It worked! Thanks!

I can't get the Google Analytics plugin to work because of some NPM issue.

Where could I manually copy and pate my Google Analytics code into?

I get this ERROR after clicking on INSTALL for "nodebb-plugin-google-analytics"

ErrorCommand failed: npm install [email protected] --save npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to /home/jimmy/nodebb/node_modules npm ERR!

I don't know what happened today but I went to my forum and it's offline.

502 Bad Gateway
nginx/1.13.8

I logged in through SSH and typed in sudo ./nodebb status and it say nodebb is not running.

I check on mongo and mongodb and that's all not working either.

This whole thing just went south quick, I'm thinking of just doing a full reinstall but I had a lot of posts up, hours of work put in to jump start this thing.

By the way how come the homepage of NodeBB community forum reads "v1.7.4" I thought it was up to "v1.7.5". Maybe that has something to do with my issue.

One of my users added a website to their profile, when I clicked on it - it didn't open in a new tab like I imagined instead I got this ERROR:

ON PAGE:
Not Found
You seem to have stumbled upon a page that does not exist. Return to the home page.

ADDRESS BAR:
https://www.MyForum.com/user/http;//www.UserWebsite.nl

What do you think happened?

@julian Thank you!

I want "DELAY IMAGE LOADING" un-checked by DEFAULT for every new user because it makes the site feel slow. What lines of code do I need to modify?

@pitaj

I'm using the lavender theme.

Why would it repeat like that? "a day ago" and then again?

@rosannaberardi where is the forum? the link is just to the website. The emoji's show up right on the composer window, it's the simily face icon/symbol.

I wish there was a setting to limit the number of photos a user can upload per post/topic.

I just setup EMAIL and did some testing and found as ADMIN I can't set all NEW user account settings to "Notification & Email" ? They're set to "Notification Only" by default.

So if they (USER) get a REPLY they'll never know about it unless they inexplicably log back in.

That is hugely disappointing! That stifles user engagement which is very bad for new forums.

I'm posting this under Technical Support to ask if this is correct? Or am I missing something? Can I manually dig into the code and change this? Anybody?

Writing Plugins for NodeBB

@pitaj I did, I could see it live at http://myipaddress:4567

I installed like this:
git clone -b v1.7.4 https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git $HOME/nodebb

Used this command to add my domain.
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

for location I've tried everything.
/nodebb/nodebb

I did a pwd

I got this:
/home/name1000/nodebb

I put that and still nothing. When I visit my domain address I get a 404 Not Found.

server {
listen 80;
server_name http://www.MyDOMAIN.com;

#charset koi8-r;
#access_log  /var/log/nginx/host.access.log  main;

}

@baris

sudo nano nodebb/config.json

"url": "http://www.MyDOMAIN.com",

CHANGED THAT TO:

"url": "https://www.MyDOMAIN.com",

I just setup "Let's Encrypt" yesterday but today noticed "Secure" doesn't always show up beside my URL as I'm browsing back and forth through my NodeBB forum.

There's even one forum Topic/Page that always shows up without the "Secure" sign. Even if I repeatedly refresh the page and clear my browser out and come back to it.

Has anyone else experienced this?

@kyletryon I was thinking of using AWS too, sounds like a very appealing idea. I ended up going with a company called "Digital Ocean" And just recently got it all working on their Droplet service. Look into them too.

@pitaj I have the "Persona" theme by default. Is that the right theme? Not seeing anything for enabling thumbnail previews in thread titles.

@jaredbusch link?
