I'd like to add www.schoenen-dunk.de
That's a German basketball community which is running for almost 18 years by now. We thought about moving form our own software to NodeBB for quite a few years and were more or less forced to do so end of last year.

@baris said in recent, top, popular & unread do not respect read rights:

Please provide reproduction steps. For example on this forum the Testing Ground category is not visible to guests. https://community.nodebb.org/category/4/testing-ground. So if you browse this forum as a guest it doesn't show up on /recent and it won't be visible in the category dropdown on that page either.

Your quick reply (and example) made it easier for us to identify it as a layer 8 problem. Our subcategories did not have the expected rights. Sorry for raising this as a bug!

I already reported this on github - this is just for the information of other users:
There seems to be a bug in saving group information. I noticed it, when trying to display some badges for certain groups. I faced the situation on

• NodeBB version: 1.16.1

Steps to reproduce are:

- Admin->Manage->Groups ->click'Show Badge'
- Saving information 'Success Changes saved!' is displayed
- Leave Page ->'You have unsaved changes. Are you sure you wish to navigate away?' is displayed
- Re-check resent changes: Changes not saved for checkboxes: 'Show Badge', 'Private', 'Disable join requests', 'Disallow users from leaving the group', 'Hidden'

Once you raised your questions, @Paul-Chambers, my seems to fit even better as I believed.

I am facing the following problem. Since our forum is sport related there tends to be lot of communication during game time (aka: Ooh what a monster block). We would like to move those shouts into a chat. Other as shoutbox or global chat everybody should be able to sign in or out to that chat by his own.
So my question seems to come down to:

• is there the possibility to sign into (and out of) a chat room

I am not absolutely sure, but I believe I saw the possibility to create a chatroom using the API in one of the above mentioned plugins.

@paul-chambers
would you mind me adding another question regarding the chat API? It has different scope, but might suite here as well

It finally showed up - but that definitely took a quite a while. Maybe I was fooled by cached content?

@baris

sure, I did. And resolved the dependencies as well

I searched quite a while for GDPR consent and did (not suprisingly) found this thread:

Re: Is NodeBB compliant with the GDPR (the newest legislative spam by the EU)?

As far as I understood most of the discussion is made there. Furthermore I understood that the GDPR plugin was made for migrating old forums to the new consent mostly required by EU regulations in May 2018. So my problem in 2021 is:

I would like to ask all our users to consent once again AND to change the sources they are consenting to. I thought the gdpr plugin might be helpful - but as far as I understand I am not capable to unset the consent state with it. So basically my questions are two:

• how do I unset the consent state of (all) users?
• are they forced to consent for the next login?

nice idea but did not work for me

Installed the plugin, it does show up in the installed plugin list. Once I click the button 'Settings' the spinner starts and does not stop. No additional information in the logfile unfortunately

@baris

You definitely misunderstood me. The information you provided was well known to me But probably my question was just not clear enough - it's me to blame

At
admin->advanced->logger it is possible to configure a custom/devel log (works like charm). I'd like to rotate this logfile using the software (and not logrotate.d) since the rotation of the 'main' logfile is already done within the software I thought of adopting the method in loader.js, Therefore I was looking for the place in the code, where the devel.log is defined/created.

I would like to adopt the logrotation out of

loader.js

for the devel log but have trouble to loacate the file, where it is created.

One of our users reported the following:

Posts are sorted incorrectly in the feed in case of updates (at the time of the update of the post)
[...]
In the XML/RSS, the order of the posts is correct, but the publication date of the edited post is updated. At least this confuses my feed reader

Is this a known issue?
