NodeBB as SSO

    Two questions, are these features already available via some plugins or any chances of incorporating them?

    1. importing all the existing users and members from wordpress database to nodebb
    2. use nodebb as SSO for new registrations in wordpress so that members already registered via nodebb can automatically login to WordPress.

    These above two features combined with @bentael 's under construction wordpress import plugin, I guess, might become a complete package for integrating with existing wordpress blogs.

    members already registered via nodebb can automatically login to WordPress.

    that's not an included feature? the idea discussed here is a solution to allow users already registered in WP to convert their passwords into NodeBB, as a 1 time thing.

    Hmm that's also enough, because once the wordpress users have beennporyed to nodebb, wordpress can be closed for new registrations and nodebb can be used for that purpose.

    @bentael so let me sum this up, the plugin will be able to

    1. Export wordpress posts in to a category in to nodebb
    2. Export the wordpress comments to their corresponding posts in nodebb
    3. Export the wordpress users to nodebb database
      Am I right?
      Also is this database dependent, like will this export be possible even if we are using mongodb as the nodebb database?

    your summary sounds correct.

    And yes, the NodeBB database is independent, you can use MongoDB

    You can probably do it with a cron job and an sh script

    @julian said in NodeBB as Blogg platform:

    There are lots of people who ask about whether NodeBB can be used as a blog, or a CMS, etc... as usual, our response is that NodeBB is best used as a forum. However, custom-pages works in a pinch to enable CMS-like functionality (if a little cumbersome), though at this time I don't believe there is a plugin that enabled blog-type functionality.

    Best bet would be to set up Ghost (another awesome Node.js project!) and link up the two with nodebb-plugin-blog-comments 😄

    Ok, here is how I perceive this. It's a matter of perception and orientation.

    What is a blog fundamentally?

    Maybe it's like a forum with only 1 user! - Ok lets say it is.

    So when you land on that 1 user forum, what do you first see?

    Why a summary of the most recent posts titles, and a few lines of each posts with a click to read more option.

    Is any or all of this something nodeBB is not able to do?

    The answer to me really seems to be NO! Well that's good right?!

    How about something like this in ACP:

    General > Hompage > Homepage Route > Blog (new w/options)

    Simple Blog option in Admin:

    Assign user/s. (now they can only create new topics in that category) Display post Title Only - T/F Display Title & Post Summary - T/F If Summary, display first; 1-10 (more or full post) Allow users to post moment T/F (default no)

    If this is not already possible using a combo of current "custom" home page route and theme adjustments, then how about a native implementation for even the basic functionality?

    NodeBB is a very capable platform and the persona theme out of the box is excellent. Possibly my favourite of all forums.

    Going a little further, the native aspect might see that the typical forum buttons and paraphenalial may not be switched on/for this section to give it more of a blog look, with possibility for at least a link to the "forum" - thus giving a very clean and speak landing page look, to differentiate between blog type content and the rest of the forum.

    Open an issue on Github, please. We can more easily track things there.

    even more, now the wordpress gallery shortcodes are supported, with the old post ids, i.e. [gallery ids="123,456,789"] shortcodes can be converted to, either, <img> tags, if you want a gallery plugin, you can then use @psychobunny's nodebb-plugin-gallery, or you can just convert the ids to full URLs which then you can use within your own plugin.

    Shouldn't this request be directed to Taptalk Inc? They seem to charge both the app user and the forum maintainer for "pro" features.

    As this is an open source project, they're free to provide a NodeBB taptalk plugin and earn more money 😉
