Yes or no? Explain if yes but if no, I don't need an explanation.

@Ernest-L.-Defoe lol, I definitely will (thank u for the upvotes, this 300 second wait time is truly driving me crazy)

@ChaosYamYT

Thanks. Good to be hear. I am loving this software more and more. Installing plugins is so much easier than other forum scripts. It's such a breeze.

I know right? I'm only 15 and I can handle my forum fine, I hope you enjoy NodeBB as much as I do. Anyways, I must go finish my homework, bye!

@Ernest-L.-Defoe said in New to NodeBB:

I'm new to the whole NodeBB thing. Have been using PHP based forums for awhile now most recently xenForo and I am really loving this concept in forums. I finally after many many tries managed to get NodeBB installed on a small $5 Linode VPS and I am loving it. Had to use a version of Linux I am not familiar with (not that I am familiar with any version of Linux). I am used to using CentOS but to get it to work I had to use Ubuntu which the guide really really helped with just a few issues on my end. Anyways keep up the awesome work and maybe I'll actually start a forum using this software as it seems really awesome.

Welcome

@PitaJ said in Custom CSS not working:

I just want to make sure that every possibility is exhausted.

Can you try turning the Enable Custom CSS toggle off, then saving the page, then turning it back on, then saving the page again? Thanks.

And can you check for any errors in the browser console when on that page?

It worked! Thanks
Just had to disable, save, and reenable. Weird.

Hi thouv

Help? Something happened to my forum where my users cannot login... It always takes them to a page that says Forbidden. I'm not hosting the forum, but I have admin access. Any suggestions?

@Annihil Oh, I see. ( ;-; I got downvoted)

@Annihil said in Hide links from guests / Filter post content based on user group:

Hi,

I'd like a plugin that display links to registered users only, is there any plugins that allows this?
From the point of view of a guest, he would see something like [Link available to registered users only] instead of the links.
Actually, it would be even nicer to be able to filter all types of content and replace it with another one according to the group of the user.

I know that it's possible

You'd want to create a plugin that acts on the filter:parse.post hook, and removes private information (of your choosing) based on whether the user is an admin or not.

but haven't find any plugins actually doing it yet

you could simply use the widgets, as they have restrictions on who can or cant see them

@Bri said in Can't install plugins:

Of course, you can install it manually using npm install nodebb-plugin-x but YMMV

What does this mean? Am I able to install the plugin I was looking for still?

How do I get this plugin?

@yariplus said in Can't install plugins:

@ChaosYamYT Hello there!

This post is very old! To install plugins, you should navigate to the admin panel's extend=>install plugins page and click the install button for the plugin you want. Then restart NodeBB when you are finished installing the plugins you want.

Most plugins will not require another restart when changing their settings, unless they modify something like the theme or SSO.

I am looking specifically for this plugin: nodebb-plugin-custom-header, but I can't find it..!

@julian said in Restarting Node Applications:

A persistent pain point in NodeBB usage has always been installing plugins/themes. For example, the steps to install a plugin are as follows:

1. npm install nodebb-plugin-myplugin
2. Navigate to the "Plugins" page and activate it
3. Restart NodeBB (plugin is not truly active otherwise)
4. (Optional) If the plugin requires setup, navigate to its page in the control panel
5. (Optional) Restart NodeBB again

This is a definite step back from other (non-node based) platforms, where plugin installation is a two step process:

1. Install plugin (e.g. unzip to plugin directory)
2. Activate plugin

I don't know where the NodeBB directory is

@a_5mith said in Can't install plugins:

@Epic_Dinosaurz Just do

npm install nodebb-plugin-emailer-local in your nodebb directory.

You're confusing two different methods of installing plugins. If you're using the git repo it would be git clone <repo URL> (but you'd run that in the node_modules folder.)

npm is a command that installs a plugin directly from npmjs.com, which is where most plugins are hosted. So you don't need the full URL, just the name of the plugin.

I'm quite new to NodeBB, would you mind telling me where the directory is? I hope it's in the Admin Panel...
