Thank you very much, it worked, I had to modify the class .unread-count:after what I already had defined and to add the .unread-count as you have suggested
Help pulling user info
-
i want to make a menu for my home that has avatar, name, post count and reputation of the user logged in.
For some reason i just cant figure out how to do that, is there any global shortcodes or anything? -
does this help? http://community.nodebb.org/api/user/psychobunny
-
to get current user's name,
app.username
. then its just a simple matter of doing something like $.get -
O.o Interesting. @psychobunny thanks.

How about the same thing but for groups?
I need to find the gid of the admin group, is there a nice simple way of doing that? -
Not on the client side, but on server-side, you can run this:
var Groups = require('./groups'); Groups.getGidFromName('Administrators', function(err, gid) { console.log('admin group gid is', gid); });
getByGroupName
will also return the group object -
@julian Thanks. I was using that last night but i was trying client side and couldnt figure out why it wasnt working
-
Right-o -- group management is restricted to admin only, hence there are no public API endpoints for it.
If you are an admin, try this route:
/api/admin/groups
-
I feel like getting group membership should be publically available, so we could write a groups page for example, or give users labels depending on who they are. (ex. coloured username / badge for admins)

@julian
Got it with thissocket.emit('admin.groups.get', gid, function(err, groupObj) { });
Works like a charm.
