@nicolas - I have tried setting up a custom embed for Twitter per GitHub resource ref: community rules.

https://github.com/NicolasSiver/nodebb-plugin-ns-embed/blob/master/docs/community-rules.md#twitter

Yet it does not seem to work.

The Plugin itself works, for example YouTube embeds work perfectly and even the custom instagram rule also!

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated in advance. Thanks.

• running nBB 1.11.2
• npm 6.4.1

For twitter :

watch :

(?:<a.*?)?(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:twitter\.com)\/([^\/\"\s]*)\/status\/([^\/\"\s]*)(\/photo\/\d|)(?:.*?\/a>)?

replace :

<div class='embed-wrapper'>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><a href="https://twitter.com/$1/status/$2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"></a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> 	
</div>

@The-Worms Ok thanks for that but strangely I went to try this with the plugin and now its not working anymore. I had fresh nodeBB install and now it's hanging when selected in admin. I tried another nodeBB installation and same problem. Hmmm...

your log in mod development ?

./nodebb dev

./nodebb dev

I've since reinstalled and the log error - Missing key in translation token "text is gone.

The dev log spit a large recurring error out, but in summary:

error: uncaughtException: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use 0.0.0.0:4567

[The Worms]

./nodebb stop
./nodebb dev

for error missing translation is not disturbing for nodebb

[omega]

Might this be a permission issue with npm or plugin folder?

While poking around in sftp - I noted that all plugins and themes are located in the /node_modules directory but also the public/build/plugins - this contains only three of the primary plugins.

[The Worms]

you don't start nodebb in root?

chown -R omega:omega ~/nodebb_path

[omega]

@The-Worms said in [nodebb-plugin-ns-embed] NS Embed:

chown -R omega:omega ~/nodebb_path

Setup was done under root user afaik.

[omega]

Hmmm after running chown I saw this internal error.

/templates?

[The Worms]

npm remove nodebb-plugin-ns-embed

And

npm install nodebb-plugin-ns-embed

[The Worms]

commands like git and ./nodebb should not be used with root access (sudo or elevated privileges). It will cause problems with different ownership of files NodeBB needs access to

Ok thank you - I'll create a sudo user and then re-run the installation from scratch.

Due to all the fantastic help available from this great nodeBB community - the above original solution as posted by @The-Worms to my problem, I can now confirm works beautifully!

@The-Worms Thanks, works fine!

We've installed this plugin and it works fine (thank you !!!). However, we've noticed that users can't post a youtube/instagram/etc. link without it being automatically embedded, even if they use the "link" option on the composer. (This option is useful when you want to post a list of youtube links but don't want embedded videos taking up the whole page.) Is there any way to prevent that from happening ?
