Will the planned writeable API include a login / logout (optional Register account) function?

I need something like that to call via PHP or PHP rendered code (JS if client side), because oauth isn't a useable Option.

I like NodeBB. It's beautiful, clean and lightning fast

NodeJS based is fine for a communication tool like a forum or a chat, but as cms / cmf I prefer a php base.
So a bridge between NodeBB and CMS is needed.

So, how NodeBB could interact or integrated (cms layout with embedded NodeBB, shared login via cms or nodebb api) with a php application?

A plugin to add custom profile fields in admin panel would be fine.

I tested some forum software to find the "best one" and so I also tested esoTalk

It based on php instead of nodejs. EsoTalk forum is different to php forum software like smf or phpbb. It's fat free and really fast.

• conversation list with channels and filter option instead of category view (channel = category = tag)
• private conversations (share topic with users and groups only) could be an alternative to private messages and maybe also chat
• A blog post about 10 hidden features like multiple channel filter, private or group conversation, ...

NodeBB is already modern and full of new ideas, but public / private / group conversations and some other esoTalk approaches could also improve NodeBB any more?

I think when a hashtag is used in a post it should be added as topic tag. So users can add tags simple during write a new post...
