You could do some CSS based overrides.

This is something I use in my custom css on the admin panel, it looks to see if you are either in a category or topic of a certain category, in this instance the "Red vs Blue Discussion" category (but using the slug)

body[class*=page-category-red-vs-blue-discussion], body[class*=page-topic-category-red-vs-blue-discussion] {
    background-image: url(/assets/uploads/system/rvb-bg.jpg) !important;
    .navbar-default {
        border-bottom: 3px #dd0000 solid;
        border-image: linear-gradient(to right, red, blue);
        border-image-slice: 1;
    }
    .btn-primary, .btn-info {
        color: #fff;
        background-color: #dd0000;
        border-color: #dd1111;
    }
    .btn-primary:hover {
        color: #fff;
        background-color: #bb0000;
        border-color: #bb1111;
    }
    .btn-info.active, .btn-info.focus, .btn-info:active, .btn-info:focus, .btn-info:hover, .open > .dropdown-toggle.btn-info {
        color: #fff;
        background-color: #bb0000;
        border-color: #bb1111;
    }
    .navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a, .navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a:focus, .navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a:hover {
        color: #000;
        background-color: #bb0000;
    }
    .composer .mobile-navbar {
        background-color: #dd0000;
    }
}

I've recently converted from IPB to NodeBB, although the site is still under development and we didn’t bother with transferring the last 13 years of data, it seems to be a hit with the community due to the speed of it.

Personally I find it easier to manage and update compared to IPB which broke our site with each upgrade and didn't really give much documentation.

Our theme is 'roughly' based on Rockstar's Social Club and I'm currently working on the frontpage in the background to match our old site.

It might look a bit 'empty' but the rest of the forums are hidden until you login.

Keep up the good work.

Also moved my other community to it now!

Hi @baris looks like https://saesrpg.uk is missing from the list on the first post

Might have the odd issue but normally get resolved with help on the forum.

Still impressed with how fast it is (compared to IPB which we migrated from)

Would have been running it 2 years this June, averaging the following:

I know we already have a 'subscription' module but other communities relies on donations.

Ideally it would be good if someone could donate via the forum, then on the callback, it creates a topic with the donation details in a category of your choice.

We used to have one on our IPB forum. (https://www.devfuse.com/products/53-donations/)

Would be willing to pay, if someone can make a decent offer.

@yariplus Thank you very much!

Have you tried the 'nodebb-plugin-btn-spoilers' plugin? That's working on my 1.8.2 install.

@baris said in filter:messaging.notify issue:

That is a filter hook so you need to return the data from it.

myPlugin.filterMessagingNotify = async (hookData) => {
   // do something with hookData
   return hookData;
};

That's brilliant @baris thanks for your help once again!

Thank you very much! @Giggiux

Thanks for this theme.

I'm now using a modified version of this on https://saesrpg.uk and https://bastage.net

@julian unfortunately I will be using the support plugin in the same category because I only want the people to see their own topics and have access to reply to our responses

Hello,

I've currently created a plugin that adds a "ban appeal form" to our website, and it works as intended, however, we want to force people to use this form rather than manually create a topic in the category.

However when I disable the topic creation permission, obviously when the form is filled out and submitted, it cannot create the topic.

I'm currently using this to post the topic:

const topics = require.main.require('./src/topics');
.....
topics.post(payload, (error, data) => {..........

Is there an alternative method I can use to bypass the permission to allow the plugin to post in the category?

Hi, I wonder if you can help me.

I've recently created a plugin that is listening to the filter:messaging.notify hook, the plugin works correctly, however for some reason when people are messaging each other, the messages will not show unless you close the message and re-open it.

If the plugin is deactivated, messages instantly show.

I see that plugins used to make use of a callback, but I've looked at the code that that hook fires and it doesn't appear to need a callback.

I did try adding the callback for testing and it says that callback is not a function.

Am I missing a call or a hook I need to fire to make NodeBB complete the process of sending the message to the open message window?

Ah right, I seem to have the opposite on my site, user.postcount shows less than counts.posts

But not to worry, now that I understand the differences.

@baris I noticed that persona theme (which our theme was originally based on) now uses that on the profile page rather than postcount, I thought something had changed.

Some reason that seems to return the correct post count compared to postcount, but the issue on is only on a few of the 8000+ members we have.

Just a quick one, @baris

I've noticed I also display user post count on their post card.

Example:

That uses posts.user.postcount is there an alternative to use, as I don't seem to be able to use posts.users.count.posts?

Also, is there any reason why postcount and counts.posts is now out for sync only some users, is it now decrepated?

@baris Apologies for the delay, found I needed to update my custom theme, was using postcount instead of counts.posts

Hello,

Apologies if it's something that I've overlooked, but is it possible to recount posts for users?

We've got a few members complaining on our forum who seem to have an incorrect post count showing in their profile.

@pitaj Thanks. I'm not in a particular rush for it, so I'll drop a note on GitHub, thank you very much.
