I'm a developer but new to nodebb. I want to display some post-specific content in the footer of that post, so I need to access the post ID via Javascript and update some view. Any pointers/tips would be appreciated.

On a real life forum
I can already see you standing in front of a board. Anyhow besides my terrible joke I know you can keep the post alive by pressing the + on the bottom right of the screen to keep the post alive, but as far as I know there is no guarantee that it will save it for longer periods. I also think that this can be done as a plugin.
Yeah.. I with you there and can totally understand the point to a streaming forum like nodebb, still we all make mistakes and this would be a nice addition. Would save so much typing
When I remove enctype="multipart/form-data" from the form in registerComplete.tpl it works. So this has to do with encryption and maybe that I don't have HTTPS on my local machine. So then my question is, why is this not on the form that transmits the username and password?

Maybe should show some information as to why it's your best post? E.g. views/replies/upvotes.
I imagine it's purely based on upvotes. None of NodeBB's subjective algorithms are complex in any way, really (mainly talking about "popular" here)
@osirisguitar You may want to try my plugin featured-topics-extended, it comes with the widget Featured Topics List, which displays a list of topics just as they would appear on the category page. Admins can select exactly which topics to display in the Topic Tools menu when visiting a topic.
Here is an example with two topics selected.
@Giorgio-Chiodi thanks
For now @psychobunny suggested to store JSON data in the post content. This will work if the post data is filtered for client display, and read for updates when sent to the server. This can be used to maintain a separate index of objects described in posts. For example, geolocations can be indexed in its own database for optimized queries. A post might have multiple associated geolocations, or several GeoJSON "shapes".
{ hash: { x: 'y', z: 3}, array: [0.5,"b"], number: 0.2 }
Can Categories be considered a special kind of Tag? The main difference I see is that Topics can only appear in one Category though.
