Currently watching categories is opt-out. On forums having lots of new topics, this results in a huge number of items in example.com/unread. I think the unread page would be far more useful if watching categories was opt-in. That way /unread would contain only the items a user is interested in from the start and they won't have to go ignore a bunch of categories in order for /unread to become useful.
[Request] Standalone Comment System
-
Please read http://community.nodebb.org/topic/810 if you already haven't.
So I know there's already integration with Ghost and WordPress for comments that connect with NodeBB.
But I'm wondering if there is or would be a standalone project for NodeBB which, lets you put comment sections into plain HTML/CSS websites, or websites with PHP etc.
P.S I know NodeBB concentrates more on the community forum side, but I'm just saying it would make life a little easier, and more accessible.
-
Yup, definitely on my TODO list
WP integration isn't even complete yet, but you can expect both standalone + WP to be released at the same time (~0.4x) -
Awesome. Thanks for the answer bro.
-
When it becomes possible to use NodeBB as a commenting system for WP, is it going to be possible to import existing WP comments into the new commenting system?
-
We were looking into this for Disqus actually. One of those things that I can't tell you how easy it will be until I look into how WP comments look like
Probably would have to build something similar to what @bentael did with nodebb-plugin-import
-
I'm thinking that since WP comments are just plain text with a few URLs and bold and italicized text here and there, that it shouldn't be that much of an issue.
