Thanks, recently I've debugged and eliminated bugs on socket.io Qt binding.
I'll look into src/socket.io/modules.js and SocketModules.chats.

By the way, which is best IDE to debug front-end code on NodeBB?
If possible, give me more reputations.

@pitaj Global widget is not what I want, as when user click some link inside the forum, the widget loads once again, that is not what I want. I need something like navigation bar.

I want to know if people use it for malicious perpose? For instance, some could run a script that frequently post ADs to our forum, thus cause our forum unable to run normally? Is it possible to use it without administrative permission?

Hello respected engineers. First thanks for your excellent works, I've successfully run my forum http://qtdream.com for over 8 months.

As the title implies, we takes interests in the instant chatting bundled by the forum, and wants to do that both on web and on client. We've chosen Qt as our technical stack, the ground development has been established, that is to rewrite socket.io client library in Qt( C++ ), which is currently WIP.
My question is how nodebb manages instant chat? what js files and functions are to be noted? I need some help.

I want to figure out how could this message to be triggered, and want to make our own event handler.
Thanks in advance.

@yariplus Maybe I will use it when I realize that it is truly useful for me. At present, I'll just see it without use it.

I've tried integrate NodeBB with basic CMS myself. See Qt Dream Site.
Anyone who is willing to participate our project are welcome to @jiangcaiyang in Qt Dream.

As the title says, is there any way to make a SSO plugin using our forum data?

Hello, after months of running NodeBB instance, I've acculumated quite a few data from my database. But perhaps I've made something wrong with my mongodb, there are still some failure to our forum, i.e, I could not delete certain user from our chat room whereas I can when adding user to chat room.
Is there any plugin or tool that can clean and tidy the database of my own, cleaning the dirty data from our database? Thanks.

If it is not behaves what you've chosen the access category checkbox?

Thanks a lot for your support! HTML sanitizer is a good feature for me. It allows various built in HTML snippets to be available whereas does not expose users security issue. I'll give a try.

@pitaj Global widget is not what I want, as when user click some link inside the forum, the widget loads once again, that is not what I want. I need something like navigation bar.

As NodeBB is partially updated, I wonder if there is a container for a widget or <div> to run across the site. Navigation bar is an example, but there is no user-defined container available till present.

I met the problem, It is maybe not updating fileMap.json. I don't know how to fix it.

When I enable this plugin, I have the following problem:

Then it points to the following code:

Who do better? I am confused.

Hello, long time no visit this site. Recently I updated my forum to 1.7.3, but gets error on ./nodebb upgrade. Here is the output:

/node_modules/semver/semver.js:293
    throw new TypeError('Invalid Version: ' + version);
    ^

TypeError: Invalid Version: upgrades

more sensitive data omitted

It seems the new version of code has problem.

Is there any hook to perform custom steps, I need to change some text in .tpl file. I am using sed command to perform replacement, this step need to be placed before "nodebb build", and another replacement using sed need to be placed after "nodebb build". So I need the hooks, or is there any way to modify source code to get the same results? Thanks in advance.

I am totally get confused by the output message:

winston.warn('[widgets.render] passing a string is deprecated!, filter:widget.render:' + widget.widget + '. Please set hookData.html in your plugin.');

There isn't any full example showing the correct way to code.
So I turn the forum for help, is there any people who could give me an example showing how to let the warning not showing?

Hope the guys be more professional.
