Currently using Proton VPN, enjoying using it, works as it should and I find it best for my android device.

So, which VPN are you currently using right now?

Why you’re using it?:

I am curious as to what everyone uses for a text messaging app? I am currently using Google Messages app. I know a lot of people use Whats App and there is Facebook Messenger that you can send text messages through. I am wondering what a good texting app would be to use to have the security and not have the big tech companies fingers in all the messages that you send back and forth.

It’s not everyday I come across one site that seems to have everything I need, but this morning, I stumbled across this gem

https://it-tools.tech/

This site is the work of Corentin Thomasset, a fullstack web developer based in Lyon, France. I’d strongly recommend you at least stop by and check out the tools on offer. I personally use most of them on a daily basis, so perfect for me.

Hi Mark,

I’m trying to find the RSS feed of a website but having no joy.

Do you have any tips or tricks or particular routes you take when finding an RSS feed?

Thanks 😊.

I was wondering which database you are using for nodebb. Are you using MongoDB or Redis? My guess is that you are using MongoDB. And why did you choose the one you did?

I would also like to hear what others did as well.

One of the pieces of software I use is called TNG (The Next Generation of Genealogy Site Building). Here is the URL: https://tngsitebuilding.com/

I have this installed on my dev environment which runs Arch, Nginx and Mariahdb. I have two other tests sites that are Wordpress test sites. The wordpress sites that I have running, tend to run a little on the slower side, even with caching plugins and all of that. The TNG site on the other hand run blazingly fast, it is impressive. I used to have that site live so family members can look at the information. TNG is built with PHP and the developer has done an amazing job with it and they continue to not disappoint with improvements.

In the past on my live site, I used Wordpress alongside of it to write blog posts and such. Someone created a plugin so that usernames and data synced up and such. My crazy idea is to see how hard it would be to build a plugin for Nodebb to work with TNG. It would be nice so if a username was created on either one that you would be able to use the same username on the other. It would also be nice to be able to pull in information on a family member into Nodebb and such and be able to link information.

The idea would be that you could create a category for the different families using their surnames. Those can be created manually, but then when someone creates a new topic they could search and link the person they want to talk about. That link could pull in some of the information about that person as a little summary and then when you click on that person in the post it would bring you to the TNG site where you could see everything about them.

You would want it so it only is able to pull information from people that have died and any information from living people would not be available. This is my crazy idea for today, but I think the speed of Nodebb matched up with TNG would be pretty amazing.

I was wondering, for your blog on this site, do you have it so only you can add posts to that category? When I click on New Topic when in the Blog category it looked like I could add a one. I didn’t finish it and actually post a topic, but it made me curious.

I like the layout with the three cards at the top. I am thinking that is the cards plugin that you use that allows you to do that?

Hello,

I am wondering if I have using the correct categories when posting. It looks like a lot of the posts I started have a unresolved tag on them. Should I be picking a post to resolve them so there aren’t a bunch of unresolved posts?

Thanks!

I’ve recently started looking into NodeBB as an option for a new forum that I want to start and I have to say that Sudonix is the best implementation I have come across so far.

Would you mind sharing a list of all the plugins that you are using?

Hi;
for nodebb
My Mongodb installation is in the pictures below.
Do you think my setup is correct?

With Facebook, WhatsApp and other dodgy social networks down users have flocked to Sudonix for some general honest chat 😉.

Hi, hope you are doing great. 🙂

I’m trying to configure Ghost, and after the installation, Ghost is functional. However, after 10min, it enters a redirection loop. I’m unsure whether the issue lies with Cloudflare, Ghost, or Ghost’s private mode. I would appreciate any insights you can provide on this matter.

What is being used to embed links? We use the bundled link preview with NODEBB and some links will not embed with card info.

This link will just say denied on the card.

I currently run Kaspersky, my product runs out at the start of November, most of the reviews either say Bit defender or Norton as the best product.

I’ve tried Kaspersky, Norton & AVG previously (yes some pretty bad ones 😉) so I guess this time I’m definitely looking for the best.

