long live adr..

I think i still have everysingle addon ever made.

I miss seteo blokes website, espeially the albums with chicks in it

so that was what I googled, and one of the top searches was a wikipedia page.

I noticed, Nodebb wasn't on there, even as an option.

Comparison of Internet forum software - Wikipedia

(en.wikipedia.org)

No the top right button that is 'grey'

Edit is now working.. But drop down still doesn't work

Also can't edit either

So I'm on my mobile and when I click on the drop box (top left hand corner nothing happens)

Bug maybe.

@psychobunny is a real superstar, but the community as a whole (users/developers) is real good one. Which is why I personally would stay with NodeBB over say Discourse, which I would say would be NodeBB's only real competitor.

I actually Prefer the old version's home screen. I liked the way it looked and was more like a news paper and less like a forum.

As mentioned would be nice to have an easier way to quote someone.

Also, @psychobunny

Also, any idea on when nodebb 1.0 is released? and is there a road map?

@LeeM

I believe it is only

Ruby and Git
that you should install. If you are after a really good tutorial for what to install use
https://developers.openshift.com/en/getting-started-windows.html#client-tools

and to run it on openshift, the docs is usefull (don't skip the first step) Then cut to openshift on PaaS
https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/nodebb/latest/nodebb.pdf

When it says to Exit SSH, close it down. and open it again
(when you get to the CD) section

@LeeM

openshift is free for up to 3 running projects

while i agree with you completely,

if you have been developing for 25 years you are doing yourself a disfavor not learning command line/terminal.

pretty much any host/vps or dedicated will cost you.

All the new technologies, will require you to learn this new way of interacting with your host. And you need to move past static websites, and move to dynamic, interactive technologies.

think of it like moving away from pushrod carborettors to twin cam fuel injected.

and this thread is only a day or so old. Give the developers a bit of a break. I bet they don't get paid to do this, and probably have their own jobs

I think they have made the best possible decision. Those other forums can be installed by a (Hosting provided) control panel without touching the command line at all. NodeBB runs on a completely different platform, they can't just make a cPanel installer afaik, which would be the best possible solution. So, they've done the next best thing and offered their own managed hosting.

There are significant reasons why people wouldn't leave their board for a manged hosting board. It's not exactly the same and literally would appeal to less then 1% of the thousands of users that use the other formats.
The reason they use those is mostly how cost effective they are, and the amount of control they have with it.
I don't think a cPanel installer is the answer, but a good tutorial that takes them slowley through the process that is from their site. with The dumped data to a new install on x host.

I'm not saying the documentation is fantastic though, it could definitely use some improvements. (Specifically, it relies on those single command line entries to work, and doesn't give you much to go on if something derps up.) BUT, it is still much better imo then other docs I've seen for other forums when doing a non-control panel install.

I've used all of those forums I mentioned and everyone has a very comprehensive easy to use install.
NodeBB needs a better one. But that isn't to say it should be left up to the NodeBB team.
It is a community software. The community could take some responsibility to compile a list/step by step guide on what to do.

I know I would rather NodeBB developers spend their time on NodeBB core not a tutorial.

I'm still a "Noob" myself in that sense. But i may make a tutorial for windows users, that takes them from that state, to a state where they meet the basic requirements for the tutorials listed.

I'm not developing with NodeBB, but it is the chosen BB I will when I finish my project.

What's difficult about copying a command 1 line at a time into ssh and pressing enter?

There is no one guide fits all. It's tough to account for server operating systems like Ubuntu and other distros.

I think you fail to understand what he's saying.

For someone new to this. especailly from the
"upload files via FTP,"
"create DB via MySql"
"go to url and press install buttom"
like phpbb, xenforo, vb, ipb, vanilla, mybb, Simple Machine. And more.

Comapred to the ease of that Nodebb is complicated.

They wont even not what command line is or Docker or SSH

Especially for windows users

The guides assume you know how git works or command line.

I know I for one 2 weeks ago. was in that situation.

@Mega , have uploaded this pic, simply these are 3 dif screenshots in the one pic.

First is initial reload pushes all adjacent horizontal categories downwards leaving gap in masonary, middle is after 2 reloads (perfect, what we want), last one is after navigating and coming back to the front page.

I have a solution to cause a page reload whenever condition is met in

$(document).on('ready', function() {}

if condition matches front page url. But obviously you would not advise this

EDIT: scratch that can't even get that to work since a root url link just doesn't exist. lol I'll keep trying

Have you got this facebook plugin working?

Is it even possible to integrate a plug in that posts to a 'group'

I'm sure FB only allows posting to fan pages and walls.

That being said, I know you can do 'Canvas' app for NodeBB on FB, but this only integrates with FB notifiactions
On the Browser, where as you'll find most of the time they check FB via mobile. And FB mobile is not compatible with
Canvas or any external FB notifications.

So you are probably going to be disappointed with it's results.

Also, on that note. I've found it susccefull for mobile users, using a push notification app. That notifies users on events.
And when they are notified, it refers them back to your forum. via a webui Browser in the app.
This works great with a Responsive design or a dedicated mobile browser.

I'm always around reading, but at the moment I'm finding it to time intensive to spend time working out how to setup NodeBB on a server, and my current server isn't set up for it.

I might not always post, but I'm around, thanks Julian.

@psychobunny Is this new version of Open Fantasy standalone? or is it dependent on NodeBB?

Will you support it on your openFANTASY forum?

Big Thanks I found it, it's called openfantasy, my search for ADR 2 wasn't coming up.. thanks

Where can you download this version, No link to it on OpenFANTASY Either??

Thanks @psychobunny
