Right now I am building a VM on Koding to get NodeBB up and running...
Thanks to NodeBB, I now have accounts on Heroku, Openshift and Koding

Currently trying to convince the Yii Framework team to change the forum software from IPBoard to NodeBB.

Sass for themes instead of Less
Re: Support for Sass based themes
Seeing that Bootstrap 4 is based on Sass, I guess that you will be moving from Less to Sass for themes soon, right?

RE: [nodebb-plugin-blog-comments] Blog Commenting Engine (Ghost, Wordpress widget)
@julian said:
Yes, you can do this with the blog-comments plugin. Instructions are in that plugin's readme.
Are you talking about the same plugin? The
psychobunny
plugin?
Or is there another generic comments plugin elsewhere?
Because this one is for Wordpress and Ghost ..
Or, do you mean that the instructions for Ghost will work for everything? -
RE: Be able to flag your own post
@Pixel I am sure that we don't want new ways to educate people. There are enough already.
I am referring to the Yii Framework forum and the Ogre3D forum - not exactly small communities.
Where people are already sending PMs because they want you to debug their code, or give them an answer.
I don't think that behaviour should be encouraged.
And adding the option to flag your own post is exactly that. -
RE: nodebb 0.9.2 - moving a post
In my opinion, allowing this would be a major weakness in itself.
Unless I misunderstood what you're saying @sanatisharif - you want to be able to take a topic with no replies and add it as a post to an existing topic?
Why not just let the lonely topic be, and die of age on it's own?
Or at least lock it, either automatically by means of a plugin/setting (old topics goes out of date) - it just feels wrong somehow -
RE: Change email subject
I threw in an
if(found)
just in case - but I am always amazed by how little code is required.
That seem to happen a lot with Node.js and a well written software entitled NodeBB

RE: Be able to flag your own post
In my experience, people will abuse that option to get moderators to answer their question. I already seen it happen too many times elsewhere.
If nothing else, it is a sure-fire way of pissing off over-worked moderators, and could even get you banned -
RE: Noob questions about upgrade 0.8.2 to 0.9.2
@MJ I haven't tested it yet because my installation works and I don't feel like reinstalling just yet
However, from what I've read, doing a git hard reset is what 'you should do', apparently.
My problem was that I thought I could perform a./nodebb upgrade
on an install that I did from a downloaded archive. You need to have checked it out from git. (I reckon). -
RE: Does not work search
I've got
internal error
so our problems might not be related - except Mongo.
They recently switched to Mongo and still have lots of Redis related stuff in the code.. -
RE: Does not work search
Search does not work on my installation either.
I guess it has got to do with Mongo.
It worked with Redis. -

RE: Noob questions about upgrade 0.8.2 to 0.9.2
I have installed NodeBB in every permutation of what is written in the docs, and have failed numerous times.
So, checking out master and performing a reset actually makes
./nodebb upgrade
work?
I must try this at home .. -

RE: Change email subject
It works
(function(module) { "use strict"; var autoreplyit = {}; autoreplyit.filter = function(data, callback) { var re = /http:\/\/nodebbjacmoe-jacmoe\.rhcloud\.com\/topic\/(\d+)/; var str = data.plaintext; var found = str.match(re); data.subject = data.subject + ' #' + found[1]; callback(null, data); }; module.exports = autoreplyit; }(module));
Totally hard-coded, of course
Edit:
I am fully aware that it is only a matter of time before a kind soul points out to me that I can easily get the site url from a dark corner of the API - but, hey: it works.
Now the receiving PHP script can grab the topic id and make sure that it is sent to the right place.
