It would be convinient if the user who created the topic can also be able to change the category on editing.

@charles as julian pointed out...

The reason behind this behaviour is that >when we pull the list of topics, we don't >know ahead of time which are deleted and >which aren't.

And subsequently, even code is applied to process the topics frm the list after they have been loaded again and again till the appropriate list is compiled, that too per page, it will eat up lots of resources and will be too complicated.

I think focus should be on how to show the deleted topic in a way that it has least hinderance to scrolling.. @julian will it be possible to hide the user pic of deleted posts ? And also this topic has been deleted in smaller fonts? Not a great alternative but a blank space would atleast look better imo...

@yariplus and for mongodb users ?

@julian said in why do i see the deleted topic :

@connectkushal In the case of spam posts, we recommend purging them completely, since they're likely to not be restored anyway.

Would be nice to have a plugin where we can set interactive like buttons, say use a set of emoji as like buttons, similar to the discourse-retort plugin or set a clickable text button, like the"thank" or the "offtopic" buttons in vanilla forum.

I have read the guidelines on how to make a plugin, but im an amateur. Making this plugin alone seems like a long shot. Willing to work along with someone.

@mechanix true ! this should be put up as a feature request.

was looking for the same thing, and so far got this link. Its a way to backup/restore the entire database. So basically if you create a fresh nodebb install, with the same db name and same db user/password, it should work. Havent tried it yet though.

oops.. should have read the whole thing. thanx for pointing it out @yariplus

@BlackBerry-Alamsyah said in Database status?:

@humanmadeaccount @lullerhaus . Sorry me English is bad..
I've some problem to. I use mongodb v.3.2.1

But I remove or comment back my mongo conf
#security:
#authorization: enabled

I had the same problem and found this solution on searching. Though it worked, what are the security implications of this ? Is there a better way to make database status work ? If it helps, i had installed nodebb as per the instructions in thier official docs -

https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/os/ubuntu.html
https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/configuring/databases/mongo.html

@julian wow.. thanx for the detailed reply, very well explained. love to know stuff like this

Keeping the things you said in mind, will it be too complicated to add a wie bit of code just to shift (or have an option to shift) the deleted topics into another category automatically, (eg trash ). Im not suggesting anything further than this, like a restore this post back to the original thread option (..no!). this automatic category change should take care of archiving deleted posts (if required) while also removing it from the user's view.

though, even without these, i would still love this forum but to the see an endless list of deleted, unclickable (spam)posts can kill the fun sometimes. its a bad ux

@pichalite thnx !

@phit is there an option to import/export complete forum data ? that way we can export data to a local storage and then import it onto a fresh install if things had gone south.

@Bri isnt there any way to do it from the admin dashboard ?

@pichalite said in why do i see the deleted topic :

@connectkushal you can't hide them... they just have to be purged by the @administrators or @Global-Moderators

@Global-Moderators kindly purge the unnecessary topics or set an early auto purge cycle (if there is anything like that)

@pichalite nope. i was talking about the posts here. there has been so much deleted spam lately !

is it possible to hide the deleted topic ? it is not clickable already, but takes up a lot of scrolling time.

Hi guys, great work being done here

Is anyone using a Drupal site with Nodebb forum? I couldnt find any link about it so far, please do share if there is one.

I will be trying to setup Oauth between a nodebb instance to be logged in through drupal, and will be posting updates on the work here. It would be helpful if 1-2 enthusiasts are willing to work on it too.

here is the module for drupal : https://www.drupal.org/project/oauth

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

nice article
