I guess preload hook is what I needed:

plugin.preload = function (params, callback) {

    params.app.get('/', function (req, res, next) {
        if (req.query.ad) {
            res.send('Hiii')
        } else {
            next()
        }
    })

    callback()
}

So I want to do this:

1. If someone opens www.myhomepage.com, then he will be redirected to the forum
2. If someone opens www.myhomepage.com?page=lol.html then he will be redirected to my custom lol.html page

I'm aware that I can create a custom route from my plugin, but this is not what I want.

I'm currently using the following hooks:

"hooks": [
    {
        "hook": "static:app.load",
        "method": "init"
    },
    {
        "hook": "action:post.save",
        "method": "postSaved"
    },
    {
        "hook": "filter:post.create",
        "method": "postCreated"
    },
    {
        "hook": "filter:topic.create",
        "method": "topicCreated"
    }
]

I tried using helpers.setupPageRoute on / but it simply doesn't work, probably because the route is being processed before the plugin routes are added.

Is it possible to achieve what I want?

@baris Indeed, I was logged with admin account. I tried with a regular user and it works correctly. The "Upload Image" button does not show and uploading with CTRL+V gives me the following error:

Thanks for clarifying and sorry for the misunderstanding.

I'm on NodeBB 1.9.1. This is my ACP:

And this is how a reply looks:

Despite disabling uploads everywhere, I can still CTRL+V a picture saved in the clipboard or manually click the "Upload Image" button.

Is there another setting that I'm missing that disables completely all uploads?

I suppose the setting that I'm referring to is located in loader.js:

var logrotate = require('logrotate-stream');
...
var outputLogFilePath = path.join(__dirname, 'logs/output.log');
var output = logrotate({ file: outputLogFilePath, size: '1m', keep: 3, compress: true });

It would be nice if we could customize these parameters.

These are the contents of my logs folder:

[ec2-user@ip-XX-XX-XX-XX logs]$ ls
output.log  output.log.0.gz  output.log.1.gz  webinstall.log

This gives me about 2h30-3h of server logs so any errors that occurred before this interval are lost. I'm running NodeBB 1.9.1 and I have a custom NodeBB plugin that runs some stuff. It is responsible for most of the logging as well as the crashes that I'm currently experiencing.

How can I make NodeBB to create more log files, i.e., output.log.2.gz, output.log.3.gz, etc?

Awesome! It worked for me and indeed, there's no delay. Also, to hide the views in the post bar, I used this one:

.topic-main-buttons .stats:nth-child(3) * {
  /* to maintain formatting */
  visibility: hidden;

  /* to hide completely instead */
  /*display: none;*/
}

Thanks a lot!

It may sound strange to hide this stat, but it is useful for my use case. I'm mainly looking to hide the following:

I searched these forums and couldn't find anything related. It seems to be only doable through a plugin. I attempted using the following script in "Custom Header", but it doesn't work properly because of asynchronous stat loading:

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('div.stats.hidden-xs').each(function(i){
        var divObj = $(this)
        divObj.find('small').each(function(j){
            if($(this).text() == 'Views'){
                divObj.hide()
            }
        })
    })
})
</script>

When you first load a page, the views are shown. If you refresh it, the views get hidden the way I want.

Thanks for your attention.
