Let's keep a list of NodeBB installations here :

If you are running your own NodeBB let us know we will add it to the list!

Just merged the group-chat branch into master, it will be available in our next release which will most likely be 1.0.0.

There are some breaking changes and schema changes in this merge.

The upgrade script will go through all the chat messages and assign them to rooms. This might take a while depending on how many chats messages there are in the system. The upgrade script should show the progress in the console.

For all the changes check out this PR https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/pull/3968/files

I have run some tests to check the memory usage.

The redis INFO command was reporting 811kb at the beginning since I was running the tests on db1. An empty NodeBB installation starts with roughly 405kb of memory usage.

start 811.44 kb

**Users **
100 users 1.04M diff (254kb) per user = 2.54kb
1000 users 3.61M diff( 2,885kb) per user = 2.885kb
10000 users 29.88M diff( 29,786kb) per user = 2.97kb

Posts (500 chars each)
336 posts 30.71M diff(849kb) per post = 2.52kb
996 posts 32.70M diff(2,887kb) per post = 2.89kb
9995 posts 54.39M diff (25,098kb) per post = 2.51kb

The memory usage per user is roughly 3kbs at 10,000 users. This value goes up as we have other structures that grow as the user count grows.

The memory usage per post is about 2.5kbs per post, keep in mind the posts I created are all 500 characters long.

So for 2,000,000 posts and 400,000 users :

2,000,000 x 2.5kb + 400,000 x 3kb = 5.9gb

So theoretically 6gb should be enough.

Hope that helps.

We recently added a new system group called Global Moderators, this group has access to the moderator tools but can't access the ACP. They can also ban users. We will let this group see banned users and flagged posts as well.

We have assigned some users as global mods on this forum as well https://community.nodebb.org/groups/global-moderators.

If you think we missed someone or you want to be a global mod ask for it here.

NodeBB Plugin Browsing Users

This plugin shows who is currently viewing a topic. This was a core feature that we removed a while ago, now it is back as a plugin

Installation

npm install nodebb-plugin-browsing-users

More info at https://github.com/barisusakli/nodebb-plugin-browsing-users

Notes
Currently only persona supports this, if you want to add it to your custom theme make these changes.

Your best posts

This is just a simple theme based on persona that modifies the topic view with a sidebar.

Here is a screenshot when you are at the top of a topic.

Imgur

And here is one when scrolled down.

Imgur

The sidebar is a bootstrap affix so it is always visible when you scroll down, useful when using infinite scroll as well.

The sidebar also reduces the width of the posts so I find it easier to read compared to long horizontal lines.

Reply, sort by and watch are always visible previously they would go out of screen.

There is a lot more room for browsing user images.

You can install it with npm i nodebb-theme-peace

Just committed https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/7610c11cd1b9de53ce185227ab80f86d55d3bd69, this is a pretty big change even though it's just ~300 lines of code. It changes how we store the main post so that alternative sorting works.

If anyone decides to upgrade please make a backup of your database just incase something goes wrong, I have tested it on this forums dataset and it seemed OK but you never know :). Will do more testing as we get closer to 0.5.0.

There are 3 options to sort oldest to newest, newest to oldest and most votes. The sorting can be changed from a dropdown in the bar below the main post and it is saved as a user setting. The admin can also select a default setting from the ACP.

Let us know if you encouter any bugs.

backup database before upgrade!
upgrade script will take the first post of each topic and set the
`mainPid` property on the topic. then it will remove that pid from the
sorted sets for that topic, this was done to make alternative sorting
work.

added a new sorted set called `tid:<id>:posts:votes` that is used to
sort topic posts by vote count, the original sorted set `tid:<id>:posts`
is used to sort by oldest first or newest first.

the main post is added to the returned posts array on topic load and is
always at the top.
theme changes are minimal just a few new data properties on the posts
and the sorting dropdown.
hopefully didn't miss anything too critical.

Thanks to @Ben-Lubar we now have replies to posts. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/pull/5050

Right now it only displays one level of replies but you can modify your theme and remove this conditional https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/blob/master/templates/partials/topic/post.tpl#L87-Lundefined then you will get nested replies as well.

You can update to master or wait for 1.3.0 to get the feature. It looks like this.

As usual please report any bugs you find on our tracker at github.

@MoJo said in Get uniquevisitors per month from database.:

Is value a timestamp? So i would check witch timestamp match previous month.

Yes and then sum the scores.

That's correct, a category === forum in NodeBB. If you exclude History Channel, posts from that category(forum) won't show up in search results.

Hi @Keith-Barrows, the db search plugin has a feature that lets you exclude categories from search.

Also deleted topics/posts shouldn't show up on search as well.

@Simos Try removing the View Users privilege. Although that will disable the other routes as well like /api/user/uid/<uid>

Is there anything in the logs/output.log?

[component="topic/moved"] {
   display: none;
}

The settings for persona are at http://yourforum.com/admin/plugins/persona.

The list on /recent never refreshed on it's own when new topics or posts were made. It will show a notice and you can click it to refresh the list.

The setting is at /admin/plugins/persona. Sounds like you are having other issues if posts are not appearing.

Works here

Did you enable it in your theme page?

Did you also update UpdateUsersOnline to not use a callback?

If you are awaiting a function then it won't take a callback as the last argument, so inside UpdateUsersOnline you won't call callback anymore.
