also: we need images that keep their filename

I've been fiddling with some SSO and embed plugins and I could write a little about the "goodies" a lot of forum admins are looking for I blog quite regularly, so I'll keep this in mind on my nodebb config and testing journey

What's the status of this? Can I just install some mail daemon on my server now and it sends out mails?

I couldn't find it in the docs

btw, my blog post is up http://jonathanmh.com/node-js-based-forum-nodebb/

Great job on this guys!

@julian I don't know what you wanted to do in loader.js, but #1450

Every time I've found nodejs in the wild it was the crazy old stock version of the distribution. Sticking to the node command sounds kinda good to me.

That sounds pretty good! I would love a separate field for this though, auto-complete is kind of a great implementation for this, I agree!

Hi, I just wanted to ask if we can have a field and some filters for tags (maybe even instead of sub-categories).

I don't mean to advertise other products here, but I kinda really dig the way both github and discourse do it. Do you guys have something planned out in this direction?

I was going to bring up woltlab bb (I guess it's only popular in Germany), but actually first porting to phpbb sounds like a smart plan

I have multiple droplets on DO and I'm very, very happy with them until now!

I've tried a bunch of Linux distros, while studying Multi Media Design I had a Macbook, now I'm on Windows 8 (video editing) / Linux Mint and either Linux Mint or Arch Linux on my Laptop. The raspberry PI runs rasbian/debian atm.

I can only recommend a command line workflow for every node or general developer. It's just so much less of a pain on Linux or Mac os, compared to Windows.

I think it's a fair thing to require gulp or grunt to build the product, it's quite common. The problem I see is that this would go into core and I would love to keep that plain JavaScript. Personally I have played with the thought of adding some thing, but that would most likely be plugins. If core has multiple languages or a preprocessor version and a plain version, it could basically scare people off.

When creating a plugin I would both deliver source and a compiled version, so 2. would be what I would do (again, for a plugin, not core).

I don't use coffee script, but I blogged about it on jsnews, so I kinda know of it and have played with it.

First time I looked at the repo the .tpl files struck me.

Did you write your own parser? Aren't there any good node-template parsers with localization?

Maybe this would be a possibility to also make it more intuitive for existing developers that want to contribute themes.

I like NodeBB and want to start using it for one of my forums and eventually all of them if it goes smoothly, but I'm wondering, can I run multiple forums off of one NodeBB instance? This would save update hassles and possibly RAM if my noobish understanding of how NodeJS works is correct.

The bottleneck with Node tends to be CPU, not RAM, but of course it would still save you RAM running all your forums from the same process

I'm currently considering using NodeBB in production and I would love stable branches or tags. I think GitLab actually handles this really well on their github repos!

I don't want to publicly shame them, it's a small german community @trevor

I want to offer a blogging community to migrate them to NodeBB, they're on some horrible php board

@StuartH Sounds like a checkbox option, either for users or the admin:

I agree on the pingback feature, that would actually be nice. I run some blogs and I'm always happy to know when somebody mentions me
