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.

Best, Riccardo

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!
