Thank you so much for your answer @baris .

The issue was resolved when I removed the extra / in url in config.json

so from

{
"url": "https://forum.forum.com/",
...
}

to

{
"url": "https://forum.forum.com",
...
}

Hello! I am experiencing the same but when run on local, it exports perfectly. Any idea what could be mistake in setup?

@baris I'm on nodebb-plugin-friends 1.2.0, latest master and unfortunately, it doesn't

Hello @baris ,

Tried out your suggestion of starting nodebb from scratch (with default plugins installed) and downgraded nodebb from 1.11.2 to 1.11.0 then use nodebb-plugin-friends, unfortunately, it still isn't working. Recorded a screenshot trying this process, kindly check here: https://bit.ly/304bBC5

I executed ./nodebb-dev and it gave me an error upon start (image below), could this be the reason why it isn't working?

Thanks again for your help!

@baris
The plugin is active and installed in ACP, also tried to run it in ./nodebb dev.
Kindly review: https://bit.ly/2Zjesqv
Thanks so much

@baris I did your suggestion. Still not working.
Here's a screencast when I tried to rebuild and restart the forum: https://bit.ly/2LESyKU

Thank you for your help

@baris Thank you so much for your response.

I tried to your suggestion: Nodebb is now in version 1.11.2 and friends plugin is in 1.2.0

It's returning me a different error now which is "Page does not exist" when I went to

http://localhost:4567/user/:uid/friends

Do I need to set another page for this route?

Thanks again for the help.

Hello!

I have installed the nodebb-plugin-friends and nodebb-plugin-write-api. I saw a friends in the dropdown from the burger icon in user profile,

but when I clicked this, its giving me an internal error and the route was in

http://localhost:4567/user/:uid/friends

All I did was install both of the plugins. Do I need to configure something in the write-api plugin dashboard for this to work? Can you help me with what I'm missing out?

Appreciate your help. Thank you very much!

@julian Thanks so much ! This totally make sense. Worth to note, to add proxy_pass blocks to static files too.

Is there a way enable to search "all" as default for db-search in the forum search bar.

"All" , in context of Titles and Post, Users, Tags and especially post content, which means
the keyword will be retrieved as long as it exist within the post. Currently, keyword search are only limited to post titles.

On the other note: Will there be a possibility of having nodebb plugin for Algolia Search?

Thank you so much. I highly appreciate your help.

Thank you so much for your response.

Submitted an issue for this: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/7601

The DNS, thesite.com, is already used by Wordpress. Wordpress has database and in that database, the pages are registered with their respective routes. This means that you need to register a page for the route /forum under Wordpress.

How to make the url of NodeBB Forum to thesite.com/forum?

I know this process is possible since there are sites who has the DNS in Wordpress site and the NodeBB forum in a route, like the following:
https://thepublicbox.com/forum is part of https://thepublicbox.com
https://www.bitcoin-hrvatska.com/forum is part of https://www.bitcoin-hrvatska.com
https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum is part of https://www.seaofthieves.com
https://bethesda.net/community is part of https://bethesda.net
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/ is part of https://notepad-plus-plus.org

I just don't know where to configure this. Or what is it that I'm missing?

Appreciate your help.

It's a little odd how it works like a "chat room" (if User A starts a chat with User B, and then User A leaves the room, User B will just see an "ERROR: No users in this room" if they try to reply). If User A wants to continue the chat - it will then open up another, separate chat room (the original one won't continue). I kind of expected this to work somewhat like Facebook's messaging feature works, but the existence of a "chat room" that can start and stop working when one user leaves was a little and confusing. Is there a work around for this? Thanks
