I was thinking about this other day, on the Ignore/Watch selector could that be extended to Ignore/Watch/Notify?

@torizhao

I'm on v0.6.1 and that working fine on mine, looks like a local issue.

@adrianmak

this could be your soloution

@adrianmak

You can create sub categories yes

Hey, not sure if this is a bug, oversight or just not meant to be.

If the Parent Category has Child Categories should not the Parent reflect the number of Post/Topics in the children?

Also would it not be possible to turn off posts in a cat if it has children, so could be used soley as a sub menu?

Thanks

I've just come accross this, where someone has posted an off topic responce to another post.

If moving an individual message can it not be moved to a 'new' topic?

@akumbhare

Hi, I'm trying to understand what your objective is here, I'm learning newbie so puzzles like this help with that.

From what I can tell your trying to record the number of likes a user or something has?

Personally I think your storing the data wrong, your unique reference shouldn't be an IP address as this will change and you may have multiple users using the same IP.

What db are you using?

@a_5mith

Yes I totaly agree, I need to add something to comply with this as I'm in the UK (my bad), even tho I think it's stupid and may never get enforced.

I can't afford the legal costs if it ever did and as a community/open source project I'm just informing the rest of the community who may or may not be aware of this, as I didn't find it mentioned before.

Thanks

Dave

The rules

Interestingly, despite the fact that the legislation is based on protection of personal information and privacy, it applies even when a cookie is not being used to collect any personally-identifiable information. The rules apply to all cookies, and are intended to prevent information from being stored on users' computers without their informed consent.

As is the case with privacy consents in general, the preferred approach for cookies is to obtain explicit consent. This can be achieved, for example, by providing a notice to the user explaining what cookies are, how they will be used, what they will do, and asking the user to click "I agree."

Explicit consent is the best legal way to ensure that the user has really consented to the issuance and acceptance of cookies. However, it is onerous and irritating, especially if it is done each time the user visits the website. That's why implied consent is also acceptable, at least in the U.K.

Implied consent involves providing information to the user and looking for some action by the user which indicates that the user has consented. For example, a website may post a clear and unavoidable notice when the user first visits the site, advising the user that cookies will be used, and explaining what cookies are. If the user clicks on any other pages within the site after the notice has been displayed, the user may be deemed to have given implied consent to receiving the cookies described in the notice. The requirements and wording of the notice may vary depending on the audience, such as how tech savvy it is.

Failing to comply with the rules may result in a number of actions. In the U.K., those actions range from an information notice and request to comply (on the low end), to a monetary penalty of up to £500,000 (on the high end).

Canadian companies

The U.K. law applies to all companies in the U.K., even if their websites are hosted elsewhere. Likewise, the U.K. Information Commissioner's Office has taken the position that Canadian and other foreign companies should comply with the legislation if their websites are designed for the European market, or if they provide products or services to European customers. Practically, it may be difficult for EU authorities to enforce this law against Canadian companies that have no assets in the EU; however, there are good domestic reasons for Canadian companies to comply with the legislation as well.

Canadian Law

In particular, Canada's anti-spam legislation, which has been passed but not yet implemented, contains similar rules regarding cookies in Canada. The starting point in Canada is that express consent is required to install a computer program on anyone's computer system.

Obtaining consent requires: (a) clearly and simply explaining the purposes for which the consent is being sought; (b) describing the function and purpose of the program and providing all other prescribed information; and (c) obtaining the user's consent. The legislation permits implied consent for cookies if the user's conduct is such that it is reasonable to believe that they have consented to the installation of the cookies.

I agree with it being a stupid law, I didn't make it!
From what I read I believe that if the website may attract EU visitors then you need to apply the rule.
Which I read as any website.

And with nodebb being multilingual that probably implies that the site (or any installation of) needs to at least have this popup option to cover everyones arse.

Hey all,

Under EU law all website visitors must be informed if the site uses cookies or any other storage.

I don't see anything on nodebb to indicate that it complies with this?

This is just one of many sites explaining the law.

@pichalite

Yer I think your right here, I've done a hack for now but knowing quite well that will get over written on the next upgrade.

And even tho this would normally be a minor concern for normal links, links to a another app on the site really need to be in a seperate tab.

So I've had to hack that as well, so I need to get my head around writting some plug-ins and how they all work, I want to fork this one [nodebb-plugin-outside] and see what I can do with it as I think this would serve my purpose but I don't think it's working at the moment.

Do you know if anyone has had any luck with getting any of the debuggers working?

I learn faster by seeing what's going on under the hood.

@pichalite Yep, do you know where?

EDIT: OK found them, /src/user/settings.js line 60

Thanks anyway

@pichalite

Yer wasn't expecting in the ACP, is there not a base template used when creating a new user?
As show email is default off, could I not add this setting?

Hey all,

Does any one know how to set the user default settings.

I'm running the forum as part of something else which generates external links for people to share so need the 'Open link in new tab' the default, I was supprised it's not already default as standard.

Thanks

Dave

@Mega

Ah Ok thank you, I was choosing last option!

Anyway done that got my id, try and save it in the plugin section and nothing happens,
I've restarted twice any ideas? If a paste code code hit save and nothing, come out go back in and not saved?

EDIT: Found and fixed bugs at my end will submit pull requests.

Hey, was just looking at this myself.

I had a look at the imgur option while I was about to post a reply and they asking for a
Authorization callback URL

Now there's no mention of this in the plugin?

So I tried to do it with out the plugin and all I get is

What am I missing?

Thanks

Dave

Hey,

Was wondering how easy would this be to do via a plugin?

I have the popular tags widget displayed in the category(s), now this displays all tags for the forum which can be found by clicking the menu bar.

I would like to limit (filter) the tags to that category and it's children, this would allow people to see what's relevant and give the tag system a bit more meaning.

Thanks

Dave

@psychobunny
Tired to sign twice!

@vatsal

Hey vatsal,

Have you made any progress of using any of the inspectors with nodebb?

Just thought I'd check before going off on a wild goose chase!

I'm having couple of small issues with a couple of plugins so would like to see what's going on under the hood, this will help me get a better understanding of the system faster and help me fix stuff!

Thanks

Dave

@pichalite

Thank you!
