how many category can create by nodeBB?

[Hidayat Rachmat]

is there a limit for create category? i tried to add more but it seems cannot create more category.

There shouldn't be a limit. Are you encountering any console/javascript errors?

[Hidayat Rachmat]

yup, i tried to add and modifying existing category but it failed. i also got trouble with my redis, i think i will use mongo as my DB than redis, i prefer use redis only for cache ing or as message broker.

is there any how to install with mongoDB?
i try to set user and password in mongo and run node app.js --setup and choose mongo as my db but also failed. may be nodebb need specific database name?

thanks for your response

@julian Sorry for reviving an old topic. However it seems that I've a case where we are hitting the limits of maximum number of categories.

We have about 4.5k categories, one for each movie. Is there a way to lazy load the categories view and also limit api calls for speed on other views?

@fais3000 The changes to the categories are going to avaiable in 1.17.0. Will be interesting to see how it affects the performance on your forum. See this post for links to changes required in custom themes https://community.nodebb.org/post/81290
