Nicknames

  • LockeL

    I'm using considering NodeBB for a roleplaying forum with some friends, and I was wondering whether it might be possible (or if there's already a plugin) to allow users to set a category-specific nickname. For instance, user pants0nf1re is playing in a D&D game hosted on the site, with the character name of Fandrelas the Wise. He's also playing in a sci-fi campaign, with the character name Jason Thompson. Would there be a way to let him post as Fandrelas the Wise on the D&D threads and as Jason Thompson on the sci-fi threads?

    This started out as a private Discord server with one game, where both the players and the GM could have their character name as a nickname, but we've started branching out and allowing other games onto the server, making things a little more confusing.

    Thanks in advance. 🙂

    Yeah not sure if there is enough demand to put this in core, but fairly simple to do in a plugin. Create a new route like @julian suggested and then rewrite the url to the latest topic.

    routeHelpers.setupPageRoute(router, '/latest', async (req, res, next) => { const db = require.main.require('./src/database'); const tid = await db.getSortedSetRevRange('topics:tid', 0, 0); req.url = res.locals.isAPI ? `/api/topic/${tid}` : `/topic/${tid}`; next(); });

    Then you can set your homepage to latest and it will show the latest topic as homepage.

    @julian thank you for your answer. I agree that stripe is probably better siuted for this, the only thing is, that here in germany the usage of paypal is much bigger than credit cards, which is the primary payment method for stripe i think.

    Personally i would like to see a plugins for the integration with encrypted messaging services like IRC and XMPP.
    The nodeBB should be a "relay point" serving all those incoming messages and sending back the responses from users.

    Then we need working poll voting plugin, which can be used anonymously in tor network and in normal internet.

    Then plugin which actually play video in the topic like flash player in former times of youtube, current plugins play videos but not as embedded video player.

    If you can, yes... that would work if you had the session uuid, which you might not.

    Essentially, when you use SSO to log in a user via a third-party authenticator, NodeBB is maintaining that session, not the other site. That's why it's not assumed behaviour that if you log out of the other site, that you also log out of NodeBB.

    If the user wants to log out of the forum, they'd have to log out themselves via the NodeBB logout button.

    That said, in the end the logout is literally just a POST request... so in your site, you could code in a XHR that calls POST https://your.nodebb.site/logout and that would log out the user 😄
