@crazycells, Thanks. I need to look if all of the plugins I use are from GitHub. Definitely I’ll fork those.

@rod

You can create a plugin that waits on the hook "action:post.save" and fires a method that executes the custom action you define

{ "hook": "action:post.save", "method": "customAction" },

Details on creating a plugin are available at Creating Plugins

Well I am embarrassed, I figured out the problem! There is no problem with custom javascript or the custom header information. It turns out the nodebb-plugin-ns-twitch-monitor was the problem! The plugin does not seem to work after a certain version of NodeBB and where I had it placed in my widgets must have been causing the custom header code to not load or run properly.

I am still running v1.4.5 but am moving over to a new server, yes after all of these years. In doing so I have been incrementally stepping through upgrades, 1.4.5 -> 1.5.x -> 1.6.x -> 1.7.x... It was there at the 1.7.x that my custom Piwik (Matomo) code stopped working. I put NodeBB into "dev" mode and saw a number of errors related to the Twitch plugin. I removed the plugin and my analytics code now works fine.

It is bittersweet as I really like the Twitch plugin on my forum but the plugin stopped working quite some time ago. Twitch changed how their API works and the plugin was never updated to keep up.

Shouting out to a list of people for closure on this, in case you were all losing sleep on this since May of last year! @baris @julian @Nicolas

@PitaJ Thank you. How about this error that I am seeing in my browser console:

@PitaJ I finally got back to this... Well, that seems to have helped. The forum is up as 1.12.1.

I see at least one plugin in that is spewing errors on the console (in ./nodebb dev mode) so I will need to disable that one.

Big thing I see is that this does not seem to work any longer:

$(window).on('action:ajaxify.contentLoaded', function(ev, data) { firePiwik(data); });

Has action:ajaxify.contentLoaded this changed?

Thanks for all of the help thus far, and over the years!

The .travis.yml for each branch should be a good indicator of compatibility in general.

Thanks @julian, that solved that issue.

Additional details. The problem may be the way that I have my S3 content bucket locked down such that my dev forum cannot access the files (different subdomain).

@rod Ohh I see what it does...
mhm since is in nodebb try:

$.get('https://fsadwork.com/show.php?z=32&pl=99&j=1&code='+new Date().getTime(), function(data) { document.getElementById("YOURTAG").innerHTML = data.replace('document.write(','').replace(')','') }); <noscript> <iframe src="https://fsadwork.com/show.php?z=32&pl=99" width="920" height="120" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> </noscript>

But this probably will not work because they'll have cross-origin ajax control.

And of course you need to change "YOURTAG" with the id of where you want the ads to appear.

If it doesn't work.. I don't know then how could you change it 😛

@pichalite I understand now. I will open issues with the module developers. Thank you.

I have to say that programmatically being able to show and hide content in a widget is fabulous. I now have a Global > Global Header widget that displays an image and text only when it is the "home" page.

This is how I implemented one widget:

<widgetGH1></widgetGH1> <script type="text/javascript"> if(location.href === 'https://example.com/') { $('widgetGH1').html('<img src="//example.com/uploads/image.png"> Site Welcome Text'); } </script>

Thank you @baris . Your tip didn't get me precisely what I needed but it got me on the right path. This is what I was looking for: config.version

So I have an odd little issue. I am trying to use a plugin "shortcode" (or whatever the proper terminology is) in a Text widget but it is not working.

Specifically I am trying to add [carousel{"items":1,"lazyLoad":false}] to a text widget. I do have the Parse as a Post? (Take all post-related plugins into effect) selected yet when I view the page that has the widget on it the Carousel plugin does not seem to be kicking in and doing what it should.

Is there something I can add to make sure the "parse as a post" is doing what it should be doing?

Thank you.

@rod it's not displayed anywhere on the theme.

@rod looks like you can fix it temporarily by using this css:

@media (min-width: 992px) { .composer .title-container .title.form-control { padding: 3px 16px; height: auto; } }

I'll see what I can do about fixing theme-vanilla and composer-default for the future.

Followup: It seems to be working fine. Ad refreshes as I navigate around the forum. No forced page reload necessary.

A style element would go in Custom Header

However, as far as best practices, you should not use a style element and instead put the contents of the element into your Custom CSS

@PitaJ FTW:

Thanks for the tip about bootbox!

No need to use the asset manager anymore I think... you can just use /admin/manage/uploads

@julian Not sure if related, but 2FA isn't working again for whatever version community.nodebb is running right now, I just tried to disable 2FA and nothing happens (Trying to port over my codes to a new device)
