Hi,

My website is developed using node.js as an express app. Could someone give me any pointers on how I could use NodeBB's user signup / auth system / user session in my express app too?

Is it possible to hook into the NodeBB app so it and my website app run in the same node process and share user session that way? Or would it be better to separate the node processes and communicate user info another way?

Me neither. Typical SSL key allows two parties to share information, the client and the server. Cloudflare's Universal SSL ups that to three, with CF acting as the middleman.

Yes, this is possible through limiting privilege of the various categories, as well as potentially a custom bit of javascript to redirect users to the login page.

That should be how it works right now. The staticDirs property maps an alias (the object key) to the actual system path.

For example:
staticDirs: { "foo": "bar" }
... will map the route 127.0.0.1:4567/plugins/nodebb-theme-myplugin/foo to /path/to/nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-theme-myplugin/bar

I believe I used express.static to route the directory, so any files added in after NodeBB has started should still be routed, since the parent directory was the one that was mounted.
