@baris Alright. Clear. Thanks a lot!

@baris where exactly should I implement my custom logic? Is it after firing the hook and filtering the hook result, or somewhere else?

I am using the hook filter:category.topics.prepare to get all tids under certain category. I need to filter this tids based on certain condition, because I don't want to load the whole topics under the category. What is the best approach to do this?

This is piece of code that I currently use (copied from src/categories/topics.js) :

   let results = await plugins.hooks.fire('filter:category.topics.prepare', data);
   const tids = await Categories.getTopicIds(results);
   let topicsData = await topics.getTopicsByTids(tids, data.uid);

Thanks in advance.

@baris said in Making a topic content NOT mandatory:

Try with this change https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/8c762d3228ee622984a6eb4bad5cbec810c27e60 and let me know.

It works!
Thanks a lot @baris

Can I make the content of a main post becomes NOT mandatory when creating a topic?
Currently I create a topic by using API with this json body:

{
    "cid": 5,
    "title": "Topic title",
    "content": "Topic content for main post",
    "tags": [
        "Development"
    ]
}

I want to remove the content field so the json body becomes like this:

{
    "cid": 5,
    "title": "Topic title",
    "tags": [
        "Development"
    ]

I know I can set the post length to 0 in ACP, but I got this response when creating topic without the content field

{
    "status": {
        "code": "bad-request",
        "message": "Please enter a longer post. Posts should contain at least 0 character(s)."
    },
    "response": {}
}

Basically I want to make the content field optional. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

@baris said in How do I disable file logging?:

The configuration of the logger is here https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/prestart.js#L12-L45

Thank you!

Hello, is there any way I can disable file logging? I only need the console output logging. I can see this code for web install logging:

winston.configure({
	level: 'verbose',
	format: winston.format.combine.apply(null, formats),
	transports: [
		new winston.transports.Console({
			handleExceptions: true,
		}),
		new winston.transports.File({
			filename: 'logs/webinstall.log',
			handleExceptions: true,
		}),
	],
});

But not for global logging system. Thanks in advance.

I recently deployed my NodeBB in a docker container, and install the plugin locally by copying my plugin into node_modules directory.
When I started the NodeBB server, I got this message:

2023-01-24T08:59:05.922Z [4567/181] - warn: [plugins] "nodebb-plugin-my-plugin" is active but not installed.

This is my Dockerfile content:

FROM node:16.14.0

RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app &&  chown -R node:node /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
RUN apt-get install git

    silent=false

EXPOSE 4567

USER root
RUN chown root:root ./ -R

CMD node ./nodebb activate nodebb-plugin-my-plugin; node ./nodebb build; node ./nodebb start -l

The plugin was successfully installed when I run it without docker container.
Please give me some suggestions. Thanks in advance.

@baris how can I miss this piece of code Thanks for pointing me out! Solved!

Happy new years

How can I get all of the users who upvote/downvote a post? How can I add those voters data (usernames or pids) to the json response of this API endpoint https://localhost:4567/api/category/1 ?

Please help. Thank you.

Update:

I saw this code in NodeBB unit test:

helpers.connectSocketIO = function (res, callback) {
	const io = require('socket.io-client');
	let cookies = res.headers['set-cookie'];
	cookies = cookies.filter(c => /express.sid=[^;]+;/.test(c));
	const cookie = cookies[0];
	const socket = io(nconf.get('base_url'), {
		path: `${nconf.get('relative_path')}/socket.io`,
		extraHeaders: {
			Origin: nconf.get('url'),
			Cookie: cookie,
		},
	});

	socket.on('connect', () => {
		callback(null, socket);
	});

	socket.on('error', (err) => {
		callback(err);
	});
};

I have followed this code but still get the same result.

@oplik0 thanks for your detail explanation.

I have tried to change my configuration as you suggest. Here is my config:

Here is my client code:

var socket = io('https://dev-forum.domain.io', {
            transport: ["polling", "websocket"],
            path: "/socket.io/",
            extraHeaders: {
                withCredentials: true,
                cookie: 'express.sid=s%3Am0UuuyatTTSajjAnI5gGSukaJSHJaiKpIVhb3H7L.TW4c4vZn4blOnWV1gilF9HhMqFc9g9V7NnLLZHMAmFg; Domain=dev-forum.domain.io; Path=/; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax',
            },
});

Now I got this error on my console:

Refused to set unsafe header "cookie"
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://dev-forum.domain.io/socket.io/?EIO=4&transport=polling&t=OKjgnov' from origin 'http://localhost:3000' has been blocked by CORS policy: Request header field withcredentials is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response.

@baris I have tried to create some users and performing ban/unban the users. Still no event received.

Update:

I can receive an event event:user_status_change on my browser console by using this additional code to catch all events:

       var listener = (eventName, ...args) => {
            console.log(eventName, args);
        }

        socket.onAny(listener);

But still, I can not receive event:new_post and event:new_topic. Did I miss something?

@PitaJ I tried to make a new post and a new topic. But there is no event received by the socket event handler. Is there any documentation regarding this issue?

Hello, I am trying to get a realtime update for my custom frontend. I tried to connect to the socket endpoint using this plain jquery code:

        var socket = io('http://localhost:4567', {
            transport: ["polling", "websocket"],
            path: "/socket.io/",
        });

        socket.on('connect', () => {
            console.log("Connected ...");
        });

        socket.on('event:new_post', function (data) {
            console.log(data);
        });

        socket.on('event:new_topic', function (data) {
            console.log(data);
        });

I can get the connect response on the browser console, but when I create a new topic, I can not get the update. Am I doing something wrong?

Please give me some advice. Thank you

@baris thank you! I'll try your solution and update here

Hello, I am creating a custom frontend using nodebb API. I want to get all the topics inside a category, along with the main post of that topic. Currently I can get all the topics inside a category using this endpoint:

http://localhost:4567/api/category/1

And I got this json response:

  ...
  ...

"topics": [
		{
			"cid": 1,
			"lastposttime": 1670832226781,
			"mainPid": 7,
			"postcount": 4,
			"slug": "5/bbca-mencapai-ath-di-harga-9000",
			"tid": 5,
			"timestamp": 1670829972612,
			"title": "$BBCA mencapai ATH di harga 9000",
			"uid": 3,
			"viewcount": 11,
			"postercount": 3,
			"teaserPid": 11,

  ...
  ...

This response only give me the mainPid that forces me to make another API call to get the post detail content. How can I modify this response, so I can get the whole content of the main post (not only the mainPid)? or at least the complete post content?

Please give me some advice. Thank you.
