Theme Plugin Compatibility List

General Discussion
  • P

    Is there a complete list of what is compatible (themes/plugins) with the latest stable version of nodebb (0.5.1) or is nodebb still too early for production? Really want to give nodebb a chance but if it means more headaches upgrading from each minor version I prefer to skip and circle back later on when it reaches version 1.0.0. In the meantime, I'm willing to continue to play and test leading up the magical milestone. Thoughts?

    On our list of things "todo", revamping the NodeBB plugin manager is one of those. Compatibility has always been an annoying thing to work around, so the RFC as it stands now empowers plugin developers to specify versions of their plugin for different versions of NodeBB.

    @jsmith
    The changes need to be made to the files of a Persona theme, found the directory like this:

    /path/to/your/nodebb-folder/node_modules/nodebb-theme-persona/templates/

    I was try to do this on my forum and I did it, this is what you need to do:

    tags-in-topic.png

    You need edit 2 files - topic.tpl and post.tpl

    /node_modules/nodebb-theme-persona/templates/topic.tpl /node_modules/nodebb-theme-persona/templates/partials/topic/post.tpl Copy and remove this code in the topic.tpl <div class="tags tag-list inline-block hidden-xs"> <!-- IMPORT partials/topic/tags.tpl --> </div> Paste this in the post.tpl after {posts.content}

    <div class="content" component="post/content" itemprop="text">
    {posts.content}

    <div class="tags tag-list inline-block hidden-xs"> <!-- IMPORT partials/topic/tags.tpl --> </div>

    </div>

    Now run the command to build Nodebb and that's it, ready.

    UPD.

    (note that when the screen size is a mobile phone the tag is not even displayed in the post/header.)

    Yes, you right. To show tags on mobile you need remove hidden-xs in the div class.

    <div class="tags tag-list inline-block"> <!-- IMPORT partials/topic/tags.tpl --> </div>

    @Gaurav-Grv-Robinson It looks like NodeBB uses the nodemailer package under the covers, but the UI may only present SMTP transport options.

    Your best bet is to use an SMTP server that's configured to listen/login/relay email on your behalf, this is a little different than a mail spooling system that in the end may relay, or otherwise send directly. If you have an inbound mail server that also has smtp for outbound, use that.

    I tend to just use SendGrid (hosted SaaS mail delivery) for my outbound emails, because delivery rates come out much better. There are other services, and depending on where you are hosting, they may offer one.

    Activating my own custom theme...

    Hi guys,

    I'm newbie to the Nodebb and currently I'm trying to play around with creating a new theme.
    I've downloaded the repo from Quickstart theme.
    I've added the nodebb-them-quickstart folder to the node_modules folder.
    When I go to the admin page and load all the available themes, my new theme is listed under the installed themes.
    After selecting it, it says that I should restart NodeBB to fully activate the selected theme.
    After I do that and after I refresh admin page, I'm in situation where previously active them is still the active one.
    In other words new custom theme is not activated.
    This is the case with every theme I made.
    But when I switch to the nodebb-theme-lavander, everything goes fine.
    I'm really struggling to make this happen with my own custom theme.
    I would be very thankful if some would tell me what is going on.

    Hi @Netto-Hikari, thanks for your feedback about our upgrade process 😄 We definitely try to make the upgrade process fluid and straightforward, but if files have been changed, then yes, there will be problems as git will not know how to handle changed files.

    Re:

    When it comes to upgrades, I just simply follow the docs and it always says that I have to commit the changes before.

    Did you mean Step 3? As far as I know, the only thing we ask admins to do before upgrading is back up their data. If you have never changed any of the core files, git should never complain.

    If this ever happens, and you are absolutely sure you didn't change anything, then you are advised to run the following:

    $ git fetch # to grab the latest code (but not apply it) $ git reset --hard origin/v0.5.x # force your local files to match the NodeBB repository *EXACTLY* $ ./nodebb upgrade # then proceed with upgrade as usual

    ^ Hooray, more unsolicited advice from strangers on the internet 😄

    After running those commands, future attempts to git pull should not have git complain.
