The year is very close to ending. When would you set the submission date?

And I'd love to join this one. Been getting more involved with NodeBB plugins and I'd like to try my hand at a plugin + widget combination. Haven't touched widgets yet.

Actually, yes. That is something I've been wanting to do. I jumped into NodeBB development as a total newbie to Javascript, so I probably have a good perspective for beginners. I have some formal education in technical writing as well.

Please do this! We need more tutorials and technical guides. I've been trying to immerse myself more in the source and writing plugins so I can write some stuff for the community.

Thank you all for your responses! I love this community..

@baris and @a_5mith I've considered the registration queue, but as I mentioned I cannot be online 24/7 and if a user is pending for a few hours before they can join the site it might turn them away.

No, I want to keep with the email registration. But I also want a tool to compensate my paranoia. (TY @BDHarrington7 for directing me to the "follow "feature. That is closer to what I need.)

@Kowlin in your experience do you find that delegating that power to the users can lead to pointless drama? I have been involved in a forum that used a voting a system for keeping/banning users. It was easily rigged with false accounts and "ganging up" on unpopular users.

Hi Guys! I maintain a pretty small gaming forum with NodeBB and I feel comfortable with all my members. When a new user joins, usually they can be traced to another user's reference or etc. Today was the first time I got a new user and no one could vouch for him.

While excited, I was also worried. We chatted a little, you know I was just welcoming him to the forum, but now I'm worried. What if this guy tries to mess up my forum by chatting offensive things to other users or spamming some of the threads? I cannot monitor the forum 24-7..I have to sleep and work.

So I was curious how other forum admins handle this problem. Is there a plugin out there that allows you to monitor a user's activity and be alerted everytime they make a post/chat to someone?

Thanks for reading!

I just switched to 0.8.2 today and was able to dismiss notifications on my Macbook.

Thank you @baris! I totally forgot about this. I've included my code for future reference.

$(document).on('click', '.my-class', function() {
   // do stuff
});

I have written a plugin for parsing out some text in each post and replacing it with some HTML. Now I want to add event listeners to these HTML elements for when the user clicks on them.

$(document).ready only works when the page is first loaded. I discovered that I have to use $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', func) by browsing other plugins, but this only adds the listeners when navigating to the topic. If a user adds a new post or edits a post, the replaced HTML within that post will not be interactive (they cannot click on it).

Which hook should I use for adding event listeners to edited posts or created posts?

I think this is plugin territory. In my forum I have several threads where only admins can post updates for users. Not really a discussion topic, more of a change log or mini blog. If posts were to start merging the updates would get tangled.

Just one use case, but I'd prefer the core code not to automatically join double posts....or at least make it an option.

This is a great idea, I'm just mulling over a safe way to implement this..

If produced in exact way you defined, then it would be easier for someone to spam their competitor's plugin with bogus complaints and unnecessarily mar a good author's reputation.

Hmmm...great idea though...

Thank you @psychobunny! I'll look into how to modify the library for that.

@lulzdevlol Nice to see someone else using Dredge! That's my favorite mechanic.
