@pitaj Fount it, thx! Any idea for my first question?

Regarding current 1.18.4 we've enable LDAP authentication using the nodebb-plugin-sso-open-ldap plugin. We only allow internal user logins having an LDAP entry and thus don't want to see any E-Mail confirmations assuming directory data being valid.

I'm thus looking for an option to simply accept an e-mail address being provided by an LDAP server on first nodebb server login without sending a subsequent confirmation link.

Second question: Generated e-mail address confirmation mails currently contain confirmation links like e.g. http://localhost:4567/confirm/ad97cf30-a162-410d-9c7c-99e027cd2d61. This of course relates to the internal nodebb Server behind our NginX frontend server. So I'd like to specify replacing http://localhost:4567/ by e.g. https://ourdomain.org/. I've already set the server's Settings --> General --> Site Settings URL entry accordingly to no avail.

I found https://community.nodebb.org/topic/10026/nodebb-plugin-write-api-failing-to-load-admin-page solving the issue.

System: Ubuntu 18.04 (LTS) x86_64. Fresh install of current nodebb 13.2, nodebb-plugin-write-api 5.7.3:

> node -v && npm -v
v12.16.3
6.14.4

Plugin »nodebb-plugin-write-api« had been installed and activated. After nodebb daemon restart hitting »PLUGINS --> WriteAPI« as user admin directs to https://hostname/admin/plugins/write-api displaying a wait indicating spinner before eventually showing:

This page isn’t working
localhost didn’t send any data.
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

In case of not waiting for a timeout but reloading the web page nodebb log shows:

(node:28884) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Failed to lookup view "admin/plugins/write-api" in views directory "/home/goik/tmp/nodebb/build/public/templates"

I also repeated the exact same installation steps on a second Ubuntu 20.04 workstation host leading to exactly the same result.

I'd like to allow for configuring notifications on category level. Is the nodebb-plugin-category-notifications the only option to achieve this?

Installing + activation works on my otherwise flawless Nodebb 1.10.1 installation. However hitting Dashboard --> Plugins --> Category Notifications just endlessly shows a spinner. I've filed an issue at https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-category-notifications/issues/9 but received yet no reply.

For clarification: Users should receive notifications whenever a new post / reply appears within a given category. Happy to see an other way achieving this.

Thanks for the super fast reply!

Hi there,
we are using LDAP authentication based on user ids rather than email addresses. Thus a typical user will use 'fred' as his login name and not »[email protected]«.

NodeBB offers a »Username / Email« textfield for login confusing our users. Some of them enter their E-Mail rather than just their user id and subsequently fail on login. So my questions:

1. Is there a configuration parameter to choose just »Username « for the login screen?

2. In case 1. does not work I thought of hacking either or all of:

build/public/language/en-US/login.json
build/public/language/en-x-pirate/login.json
build/public/language/sc/login.json
build/public/language/id/login.json
build/public/language/fi/login.json
build/public/language/en-GB/login.json
build/public/language/hu/login.json
public/language/en-US/login.json
public/language/en-x-pirate/login.json
public/language/sc/login.json
public/language/id/login.json
public/language/fi/login.json
public/language/en-GB/login.json
public/language/hu/login.json

I assume there is a way to generate the build dependencies from public/...? How to trigger? How does this work in conjunction with »git pull« updates?

3. Other ideas?

BTW: What do we have to do configuring a German localization?
