@satishbh I have added the s3 bucket name, API key and Secret, but It crashes stating that the location is null. Is there any config file that we need to update?

@667 does this plugin work?

Using the privileges , can we restrict the posts done by the user are seen just for him and the moderators? More like a 1-0-1 communication between the author and moderators.

Is there are any nodebb plugin that can you used for pre-moderation of posts? If pre-moderation is enabled on a category, all the posts within that category will go thru a moderator for approval before being surfaced for viewing to rest of the users?

Thank you @PitaJ , request module worked.

Once i get the ID from oAuthPlugin , i need to call an external URL to get additional profile attributes. so was trying somthing simple like this but its complaining on including the Ajax package. Is there any Utilities in NodeBB i could use for calls like this? Is it better to use the request library in nodebb to achieve this?

function getProfile() {
var url = 'https://www.example.com/jsp/getJsonProfile.jsp?iruserid=' + username
$.getJSON( url, {})
.done(function( data ) {
var myJSON = JSON.stringify(data);
console.log ("json" + myJSON);
if ( (typeof(data.displayname) !== "undefined")) {
console.log ("user is logged :" + data.displayname);
} else {
console.log ("user is not logged");
}
})
.fail(function() {
console.log( "error retrieving idaas user status" );
});
};

Do i need to run the link commands?
