Hello! I figured this would be the best place to post this. I setup my NodeBB forum on Windows, but I'd like to move to Linux and still be able to keep my posts, categories, users, etc. Is there an easy way to import/export all my settings from Windows to Linux (and if so, would v 8.0 be okay to export to v 9.0 or will I need to re-do everything?).

Pretty simple list

• Sexy base design
• Easy to use Admin panel
• Open Source
• NodeJS
• Real-time updates

Seems to be doing it for every file I try. I'll export my data and re-install.

I'm uploading a .png, or well... trying to haha.

I was attemping to upload a file for my profile picture (in my profile page)
and I had a fatal error throw:

NOTE, this was after running git pull for the latest fix on uploading default profile pictures.

I'm running on Windows 7, I've tried running via command prompt as admin, as well as power shell.
I launch using node app.js, since ./nodebb start doesn't seem to run anything on localhost.

Here's the error.

Ooops! I'm sorry haha, this headache is giving me coding troubles. Thanks!

I'm making a call from register.js to socket.io using the following function

function validateInviteCode(code, use, callback) {
	callback = callback || function() {};
	var invite_code_notify = $('#invite_code_notify');
	
	if (!code.includes(':') || code.split(':')[1].length != 8) {
		showError(invite_code_notify, 'Invalid invite code');
		return callback();
	}
	
	socket.emit('plugins.invite.checkInviteCode', {
		code: code,
		use: use
	}, function(err, valid) {
		if (err) {
			console.log(err);
			app.alertError(err.message);
			return callback();
		}
		
		console.log(valid);
		if (valid) {
			showSuccess(invite_code_notify, successIcon);
		} else {
			showError(invite_code_notify, 'Invalid invite code');
		}
		
		callback();
	});
}

and it's returning err as an empty object { }. This is my server-side listen for it:

checkInviteCode: function (socket, data, fn) {
checkCode(data.code, data.use, function(valid) {
console.log(data, valid);
fn(!socket.uid, valid);
});
}

I'm setting up NodeBB, running Node V0.12.0, with Redis for Windows V 3.0.X.
After running npm install, and then node app --setup, I ran node app and I get the following
error:
[meta/dependencies] Could not read: heapdump

Any ideas?

Just saw this section on the git! Thank you so much for showing me an example ^_^

Wonderful explanation! You are always on point when it comes to explaining things! Thank you so much!
