Is it possible to use NodeBB as an OAuth2 provider? I searched for the answer to this, but all I found were lots of topics on connecting to other providers.

@baris Thank you!

@jiangcaiyang Yes, I have a few things in mind. That looks cool. I wish I could read it.

I know this an open ended question. So let me ask some more specific.

How can I message the server side from the client side. I read some code calling socket.somthing, but that was related to configuration. If I just want to send "hi mom" to a piece of code on the server side, what hooks do I need to use? The documentation just was not clear about this.

I just need a point in the right direction.

@PitaJ Bug filed https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/4788

sunsetbrew created this issue in NodeBB/NodeBB

closed Changing themes erased all configured widgets. #4788

This is a simple plugin that provides a list of active users on GameVox.
https://github.com/sunsetbrew/nodebb-widget-gamevox-users

GameVox already has a very sexy embedded control you can add to the forum with an iframe, but it loads slow and takes up way too much space when all most people want to know is who's online.

Feedback is appreciated.

I want to make a membership application form and then send it off for review. I can make the form just using the the widget feature. But I need to process the input from that form and provide the user feedback, perhaps sending them to a new route.

How do I do that? I just need a pointer to right way to do it. I can probably hack something in, but I would like to approach it in a way that works with the nodebb design.

I successful wrote a widget plugin and helped debug another plugin. So I have some understanding of how things are working and I read the guide. But, there is a lot of information missing from the guide.

This is what happened..

1. Changed from theme Persona to Vanilla
   • All Widgets moved to the Draft area
2. Changed from theme Vanilla to Persona (they were still in drafts).
   • All Widgets erased

I don't know if it matters, but I am using the Custom Static Pages plugin. It seemed harsh to move the widgets to drafts, but was devastating to have all the widgets erased.

This is a simple plugin that provides a list of active users on Slack.

Feedback is appreciated.

@PitaJ That is awesome to hear! I'll be watching for it! Thank you!

I absolutely love this plugin. It was a real game changer for me. Thank you very much!
