When I create a new subcategory via the admin panel, the parent category doesn't load well any more : the loading stops at about 2/3 of the loading bar.

When I use the API for creating a new subcategory, I get the same problem. The insertion with my PHP program works, and the sub-categories are visible in the admin panel, but the parent category doesn't load completely anymore.

Do you have any idea concerning this problem ?

Thank you.

What's the difference between poll and poll2 ?

Hello Julian. Thank you for your very useful answer.
The plugin was an old version.
I just did uninstall then reinstall the last nodebb-api-write plugin (version 3.1.5) on our instance, but now I get the following error :
/admin/plugins/write-api Introuvable (not found)

Hello guys,
I'm getting an error when I try to update a Post in a Topic with the write-api plugin, using the following CURL command in a terminal :

curl -X PUT --insecure -v -H "Authorization: Bearer MASTER_TOKEN" --data "pid=47&content=NewContent&_uid=1" https://xxxxxxxx.nodebb.com/api/v1/topics/23

Just in case you ask :

• the topic id 23 does exist.
• the post id 47 does exist and is in the topic 23
  and I get the following :
  {"code":"not-found","message":"Invalid API call","params":{}}

To verify my curl command when I try something else like updating a Category, it works.

curl -X PUT --insecure -v -H "Authorization: Bearer MASTER_TOKEN" --data "name=TestCategorie&bgColor=blue&_uid=1" https://xxxxxxxx.nodebb.com/api/v1/categories/10

I think that there's a mistake somewhere, probably in the post id, but I'm sure that the id number is good..
Do you have any other idea ?
Thank you

Thank you.
I did disable the option in the API-write module, and now it's working in a shell terminal when I send the above CURL command.
But when I try to use CURL in HTTPS within my PHP program,
I get this message (401) : A valid login session was not found. Please log in and try again.
I don't understand why I get this message, because :

1. I'm sending the Master token in the Header by calling the PHP function curl_setopt with the option CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER
2. I try to send the credentials (login/password) by calling the PHP function curl_setopt with the option CURLOPT_USERPWD and login/password.

Now, when I'm just sending the following url from Chrome : https://xxxxxxx.nodebb.com/api/v1/users
I get the message
{"code":"upgrade-required","message":"HTTPS is required for requests to the write api, please re-send your request via HTTPS","params":{}}

I receive the same message with the precedent CURL command (given in the first post)

Yes, it's ok, and thank you for these information, and we would like SSL to be set up on the xxxxx.nodebb.com domain.

Yes !! Thank you very much (I'm thinking that it would be useful that the API-Write plugin sends a message "SSL is not activated" in that case, because we spend some time trying to understand that problem).

When I use the same command using unsecured HTTP, it's working, and the new user is added to NodeBB. But in HTTPS it doesn't. So, could it be a problem with your SSL certificate ?

Hello @julian Thank you for your answer. Could you be more precise when you say that "it doesn't look like I specified a proper URL in the cURL command" ?
Are you talking about the URL "https://myinstance.nodebb.com/api/v1/users" ? What's the problem concerning this URL, according to you ?
I must precise that in my URL, myinstance is the name of my official instance under nodebb. So, there isn't any problem on that point.

@Schamper The poll plugin is now working on my 0.8.2 NodeBB. Thank you very much for this awesome work !!

Hi everybody,
After installing the Write-API Plugin under NodeBB, and after that I generated a MASTER_TOKEN using the interface,
I'm trying to add a new user in my distant NodeBB installation using CURL in a command console with the following command :

curl -v --insecure -H "Authorization: Bearer MASTER_TOKEN_HERE"
--data "_uid=1&username=SomeUsername&password=SomeWord&[email protected]"
https://myinstance.nodebb.com/api/v1/users

But I get the answer
"Cannot POST /api/v1/users"

Could someone help me to fix this ?
Thank you very much !!

Hi, I have a trouble with embedding an external script into a custom page, like you had.
What solution did you find to make it working finally ?

Hi, I'm working on my NodeBB forum configuration (under NodeBB 0.8.2).
I installed the plugin nodebb-plugin-custom-pages
then created a new template page (named sondage.tpl)
and added in my Content section a js script (between script tags) :

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://static.polldaddy.com/p/9134086.js"></script>

My problem is when the page is loading, I get this error in the console :
Failed to execute 'write' on 'Document': It isn't possible to write into a document from an asynchronously-loaded external script unless it is explicitly opened.

So, the script can't succeed in writing into the document. How can I fix this ?
Thank you for your help !!

@exodo @yariplus @rbeer @Schamper Thank you for your help. I'm full of hope now !!

For example, when I'm trying the following, it doesn't work :
[poll title="Sondage"]

• Poll option
• Another option
  [/poll]

@yariplus It would be great, thank you !!

@Schamper This plugin would be very usefull in fact. I'm pretty sure that some people are moving from NodeBB to Discourse because of this problem. About me I spent some time installing nodeBB, which is fabulous, but the BIG problem is that I didn't find any working poll system on NodeBB until now, and I'm thinking about migrating to Discourse.. Sad, don't you think ?

Hi everybody.
I'm looking for a ** poll system** on my NodeBB 0.8. installation
I tried these two plugins, but I don't succeed in making them work..

• https://github.com/Schamper/nodebb-plugin-poll
• https://github.com/exo-do/nodebb-plugin-poll

I tried to embedd a poll prepared with polldaddy, but when I include the script given by polldaddy website, it's just giving me some link to the polldaddy's website with the poll.
But I really need it embedded and not on another page.

Could anyone help me please ?
