Thanks, i will check this.

Hi everyone,

i am currently in the move from a traditional forum to NodeBB. But i've realized there is no working plugin any longer which shows images in postings in a lightbox or fancybox instead opening a new browser tab.

The existing plugins aren't working any longer with the latest versions of nodeBB.

Any chances to get this done? I'm not good in programming, so writing a plugin on my own might take years

Thanks

Thanks, now the testing can start with my testers. a not working search would have been a show stopper.

Thanks for your input.

Hello again,

meanwhile i have access and can report the following versions:

NodeBB v3.12.3
nodebb-plugin-dbsearch 6.2.5
MongoDB 7.0.16

And.... It works! (see screenshot)
No idea why, maybe my instance has realized i am asking the experts here

The content of my forum will be mainly german. Do i need to switch the db search language to that as well? What will happen if the language is mixed, what is the purpose of this setting?

Thanks in advance

Thanks. I will check it later once i have access to the system again. Currently en route.

EDIT: I've checked it on your tryout version at https://try.nodebb.org/ where i registered an account for testing.
When i am searching for "Welcome" in titles and posts, it also doesn't return a result, even if there a a post with this word in title published. But i don't know if in your tryout the dbsearch plugin is enabled.

However, the result is the same as in my installation. Will verify mine later.

@baris Thanks for quick response.

Yes, the content is reported as "indexed". I've also tried to rebuild it. Rebuild works without errors , but the results are the same. The search itself seem to work, but it comes back with "nothing found". Just like there is no content with the search term i entered

Hello everyone,

for testing purposes i have installed NodeBB successfully on a Ubuntu 24.04 LTS server.
So far everything is working, except the search.

Whenever someone is searching for content which is definitively posted in my instance, the search returns no results.
I've tried it with the DB search plugin and alternatively with solr running in parallel on that machine.
But independent from what is in use, the search returns nothing.

It's also not language dependend, i've tried it with german and english as well.

Any ideas how to get this running?
NodeBB is really a modern discussion plattform i would like to use, but a not working search is a showstopper.

Thanks
Uwe
