicate with our backend server.

We would have a server component that translates XMPP and then interface with NodeBB. There are two possibilities, one is to run NodeBB in the same Node.js runtime as our server. And the other is to run NodeBB in a separate Node,js runtime and have the server talk to NodeBB using some wire protocol.

What is the best way to achieve this? We could not find any document regarding any external APIs or protocol that can be used.
Thanks

Shouldn't this request be directed to Taptalk Inc? They seem to charge both the app user and the forum maintainer for "pro" features.

As this is an open source project, they're free to provide a NodeBB taptalk plugin and earn more money 😉
