Discourse vs. NodeBB can be a flame war, but we have chosen NodeBB because of underlying MongoDb and Node.js. This tech stack help us to hack it.

Sure. I research both of these engines in order to understand in which cases one is better than the other. Both have strengths and weaknesses. Both engines have different development strategies. Let's say the NodeBB's strongest side is speed and minimum resource requirements. This is critical for many cases. Any holy war is a luxury for those who have nothing to do.
I think that engines need to borrow each other’s best practices.

Hate to be a freerider but was this bounty claimed/implemented? Thank you Windy for posting the bounty..

@ilblog @julian
I'm interested in using this plugin. However, it's a bit unclear to me how it works. Once it's installed I get the following options in the plugins menu:

How do I use these settings to allow the top post in a specific category to be edited by everyone?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

We just tried to install this plugin too!

Is it still under development ? We installed it and looks like the file for the admin part is not available..

Error: Failed to lookup view "admin/plugins/knowledge-base" in views directory "/opt/nodebb/build/public/templates"

This site does not work..

For all this coming in, the admin page is actually a stub (let me remove it now)...

It exposes a new category-level privilege allowing you to enable wiki mode on a category.

DesT

@julian Did you push a new "version" release ?

julian

@DesT Not yet, but the functionality of the plugin is unchanged, so it should still work... what's the problem?

DesT

@julian That's ok! I figured it out that the problem is just in the ACP and the plugin works anyway

I can not load the plugin settings page.
It is charged again and again (with the circle and the blue stripe) and does not end ...

Even if the management page is in English (usually in Hebrew like the rest of the forum)

@אשר I have the same problem. The plugin settings do not work

dunlix

@volanar you could just make a category and change the priveledges to allow anyone to modify any post

volanar

@dest This is not a wiki. The wiki has a history of changes, as well as accepting or rejecting changes

julian

@volanar The plugin as it currently stands does not support those things, it just exposes a privilege that lets anyone modify OP.

Additional functionality can be sponsored via [email protected]

@אשר I have the same problem. The plugin settings do not work

Oh also -- the plugin settings don't do anything, you can safely ignore them.

@julian I need to think about what functions the plugin should have and I will write to you. I understand that supporting third-party plugins takes a lot of time and resources. There are a lot of plugins and each user can not always contact you. Maybe for such purposes, open an account on https://opencollective.com so that users can make donations to support third-party plugins and support nodebb in general. You can decide by voting on this forum which plugins and new functions need to be finalized first. I think it will be an interesting and useful experience for the nodebb community and the development of the platform.
Personally, I am ready to make constant donations, as well as many users.

@volanar you can see posts’ edit history and restore different edits as admin. You can even see who edited it. What’s in the plugin you are talking about is already in core, most likely why it’s outdated or something.
