You can just use the User.setUserField(uid, field, value, callback) function, by importing the module.parent.require('./user')
To set the value while creating the account, I suggest you to check the custom registration field (or something like that) plugin and use it, or taking inspiration from it.
@yariplus ugh, I can try something this weekend, but I don't really love css, more into the scripting part 
I'll let you know by monday
@mj i think you can fork your theme and change the .tpl template for the users list page as you wish
@pitaj @sharonyue
should it be git checkout v1.8.x ?
@baris This means now calls with the Bearer token can also be done to normal api?
I think I can do an use case scenario:
A side permanent chat, so when you navigate the site, the chat remains there and only the content gets updated, while the chat is still available and you can still chat.
More or less like the navigation-bar / nodebb-skeleton than when you change topic/category/pages it doesn't get reloaded.
Oh, i thought you were using write-api endpoints. What you can try do is to create your own plugin that extends the write-api (there is an hook that let you do that), from which you get the uid of the user, you modify the request setting req.user and then pass everything to the searchController.search function.
So (this is not valid, but it's just to somehow show you):
in plugin.json:
{"hooks": [{"hook": "filter:plugin.write-api.routes", "method": "api"}]}
in library.js:
var plugin = {},
searchController = require.main.require('./src/search');
plugin.api = function (data, callback) {
var app = data.router;
var apiMiddleware = data.apiMiddleware;
var middleware = data.middleware;
var errorHandler = data.errorHandler;
app.get('/search', apiMiddleware.requireUser, function(req,res) {
req.user = req.uid; //req.uid is given from the middleware
searchController(req, res)
}
callback(null, {
router: app
});
}
Then of course do the request to /api/v1/search instead of /api/search
@yariplus do you need help?
@Brophy What I do with my custom plugin is
git clone nodebb-plugin-my-plugin into the server user's home folder,
cd nodebb-plugin-my-plugin
npm link
then in the nodebb's root folder: npm link nodebb-plugin-my-plugin. And I never lose the plugin, if I have to release a new update I just do a git pull in the plugin (original) folder, then is updated automatically when I restart the forum.
So in your case I'd say create the nodebb-theme-your-theme folder somewhere in your server, do npm link and then in nodebb npm link nodebb-theme-your-theme .
But I think this is suggested for development environments, not for production, even if in my case is working pretty well 
Another way to do it is to install your theme with npm install git+https://[email protected]/<your-git-user>/<your-private-theme-repo>.git
@yapne In order to do testing, what I would do is to clone mongodb, then configure nodebb-test to connect to the cloned one and work on that

@birdzhang You are using a Master Bearer token and not a user's one. So you have to pass also the uid parameter in the request. Or you create an User Bearer token and that solves the problem
I think you may, in theory, check how other plugins works it like nodebb-plugin-registration-question, and try to do change it in your way
@birdzhang use Bearer token for both "Authorization" and "Authentication", don't know why it is like that:
In your case:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxx-cb5c-4ddf-866d-5fcbfd2986e8" -H "Authentication xxxxxx-cb5c-4ddf-866d-5fcbfd2986e8" 'https://example.com/api/search?term=test&in=titlesposts' -v
@pitaj ok I stopped, built and restarted and it works, so I suppose it doesn't work the same if i do ./nodebb build and then restart nodebb, right?
Hi guys,
I'm getting this error:
Internal Error.
Oops! Looks like something went wrong!
/user/xxx
Render failed for template {path-to}/nodebb/build/public/templates/account/profile.js: templateFunction is not a function
How can I solve it?
@baris doesn't ./nodebb dev do it?
Edit: BTW, Thanks, it was it
Hi guys,
I may have skipped some major version, but I didn't find anything related to this problem:
essentially I took my database, took my nodebb instance (v1.4.6), moved it on my personal laptop and tried to update it.
I manage to update it without problems, everything looks nice, except some plugins may not have been updated (don't really care).
Now I can run it, the forum works, the admin page works and my custom made plugin is loaded, BUT nodebb cannot find my custom made templates. The error is:
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'path/to/NodeBB/build/public/templates/recent2.tpl'
at Error (native)
My plugin.json is the same as the old one:
{
"id": "nodebb-plugin-myplugin",
"name": "Myplugin",
"description": "Myplugin",
"url": "path/to/myplugin",
"library": "./library.js",

"hook": "static:app.load", "method": "init"

},
{
"hook": "filter:navigation.available", "method": "addNavigation"

{
"hook": "filter:plugin.write-api.routes", "method": "api"
}
],
"staticDirs": {
"static": "./static"

],
"scripts": [
"static/lib/main.js",
"static/jquery.datatables.js",

}
Did I miss some breaking change, or it's something else?
Thanks,

Do Opera's forum use a open source theme?
I really like the style! 
Assuming that you use it as a reverse proxy, I think you can do something similar with NGINX by mixing these guides:
I have two sessions in PHP: $_SESSION["session"]["key"] = md5 ($token . $userAgent . $ip); $_SESSION["session"]["timeout"] = time (); Just want to check that sessions with nginx, tried this code