Do you have a preference when it comes to antivirus software?

Hi

In Harmony Theme, how can I change the tagging functionality. right now its take user-slug / username. I should take fullname of the user. Actually in my project user’s fullname is automatically added while registering to forum.

When I first thought on the topic of how I would design a forum, I envisaged a mostly JS front-end app, using the back end to access the Database.
That has some advantages and disadvantages. One negative is not being so good for SEO as more Server side rendered forums, if web crawlers dont run the JS to read the forum.

How Nodebb builds its pages is different than I might have guessed. Its heavily reliant on Templating and CSS.

Anyway before getting to that, I have been looking at how Nodebb builds its pages.

On Nodebb forum one of the devs said
The “read api” is used by the NodeBB frontend when loading pages
The “write api” is preferred for server-to-server interactions.

I asked for clarification on what server-to-server interactions might be?
That part of my question was missed, can anyone add some explanation to help me understand?

Hi

I am trying to create plugin for after each reply increment in in the reputation point of topic Author.

I tried something in library.js file. (Two more files i have created package.json and plugin.js)

Could you please help me to correct out.

'use strict'; var Topics = require.main.require('./src/topics'); var User = require.main.require('./src/user'); var meta = require.main.require('./src/meta'); var reputationPoints = 1; // Number of reputation points to award per reply var plugin = {}; plugin.postReply = async function (payload) { var tid = payload.topic.tid; var topic = await Topics.getTopicFields(tid, ['uid']); await User.incrementUserReputationBy(topic.uid, reputationPoints); // Increase reputation points by the specified amount }; module.exports = plugin;

Forum upgraded to v3.2 and a sidebar widget (a canvas box drawing) now appears at the bottm, not the side.
Any idea why?

Hi,

I’ve posted this on nodebb before but was hoping to get more response here if anyone is interested. 🙂

I was searching for a solution to show images, especially custom emojis, in teasers. Right now custom emojis or images are shown like “xyz.png” or “:emoji1:”:

Screenshot 2023-06-08 at 12-39-45 Kategorien.png

Regular emojis from emoji packs are displayed, I guess because the browser interprets ASCII.

I’ve then created a plugin using an intended solution found here. It should remove the img-tag from the configureStripTags Hook.

Unfortunately there is no impact to the recent cards plugin or any other teasers. No regarding error or warning found in the nodebb log. This is part of the log when I run ./nodebb dev:

verbose: [plugins] Loaded plugin: nodebb-plugin-teaser-image verbose: [plugins/fireHook] filter:teasers.configureStripTags

Plugin is as basic as it can be:

index.js:

'use strict'; var plugin = {}; plugin.filterTeasersConfigureStripTags = async function (hookData) { // Check if the "img" tag is present in the tags array if (hookData.tags.includes('img')) { // Remove the "img" tag from the tags array hookData.tags = hookData.tags.filter(tag => tag !== 'img'); } return hookData; }; module.exports = plugin;

package.json:

{ "name": "nodebb-plugin-teaser-image", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "NodeBB Plugin to show images in teasers", "main": "index.js", "dependencies": {}, "nbbpm": { "compatibility": "^1.0.0 || ^2.0.0 || ^3.0.0" } }

plugin.json:

{ "id": "nodebb-plugin-teaser-image", "name": "Show images in Teasers", "description": "A NodeBB plugin to show images in teasers", "version": "1.0.0", "hooks": [ { "hook": "filter:teasers.configureStripTags", "method": "filterTeasersConfigureStripTags" } ] }

Anything I have overlooked or any more information I could add? From my understanding, this should already work. 🤔 Help is appreciated. I don’t have a github link yet, If anyone wants to try you can just create a folder in node_modules and add the above files.

On Harmony theme blockquotes are not collapsing as it seems. Or am I missing a setting? If there are nested, long quotes it can be a scrolling marathon on mobile devices.

Does someone have an idea how this could be implemented? I guess it would need some template and css adjustments.

For example, here there whole screen is filled by quotes:
