I am aware how sensitive you are about GDPR compliance… You are probably the one who is the most careful regarding GDPR within the NodeBB community. I was simply trying to understand the cause of this problem, receiving notifications from your forum at any time is perfectly fine with me

How did you drop that widget into the post there?
I hadnt seen this BSgenerator anywhere on sudonix site, do you use it somewhere already?
Yes, here

It’s not a “post” or “topic” in the common sense. It is actually a page in it’s own right and leverages nodebb-plugin-custom-pages. This in turn creates a new “route” which behaves like a page, meaning it is then exposed for widgets.

Also can you explain more what you mean by calling the code externally. In my API call example, how would I go about doing that?
By this, I mean create all the required code in an external JS file that is reachable by the NodeBB instance - so, in “public” for example - or in my case /public/js. The widget then “calls” that file and because it runs outside of the scope of NodeBB, you just need to return the values to the widget.
Hope this makes sense?
