General Discussion

I'm currently working on a script to automate posting replies to topics in a NodeBB forum using the NodeBB API. I have successfully managed to log in and retrieve user data, but I'm encountering issues when trying to post a reply to a topic.

@general-discussion I'm messing around with nodebb because I wanted to see if it was worth the activitypub integration so I figured that I'd share my thoughts here.

Hi can we change the topic/post editor

Hey, remember Skype? I do. When I joined my first tech company (making silly little Facebook games back when that was a thing), they were coordinating over emails and in-person desk visits. First thing I did as an unpaid intern was move the dev team onto Skype.

Hi everyone,

Guys, can anyone help with setting up the server? I gave VPS access I haven't been able to set it up for 5 days now

Is there such a thing as a child theme repo? For example, say I want to use Harmony but I want to customize it but someone else already has a lot of what I want done so I could use that.

Can anyone recommend a well supported plugin that allows inserting ads between posts and/or perhaps other parts of the site. Something that can be controlled so it's not overwhelming. it would have to allow both Google ads (and others?) along with custom ads such as my own ads being placed here and there.

Was wondering if anyone had even thought of, let alone used NodeBB for Drupal comments? I kinda like the idea of using it instead of the default comment system. It allows some more finer discussion control I think, while keeping unneeded people from having accounts on the content pages.

I was doing some testing of meta data and found something odd. I have matomo code in the custom header but it's not showing up in the source after saving/rebuilding etc. What is really odd is that I have matomo code in another nodebb that we have and its working fine. Both are the exact same version using the non customized Harmony theme.

I discovered this week a little footgun if you happen to use this bit of syntactic sugar:

up to date, audited 1421 packages in 2m 242 packages are looking for funding run npm fund for details 10 vulnerabilities (5 moderate, 5 critical) To address all issues possible (including breaking changes), run: npm audit fix --force Some issues need review, and may require choosing a different dependency. Run npm audit for details.

When I move posts on nodebb and the url changes, is there a way to give visitors a 301 rather than a 404? In my opinion, this should be done automatically otherwise you get dinged by search engines but I don't see that.

@general-discussion Is there a manual for regular users of NodeBB?

Hello everyone! 😊

Hello everyone!

I've been a fan of forums for years (decades, even...) going all the way back to BBSes and newsgroups. However, in recent years, I've noticed that more and more discussions have been moving to Reddit and Discord. While I understand the appeal of subreddits covering nearly every conceivable topic, I struggle to see why Reddit, in particular, has become so dominant. It lacks many features that decent forums take for granted, yet it seems to be steadily wiping out independently hosted forums. Am I missing something obvious that explains its popularity?

I converted content using this

I doing web using nodebb . I want test how to edit post

I'm trying to find how I can enable Parse Markdown in API posts so I go to Extend, Plugins, Active and click on Settings for the markdown plugin.

I'm using the nodebb API to create posts and update them. The user is fully allowed to post as the API authenticated user. There are no limitations or auto removals set in the nodebb forums settings.

In another thread, @puppygirlhornypost2@transfem.social talks about challenges regarding proliferation of spam (or other unwanted content) on the fediverse:

I know that NodeBB is coded with Node.js. What CMS or framework you would recommend to use it as the main website for the best integration with NodeBB (easy registration, show last forum's posts on the website etc.)? Or better to make custom pages in pure nodebb and use custom pages as a website replacement? P.S. What do you think of websites coded with Next.js?

Is it possible to have a chat in the top somewhere at the forum's logo and make the chat available for guests? Then I can communicate with guests and tell them about my forum, how to register etc. Sometimes people want to ask something without registration. What do you think of this option?

I want to add some RSS news and some other stuff to a nodebb's sidebar (template harmony). Can someone tell me how to do it?

It might've taken us ten years, but we finally made it into TechCrunch :flushed: — thanks @sarahp@mastodon.social for the great writeup!

I have been a Forum (Discussion Group, BBS) member, owner, operator, developer, the list is probably just as long as many others here. Does anyone remember Wildcat, Telegard? Yeah, I am that old. Thought I would stop by, say Hi, playing around with features, functions, and liking this system.

Terminated my accounts at Meta's Instagram and Threads...

Hi, there. I find that there's not too many plugins about tags.

What would be involved in changing the domain name of the forums? I've had to do this many times in the past and most times, it's been an absolute nightmare.

I've been reading several times that NodeBB uses websockets and therefore only CF enterprise customers may use it. However my instance of NodeBB works quite fine with CF's free plan (no websocket support apparently). I also don't get any errors in my log. Why does NodeBB still work then?
