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!

(using the same custom theme with a few tweaks)

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.

Thanks for this theme.

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

Thank you very much! @Giggiux

I can't wait for this, keep up the good work!

Try using this one instead (it works for me on latest NodeBB)

Are you sure it's the start that's not finishing and not your automation?

This may not work but could be worth looking into.

cd /home/nestor/nodebb
./nodebb stop
./nodebb start
exit 0

Have you made sure the directory you are uploading to has the correct folder permissions?

I'd also check to make sure the file doesn't already exist with some weird permissions that won't allow it to be overwritten.

@Michael-Pfaff said in Who is using NodeBB?:

@Brophy what Events calendar plugin is that?

https://github.com/pitaj/nodebb-plugin-calendar#readme

Have you tried looking at the following?

https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-sso-oauth

Do you actually need to do this via mongo?

Could you make use of the API which would return it all as JSON.

Every route in NodeBB has a read-only API accessible by prepending the route with /api

If you want to POST to NodeBB, you'll want to look at the write API, which has its own documentation

@Vik We have a custom theme created by @youhosi based loosely on the Rockstar's social club (Grand Theft Auto)

Hi @baris thanks for the help.

Do you mean I need to re-create it on the admin panel? I've tried to re-add it but it won't allow me.

The group in question is Secret Service Civilian Support

I get

Uh-Oh

There was a problem creating your group. Please try again later!

@baris apologies.
