v3.3.0, for reference.

If I need to change a user's email address, I search them in ACP, visit their profile and click "Change Email".

When I do this, instead of allowing me to change their email, I get bounced to the account verification page. I then get stuck in a loop until I log out and back in again, as any admin URL redirects back to that page.

I'm pretty sure what used to happen was that I would just get a text field input to enter the user's new email, and a save button.

Is what's happening expected behaviour? It doesn't seem logical to have to follow the account verification process on behalf of the user, I'm not sure that would even work since I don't have access to their email.

Is this compatible with 1.9.x?

We add new users via the API when they sign up to our service. Since upgrading to v3, users all have "no email" until they have clicked the verification link that's sent to them.

This makes a mess of several things:

1. Our SSO setup, because we're not able to look up the user by email, so they can't log in at all until they've verified their email
2. We can't use the "Validate email" option to validate them ourselves, because it says "Invalid email"
3. Re-sending the verification link also does not work, presumably because it doesn't know where to send it

I have a situation where a user can't find the validation email and I cannot validate him or re-send the email to him. I am going to have delete him and recreate him from scratch.

This can't be intended behaviour surely? Is there a way to make the email address show up even if they haven't verified it yet?

Excellent thanks!

I'm fairly new to NodeBB so forgive me for any gaps in basic knowledge.

I have the leaderboard plugin but want to display it underneath the category list on my homepage, rather than a whole different route. Sounds like I need to make it into a widget and then add that widget to a region of the page.

I had a bash at converting the plugin to a widget based on the published instructions for writing a widget, and by comparing with other widgets, but currently my widget doesn't even appear in the available widgets list.

Can anyone give me an idea of how to achieve what I'm trying to do?

Struggling to make sense of some aspects of the notification system in NodeBB.

As I understand it, "watching" means you see posts in the "Unread" section and also receive notifications (in the bell in the top right and via email if configured).

"Not watching" means no notifications but the post appears in "Unread".

"Ignoring" means no notification and nothing in "Unread".

However, at category level we have the ability to set "Watching", but actually it's the equivalent of "Not watching", as far as I can tell.

There's a plugin, nodebb-plugin-category-notifications, which adds a "Subscribe/Unsubscribe" button to categories and enables full notifications for all topics in the category, but unfortunately this seems to fight with the inbuilt notification system, so if people ignore a particular topic but are subscribed to the category, they still get notifications!

Basically all I want is to be able to click at category level to truly "watch" every topic in that category (unread and notifications) but be able to ignore individual topics if I want to. There doesn't seem to be a clean way of doing this.

@crazycells said in Re-link deleted user's content when they re-join?:

I think there is ( @phenomlab ), although I have never used it, I remember seeing this plugin made by @baris @gasoved

GitHub - NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-undelete-users: A NodeBB plugin to re-associate deleted users with their content that are not removed.

Thanks for this! Unfortunately doesn't seem to be v3 compatible though. But at least it shows it's possible in principle.

I have a topic (seems to just be one at the moment) where page 580 (yeah it's a long thread!) is the last page shown when the user is viewing the forum in pagination mode instead of infinite scroll mode, and the final post is one from about 4 days ago.

However, there have been about 70 new replies to the topic since then, which are visible if one uses infinite scroll mode and scrolls to the bottom.

It's like the pagination just froze at page 580 and isn't updating any more.

I've tried rebuilding and restarting to clear the caches, but this hasn't resolved it.

Anyone ever faced this or have any ideas what's going on?

nodebb version is 3.1.4.

Since upgrading to 3.2.1 this morning, whenever certain characters or emojis are entered, the trollface emoji appears?!

I mean, it's the perfect emoji for this problem I guess, but still

That emoji seems to come from the Vital pack, which I've disabled, rebuilt emoji assets and done a rebuild / restart of nodebb, but the issue persists.

@baris Ah ok thanks, I will give it a try next time this comes up (I used the API this time).
