NodeBB: hCaptcha

Solved Configure

    Finally, I got a chance to work on this one but it didn’t go as planned, all because NodeBB wouldn’t save the page every time I click the Save button. I tried on both Safari and Chrome. Please see below. Do you know what the issue is?

    @mventures It won’t save because you first have to enable the “Stop Forum Spam” tab and subscribe for a (free) key

    I’ve enabled this, and provided you with my key temporarily, which you should change

    I then enabled hCaptcha using my details, and registered your site with my hCaptcha account

    This now works as intended

    You should of course register your own site and secret keys rather than use mine 🙂

    @phenomlab THANK YOU SO MUCH! Really much appreciated again.
    I shall definitely change everything and not use your values.

    I have the hCAPTCHA values already but not the stopforumspam one. I signed up on that site but I am yet to receive the password by email. Have written to the admin there and waiting for a response.

    @mventures Ok, no real hurry - just when you can.

    EDIT - I also updated your forum to RC2 as it was still at RC1.

    @phenomlab
    Thank you but what are RC1 and RC2?
    How do you find out what needs updating?

    And I am still waiting on the StopForumSpam password 😞

    @mventures the term RC refers to “Release Candidate” which is the version just before software is ready to release to market. Essentially, this signifies that software has successfully passed though both alpha and beta before reaching RC stage.

    For the record, there were over 99 beta releases of NodeBB before the devs were satisfied it was ready for release candidate 1 - let alone 2.

    The final release will tell you in the ACP when an upgrade is available.

    You might want to check your junk email. Typically, these emails are delivered in minutes and not days.

    @phenomlab Yes, but it never arrived. So, today I tried again and it worked. I have signed up for the free API key but I am yet to get the email with the details. However, they have the option to get the key from their website which I now have. I shall try using it and see if it works over your one.

    Should I tick one of these? I know it’s optional but if there is a benefit in someway, I can tick.

    @mventures none that I know of. I don’t recall selecting these either for mine.

    @cagatay as @downpw stated, there isn’t a native tool that will do this for you. You’d need to either develop your own or ask the nodebb team to assist which will be a paid exercise.

    @mventures You’d need to connect to the server and execute it directly - not on your local terminal. Review the guide below, which will show you how to gain access via SSH to your server https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/dedicated/ssh-introduction/ Once you have access, you’ll need to navigate to the actual folder where NodeBB is installed You’ll then need to change to the directory as shown below /home/unbuntu/nodebb [image: 1680448167972-fdffe673-bf63-4b6d-a728-5506fddc1aff-image.png] In most cases, initial access takes you to the root of the file system. You can always issue pwd in a Linux terminal which will show you the Present Working Directory. From there, you can issue the command cd /home/ubuntu/nodebb Once in the NodeBB directory, you’d use the below commands ./nodebb stop git fetch && git checkout develop && git reset --hard origin/develop ./nodebb upgrade ./nodebb start Line 1 stops the NodeBB instance Line 2 gets the latest files from GIT (repository) and then checks out the development branch. It then resets the version you are using to the development branch ready for v3 Line 3 Runs the upgrade once the new branch is set, and code pulled Line 4 Restarts the NodeBB instance after the upgrade has completed Note that when you restart NodeBB and log back in, things will look very different to what you had in v2.

    @mventures the swatch feature you refer to isn’t a NodeBB plugin, but a utility that I wrote that handles this. It is available for v2 (as you can see here) but I’ve stopped developing and releasing the code because it has been entirely rewritten to work for v3. If you’d like the code, this is possible, but you’ll need to upgrade to v3 first.

    @DownPW sure. Let me have a look at this in more detail. I know nginx plus has extensive support for this, but it’s not impossible to get somewhere near acceptable with the standard version. You might be better off handling this at the Cloudflare level given that it sits in between the requesting client and your server.

    @cagatay You could experiment with nodebb-plugin-ns-embed but I expect the x-origin tag on the remote site to prevent playback.
