Thought i'd post this before i go do something different entirely with the CSS.

I i decided to get a website up so i can play with the files but i've ran into a snag. How do you edit the nginx configuration file? My website still needs the port number.

I've been reading all of your tutorials but this step is usually unexplained because it's too easy.

Something i talked about ages ago was a plugin that enabled geotagging for threads so that threads could be searched/browsed on a map like craigslist. This would require lots and lots of hours but at this point i think the community has grown and may consist of enough supporters to make it possible.

hey, finally putting my nodebb site together. Havent looked at the recent changes yet. Im interested in some categories displaying the featured image and some not. It would be nice if i could do this by switching between different category templates.

Same with the post templates too.

@Giorgio-Chiodi said:

@trevor let's trash categories and only use tags.
Also, let's thrash THREADS and only use tags.
Like Twitter.

Of course, you would have to introduce a "reply to" system like twitter is doing, so that you are able to follow a conversation.

Lets trash everything and just pass around a notepad.

so after talking to trevor and seeing comvoe, and now galaxygraph.fr i really want to get my site going. If there are devs out there please let me know. I want to run something like convoe and galaxygraph, but id like the first category to be closed to replies only and used as a blog for admin. Then five or so other public categories.

Theres a few other things down the pipeline. Id like featured images used in posts, and maybe even categories .tpl.

And a few other ideas that will be, well, expensive, and better suited for when nodebb is out of beta.

Please help! The url will be bikenode.com
Ive played with customizing stylesheets and tpl design a bit in the past. If you can help shoot me an email

Thanks.

I'm thinking this Disqus/Facebook style feature would be nice.

haha wow im amazed at the quickness you work.eventually i'll make a template but i'm still feeling out things.

i love images. once someone figures out a way to take images from the topic and identify the lead images for topics, you could start to make blog themes

I've used VBulletin for 14 years, and Vanilla for 7. people are tired of forums and i dont think you guys should compare yourself much to these dying platforms. "Forum" is a dirty word right now and the more I can aesthetically and functionally distance myself from "forum" the better. I personally am hoping to make this look as much like a blog as possible without losing forum versatility and functionality.

that's pretty cool. The embed.ly plugin already works great for embedding everything too, so i guess it comes down to what oembed looks like when its in use compared to embedly.

@Mr_Waffle you are seriously awesome!

Did anyone notice that the images show up in the main page now? This is awesome. How do i get my website to do the same? Images are restricted to 20x20

That might be a good plugin request: enable html for admin/above X reputation

I'm fairly sure there's a way to do it, isnt there? Running into some issues. Backup failed.
