Discourse can turn posts into wiki posts. Can nodeBB?

    @qwinter Yep - see
    https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-knowledge-base/

    Not tried it myself though - although I think I should given the nature of Sudonix 🙂

    EDIT: Installed, and looks like it needs some refactor for it to work (despite claiming to work, and is supported).

    EDIT2 - this plugin seems to not actually do that much in fairness - see
    https://community.nodebb.org/topic/13490/bounty-of-500-wiki-plugin/21?_=1651598609240

    The response from NodeBB themselves is to create a category, and allow users to edit posts in that. I’m not sure that this entirely how a Wiki is supposed to work though 😞

    @phenomlab Amazing, thank you for actually trying the plugin!
    One the nodebb forum solution: letting people edit pots on one category is fine, but then only the author can edit the post he made, that is, no collaboration possible right?
    EDIT: ah, no, I get it, the privs are such that anyone can edit any post. Well. that’s something. I wonder if the edit history (versions) keep who edited what. This is not a bad solution I think.

    @qwinter it’s workable I think, but not perfect - then again, unless you write a specific plugin to perform such a task, what is. As you pointed out, you have versioning of sorts with the historical access to reach post.

    @Panda said in Nodebb design: 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. From recollection, Google and Bing have the capability to read and process JS, although it’s not in the same manner as a physical person will consume content on a page. It will be seen as plain text, but will be indexed. However, it’s important to note that Yandex and Baidu will not render JS, although seeing as Google has a 90% share of the content available on the web in terms of indexing, this isn’t something you’ll likely lose sleep over. @Panda said in Nodebb design: The “write api” is preferred for server-to-server interactions. This is mostly based around overall security - you won’t typically want a client machine changing database elements or altering data. This is why you have “client-side” which could be DOM manipulation etc, and “server-side” which performs more complex operations as it can communicate directly with the database whereas the client cannot (and if it can, then you have a serious security flaw). Reading from the API is perfectly acceptable on the client-side, but not being able to write. A paradigm here would be something like SNMP. This protocol exists as a UDP (UDP is very efficient, as it is “fire and forget” and does not wait for a response like TCP does) based service which reads performance data from a remote source, thus enabling an application to parse that data for use in a monitoring application. In all cases, SNMP access should be “RO” (Read Only) and not RW (Read Write). It is completely feasible to assume complete control over a firewall for example by having RW access to SNMP and then exposing it to the entire internet with a weak passphrase. You wouldn’t do it (at least, I hope you wouldn’t) and the same ethic applies to server-side rendering and the execution of commands.

    @cagatay yes, that will be fine. Just watch for potential caching conflicts as you will have two sites writing to the one instance of iframely.
