  • @Sampo2910 Welcome to Sudonix ! Can you give me an idea of how much progress you’ve made with either plugin above ? Typically, Discord, like several other OAUTH providers tend to fail on the callback.

    HI,

    Well i am using and got furthest with the second link from selkkie.

    Basically so far I have this. The icon does not say Discord just ‘Discover’ as you can see.

    When i click on it I then get.
    2022-03-31 16_12_29-Authorise access to your account.png

    If i generate a URL in the Discord Developer Portal on the app then go to that URL I made I get this.
    2022-03-31 16_13_56-Authorise access to your account.png

    So I don’t think I am a million miles away but obviously doing something wrong 🙂

    But clicking on authorize then of course does this 🙂

    @Sampo2910 Let me spin this up in my DEV environment and take a look.

    @Sampo2910 I seem to get the same error messages as you. Investigating.

    EDIT: Seems to be related to a token error from what I’m seeing in the logs.

    EDIT2: Ok, after some fiddling around with settings, I have it working 🙂 You can try it here if you want, as I’ve included it in PROD.

    The part that got me initially was that I’d accidentally used the PUBLIC KEY 😕

    Be sure you’re using the CLIENT SECRET in OAUTH2.

    Seems to work without issue for me now.

    As for the Discord icon, you can get this to work by changing the CSS as below

    .fa.fa-cc-discover {
        font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Brands' !important;
    }
    .fa-cc-discover:before {
        content: "\f392";
    }
    

    Bizarre looking “quote border” on this icon - not sure why, but will have a look

    Great work.

    I am sure i have/had done it the same but for me it is still not working. Same error. SO something i have not done right.

    I am complete novice also so where/which css do I change?

    What did you do with Bot tokens. I assume that is needed.

    Thx

    Hi again 🙂

    Really not sure what I am doing wrong here. Guessing it is something simple. Still says invalid OAuth2 redirect_url as above. Hoping you guys/gals can help me 🙂

    Thx again.

    @Sampo2910 Is there any way I can get access to both your NodeBB instance, and the Discord setup ?

    You don’t need to change any CSS - you just copy the provided into ACP->Appearance->Custom CSS

    @phenomlab

    Hi,

    Thanks regarding the CSS that is OK now. 🙂
    I have the same settings as you have posted in all above.

    I noticed that when i hover over the ‘alternative registration’ I can see this in bottom of window before I click the link. 2022-04-04 15_04_33-Films & TV.png
    That is not the link that is in my app.
    2022-04-04 15_06_58-Discord Developer Portal — My Applications.png

    This is wrong?

    Maybe you could take a look remotely via AnyDesk ?

    Note: My forum is not ‘public’ as in it can still of course be accessed publicly but I have not ‘advertised’ it as yet. So people do not know it’s there. I will do that when I am happy with it 🙂 Just for Gamers anyway and of course for my own hobby/learning curve. I think with Discord more people will be more likely to ‘quickly’ register.

    No, this is fact correct. The callback part is the data sent back from Discord itself to your site to complete the OAUTH handshake.

    @Sampo2910 said in Discord Login - OAuth2 - NodeBB:

    I registered on your site, so if you can make me an admin (temporarily) that would be good so I can have a look around.

    I’ll also need access to your Discord setup

    @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.
