  • Did you make a new blog post after upgrading plugin to 0.8.5? Can you send a link to it?

    Did you make a new blog post after upgrading plugin to 0.8.5? Can you send a link to it?

    Yes, here you go

  • Ok try with 0.8.6 and let me know.

  • @baris That works

    What changed ? It was working fine ?

  • It was due to an bug I introduced when I rewrote the plugin a while back, when there was no topic found on the nodebb side it was sending back 404, instead it needs to return 200 but an undefined topic id so it can display the publish article button.

  • @baris Great ! Thanks for fixing this.

  • @phenomlab No worries, thanks for reporting the issue.

  • Hi, i read all the posts on this topic and everyone is only talking about wordpress or ghost integration. Does the generic php version work?

    I get "Commenting is disabled" on posts, even if i'm currently signed in to the forum as admin.

    Besides the problems with CORS (browsers blocked the request and i took hours to find the right headers to let it work, as "accept origin *" is no more supported and it only accepts a single domain), I can't get it work.

    This is the json generated by the php code:

     articleID = "ID"; #i hardcoded this to ID for testing purposes, but change to a md5 hash it did not change the result
    var articleData ={
            "title_plain":"post title",
            "url":"https:\/\/www.example.com\/posts\/2023-04-23-test\/",
            "markDownContent":"post summary" #tags and category were omitted in my latest test, it did not change the result when they were present
        };
    

    so the javascript then does a request to https://forum.otherdomain.com/comments/get/ID/0 and the content of that request is:

    {
        "posts": [],
        "postCount": 0,
        "user": {
            "uid": 0,
            "username": "[[global:guest]]",
            "displayname": "[[global:guest]]",
            "userslug": "",
            "fullname": "[[global:guest]]",
            "email": "",
            "icon:text": "?",
            "icon:bgColor": "#aaa",
            "groupTitle": "",
            "groupTitleArray": [],
            "status": "offline",

        "token": "XXXXX",

        "mainPost": null,
        "atTop": true,
        "atBottom": false
    }
    

    and it only shows "Commenting is disabled".

    Console log does not show any other error (there were many errors until i fixed the CORS header issue on the proxy server)

    Maybe on modern browsers this kind of cross domain communication is forbidden? Meaning the forum should be on the same domain?

  • Forgot to mention that if i open that URL from the browser window I get the expected result in the JSON, the response contains

        "isAdmin": true,
        "isLoggedIn": true,
    

    It looks like if the browser does the request in the page via the javascript, could not access the cookies and so it gets a "logged out" json (but i tested on clean ms edge with no cookie blocking)

    Ps: i could not edit the other post because of a weird issue, I'm going to open another post to ask if this is intended behavior
