@jiangcaiyang MySQL. I guess I need to read some articles on how MongoDB is different to get started on this.

This will prevent users without the proper group membership from accessing the category and downloading the file. It will also ensure that the download can only happen from my site. In this way, if a user's membership status is changed, then he wouldn't be able to access the file by accessing the S3 object url.

I don't believe you can do that since what you're asking for is using server side code on the client. To do that, the entire stack would need to be available on the client and everything it does. Basically running NodeBB on the client.

What you could do is set up your own socket and return the desired data that way.

In your library.js file:
const pluginSockets = require.main.require('./src/socket.io/plugins'); // This will add to the sockets object used by NodeBB core pluginSockets.customFunc = ((socket, dataDoToFetch, done) => { const response = 'This response is only a string but it can be whatever you want'; done(null, response); });
Then client side:
socket.emit('plugins.customFunc', dataDoToFetch, (err, data) => { if (err) console.log('My socket customFunc', err, data); else console.log('Do stuff with this', data); });
I cannot guarantee that this will work out of the box since my setup involves a bit more complexity, but this is the basic idea. Give it a shot!
How to have forum use a custom email plugin over default ones in list?

Hello,
I have begun work on a custom email plugin, and while looking at some others that are available to see how they went about things I noticed that all of the available plugins (at least that I have found so far) already have an entry in the email setup list, regardless of if you have downloaded the associated plugin for that service (ex. Sendgrid, Mailgun, etc).

So my questions is, if I have a custom email plugin, how exactly would I go about making it selectable / usable by the forum? Does it need to be present in the default email list? Is there a way to have my plugin inject itself into that list of providers or is there a way to override that list so that the forum knows not to use the credentials and settings in there, but instead use the ones in the plugin?

The only real switch I have found is the "Use an external email server to send emails", which I would imagine that if it is turned off, that would not be much help either.

If anyone has any insight on how the system works in regards to this and can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it!

Thanks,
-MH

You have to create an acp page for managing your plugin.
For a basic example just look at how the quickstart plugin implements its panel, and look for plugins that have a panel similar to what you want to do.
