Community

We use NodeBB 3+ years at https://chatrooms.talkwithstranger.com and some more sites and love NodeBB.

We use NodeBB also as a CMS containing English definitions on a dictionary. Our users are loving it. but we are struggling in increasing our Google rankings as all our competitors are using AMP pages to outrank us.

We would need an official Google AMP plugin that would enable any node bb topic page , like the 1 I'll post my topic on, to have an alternative Accelerated Mobile Page.

Since when each topic will have a corresponding AMP version then it will help us rank much more easily in Google SEO search results and increase our rankings.

With this plugin, our users can help us discover our sites and node bb itself site much more easily because Google ranks AMP pages better and higher over normal html pages.

Please see all top news sites and forum sites use AMP https://www-searchenginejournal-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.searchenginejournal.com/google-amp-ranking-factor/157785/amp/?amp_js_v=a2&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D#aoh=15897444560799&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From %251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.searchenginejournal.com%2Fgoogle-amp-ranking-factor%2F157785%2F

This will help users coming from mobile to load much more faster giving a better and faster UX.

Any node bb devs or any one else willing to take this, please reply or pm me. @Global-Moderators @Staff

Thanks

Thank you for the idea of SEO.

a. I agree with @julian there are philosophical disagreement
b. agree, adding Google schema support could be built-in like we have seen FB open graph is built-in
c. not a forum, try other software
d. would be helpful, could be done by a plugin. Argueable could be built-in too, IMHO
e. I have nothing against but I think it would be a large project because I could picture some addition live ML and log mining needs to be developed for this to be generalized, and could complicate the core NodeBB a lot.
f. not a forum, sounds to me a social network
g. has been done by plugin and you could pretty much develop it yourself.
h. not thing against it, I think it currently works.
i. it's more of a site operating and community engagement strategy
j. not a forum
k. Good idea, could be done by plugin
l. This is already in place, right
m. good idea. I don't see why not but I assume it already works
n. same as k

Just like we have auto suggest working on mobile for tags, can we please enable auto suggest for following?

when searching for topics on mobile using global search. when writing a topic title when choosing a category for a topic

all these autosuggest work on desktop view but not in mobile view.

I think it is easier than it may seem looking at reddit. For example, for most, there will be enough something like curated categories. Let's say these categories can be created by users only from the Curators group. The same users will be moderators in the category they created.

Customization group. It is quite enough to display a custom banner of the curated category below the top menu and a widget of something like "similar posts from this category". Later, with the help of plugins, it is possible to give curators the opportunity to change several styles / colors of the main template for their category (of course, if someone needs this functionality).

So, we get 90% of the functionality of the reddit + what NodeBB itself brings. This can give a huge boost to some types of community that could grow at the expense of narrower niches covered by users.

Our forum is randomly throwing this error in case of heavy traffic and when we try to login or visit topic pages. when i open the site in chrome incognito, it works. but not in normal tab.

אשמח לדעת האם יש דרך לצפות בצאט של המשתמשים שלי על ידי תוסף
תודה רבה מראש

Yes, I think that makes sense... the adsense plugin (that's what you're using, right?) can be modified and be instructed to look for a specific tag if you don't want ads to be shown on that page...

However, it might lead to people abusing that tag so their topics don't show ads... just saying 😄

There's no baked in way to get that kind of permissions control. It's either all-or-nothing when it comes to the ACP.

@faizanzahid Honestly, we've never tried it. If you enable it, let us know what happens 😬

@faizanzahid
I'm interested by the feature you were looking for.
Have you find a way to do this ?

@yapne can u plz mention the admins? @baris

You probably have another plugin that is using the hook filter:parse.post that is not passing the correct data back, check your plugins for the ones that are using that hook.

@pitaj oh damn, that is unfortunate.

Yes, @teh_g is correct, global moderators are special in that they will always have moderate privilege outside of the privileges page. Unfortunately it doesn't look as though you will be able to restrict gmods from their moderation privileges for this forum -- it's quite an odd use case!

@faizanzahid You can't have both right now, just set it to normal and you can invite users to your /register page via email or some other tool 😄

@pitaj You are awesome work, thank you., its working now 🙂

Testing this post

@baris nope, on both
