did u run ./nodebb upgrade??

@Kowlin Make it a mandatory config option, so people who want to upgrade would have to manually add the option to the config. (either true or false depending on if they want to promote their forum)

@Kowlin Thats why you should be able to disable it.

Make it an option during installation for example

why not create configurable heartbeats so you can automatically get a list of running nodebb instances

Admins should be able to opt out though.

to install the package, see here: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install

you can have your theme as a folder or tarball aswell. just use npm install tarball or npm install folder you dont need to put it online

var TeamSpeakClient = require("node-teamspeak"),
    util = require("util");

var cl = new TeamSpeakClient("##SERVERIP###");
cl.send("login", {client_login_name: "##USERNAME##", client_login_password: "##PASSWORD##"}, function(err, response, rawResponse){
    cl.send("use", {sid: 1}, function(err, response, rawResponse){
        cl.send("clientinfo", {clid: "##CLIENTID##"} ,function(err, response, rawResponse){
            console.log(util.inspect(response));
        });
    });
});

this should connect you to your server, log u in, select virtual server 1, and print clientinfo for the client with id ##CLIENTID##.

(slightly modified from the node-teamspeak example)

have a look at this short talk: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat

@DavidPS really? https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=ts3

there are teamspeak query packets for node.

@julian But familiarity is what makes it easier for most users.
they probably don't want to learn a new markup language for every forum. So they stick with what they know.

Just added a few missing German strings

I switched from pma to http://www.adminer.org/ . It's much more lightweight and doesnt need an installation. just call the script and connect to your db.

I tried the modified phpbb importer from @belstgut but it didn't work for me. Neither the extended user information like location and so on nor the messages get imported although the queries seem correct to me. The generated SQL Queries also deliver the correct data if I try them manually. Any idea?

I think this problem is not with the exporter, but with the importer.

for profile fields it only supports the one shown here: https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import/blob/master/write-my-own-exporter.md#yourmodulegetpaginatedusersstart-limit-callback

I don't think thats a good idea. That would just split up the community imo

I made some small changes to the original phpbb exporter:

https://github.com/belstgut/nodebb-plugin-import-phpbb

It seemed to work fairly well with phpbb 3.1.x on nodebb 0.6x

On 0.7 I have the doublicate First post problem again. Will look into it next week. (I changed this part of the code from psychobunny version to not even include the first posts in the sql query.) Oh, and Messages arent working either.

But u can test it.

Looks like your plugin will reject any user with a non-gmail account. Maybe you should check with a list of valid email domains, i'm sure you can find one easily on google.

Actually I think this is a bad idea. Because anyone can run their own mailserver.

Just check if the email contains an @ is enough for valid email testing. Most regex solutions will fail on stuff like:

"this email contains spaces"@example.org which is a valid email address. An email address may even contain a @ character in the local part in some odd configurations.

you should check out Flarum. It is also build on Laravel: https://github.com/flarum/core

As easy as collection stores like redis might be to use. I think a well done SQL concept will always be faster.
http://blogs.enterprisedb.com/2014/09/24/postgres-outperforms-mongodb-and-ushers-in-new-developer-reality/
(and PostgreSQL is one of the slower SQL databases)

Sure, mongodb/redis will scale much better over a cluster. But one server is in most cases more than enough.

Not really sure what all the hype about mongodb/redis lately is, if you can use well tested sql databases.
