Nodebb best plugins

General
  • This should be interesting… which NodeBB plugins do you think are the best?

    I’ve downloaded one which locks the thread after no activity after a certain amount of days, may come in handy, I’ll find out the name and post it here.

  • @jac I think that’s nodebb-plugin-archiver ?

    Great list @phenomlab!

  • @jac yes, all certified working

  • @phenomlab Great! any news on the RSS parser 😉

  • @jac not yet. I’ve written the collector and got it working with the NodeBB API but it’s not ready yet. To be clear, it’s not a plugin in the traditional sense, but a script.

    Great news, worked a treat last time 🙂 looking forward to having it available to use 😛 .

  • @jac Yeah, it’s a little more complex this time as the existing code needs to be rewritten to work with NodeBB

  • @phenomlab can’t wait 😁.

    Any advancement on the list anyone?

    It’s a shame NodeBB don’t update their lists of active / updated plugins as appose to searching the forum etc, that’s one thing that lets it down.

    Plus the lack of new plugins, although fortunately the RSS parser will (if released publicly on the forum) will add a new post and hopefully get people creating new things over time 😁.

  • @jac I’ve recently added nodebb-plugin-poll

    It’s a good feature isn’t it to have, I use it for match polls. It looks good too out of the box 😁.

  • @phenomlab thanks for the list 🙂

    additionally, thanks for the site 👍

  • @crazycells no problem at all, and thanks for joining ! Great to have you here.

    @Norrad Are you looking for anything in particular? I only ask because Sudonix uses a number of custom functions which I wrote, but all are available on GitHub and fully supported here.

    @Panda said in Nodebb design:

    One negative is not being so good for SEO as more Server side rendered forums, if web crawlers dont run the JS to read the forum.

    From recollection, Google and Bing have the capability to read and process JS, although it’s not in the same manner as a physical person will consume content on a page. It will be seen as plain text, but will be indexed. However, it’s important to note that Yandex and Baidu will not render JS, although seeing as Google has a 90% share of the content available on the web in terms of indexing, this isn’t something you’ll likely lose sleep over.

    @Panda said in Nodebb design:

    The “write api” is preferred for server-to-server interactions.

    This is mostly based around overall security - you won’t typically want a client machine changing database elements or altering data. This is why you have “client-side” which could be DOM manipulation etc, and “server-side” which performs more complex operations as it can communicate directly with the database whereas the client cannot (and if it can, then you have a serious security flaw). Reading from the API is perfectly acceptable on the client-side, but not being able to write.

    A paradigm here would be something like SNMP. This protocol exists as a UDP (UDP is very efficient, as it is “fire and forget” and does not wait for a response like TCP does) based service which reads performance data from a remote source, thus enabling an application to parse that data for use in a monitoring application. In all cases, SNMP access should be “RO” (Read Only) and not RW (Read Write). It is completely feasible to assume complete control over a firewall for example by having RW access to SNMP and then exposing it to the entire internet with a weak passphrase.

    You wouldn’t do it (at least, I hope you wouldn’t) and the same ethic applies to server-side rendering and the execution of commands.

    @dave1904 I’d start by adding a console.log function to hookData so you can see what is being returned

    return hookData; console.log(hookData):

    @qwinter it’s workable I think, but not perfect - then again, unless you write a specific plugin to perform such a task, what is. As you pointed out, you have versioning of sorts with the historical access to reach post.

    @pwsincd hi. Just following up on this thread (I know it’s old) but was curious to understand if it’s still an issue or not ?

    @Galaxian hi, and welcome to Sudonix 👍
    Can you check your config.json file and ensure that your forum URL doesn’t have a trailing backslash or forward slash in it ? This was the issue @Sampo2910 had.

    is there any way to see whose reputation is changed by this plugin?

    @jac Exactly. Hard point to argue.
