Hello everyone!

I have a question: is it possible to apply the NodeBB development, namely the template system, in other projects not related to the forum, for example, on a website, blog, etc, if are also compiled using Nodejs?

For example to automate copy header, footer, head meta tag on all html pages on websites with one line in code

{{ each header }} {{ end }} 
content 
{{ each footer }} {{ end }}

Templating System - NodeBB Documentation

Documentation portal for NodeBB Forum Software

(docs.nodebb.org)

I'm read about template technology like Expressjs, Pug and I don't understand how use it, so I think your Benchpressjs is a really cleaner version for build templates, but this project adaptive only for the NodeBB forum CMS or it's posibbls use to create blogs, sites?

Try restart your forum and check your server.

Any, even small, corrections and adjustments in markup for SEO are an important part in the life of any community! I’m very glad that the development team is following current changes in this environment!

Thank you!

Hey!

I have a problem with multiple domains, I'm use this faq and added multiple domain mysite.com and mysite.net in config.json

{
  "port": 4567,
  "socket.io": {
    "origins": "https://mysite.com:*,https://mysite.net:*"
  }
}

I can open forum with new domain (mysite.net), but console show errors from manifest and service worker for PWA and from emoji plugin:

and when I open sitemap on https://mysite.net/sitemap.xml I view urls with mysite.com domain...

It's possible use multiple domain for forum with full support PWA, sitemap and assets?

@Sky凌空 You need upload a topic thumbnail to get this preview image

@dave1904 Hi! Category pages and Recent Card plugin use {topics.teaser.content} to show content, on api teaser data with spoiler look like this:

"teaser":{
"pid":123,
"uid":10,
"timestamp":1700284682564,
"tid":119,
"content":"<p><i class=\"fa fa-caret-right spoiler-button\"></i> MY SPOILER </p> TEST <p></p>",

Magic button plugin parse content only in post, so I need a time to understand how I can change a teaser content...

I love the topic, but I agree that it requires a load on the brain 🧠, there is no feeling of instantly joining the forum, first you need to make an effort to get comfortable, get used to the interface this is probably what scares and confuses some users, including the category of young people 20-35, It's difficult even for them.

We need to find a compromise and calibrate Harmony for everyone!

I have an idea to improve Harmony, but I will need your help.

I want each of you who noticed the inconvenience of using the forum to find a site on the Internet with easy navigation/menu/text editor and send here a screenshot of this site.

Any website (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter), whatever, the main thing is to determine which design element is the most convenient and intuitive for all age groups.

When publishing a screenshot, specify the version of the site: mobile or desktop (it will be better if you publish several versions at once for comparison)

@PitaJ
Yes, I am using the develop version and regardless of the warning, I successfully updated, and so far everything is working on version NodeJS 16.

But I will still be preparing to move to Ubuntu 20.04 so that I can install the 18th version of the NodeJS, because it seems to me that the NodeBB will gradually increase the requirements to dependencies for security reasons.

NodeBB began the transition to NodeJS v18? So, we can say bye-bye to resource econony Ubuntu 18.04

Updating NodeBB...

1. Updating package.json file with defaults...  OK

2. Bringing base dependencies up to date...  started

I think we need fix container size for tablets, current we have very big empty place on left and right...

https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-harmony/blob/main/templates/partials/header/brand.tpl#L2

Replace container to container-lg

Before (topic)

After (topic)

Before (categories)

After (categories)

@Nicolas Oh yeah, this shit messes up the indexing and Google search doesn't recognize the sitemap. I'm try use your plugin, but he not work with topic name.

Solved
To fix need change topicData.slug = translit(topicData.slug) to topicData.topic.slug = translit(topicData.topic.slug)

@baris category page have it, but with incorrect data...

@baris said in 3.4.0 Upgrade Support:

do you mean the topic page?

On category page should be category name (Technical Support, not Home) and topic page we need set category name + topic title

And if we want to show the community name instead of a link, we need to add content 0 with the community name. So we get this result in search:

NodeBB Community > Technical Support > How are you?

NodeBB Community - content 0 in schema
Technical Support - content 1 in schema
How are you? - content 2 in schema

Need fix breadcrumbs schema for SEO in Category.

The current method is not work in search engine and on forum this navigation stroke everytime show Home

We need set content 0 to category name and content 1 to topic title, after this we get correct result in search.

Upd. Or maybe content 0 to forum name (look on screenshot www.google.com was replace to Google), and next content 1 - category name, content 2 - topic title.

I tested this on my forum by adding json and after reindexing the search correctly shows beautiful links. A small thing, but nice.

How can I get data about the number of ratings with a specific rating star?

I mean something like this example:

We can view a data for rating of 5 star - 226 votes (review) and others...

How search looks for guest

Q1
Why was this done? Does this somehow improve the speed of Nodebb? Now less resources are consumed? Messages are loaded faster when language keys were renamed from _ in -? There will be no more sagging when moving from one topic to another?

Q2
So now I need a manually edit all 223 keys to replace _ to - in my custom theme or Nodebb will be support ex-standantizations language key?

@julian this is amazing feature!!! Thank you!

Search button in navbar not showing for guest if allow search for all group in setting.
