What is the best way to write to the notes field of a flag? I am writing a plugin that when a post/user is flagged it will send the information to a ticketing system and return a ticket id. I want to write that ID to the flag and close the flag.
So now, I have questions to the NodeBB development team. @julian
About @frissdiegurke 's idea.
What do you think? Is it secure or do you have any better ideas, policies , plans?
To manage dependencies between plugin,
Can we enforce to install and activate plugins by dependencies?
Or can we give warnings of wrong configurations, dependencies and so on by plugin on admin UI ( dash board? )?
Do we have secure way to add/remove/modify custom data by plugin in a filtering pipe?
For example, on filtering hook, data.pluginData.<plugin name> can be always for plugins (means some sure for core will not use it for different reason!! ), whether they are removed or not after filtering. I know if I select good name( random or highly uniq), then it will be quite safe but it will be better if we have an official space.
If I want to make a npm module which is dedicated to NodeBB while it's not a plugin, then what is good name for. Maybe nodebb-helper-any-name. It may be for individual plugins.
I had one more, but I forgot what was it while writing....
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
