I haven't tested but I'm pretty sure, given the experiences of others here, that the actual cause of my NodeBB breakage was dbsearch 0.0.16, so while it's awkward to be told there are all of these upgrades available, I don't think the problem was nbbpm, just a bad plugin.
SSO-Twitter
-
Hi Folks. I just installed NodeBB on Heroku, and i can't seem to get the SSO-twitter plugin to work, even after I restart. In fact, I can't get any of plugins to work. Changing themes and skins works fine.
Anyone know what might be wrong?
Thanks in advance. -

I'm kinda new with nodebb but i guess i can help you. Did you get some kind of error when you try to active them or nothing happend?

@NiLord Thanks.
So, no errors, but nothing happens. I go through the "Install" and "Activate" process for SSO-Twitter, and a popup tells me to restart. But when I do, the plugin page just seems to reset, showing SSO-Twitter as Uninstalled. -
Did you restart it using the restart button in ACP or did you do it through console?

I tried both. I had to restart the Heroku "dyno" to get different themes to work, but that doesn't help with plugins.
-
@will Heroku dynos are finicky. To "install" a plugin, you'll actually have to add it to the
package.jsonfile and commit it to the repository, as every time you restart your dyno, everything gets wiped clean. -
@julian aha! Thanks very much, Julian; I'll give that a try!
-
@julian yep, that works. thanks again.

no email in twitter's sso implementation!?!?!? boooo twitter...
-
Unfortunately not -- I wish! I believe there's no way to get email from the Twitter endpoints, unless something has changed recently.
-
@julian You are correct. Twitter doesn't provide a means to get the email, and it doesn't look like they are planning on doing it anytime soon.

OAuth without user email ...
I had noticed after having developped a module Twitter OAuth, GrrrApparently I'm not alone lol
