@retipster A group restricted feed is a common request and makes sense to most people however at this stage there is currently no way to do this unfortunately. Maybe one day a generous individual will donate their time / money to make this a reality and pass it on to others.

@julian This is definitely a common request and one that I've certainly been waiting for. Hopefully, one day someone can help develop a freely available solution for this.

@baris

Thanks. That's awesome that you put that in so quickly!

+1 for this

@jzbg

This feature is something I've always wanted too...

I finally got around to publishing nodebb-plugin-node-ldap on npm so it should be available in the plugins menu now in the ACP

nodebb-plugin-node-ldap

Node LDAP Login. Latest version: 1.0.1, last published: 5 years ago. Start using nodebb-plugin-node-ldap in your project by running `npm i nodebb-plugin-node-ldap`. There are no other projects in the npm registry using nodebb-plugin-node-ldap.

I'm interested in using this plugin. However, it's a bit unclear to me how it works. Once it's installed I get the following options in the plugins menu:

How do I use these settings to allow the top post in a specific category to be edited by everyone?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

@oplik0

Awesome. Legend. Thanks for that!

Hmm. I tried pasting your script (without the script tags) into:
ACP -> Appearance -> Custom HTML & CSS -> Custom Javascript

and I got the following result:

Not usable, but a clue...

@KebenSun I modified nodebb-plugin-office-ldap to work with our OpenLDAP server. The code is still a bit rough around the edges....but it works well so far and it's quite configurable. Might be worth a shot for you. Here's the github page:

GitHub - ink-blot/nodebb-plugin-node-ldap: Log in to NodeBB using credentials stored in an OpenLDAP server.

Log in to NodeBB using credentials stored in an OpenLDAP server. - ink-blot/nodebb-plugin-node-ldap

@baris

It saves the new value in the ACP just fine and refreshing the page still displays the new value in the ACP. However the old value is displayed in the error message i get when trying to make a (rejected) post.

Additional info: What I'm trying to post (in a code block) has 108710 characters

I try and change it in the ACP (Settings>Post>Maximum Post Length) but still get the warning.

NodeBB v1.12.0

@baris Thanks!

Settings ->User->Account Protection->Admin relogin duration (minutes)->0

Is it possible?

I'm testing an LDAP plugin and the automatic ACP logout after a few minutes is making life difficult.

The short answer is no.

Recently discussed here.

@alfazaz

Ah well. I guess we can assume that this isn't a problem for most. I'm going to stick with NodeBB for public facing posts (It is a forum after all).

For sharing sensitive data I'm going to use other more secure platforms (Nextcloud).

Good luck!

Ugh. I spoke too soon. If I refresh the page, the href tag disappears!

That's really weird.....

EDIT:

I upgraded to v1.12.0 and the problem disappeared (and none of my plugins broke either).

Let us never speak of this again...

I found a solution to this problem (which was driving me crazy) but still don't know what actually causes the problem.

I inspected the html for the posts where I couldn't click on the images to expand them:

<div class="content" component="post/content" itemprop="text">
	<p>
		<img src="/assets/uploads/files/1549051302974-blur_dn_spider_dsc02880.jpg" alt="blur_dn_spider_DSC02880.jpg" class="img-responsive img-markdown">
	</p>
</div>

If I edit the post (tools>edit) in NodeBB and save the post and re-inspect the html it looks like this:

<div class="content" component="post/content" itemprop="text" style="">
	<p>
		<a href="/assets/uploads/files/1549051302974-blur_dn_spider_dsc02880.jpg" target="_blank">
			<img src="/assets/uploads/files/1549051302974-blur_dn_spider_dsc02880.jpg" alt="blur_dn_spider_DSC02880.jpg" class="img-responsive img-markdown">
		</a>
	</p>
</div>

So now a href tag is being added and everything works as expected.

Strange! Oh well. At least I have a fix of sorts.
