Adding custom fields to edit.tpl

Plugin Development

magnusvhendin Swedes last edited by magnusvhendin

Hi all!
I was wondering if there's a simple way to add my custom fields (from the ns-custom-fields plugin) to the regular edit.tpl. I'm making a private forum aimed at professionals and would really love it if I could have everything in one place.

What I'm currently looking to add is Company, Title and possible some more in the future.

An idea I have is to just put them in the available form and then using the custom-fields "API" in the backend (on save) to store them separately.

Any ideas are welcome.

Sorry to tag you (@Nicolas, the creator) but I believe you can answer this question quite easily.

Thanks!

Hello, I modified the post.tpl to my liking and added some more elements and stuff.

When I use composer to make a new post in a topic, it works just fine, I get the post.tpl I modified, but when I try to edit any of the posts in the topic, it looks like the default post.tpl file.

What am I doing wrong here?

@Maddoctor can you try setting Admin relogin duration to 0 in your ACP and try again. I created an issue for this https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/9063
barisusakli created this issue in NodeBB/NodeBB closed middleware.admin.checkPrivileges redirects admin to local login even if they don't have a local password #9063

Using only the currently logged in nodebb user and minecraft player.

Two routes needed:
Server-only route: POST route. Requires a unique key parameter. Only the forum and the minecraft server know the key. e.g. /mc/link?key=key User route: GET route. Used to link accounts, requires a UUID and a unique player key. e.g. /mc/link/:uuid/:key
Minimum two DB keys need:
{uuid}:key String key, stores the unique player key for the UUID. (Could also be a hash to store additional data.) user:{uid}:uuid String key, stores the UUID linked to the user. (Could also be stored on the user hash, or made into a set for multiple linkings.) Process: Minecraft player types a command. Server users server-only route to tell the forum it needs a registration link. Sending the unique key to verify the request is valid. Forum creates a unique player key and stores it in the DB, then sends the player key to the server. Server gives a link to the player, using the unique player key and the players' UUID. User visits link, if the user is logged in, and the uuid-key pair matches what is already in the DB, then the accounts are linked, using additional DB entries. The player key is deleted. Concerns: The player key should expire relatively quickly, like 5 minutes. Invalid requests to the user route should be monitored and blocked after a low threshold, like 3 tries. NodeBB middleware already validates the logged in user, which is why we do no additional checks. Note:
On the last line in the diagram, I send a confirmation message, but we can't actually do this because we have not established a persistent connection. You could solve this by either having an http server on the server, or creating a socket connection to the forum.

Or you could use Minecraft-Integration 😉

@pitaj Many thanks for your effort 🙏

Okay so I just npm link'ed my plugin again so I thought some file will be updated. But they weren't.

Here is my full source code of libary.js:
'use strict'; /* NodeBB Basic Plugin Libraries */ const controllers = require('./lib/controllers'); const plugin = {}; /* Third Party Libraries */ const Discord = require("discord.js"); const fs = require("fs"); // Nodebb Discord Bot const config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("./utils/config.json", "utf-8")); var client = new Discord.Client(); let debug = true; plugin.init = function (params, callback, client) { myDebug("nodebb-discord-bot-started"); callback(); }; function myDebug(msg){ if(debug){ console.log(msg); } } module.exports = plugin; 2021-01-12T10:46:19.318Z [4567/4689] - error: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open './utils/config.json' at Object.openSync (fs.js:462:3) at Object.readFileSync (fs.js:364:35) at Object.<anonymous> (/home/ubuntu/nodebb-linked-modules/nodebb-plugin-makesmart-discord-bot/library.js:15:30) at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:999:30) at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1027:10) at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:863:32) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:708:14) at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:887:19) at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:74:18) at Object.Plugins.requireLibrary (/home/ubuntu/nodebb/src/plugins/index.js:70:39)
I tried it with path again:
// Nodebb Discord Bot var configpath = path.join(__dirname, 'utils', 'config.json'); const config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(configpath, "utf-8")); var client = new Discord.Client();
an suddenly ... it worked! o.O

I think it was really because I ran npm link again. Funny.* I'm sorry. Most of the time, the problem is in front of the computer. 🙄

But still a strange behavior in my opinion. Well ... Good to know for the future. @PitaJ as mentioned thank you for you effort. 🙏

For any others having the same issue:
Read the Stackoverflow Solution posted by @PitaJ right here If it still not work use npm link in ./nodebb again to refresh something in the plugin folder ...I dont know tbh ... 😄
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
