It's pretty common to emit from frontend and use socket.on to receive it in backend.
However, I want to make socket.emit from plugin backend and receive it using socket.on in frontend side of plugin, instead of receiving data via callback.
Is there an example plugin for this?
Thanks.
Hi, I have following:
{
"hook": "filter:config.get",
"method": "configGet"
}
My purpose is to use my own sort method for sorting topics in a category, automatically modifying visible "Sort By" html element with a special sorting method that I implemented, and make it selected automatically.
I tried many hooks but "filter:config.get" was only one that is called before rendering or sending anything to client side. Other hooks such as "filter:categories.buildTopicsSortedSet", "filter:categories.getSortedSetRangeDirection","filter:category.topics.prepare", they all didn't work.
For example, if I changed like following in a method for "filter:categories.buildTopicsSortedSet":
data.settings.categoryTopicSort = 'most_myown';
but in client side, it only shows the previous value of "data.settings.categoryTopicSort", not the value "most_myown".
So I had to use "filter:config.get" because changing config there actually reflects to client side.
To implement it, I first need to check information about category that the user just entered, and append it to config, and send it to client. They are supposed to be done in "configGet" method, which you see above. But I do not know how to get information about category that the user is in. I need to know about category info because my own sorting will only work for certain categories.
Thank you very much.
Hi, is this possible to rename some sort of things using plugin?
I want to to change
"Group" to "Teams",
"Vote" to "Likes"
"Upvoter" to "Liked"
"Downvoter" to "Disliked",
things kinds of things, without modifying original nodebb original source code (modifying themes in node_modules is fine though).
If I have to make a plugin that uses hooks, please let me know which hooks are related to this.
I don't know what to start first, which is proper way to do this. I guess modifying theme looks simplest, but still unsure if that is proper way.
Thank you very much for helps.
No sorry, that didn't solve. But following worked:
Additionally, https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-quickstart doesn't work on v1.16.0.
It shows following error on Chrome and the page got frozen while loading:
colorpicker.js:11 Uncaught TypeError: n.ColorPicker is not a function
at HTMLInputElement.<anonymous> (colorpicker.js:11)
at Function.each (jquery.js:381)
at C.fn.init.each (jquery.js:203)
at Object.n.enable (colorpicker.js:8)
at o (admin.js:31)
at Object.i.init (admin.js:9)
at ajaxify.js:336
at Object.execCb (require.js:1696)
at n.check (require.js:883)
at n.<anonymous> (require.js:1139)
Anyways, it's not to be discussed here I guess.
Thank you very much!

It doesn't fail loading the page, but just generates error on nodebb log.
But I also tried following:
./nodebb reset -a
./nodebb build
And then remove "nodebb-plugin-require" plugin in "node_modules".
Then it generates no more error in nodebb log.
But it then gives this instead:
warn: [meta/dependencies] Bundled plugin nodebb-plugin-require not found, skipping dependency check.
warn: [plugins/nodebb-theme-persona] The plugin.json field "library" is deprecated. Please use the package.json field "main" instead.
And then I installed https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-quickstart
then it starts warning again "error: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/myid/nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-require/plugin.json'".
So, I wondered if nodebb-plugin-quickstart plugin itself only had a problem, so remove all nodebb files and db, then installed original version of v1.16.0 without importing datas from mybb, then installed nodebb-plugin-quickstart, but then it gives no error when entering admin plugin page. Thus I think only upgraded nodebb gets that error.
@pitaj Ops, sorry. yes you are right.
but there isn't such file plugin.json both before and after the upgrade. What should I do?
Thank you very much.
Hello, I upgraded from v1.12.1 to v1.16.0 after importing things from mybb to nodebb.
After upgrade, whenever I go into admin plugin page
(http://localhost:4567/admin/extend/plugins), log generates following error:
2020-12-25T17:06:46.163Z [4567/4022] - error: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/myid/nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-require/plugin.json'
2020-12-25T17:06:46.643Z [4567/4022] - error: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/myid/nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-require/plugin.json'
It generates same message 2 times each time I go to that page.
Following is code in nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-require/plugin.json:

I used following commands when upgrading (Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS):
nvm install v14.15.3 # In order to upgrade node.js version to install higher nodebb version
nvm use v14.15.3 # In order to upgrade node.js version to install higher nodebb version
nvm alias default v14.15.3 # In order to upgrade node.js version to install higher nodebb version
git fetch
git reset --hard origin/v1.16.x
./nodebb reset plugins # only if it generates "Error: EMFILE: too many open files" error while upgrading
./nodebb reset themes # only if it generates "Error: EMFILE: too many open files" error while upgrading
./nodebb upgrade
Thank you very much.
I am now wondering why frontend like React is even needed. Usually React is well-known to works well with node.js backend and allow us to experience smooth web performance because React doesn't re-render whole page newly like refresh since it only modifies virtual dom. But since Node.js itself seems like being able to modify virtual dom without completely re-rendering whole page like old forum softwares do (xenforo, phpbb and so on). I haven't seen nodebb re-render whole page per each page (url) change request, rather it re-render only the parts needed.
Hello, I have imported database from the mybb using importer tool, then upgraded nodebb forum to newest one (1.13.2)
I wanted to make a category become subcategory of another. But like image shows,
Nothing is shown (but I can still select any of those blank fields).
How do I fix this?
