@baris Yes, thanks.

I had to include this line, the function is in there:

var groups = require.main.require('./src/groups');

@PitaJ I think I have a very edge-case scenario, I've found a solution for guests and logged in users.

Thanks for your help and point in the right direction!

@PitaJ OK, I'll check it again - it seems to change the timedate for guests, nothing else gets translated. It's only logged-in users which seem to be effected by the config.userLang

Passing the ?lang= for a guest doesn't seem to work either

@PitaJ Does config.userLang set the language for guests? Or is that a different property?

@PitaJ Perfect, thank you. That's done the trick

Is there a way to set the NodeBB language in either the server or client js?

I have a cookie that contains the language code I want to set the forum to.

Is there a hook I can use on the server-side to set the language, or equally something on the client side I can use to change the locale?

Is there a way I can hook into the User's 'language' selector options to roll my own solution?

Note: passing ?lang=[LANGAUGE] in the URL isn't an option
Note: Using the User settings isn't an option as I need to set the language before this point, from a Cookie

Is there a way to read cookies in the middleware.autoLocale function? (src/middleware/headers.js) req.cookies = {} at this point.
However, inside the function translate(str, req, res, next) { req.cookies is a full object as I expect (src/middleware/render.js)

Thanks!

I re-wrote the category controller (src > controllers > category.js) to handle passing ?term=x query through and only getting the relevant topics.

Is there a way to be able to filter topics on a category page by:

• day
• week
• month

The functionality that exists on the 'popular' page in NodeBB has the functionality I need, but adding ?term=daily into the URL doesn't update the category page listings.

Thanks @baris, the latter approach works so I'll go with that

I've added a couple of hooks which add a new node on to topic data, which is either true or false depending on other some logic I've written.

{
    "hook": "filter:topic.create",
    "method": "createTopic"
},
{
    "hook": "filter:topic.edit",
    "method": "editTopic"
}

When topics are loaded onto a category page, I want to return only those which have the new node === true

In src > categories > topics.js, there's a function Categories.buildTopicsSortedSet. In it, topics can be ordered by 'most_posts' like so set = 'cid:' + cid + ':tids:posts'

Is there a way that I can manipulate this to look for my new node condition? (I need to be able to fetch these topics at this point in the query because of pagination. If I fetch 5 topics at a time and filter them after this point, I could end up with 0 matched topics. I always want to fetch the maximum number of matching topics).
