    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.

    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.

    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

    You should be an admin now.

    If you send me your discord tag i can invite you as a tester.

    Can you try now. I had to put test mode on through main Discord application. Sorry. Forgot about that. 😞

    @Sampo2910 Now you need to invite me - you probably need to enable 2FA for this also (for obvious security reasons)

    @Sampo2910 Having issues with this. Can you let me know if your server is running NGINX, and if it is, can you please post the nginx.conf (obviously remove sensitive information)

    @phenomlab After checking in various places (including the nginx.conf file), the reason as to why this fails is because of the trailing / in the url within config.json. Now that we’ve removed that and restarted NodeBB, Discord OAUTH works as intended.

    Hi guys. I’m trying to get this Discord plugin to work, but it throws a 502 Bad Gateway error on the /auth/discord/callback URL (but only when it contains the returning GET parameters from Discord).

    Any ideas?

    Hi guys. I’m trying to get my nodeBB setup with this Discord plugin, but the redirect URL gets a 503 Bad Gateway whenever it has the parameters that Discord redirects with it (going straight to /auth/discord/callback loads a vanilla error saying login failed or something to that effect).

    Any ideas on how to fix that Bad Gateway problem?

    @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.

    @Sampo2910 no problems. Happy to help. Just remember that this particular method isn’t the best in the sense that it may not get update notifications. The general recommendation here would be to move back to the official npm repo as soon as the GitHub version has been merged. For the meantime, it’ll work fine though.

    @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.

    @marusaky That’s really easily done. I think the docs need updating for the latest release. Did you land up on the 18.x train ?
