@DownPW Yes, this is the general idea. I’m also in the process of putting together a welcome message to be displayed when a new user registers so they can explore all of the services on offer.
What features would you like to see added?

In keeping with community spirit, I’m very keen to hear what sort of content members here would like to see added, enhanced, or expanded upon. For example, this could be guides, coding tips, literally anything related to technology - with or without a plug.
Remember, this community is yours in the sense that if you’re looking for something specific, all you have to do is ask. If I can help with that, I’m more than happy to.
For example, someone I know (not here) is still running a legacy Windows 2008 server (yeah, I know), and it is extremely slow to respond to network requests. It’s not hardware related, and goes a little deeper than that. It’s nothing that a simple
netshcommand can’t fix either…This is one of many examples. 33 years of experience here - feel free to dive in.

Maybe a tutorial for installing the latest version of mongodb (v6?) for nodeBB
I believe this is unconventional as there were bugs compared to V5 and nothing was clear in the mongo documentationHaving a tutorial that works the first time would be useful for everyone I think.

Excellent idea. I too experienced this same issue, and some of the commands have also changed meaning the NodeBB documentation is no longer correct.
-
Yes exactly.
It took me a while to install it correctly without deposit key error etc…

Other idea : tutorial for change/customize maintenance mode page (503) for nodeBB

@DownPW another great idea. Thanks

This is quite a wild suggestion, but with recent developments…
The Meta Threads app is released now, it will be interesting to see how that fares compared to rival Twitter.
Threads says they plan to integrate to the Fediverse, so can interact with other platforms like Mastodon.
NodeBB did hint that Fediverse / activitypub may be considered for their v4 roadmap. (But I would not hold my breath on that)As a half-way house Ive been thinking what might be possible, as a widget with the nodebb APIs available right now.
Something like a showcase window, where interesting posts from other forums could be shown in a widget.So for Forums agreeing to the Nodebbiverse, authors could select to have topic summary broadcast, with link to the full forum thread.
Its an oportunity for Nodebb forums to publicise each other.@phenomlab has a fast development track record, so if this was thought to be a good idea I think with team effort, we could have it working in weeks, rather than being a distant pipe-dream
On practical note, I have never used Nodebb APIs. To take posts from a forum, I guess would need a key.
Is the API key same for all APIs, or could a key be generated to be shared which just allows access to view posts, but not more intrusive actions? -

0which means it can impersonate any user, which I’d advise against). That same user is then assigned permissions, so yes, it’s possible.Author of OGProxy, Swatch, Threaded, Card, and most of Sudonix's bugs…

@phenomlab
So for example does Sudonix expose its RSS feed?
How to access this, what is link? -

@DownPW I’ve just used this with no issues on a new server I’m building

Personnaly, I have used official documentation because mongodb has udpated her with fixed GPG armor import key method

@DownPW Good point, but I think it I actually prefer to use the maintainer package because you may encounter dependency issues from source.
-
I like all the unique UI elements you are using on sudonix, compared to NodeBB standard installation. For example the icons next to the username referring to groups, reputation and so on. If I didn’t missed a guide to that I would be happy to see that.

@dave1904 there isn’t one currently, but I can easily put something together
