Hello @julian @PitaJ

My local Nodebb Version : v1.16.2

I am trying to edit my own post and I want to update the content , title and tags

Here is my payload

curl --location --request PUT 'http://localhost:4567/api/v2/posts/17' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer 0257ecdd-ffd7-4a79-a2c4-2244aa490c2d' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Cookie: express.sid=s%3AbIhfigykYJ3MKanc6ShQ2gGxoZ6xccjE.s02leB%2BLFWGPnXG1IBQQdaTb8gD%2BDobwa05UEYja1Ws' \
--data-raw '{
    "pid": 17, 
    "content": "Edit my own post alsong with tags",
    "title": "Edit post",
    "tags": ["edit", "update", "tagCheck"]
}'

And I got response back

{
    "code": "ok",
    "payload": {}
}

But the tags are not updated, check the screenshot

These are my findings
STEP: 1 - Nodebb-WriteAPI
in write api plugin for the api /api/v2/posts/:pid
verify From line number 19 to 33
https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-write-api/blob/master/routes/v2/posts.js#L19

Here the tags are added into options object - #Line: 29

in write api the final object looks like this

 {
  uid: 18,
  pid: '17',
  content: 'Edit my own post alsong with tags',
  options: { tags: [ 'edit', 'update', 'tagCheck' ] },
  title: 'Edit post'
}

STEP:2 - NodeBB (POSTS section)
As par the above git link #lineNo: 31 we are calling parent funtion posts.edit so that will come to NodeBB src/posts/edit.js file.
Verify Here:
https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/posts/edit.js#L126

You are access the tags from data object data.tags but Actually tags present in data.options.tags

Referencs Data object in Nodebb

 {
  uid: 18,
  pid: '17',
  content: 'Edit my own post alsong with tags',
  options: { tags: [ 'edit', 'update', 'tagCheck' ] },
  title: 'Edit post'
}

And finally The updated data object looks like

{
  tid: 17,
  cid: 2,
  uid: 18,
  title: 'Edit post',
  oldTitle: 'Edit post',
  slug: '17/edit-post',
  isMainPost: true,
  renamed: false,
  tags: []
}

Because off the tags access from wrong place, causing issue for updating the tags while editing the post

my local practice

1. in my local I changed the tags accessing in Nodebb(/src/posts/edit.js#LineNo: 126) from data.tags = data.tags || []; to data.tags = data.options.tags || [];

After that the tags are updating for that post

@pitaj Is it possible to add nodebb uid as a string

I did some code change in Nodebb repo for adding string as a uid, it is storing but while accessing I am not getting the proper data.

can you suggest me the better solution?

I need to use my identifier(string) as a nodebb uid instead of auto increment uid(number) ?

@julian I am trying to use my own application user details (username and userID)

Example:

{
   username: 'venkat',
   userId : "2a5t8862-88k52-48569df5"
}

can I use above user details for nodebb.

As of now nodebb is creating incremental id (uid)
instead of that uid, can i use my own userId as nodebb
uid

Present Nodebb user details:

{
   username: "venkat",
   uid: 5
}

my requirement is

{
  username: 'venkat',
  uid: '2a5t8862-88k52-48569df5'
}

is there any way to implement the above requirement ?

@julian Now it is working fine

In nodebb privileges section we can add the group for a particular category

so, Is there any api to get those category list which is having a particular group.

Example:
I created a group called category_owner and under privileges section, I added this group for some categories and gave some privileges.

Now I want that category list which is having that group category_owner .

How can I get that list?
is there any api to get those list?

Thanks.

I am calling this api (topic details api)http://localhost:4567/api/topic/{topic_id}/{topic_slug}
from my proxy and it will always increases the viewcount.

Example:

app.get('/check', (req,res)=> {
  const options = {
    url: 'http://localhost:4567/api/topic/11/testCount',
    method: 'GET',
    json: true
  };
    request(options, (error, response, body) => {
      res.send(body)
    })
})

this is my CUrl

curl --location --request GET 'http://localhost:3002/check' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer 5e8db636-89ec-41ea-9cf9-8309297f8ac4'

How can I get the correct viewcount.?
can anyone help on this?
