Hello guys,

I run my site for 2.5 years, and the user's number was increasing gradually. However, I feel something still needs to be done.

For example, in my site, after the user registered, they would post a thread to ask some mathematical problem. Most of the time I will answer it. Then the user just leave. This end up with a kind of personal site: they ask questions, then I reply. This is my site's situation. But what I really want is a forum: they ask questions, then they reply. Two main reasons of such situation might be that

1. they dont know the answer.
2. they dont want to answer.

A member points/Reputation trade system might be a good solution, as least to handle the item 2. In this system, you can

• gain member points/Reputation by posting;
• gain member points/Reputation by online time;
• get paid member points/Reputation by answering other's thread;
• pay member points/Reputation to others who answer your questions, the more you paid, the more comprehensive answer you can get;
• get honor pedal once your points/Reputation reach to certain level;
• have other rights once your points/Reputation reach to certain level;
• ...

In face, it looks like the reputation system in the nodebb. To achieve this, one possible way is

• either to improve the reputation system comprehensively. Right now it only increases +1 by upvoting, decreases -1 by downvoting. In this plugin, it adds another way by posting.
• or to build another member points/Reputation system in the nodebb

I believe such member points/Reputation trade system would boost the user's impulse to interact more with other users. What do you think?

Thanks for effort of nodebb team!

Is it possible to fix the bug here? I dont have a github account..

I would never have imagined that I would've made the jump to entrepreneurship, the antithesis of a steady paycheque!

Congrats.

The best of life is living by interests and you make it. Previously I was an assistance prof in an university. Then I quit since I dont like it and I am trying to live by my interest.

@abhinov-singh It works at my site. What did you put in your CSS?

Thanks for the effort!

Where is it?

@Nicolas Thank you for your work!

Does it work for nodebb 1.7.4? This plugin looks impressive! and is it possible to add the award as follows (below the user's image)?

@aya Prefect! works!

Need to install java, solr, and connect with nodeBB, deactivate DBsearch~

It also looks good to add several lines to show how to install redis..

Step 4: Log into your new Droplet and install some necessary software to run NodeBB and harden your server

sudo apt install redis-server

Above DOES NOT work (see https://askubuntu.com/questions/1112053/ubuntu-18-04-update-stuck-at-setting-up-redis-server-54-0-9-1ubuntu0-1 ), the following works:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt -y install redis-server

Typically I use invitation register function. In the latest nodebb (1.13.2), the invitation register disappear in https://yourweb/users. Even in http://yourweb/admin/manage/users, I cannot use invitation register.

@baris Hi Baris, thanks for your testing. I just checked it. For the register users, 0 or other numbers works. But for admin, only 0 works. If I set it as 1 or something else, the green invite button in the xxx.com/users disappears.

It looks exactly as here: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/14603/invitation-register-bug-of-the-latest-nodebb

But I checked the solution as posted here: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/8f4b99a41c6496cbdaaf489f16ecbe261d6c4a79, the source code seems different.

fix: admins not seeing invite button

I am using redis.
I set it as 0 or 3, none works.

Is it possible to fix the bug here? I dont have a github account..

Please see these links:

https://community.nodebb.org/topic/15981/1-19-0-breaking-changes/12

https://community.nodebb.org/topic/16210/deprecations

It looks the bold DEPRECATIONS is not the same, how can I have the same font as written as in this link? https://community.nodebb.org/topic/15981/1-19-0-breaking-changes/12

@baris Yep, I do give the users groups invite privilege. It does not work.

Well, I forgot my github account... I am not a frequent github user

one year ago I met similar problem https://community.nodebb.org/topic/14603/invitation-register-bug-of-the-latest-nodebb

In v1.18.6, if I set it to "Invite Only", the green invite button in the xxx.com/users disappears. If I set it as "Admin invite only", everything is fine.

I tried to search solr, no matches? ..

I tried to build it again, yes, once I install nodebb-solr by the following command, and active it in the ACP, then I cannot open /admin page.

npm install nodebb-plugin-solr

as soon as I remove it by

npm uninstall nodebb-plugin-solr

I can open ACP page. I am using nodebb v1.18.6. I find this solr plugin was updated recently from 5,3,0 to 5.3.1, I think maybe there is a bug?

https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-solr

Alright, right now I use the following to fix it:

npm install [email protected]

Now it works.

Thank you guys. My connections number is quite stable around 200 this year. But the guest number these days suddenly incresed to roughly 400. Previously Guest number is no more than 200. If there is something wrong, I think it should be Guest's number.

BTW, I just updated to v1.18.6. Before I updated, I never saw so high Guest number. But I am not sure if it is because of tue upgrade. My website works well except this.

Alright, after I restart the nodebb real quick, Guest number decrease to 150. I dont know why.
