As far as I'm aware this completely depends on the search plugin you're using.

The url configured in your config.json needs to match the URL by which you want to access the site. So if you want to access the site via https://www.mymainsite.tld/forum you have to set the url in config.json to this value.

I would love to move it. But I'm not sure if it is possible.

Disabling it for global moderator should be possible. I'll have a look at it. There is still several things I'd want to do with this plugin. The name is actually really the target. I just really wanted the mod badges in for the maintenance window I had to upgrade to 1.10.2

There is a widget to display the list of moderators for a category.

To display a mod badge for the moderators in their category I just recently created my own plugin. Be warned that it is in really early alpha and currently mainly focused on my own forum: https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodebb-plugin-user-badges

@PitaJ A custom skin created by me or my community. I know there is the possibility to inject your own CSS. But it doesn't work out will all the skins. So I would love if I could just provide some additional skins by myself. And then let the users decide themselves if they want to use the default skin, one of the Bootswatch skin or the ones created for my forum specifically.

Is there a way to add a skin to the NodeBB Persona theme and make it selectable by the users. Like we already have the possibility for the users to choose the available Bootswatch skins?

Well Ubuntu Server 16.04 is still supported until 2021. NodeJS 8 is an LTS version that is supported until the end of 2019. They might be a bit older, but are well tested and probably more stable than Ubuntu 18.04 and NodeJS 10. Thus it is perfectly up-to-date. But you can do the exact same steps with never versions of Ubuntu and NodeJS.

@gerald-in-korea You can actually own Webstorm. There is a perpetual fallback license: https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207240845-What-is-a-perpetual-fallback-license-

But like the others said, Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio 20xx are not the same at all. I'm actually using Visual Studio Code as my general text editor in Linux. Would never do that with any of the Visual Studio 20xx

And yes, Microsoft is horrible at naming their products.

@PitaJ said in Setting up NodeBB with Mongo on Fedora 28:

@Dravere I don't see how your method is functionally any different from just using the user's home directory

Functionality wise there is no difference, but it is more standard conforming as far as I'm aware. Also in theory it might be a bit more secure as I'm creating a system user that by default can't login to the machine. If you're creating a regular user you'll have to disable his login rights separately.

@sweetp In your ACP under Manage -> Privileges. Select a category (not global) and remove create topic privilege from registered users.
