    • RE: Who is using NodeBB?

      @baris www.orgcoin.org will be using it when we launch. Orgcoin is a crypto-currency dedicated to supporting worthy causes as well as charities and non-profits. Our website needs some stellar community features and it looks to me like NodeBB has what we need without a lot of cruft.

    • RE: Bug on hosted version

      @julian Yeah it's something I'm really going to need. Funds are very, very tight to get the site launched at the moment which is why we went with the Hamlet. I've setup a URL redirect for the time being, not sure if it's my DNS or what but it's still resolving to www.nodebb.org instead of orgcoin.nodebb.com.

      I'm not sure what i need to do to make this happen at this point. Do we have to pay $100 more to upgrade for this one feature, or are there any other options?

      Thanks!

    • RE: Bug on hosted version

      Ok I'm thinking this may have been something to do with DNS caching.
      Now the site looks fine except it's going straight to nodebb.com instead of orgcoin.nodebb.com.
      Any advice on what I need to do to get that part functional? i.e. mydomain.com pointing to sub.yourdomain.com and having it resolve properly?

      Thanks!

    • Bug on hosted version

      There seems to be a slight problem on the hosted version of nodebb.
      I'm honestly not sure what's causing it. I'm hoping you guys could look into it.
      I know this is supposed to be community support only, but frankly it looks like something on your end.
      Please check out www.orgcoin.org
      You can see that it looks like there is something significantly wrong with the theme.
      I've not made any changes to the theme, it should all be default.

      Thanks!

    • RE: Need a custom theme or plugin for NodeBB

      @psychobunny I'm very interested in a completely custom theme.
      We have a site launching soon using nodebb. I'd like to have a "news" section on the front page and the forums listed as "community" similar to what you have here.

      We are a non-profit that raises funds for other non-profits as well as pretty much any good cause.
      We have an "in-house" crypto currency that can be merge mined with Litecoin.
      100% of our profits each month go to a worthy cause selected by our members. One thing we would really love to have is a polling feature.

      Tons of other little things I would like to see done as well. If you're interested please feel free to contact me.

    • How to make my site my own?

      Ok so forgive my noobishness. I've searched and I'm not seeing it.
      Currently using the Cerulian theme. I'd like to ditch the blue section on the home page that reads...
      NodeBB v0.2.1

      Welcome to NodeBB, the discussion platform of the future.

      Wouldn't mind just changing the text, but the more I look at it, the more I realize I think I want that whole section gone. I figure if I can just get that gone I'll be well on my way to custom theming.

      Anyways what/where do I change to get that part gone?

      Thanks!

    • RE: Tablets

      I can confirm this.
      Even the www.nodebb.org site has real issues on iOS. Just try rotating your tablet or phone a couple of times to see what I mean. This may be a problem with WebKit in general though because on Linux my webkit based browsers don't really render these sites correctly either.

    • RE: Bug or Security Feature, I'm not really sure.

      Ok so here's an update...

      Something must've gone wrong during the initial setup. Like I said before I really had to fight to figure out the right way to get NodeBB to play nice with mongo on Cloud9.
      I was able to solve the issue and here's how (maybe the HOWTO run on Cloud9 can be updated with this information).

      First I shut down mongo and node completely.
      Next I restarted mongod, logged into mono shell.
      Typed "use 0"
      Then db.dropDatabase(0)

      Next I recreated DB 0 and added an user with readWrite & dbAdmin roles.
      use 0
      db.addUser(...)

      Afterwards I exited the shell and restarted mongo again (that may not have been nessecary).

      Finally I went ahead and ran node app --setup again.
      It worked flawlessly that time.
      I'm now in and able to perform all the admin functions. Also the site just plain looks better right now. My guess is that some junk was caught up in the DB and effecting the theme/layout and other misc bits that put the spit and polish on the site.

      Now, for my next trick I've got to find a way for the application to pick up it's settings (esp DB settings) from environment variables. That way when a new instance is spun up it will connect to the proper DB instance and do it's thing. Fortunately in OpenShift the mongodb vars come pre-set. Unfortunately the DB is inaccessible from outside the OpenShift environ so there is no way to test DB connectivity until I push the codebase up to the instances.

      It's going to be fun. When I get it figured out I'll submit a patch if you're interested to allow Node to get it's settings from environment vars instead of config.json, thus allowing it to fire right up on OpenShift (possibly AWS as well).

    • RE: Bug or Security Feature, I'm not really sure.

      Never tried it with Redis, but @psychobunny had a tutorial on getting nodebb going on Cloud9. I basically followed it and substituted mongo for reddis. Still the fact a tutorial is posted about C9 without any sort of caveats, in my mind points to "this is an issue only when using mongo".

      It never asked me any of those questions.
