[nodebb-plugin-blog-comments] Blog Commenting Engine (Ghost, Wordpress widget)

julian

@yariplus Thanks for looking into this! I'll admit that yes, blog-comments doesn't get enough love

Let's chat offline about this, but by-and-large, checking "Allow HTML" in the Markdown plugin wouldn't be ideal, since that enables HTML across the board for ALL categories and ALL users, which I think is dangerous

There may be a way for NodeBB to take the input and insert HTML into the database, let's chat offline.

@phenomlab I forked our posts to a new topic.

Hi all, I have updated OP with the latest readme content, so it has the proper WP snippet now, at least.

phenomlab

@julian Thanks. Has the ghost snippet been changed also? The one included in the original post seems to be incorrect, but works if you use the snippet from Github

julian

@phenomlab yes, I replaced the entire contents of OP with the latest readme

kurulumu.Net

@julian

I can't get to the plugin settings page after the update.

julian

@kurulumu-net Did you ./nodebb build? That might help fix things.

phenomlab

@julian @baris I can confirm that I now experience the same issue as @kurulumu-Net since upgrading to the latest version of this plugin

<baris>

Thanks for reporting should be fixed in 0.8.3

phenomlab

@baris thanks. Will check shortly

@baris @julian does this plugin still work on NodeBB 1.19.3 ? I've not published an article for some time (last one was before the 1.19.3 upgrade which worked fine). I now get

No publish to NodeBB button, and certainly no comments

Any ideas ? All previously created posts seem to work fine. As a test, I created a new text only simple post, and that does not work either - same issue.

phenomlab

@baris @julian any thoughts please ? Would really like this to work

julian

@phenomlab yes, it should still work, we still use it for our blog, which is on WordPress now (as of late last year)

What version of the plugin?

phenomlab

@julian Latest version available.

phenomlab

@julian @baris this is still an issue for me in the sense that the error message remains the same as in my previous post.

I'm curious if anyone else can reproduce this, or is experiencing a similar issue ?

julian

@phenomlab Hmm... can you access the blog comments config page in the ACP? If it doesn't exist, then it suggests the plugin isn't running or didn't start up properly...

phenomlab

@julian yes, the page works. Previously created blog articles with comments are being displayed. As an example, if you look at https://content.sudonix.com and review any articles apart from the latest (about gradients and colors - this is the only one that doesn't work) you'll see what I mean.

<baris>

Can you post the output of db.objects.findOne({_key: "blog-comments"});

phenomlab

@baris response seems to be NULL

Also, I attempted to perform a complete reset

db.objects.deleteMany({ _key: "blog-comments" });

Which resulted in

{ "acknowledged" : true, "deletedCount" : 0 }

Something doesn't look right here. I'd expect the delete statement to be more than 0 ? The existing blog post comments are also still intact.
