Hi guys, I've an easy question likely related to me being rusty.

In one of my forum I'm seeing the deleted threads appearing in the category listing even though "view deleted posts" is active only for moderators. Is it expected? Shouldn't these threads being removed in the category view even if they were not purged but only marked as deleted?

Thanks, R

Hi community first and foremost thank for your valuable support.

I need to retrieve custom data I've written to mongoDB and I'd like them to be returned as JSON string via a custom WriteAPI-enabled route.

A few notes to give a better context:

• I'm currently on Ubuntu 18 / nodebb 1.16.2 / Mongo DB 4.0.22 / npm 6.14.10

• I've already read

  • extends nodebb write-api?
  • Extending routes into the write api plugin

• I've looked at

  • nodebb-plugin-friends on GitHub
  • WriteAPI doc
  • ReadAPI doc

• and, in the end, I've created an API Access token bound to the forum administrator which works nicely to read and write in the forum (e.g. retrieving the topics or creating a new one)

Issues:

• Upon installing nodebb-plugin-friends (clone and npm link) and activating in a pristine test forum I can see the hook in Advanced -> Hooks but:
  • why looking at the nodebb log (run as ./nodebb dev) I can't see [plugins/friends] Write API integration enabled, routes added. as specified here?
  • assuming I'm using Postman for testing purposes how should i reach these routes? (none of these - <url/to/nodebb>/api/v3/friends/:uid, <url/to/nodebb>/api/friends/:uid, <url/to/nodebb>/friends/:uid, <url/to/nodebb>api/v3/plugins/friends/:uid - worked for me)
• Upon creating a test plugin (see below library.js and plugin.json) I'm not able to reach any of the established new routes (as much as reported above): how can I debug the issue? Log is silent and

library.js

'use strict';

(function(routes) {

  routes.initWriteRoutes = function(data, callback) {

    data.router.get('/route1', data.apiMiddleware.requireUser, data.apiMiddleware.requireAdmin, middleware.verifyUserExists, function(req, res) {
      console.log("/route1 reached via get");
      res.sendStatus(200);
    });

    data.router.post('/route2', data.apiMiddleware.requireUser, middleware.verifyUserExists, function(req, res) {
      console.log("/route2 reached via post");
      res.sendStatus(200);
    });

    data.router.delete('/route3', data.apiMiddleware.requireUser, middleware.verifyUserExists, function(req, res) {
      console.log("/route3 reached via delete");
      res.sendStatus(200);
    });

    console.log('[plugins/test] Write API integration enabled, routes added.');
    callback(null, data);
  };

}(module.exports));

plugin.json

{
  "library": "./library.js",
  "hooks": [
      { "hook": "filter:plugin.write-api.routes", "method": "initWriteRoutes" }
  ]
}

• assuming nodebb-plugin-friends is installed why the log reports info: [api] Adding 0 route(s) to 'api/v3/plugins' with 0 new routes? Shouldn't it include at least the new routes coming with this plugin?

I apologise for the length of this post, but I think this might help you to steer me in the right direction.

Hi community,

is it possible to specify multiple tags in the Tags page or to even define boolean expression with (AND, OR, NOT)?

Best, KK

@julian that's awesome thanks a lot!

@baris Thanks a lot!

Hi community,

can anybody tell me how is constructed the post request sent when the submit button is pressed for a new post?

Cheers, R

@baris said in Possible to get user id from email from api?:

https://community.nodebb.org/api/user/email/[email protected]

Hi @baris, how can I get this request sent from a python script and get pre-authenticated via Python?
I tried with authorization bearer token but it seems it works only with api/v3, and in api v3 I've no chance to retrieve the user id from an email.

Thanks for any help

Hi guys,

after migrating data from another forum engine to nodeBB at Maxon - @Jay-Moonah - we found that the "In categories" field in Advanced Search is empty.

We've never experienced it before, and I wonder if it's a theme issue or a data migration issue.

PS. dbsearch indexes have been successfully recreated.

Cheers, Riccardo

Hi all, this is indeed a dumb question but better asking and sound dumb rather than taking dumb decisions.

I'm thinking to buy the following option and I wonder if it would be enough to run a forum with a peak of 600 concurrent users.

I'm pretty confident that the number of concurrent connections to Mongo DB (max 500) has nothing to do with the number of users connections to the forum, but would be great if somebody confirms based on his/her experience.

Cheers, R

@julian is this approach also used to track read/unread posts (not only notifications)? We've experienced both on our nodeBB instance, as well as here, that the unread category only presents posts/thread that are no more that 1 week old.

Is it safe to change -7 in something more reasonable to us?

cutoff = new Date(today.getFullYear(), today.getMonth(), today.getDate() - 7);

This is a must have here at Maxon.

Cheers, R

@baris Thanks a lot! Have a great weekend!

@baris said in Parsing upgrade scripts... takes forever:

db.objects.getIndexes()

[ { "v" : 2, "key" : { "_id" : 1 }, "name" : "_id_" } ]

@baris How to verify that the indexes on the collection are there? The mongorestore showed no flaws during the restore
