As far as I know, you get no email notifications -- yet! You get a notification about replies when you open the site though.
Theoretically email notifications can be build as a plugin. Would be better in core imo though.

^ I agree, core, and fire hooks for the nodebb-plugin-emailer-* just like registration, password reset, etc.

But about replies? that gets a little tricky, each "plugin" would either have to poll from it's service provider, not sure if that's possible on all, then theoretically, Topic.reply to the target topic.

Looks like there's a ThreadTools.getFollowers available though. Insert tid, get uids back

Do you support windows? I tried to setup node on windows, but I got some path issue in some plugin. I solved this issue, by coping some files from one folder to other. Application was working correct yesterday for me, but I get this error today:

D:\topcoder\tc_node_bb\poc\nodebb\src\logger.js:41
Logger.setup_one('loggerPath', meta.config.loggerPath);

Any idea?

edit

I forgot to run redis. Anyway this error is not meaningful.

The first error is

Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'd:\topcoder\tc_node_bb\poc\nodebb\node_modules\nodebb-plugin-mentions\static\plugins\nodebb-plugin-mentions\autofill.js'

but the real path is D:\topcoder\tc_node_bb\poc\nodebb\node_modules\nodebb-plugin-mentions\static\autofill.js

I had a similar issue when i installed it on windows. All i did was copy the files from the actual path into the one NodeBB wants. Had no problems since then but it might be worth raising an issue on Github.

I had to create

\static\plugins\nodebb-plugin-mentions\

and copy everything from

nodebb\node_modules\nodebb-plugin-mentions\static\

into there. I can get the exact files for you when I get home, if you want?

@Scuzz

Yes, I did that and it worked. Anyway someone should fixed it

Schamper

Weird... I'm on Windows and I'm not getting that.

Anyway someone should fixed it

(chuckle)

That style of script injection doesn't seem ideal anyhow -- may refactor it so that they can be defined straight in plugin.json

Scuzz

@Mr_Waffle I think this was in a fresh install with a

npm install

It happened when i deleted nodebb and re-installed it.

How to create custom icon in alternative login?

Currently there is something like this in css files

content: "\f082";
}```
Could someone explain how it works or provide some link?

sky

Another question.

in plugin I have settings something like meta.config['social:auth0:app_id']
How to output settings to js in client side? I solved this by making custom route, which returns JSON with settings, in client side I make Ajax call. Settings are static and how to do it without ajax?

@julian I did my own oauth plugin, I have button, menu, route etc, but I would like to have some different icon in alternative login list
For example how to define my own css class .fa-topcoder-square:before { content: "\f082"; } What is that \f082 here? How can I define new values?

Also my second question is not answered. Facebook, google oauth don't pass appId or other settings to client .js directly, but my plugin must do it. Is there some proper way to do that?

.fa- is a font-awesome class all available ones are here: http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/

sky

@xCausxn ok, thanks. I see it's not possible to create custom icon, right?

xCausxn

You could make a custom icon just by making a new class in the css file something like
.icon-topcoder {
background-image: url("http://cdn5.iconfinder.com/data/icons/Symbolicons_Transportation/24/Car.png");
background-position: center center;
width: whatever maybe 16px or 32px
height: same as what you put above
}

Or you could make a custom font file
