Email validation NodeBB

  • I checked my email server, email was sent but not received. Maybe gmail issue

  • Ok, so I know it was against your advice anyway, but I located the language files in public and did want to edit a couple of the messages in the short-term, but there is a README file there saying dont!

    # The files here are not meant to be edited directly
    Please see the → [Internalization README](../README.md)
    # Important note about localising NodeBB
    The files here are read-only and overwritten daily (if there are changes) by the helper bot [Misty](https://github.com/nodebb-misty).
    Our localisation efforts are handled via [our Transifex Project](https://explore.transifex.com/nodebb/nodebb/),
    and any pull requests made to this directory will be automatically closed because
    localisations can go out-of-sync when edited directly.
    If there are non-localised strings and you cannot find them in Transifex, please
    [open a new issue on our bug tracker]
    

    This leads me to another question. How can something externally be ‘updating files daily’ on my server without my permission (if Im understanding that correctly?)

    It’s not. Those files have come from github but there is no physical link with your server unless you have that doing automated git pull against the repository, which I doubt 🧐

    @Panda is it the case with all accounts, or just Gmail ? I have a theory here, but need to get some more detail. Also, could you tell me if your email server is self hosted, and what product is it (for example, PostFix)

    @phenomlab I use Zoho mail service.

    Back to editing the text in the signup messages. I installed the plugin but its confusing.
    It shows two boxes:-

    1. TRANSLATION CUSTOMIZATIONS
      Language Namespace Key Original Replacement
      English (United Kingdom/Canada) (en-GB)

    2. TEMPLATE CUSTOMIZATIONS

    Should I be using 1) or 2) ?
    I tried clicking on everything but cant seem to get the Text that you get at signup to edit it

    @Panda should be 1 as you want to modify the text being used.

    Can you confirm if you have correct DNS records for spf, dmarc and dkim configured on your domain?

    @phenomlab I dont know what spf, dmarc and dkim are so I guess not!
    Do I need them?

    By the way I tried to upvote your response in regard to using option 1) - its worked now, but you already have 99 upvotes! Upvote count is at 99 for all posts?!

    @Panda yes, as without them, virtually none of your email will be delivered correctly. At best, the email may land up in spam at the recipient end, but at worst, the emails will simply be deleted by the recipient server.

  • where do I even go to set those things?
    P.S. Please see my edit about all posts on this forum showing at +99 votes, is that just myside or a bug?

    @Panda I think that’s your side as someone else has just upvoted without issue. Can you try in an incognito session as let me know if the issue remains ?

    You’d need to set those records in your domain’s DNS.

  • Yes all posts in this thread showing ^99 even in incognito on laptop. But it is fine (showing 0) on my mobile

    @Panda very strange. I’ll need to check that 😱

    @Panda I can’t replicate this issue at all on 3 PC’s and 6 different browsers… 😕

  • Screenshot below, happening on my windows laptop, windows PC, but not mobile

  • @Panda 🤭 that “99” you are seeing is actually a quote symbol. Click it and see what happens…

    Oh! Silly me lol
    Did you configure that as a custom change to the usual quote icon. How do you do that?
    I notice on NodeBB site its a solid blue quotes

    Yes, I changed it. NodeBB by default users the free font awesome library whereas I use the pro (paid) version SDK have access to a wider set of icons, and at different thicknesses etc. The change of colour is just simple CSS.

    @Panda as, yes, now I understand and that makes 100% sense. It means those who get down voted can still have an opinion and use common services. And yes, you’re right. Rather than down vote, just ignore if you don’t agree.

    @Panda yes, for some reason, that is the case. If you need an urgent response, it’s probably better to post here because of the time difference.

    @Teemberland great spot ! You should create a PR for that so they can include it in the official repository. Just be aware that any subsequent releases will overwrite your fix without the PR.

    @eveh Welcome board The code you are referring to is custom written as no such functionality exists under NodeBB. However, adding the functionality is relatively trivial. Below are the required steps Navigate to /admin/appearance/customise#custom-header Add the below code to your header, and save once completed <ol id="mainbanner" class="breadcrumb"><li id="addtext">Your Title Goes Here</li></ol> Navigate to /admin/appearance/customise#custom-js and add the below code, then save $(document).ready(function() { $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) { // Initialise mainbanner ID, but hide it from view $('#mainbanner').hide(); var pathname = window.location.pathname; if (pathname === "/") { $("#addtext").text("Your Title"); $('#mainbanner').show(); } else {} // If we want to add a title to a sub page, uncomment the below and adjust accordingly //if (pathname === "/yourpath") { //$("#addtext").text("Your Title"); //$('#mainbanner').show(); //} }); }); Navigate to /admin/appearance/customise#custom-css and add the below CSS block .breadcrumb { right: 0; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; background: #0086c4; color: #ffffff; width: 100vw; position: relative; margin-left: -50vw; left: 50%; top: 50px; position: fixed; z-index: 1020; } Note, that you will need to adjust your CSS code to suit your own site / requirements.
