Sorry, did not want to be rude.
Since I had some post asking for help without tagging anyone and did not get any answer, thought tagging appropriate groups helps for more people to see.

Hi,
I want to create some custom privileges in mange/privilege of ACP and use them to add some functionality to specific groups or users.
Is there any hooks I can use to achieve this?

also in nodebb-plugin-sso-oauth there is a comment that says nodebb requires email for creating a user, but I have been able to create one with an empty string for email.
does something goes wrong later if some users don't have an email?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a sso-oauth plugin for my site. the problem is my forum already has users and I don't want to create a new user for them when they register with this provider, but the OAuth provider does not return an email in user's profile, so I can't check if the request is for a new user or an existing one.
Now I'm trying to add an interstitial step to get the email from users when they register with my plugin. but I only managed to ask the users their email after creating a new user which is not ideal.
Is there a way to ask users additional information before creating a user?

@pitaj I copied exactly my data (after fixing the syntax error before "b") that I wrote here and your code. it did not work.

@pitaj
I want to have a list for every key in people object and populate that list with the names of people I have in array of every key, something like this:
for a:

• john
• dave

for b:

• sam
• eli
• nicole

I did not mention that but I also tried using ./name. it also didn't show any names, just an empty bullet.
the only way I could reference the object was with @value but when I tried to access a value of a specific key (like {@value.name}) it just wrote {[object Object].name} instead of actual value

@julian

(Unless there's some crazy behaviour in benchpress that allows for iterating through objects...)

there is an example in the documentation (https://github.com/benchpressjs/benchpressjs/blob/master/docs/iteration.md#example-2-1) which has a similar structure to my data but it is kind of vague on how should I Iterate and reference the values if every value of a key like jumpbugger is an array of objects.

However I would really not recommend naming both nested objects people. That is confusing

maybe how I structured the data is not standard but my problem was that the nested objects (like the second and third people key in your structure) has a dynamic key (like a and b) and not a static one (like people which you said) , so I couldn't iterate over it no matter what I did.
fortunately I can change the structure so tnx .

hi
I'm trying to write a template for a plugin with some data that looks like this:

const data = {
   people:{
       "a": [
          {name:'john',id:1},
          {name:'dave',id:2}
       ]
       "b": [
          {name:'sam',id:1},
          {name:'eli',id:2},
          {name:'nicole',id:3}
       ]
    }
}
res.render('path/template-name', data)

my code in template is something like this:

{{{ each people}}}
    <div>
        <ul>
            {{{each people}}}
            <li>
                {people.name}
            </li>
            {{{end}}}
        </ul>
    </div>
{{{ end }}}

when I render the template it does create two lists with 2 and 3 items but it doesn't show the names. I tried doing it with @value.name instead of people.name too but it just writes {[object Object].name}.
can anyone show me what I'm doing wrong?

@julian I know this is an old thread but did this feature ever moved to a plugin?
there seems to be some harmful behavior in chats of some of my forum's users, so I need to give admins, means to monitor the chats if someone is suspicious of doing that.

tnx, quess you are right. now I have to scan the whole source code for any use of database

Hi,
I'm trying to redesign mongodb database for better performance.
I didn't see a complete document at https://docs.nodebb.org/development/database-structure/ (for example there was no mention of documents for analytics).
if there is any document or guideline for mongodb queries and/or database design currently used in nodeBB it would speed up the process tremendously, if someone could share it.
