[nodebb-plugin-blog-comments] Blog Commenting Engine (Ghost, Wordpress widget)
-
@psychobunny After confirming that the new setup worked perfectly with the plugin, I configured the WordPress install and tried publishing the series of posts I had lined up. Again, I got this as a response:
{"error":"Unable to post topic"}After rocking back and forth in the corner for a minute or so, I figured out what the issue was this time around.
I didn't realize that the plugin carried over the tags from the WP post, and every post I was trying to publish over to NodeBB had >5 tags, which led to NodeBB rejecting the new topic. I simply increased the default max # of tags allowed in the NodeBB ACP, and voila - problem solved.Thought I'd post this in case it can save anyone else a bit of time in the future!
-
Ah. Good catch. There are a few other gotchas ex. if the title was too short. Happy to get some PRs on this otherwise I'll do a better error page next time I update this
-
hmm it was working for some time now again I am back to the same situation where when I try to enable on a blog post I get {"error":"Unable to post topic"} and in the nodebb logs all I see it's 6/2 13:31 [20304] - warn: [nodebb-plugin-blog-comments] Origin (undefined) does not match hostUrls: https://z0z0.me
-
aparently the increasing the number of comments worked for me too.
-
@psychobunny Quick question - in what file would I be able to change the source image for the default avatar shown (before a user is logged in/registered)? Having a hard time locating it. Thanks again!
-
@psychobunny Is the plugin pulling the image source from WordPress' core files, or is the source image set in the plugin files themselves?
-
You can modify it here: https://github.com/psychobunny/nodebb-plugin-blog-comments/blob/master/public/templates/comments/comments.tpl#L7
Although I should probably update it to use the new letter icons
-
@psychobunny thank you! As always, much appreciated.
-
Trying to get this working, having some success.
Problems I discovered:
-
Some replies silently fail. The problem was I was entering posts that are too short for nodebb's minimum post length setting. Workaround: reduce this size in nodebb settings.
-
BUG: I am testing on page (see below) with no content, and no excerpt, and the javascript blows up on translator.firstChild.innerHTML when the excerpt is empty, because there is no firstChild.
One limitation I discovered:
- Page support: I am trying to use comments on pages (not posts), and I am getting an "Unable to access API. Please install the JSON API" in my browser console, but it is installed. If I try swapping ?json=get_post&post_id=118 for ?json=get_page&page_id=118 in a manual browser request, it works. But I see public/lib/wordpress.js only uses get_post. How hard would this feature be to add?
- Ok I started taking a shot at it by using the implicit mode on the API: ?json=118. Then instead of making articleData *.post in wordpress.js, take .page if post is null.
- This seems to work, except then I get redirected to https://example.com/my-page-slug/#nodebb/comments -- not sure what's going on here.

Ok, I feel a bit silly: it was just scrolling down to an area that was all white, because I had my comment input below the comments, and the nodebb/comments element is after this (BUG! I think nodebb/comments should be above where the comments start, no matter how the comment box setting is set. But I will probably set that setting back because the ordering is reverse and I don't know how to change that (Limitation). Edit: I changed it but it still seems to be scrolling really low, making the user think that the page is blank. This doesn't seem good!)

Does this plugin works with the latest version of nodebb? After I have upgraded the nodebb to 1.1.0 I can no longer see the comments on my blog. However they are still there in the nodebb.
-
Yes, it's working on this site: https://blog.nodebb.org/nodebb-v1-1-0-release/
AFAIK no hooks or anything related to publishing and commenting have changed since the last minor version
-
@psychobunny Interesting. Any idea why suddenly after updating the nodebb all the comments from my ghost ware gone? I mean on the Ghost site cause I can still see them in the nodebb.

Any suggestion on how to debug it to eventually make it show up on the ghost posts?
-
Can I have any help on making this working again? I have done everything what it is in the documentation and it's not working since I have upgraded to v1.1.0 and I had to add
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;to the nginx. ` -
Any errors in the browser console?
