Adding fileWrite to nodebb code
-
@phenomlab thanks
But something Im still not getting, Ive coded it to write to a file when that hash function is called, so I dont understand why it needs to be triggered by a hook event?
Its like when it runs that function how can it not write the file, its not something that needs to be triggered by an action, it should just do it when that function runs?@eveh The hook will trigger, but not if you are modifying
password.jsdirectly as it will need to be recompiled. To execute the hook, you should use/admin/appearance/customise#custom-jsMark Cutting also advises organisations as a Fractional CIO, Fractional CISO and Executive Advisor, helping boards improve technology governance, cyber resilience and executive decision making.

Update, the basic file write did work, I found the txt file did have the ‘!o!’ string characters in.
But the write of password never worked.
I tried both (file, password…
And then wondered if password is an object so tried unpacking it as a string, which didnt work)
See below
So its the way Im referencing password that might be problem?

@eveh does the account you are running the under have permissions to the file storage ?

@phenomlab yes, sure it does as its doimg the first write to the File,
Just not where I reference password variable -

@eveh I don’t expect it to make a difference, no, but it should at least provide some debug logging so you can get an idea of why it fails.

@phenomlab i think issue may have been i didnt stop nodebb before i ran it again in dev

@eveh now you know why I said stop NodeBB first

@phenomlab Narrowed down this issue, its something to do with accessing these variables
If I write text out like ‘User’ or ‘password’ that goes to the file.
But when I try these variables or objects (whatever they are) it never works.
Ive tried writing out User, password, JSON.stringify(password)
I dont know how to reference what is contained in User or password
Below screenshot of the plain text that does work!Screenshot_20221010-212300_Termius~2.jpg
I dont know much about these module exports, or what is passed into the parameter

@eveh this might be a question for the NodeBB Devs themselves. In all honesty, I’m not entirely sure without having to research this myself.
