Tags for posts in addition to topics
Over at mangolass.it (managed by @scottalanmiller) we have long had problems with search just completely sucking.
Has anyone ever looked into the feasibility of adding the ability to have tags on individual posts and not just on topics?

RE: SSL : yes or not
@djcyry there is never a reason not to use SSL anymore. The benefit is that the data flowing between my device and your server is encrypted and no one can just slurp up all the data at a random router along the way and see my my stuff.
Yeah most forums are public and such, but not all.

@scottalanmiller said in Tags for posts in addition to topics:
Tags on posts could be pretty useful, I agree.
With the way some topics change course midstream tags on post would be awesome over there.

RE: Group Chat Changes
@Kowlin said:
@exodo any reason you want a option to disable it?
Maybe not a disable, but instead make a max participant value. If the forum admin sets it to 2, then it would be no different than now.
I really want the feature. I cannot count the number of times I have had a chat going and then had to either backfire things to another person, or take it to another medium (Skype/hangouts) in order to get a group chat going.

RE: So Is NodeBB stable?
@NodeForumGod said in So Is NodeBB stable?:
So Is NodeBB stable?
I installed it at one time and it stops moments later.
It made me feel not so trusting it.
Is the software stable? Or Am I doing it wrong?
You are doing something wrong for sure.
I have been running nodeBB for two years or so for my D&D Campaign.
Also the Mangolassi.it community has been running it for nearly 3 years. They have a shit ton of traffic and posts daily.

@gotwf said in How can I migrate from redis to postgresql/mongodb:
Still, maybe one of those can be updated and adapted?
Found a pull request for
nodebb-plugin-import
that gives it postgresql capability.
https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import/pull/240So I think I will try that an use the "vanilla" import and see what works.
That is a project for the weekend when beer is involved.

@gotwf said in How can I migrate from redis to postgresql/mongodb:
My bad. Seems NodeBB folks offer this for a small fee:
They have for years. I first asked this question years ago when they switched to mongo as default.

RE: How can I migrate from redis to postgresql/mongodb
@gotwf said in How can I migrate from redis to postgresql/mongodb:
are you not already using PostgreSQL
No, in 2015, the install options were redis or mongo, with redis the actual default. I didn't feel the need to use Mongo as my site would never be large and redis could easily handle it.
@gotwf said in How can I migrate from redis to postgresql/mongodb:
By "normal", are you referencing PHP and MariaSQL here?
By normal, I mean not using the normal NodeBB options that are default today. That means Ubuntu and Mongo according to the docs. https://docs.nodebb.org/installing/os/ubuntu/

How can I migrate from redis to postgresql/mongodb
Been a year or so since I last posted about this, but now I really need to get off of CentOS 7. I can easily reinstall everything on Fedora 36, but I would like to also get off of redis since the project has changed since I first set this up.
Do I need to give up on NodeBB and move to Discourse or some other backend? I'm not a large site operator, but I've been with NodeBB since version 0.9 or so (November 2015). I like the platform, but I do not like not being on a "normal" design anymore.
Redis was the primary back then, but no longer. I think it would be better if I could convert my system to stay in line with the current install design of NodeBB.
I mean, I an on git v1.19.x (currently 1.19.7) and things still work fine. But for how long will it still work well? Obviously, I need to get off of CentOS 7 because it is causing issues due to old package versions.

RE: Remove login button
@pitaj said in Remove login button:
@jaredbusch you could try something like this in your custom css in the ACP:
a[href="/login"] { display: none !important; }
That did it.

RE: Remove login button
so as a quick test, a little searching in the persona theme source login, I found I could refine it to this.
https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/search?q=guest+login
Then I added a quick inline style command to hide it in those 6 returned locations.
Then there were two place in
/templates/partials/menu.tpl
that referenced/login
. I did the same there.
Would this be simple enough for a theme setting? Obviously not as an inline style.. that was simply the easilet/quickest way to see if hiding those elements worked.
Rebuilt and gone.

RE: Remove login button
@pitaj said in Remove login button:
Easiest way is probably too hide it with CSS.
That is what I was assuming I would need to do. Was hoping though.
Any pointer on the best way to handle it, that will survive upgrades, before I try and break things?
