@pitaj damn.. that fixed my problem. I didn't know that one has to write the 1:1 url you call in your browser as the config.json url setting..

So instead of:

{
"url": "http://localhost:4800",
"secret": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"database": "mongo",
"port": 4800,
"mongo": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "27017",
"username": "nodebb",
"password": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"database": "nodebb"
}
}

I wrote:

{
"url": "http://MYWEBSITE.COM",
"secret": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"database": "mongo",
"port": 4800,
"mongo": {
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": "27017",
"username": "nodebb",
"password": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"database": "nodebb"
}
}

if you use https, of course the url has to be https://...
1:1 as if you would call it in your browser. thank you very much!

Have you tried disabling plugins? I think ns-likes hides the karma buttons.

Hey. Yes, I've uninstalled the ns-likes plugin, but there are no chevron-up or chevron-down to see...

I've never had them, not even before I installed the ns-likes plugin.

Hi! I'm searching for a Wiki Plugin/Widget for Nodebb.

I'd like to have a Widget/Plugin with which I can see a list of "tools" and if I click one tool, there should be information fields, images and richtext for this specific item.

Just like:

Tool XYZ

Is there already something like that?

Or do you have an idea how to do it?

It's part of NodeBB core. Do you not see it on your forum? What theme are you using?

Hi. No, I cannot see any chevron up/down. I upgraded from version 1.6.0 to 1.6.1. I'm using Persona theme. Already did a ./nodebb stop ./nodebb build and ./nodebb start.
Is there a specific setting that has to be activated?

@julian said in NodeBB v1.6.1 - Likeplugin does not work, Usergroups Badge not shown instantly:

@Verso Did you check out the readme for ns-likes?

It says you need to add a <!-- IMPORT partials/topic/likes_post.tpl --> in one of the templates. It doesn't work out-of-the-box.

Secondly, the badge is autoset if the user has never set a badge before. Even saving their user settings counts as setting a badge (that is, it's set to nothing).

Thank you!

But how can I activate the normal "chevron" up/downvote like in the forum here? Is this basically part of NodeBB ? If yes, where to activate it?

Hi!
I've got two problems with NodeBB v1.6.1:

• The nodebb-plugin-ns-likes plugin v2.0.0 does not work. I don't get any Arrow Up/Down. Tried to restart several times, restarted it manually - nothing happens. Which information do you need to debug this?

• I created a Group (let's call it XYZ) and added a member to it. The group badge isn't displayed instantly for this member.
  Another member of this group got this badge instantly. Why does this happen?

1. Hey. I am wondering how to get Apache and Nodebb automatically restarted. If my VPS has had a maintenance, nothing will be running after that.

Is there a recommended set up to restart all components ? MongoDB, Apache, and Nodebb?

2. Why do I have two search icons?

3. Which components(skins, themes, plugins) do I need to get my nodebb like https://community.nodebb.org ?

4. I've seen a textfield in nodebb to put in terms of use for the forum. Nevertheless in the registration process the terms of use don't appear and there is no checkbox that the user has to accept to submit his/her registration.
I expect that the terms of use are shown in the registration and there is a checkbox that has to be checked, otherwise the registration shouldn't be possible.
Take into consideration: This does not work even if I deactivate the posting queue. As I've seen, some people say it is caused by the use of the posting queue.

5. I've choosen safely unguessable password for users. But there is a problem: The password hint also gives info about the required minimum password length. It doesn't say that special characters, lower and uppercase and so on has to be used to get a valid "safely unguessable" password. Very confusing for new users.

@pitaj damn.. that fixed my problem. I didn't know that one has to write the 1:1 url you call in your browser as the config.json url setting..

"port": "27017",
"username": "nodebb",
"password": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"database": "nodebb"
}
}

I wrote:

{
"url": "http://MYWEBSITE.COM",
"secret": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"database": "mongo",
"port": 4800,

"host": "127.0.0.1",

}

@julian @PitaJ

I tried it again and found out that ./nodebb dev runs perfectly and without the " Looks like your connection to NodeBB was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect." error:

./nodebb stop

lsof -i tcp:THEPORTIUSE

kill -9 PROCESSID

lsof -i tcp:THEPORTIUSE

./nodebb dev

But it does not work if I want to run it normally by using /.nodebb start

How to get it fixed ?

Hi @julian I tried that - still get the error. I restarted the Virtual Server several times, killed all processes - no success.

Is it possible that Apache causes this error?
I use proxypass to redirect the requests to the NodeBB Application

@PitaJ that did not work but I found out why I've had the error.
The error EADDRINUSE 0.0.0.0:4800 occured because I had a nodebb instance running and used ./nodebb dev.

If I only run ./nodebb dev then it works perfectly, but with ./nodebb start I always get the
the problem:
Looks like your connection to NodeBB was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.

Any other idea?
