I read different tutorial like this:

How to send alerts to users after user creation?

Hi @vatsal, I just forked your post The app object is only available client-side, so when you are on the server side listening for the action:user.create ho...

NodeBB Community (community.nodebb.org)

But for me it doesn't work. My purpose is when a user publics a post the program shows a message of welcome with some like app.alert, this is the code(library.js):

var websockets = module.parent.require('./socket.io');

//and in the method that captures the hook for the post i write

websockets.server.sockets.in('user/' + uid).emit('event:alert', {

					title: 'test',
					 message: 'something'

					});

The problem is that I don't see the alert so I'wroing something. Anyone can help me?

Try changing this part

websockets.server.sockets.in('user/' + uid)

to

websockets.in('uid_' + uid)
