@psychobunny Thank you very much.

@baris I'm using MongoDB.

I've just upgraded from v1.10.2 to v1.11.2 (luckily not on my live site) and when I try to view any categories, I get this error.

I thought I would ask about it here, before posting on the bug tracker.

I also get this error when trying to view any category 'admin functions' in the admin panel.

P.S. I've removed my folder name and replaced it with ****, in case you were wondering.

Hi all,

I just wondered, is it possible to have main nodebb install in which people can use there login details to login on say a seperate nodebb install running on a subdomain? Rather than getting users to sign up again?

Thanks for this theme.

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

I've been playing around with a new template and when view posts on a topic, I've managed to get it to colour the user's name with the same colour as the selected group as per their profile.

Do you know how I can do this with the lastpost.tpl on category view? I've tried to do it the same way as I do with the post view, however when I look for the selectedGroup/selectedGroups array, I can't find it.

Thanks in advance.

I've just noticed this, as I was going to 'highlight' my category links with a different colour when there are unread topics within.

Anyone know about this?

Looks like the rules are pretty much the same, but my location is just /

Do you have NodeBB running on the same vhost as nginx?

If so, I would point the proxy_pass to 127.0.0.1 / localhost (doesn't need to be the same as the url in the NodeBB config)

Sorry with all the questions...

Is there a way I could, for example, disable public members being able to post in a certain category but make the API create a topic in that category as a 'public' member ignoring permissions (using master token).

We had a feature similar on IPB, so we stopped people being able to post into the donation category (and being able to 'fake' a donation and stop having the need to manually confirm each donation), however, the PayPal IPN module could 'ignore' those permissions and still post in there, using the donators ID to create the topic as them.

I've just finished working on my automated topic creator which gets triggered by PayPal's IPN and just wondered if I could implement the same.

When we used to use IPB, we had a handy feature where general public members could enter a forum and only see the topics they have created themselves (used to be handy with ban appeals and reporting people without judgement)

Is there a way we can do this with NodeBB?
