If you're new to Mongo (I am too) and thinking about the database in terms of a more traditional relational database, it can be pretty confusing.

I would recommend MongoChef over Robomongo as your client.

I'll give it a try. Any particular reason?

In the collection view, run a query like:

{ "username": { $not: { $exists: false } } }

I've been doing this kind of thing for a while now (yes, I had to get used to it xD), but I don't understand why you would do it that way. Why not simply
{ "username": { $exists: true} } }
?

That will give you all the objects whose username field is populated. As far as I understand it, there is no users table, just objects. An object can be anything and the only thing which determines what it is, is the fields / properties on that object. If the username is populated, it will be a user.

My database may be different to yours as I imported from a legacy forum but my user objects have an entry called _key which is set to a user ID. Hope that helps

Thanks

Every document in the database has a _key field that is indexed. You can get the document describing a user with simply

db.objects.find({_key:"user:1"});

Great, that wiki was exactly what I was looking for. I had managed to locate the posts by just playing with robomongo. This will make it easier... xD

Hi guys,

I'm trying to read a NodeBB database in MongoDB using pymongo.
I'm exploring it using Robomongo, but I am having trouble finding all the things I want.

What I am struggling with at the moment is the "User" entry. The entry that associates a uid with the username. What is the tag I should use to look for the username? Or even better, how can I find out? What code should I be looking at?

Thanks!

Unfortunately I don't think I can set the base language for a specific language... the fallback is always en_GB.

Sorry mate, colonialism and all that

No worries. But we'll never forget about Ferrol(!)

I guess this is something I could suggest to transifex itself.

Hi all!

I just started translating NodeBB to Galician.
Galician is a language very similar to Portuguese spoken in Galicia, a region of Spain, and other areas around it. This means that (almost) every Galician speaker understands Spanish too.

Would it be possible to set the base of Galician as Spanish and allow users to choose Galician before 100% finishing the translation? This would greatly help in translating, since I would be able to find the context more easily, and would not stop any Galician speaker from understanding, since we all know Spanish too.

This is my first post here and I'm not sure if I'm writing in the right place...
I hope so.

Thanks!
