Email validation NodeBB

  • Ok, so I know it was against your advice anyway, but I located the language files in public and did want to edit a couple of the messages in the short-term, but there is a README file there saying dont!

    # The files here are not meant to be edited directly
    Please see the → [Internalization README](../README.md)
    # Important note about localising NodeBB
    The files here are read-only and overwritten daily (if there are changes) by the helper bot [Misty](https://github.com/nodebb-misty).
    Our localisation efforts are handled via [our Transifex Project](https://explore.transifex.com/nodebb/nodebb/),
    and any pull requests made to this directory will be automatically closed because
    localisations can go out-of-sync when edited directly.
    If there are non-localised strings and you cannot find them in Transifex, please
    [open a new issue on our bug tracker]
    

    This leads me to another question. How can something externally be ‘updating files daily’ on my server without my permission (if Im understanding that correctly?)

    It’s not. Those files have come from github but there is no physical link with your server unless you have that doing automated git pull against the repository, which I doubt 🧐

  • I checked my email server, email was sent but not received. Maybe gmail issue

    @Panda is it the case with all accounts, or just Gmail ? I have a theory here, but need to get some more detail. Also, could you tell me if your email server is self hosted, and what product is it (for example, PostFix)

    @phenomlab I use Zoho mail service.

    Back to editing the text in the signup messages. I installed the plugin but its confusing.
    It shows two boxes:-

    1. TRANSLATION CUSTOMIZATIONS
      Language Namespace Key Original Replacement
      English (United Kingdom/Canada) (en-GB)

    2. TEMPLATE CUSTOMIZATIONS

    Should I be using 1) or 2) ?
    I tried clicking on everything but cant seem to get the Text that you get at signup to edit it

    @Panda should be 1 as you want to modify the text being used.

    Can you confirm if you have correct DNS records for spf, dmarc and dkim configured on your domain?

    @phenomlab I dont know what spf, dmarc and dkim are so I guess not!
    Do I need them?

    By the way I tried to upvote your response in regard to using option 1) - its worked now, but you already have 99 upvotes! Upvote count is at 99 for all posts?!

    @Panda yes, as without them, virtually none of your email will be delivered correctly. At best, the email may land up in spam at the recipient end, but at worst, the emails will simply be deleted by the recipient server.

    where do I even go to set those things?
    P.S. Please see my edit about all posts on this forum showing at +99 votes, is that just myside or a bug?

    @Panda I think that’s your side as someone else has just upvoted without issue. Can you try in an incognito session as let me know if the issue remains ?

    You’d need to set those records in your domain’s DNS.

    @Panda 🤭 that “99” you are seeing is actually a quote symbol. Click it and see what happens…

    Oh! Silly me lol
    Did you configure that as a custom change to the usual quote icon. How do you do that?
    I notice on NodeBB site its a solid blue quotes

    Yes, I changed it. NodeBB by default users the free font awesome library whereas I use the pro (paid) version SDK have access to a wider set of icons, and at different thicknesses etc. The change of colour is just simple CSS.

    @crazycells yes, I’ve just seen that and modified the post. It seems to only happen if you have a space between the “greater than” symbol and the actual text. Clearly a markdown thing.

    @crazycells yes, I’m aware of that. Need to fix EDIT- fixed. Caused by the same CSS that is used to absolutely position the “verified” group badge in the posts view. Amended this CSS so that is specifically targets the post stream as below li[component="post"] a[href*="/groups/verified"] { position: absolute !important; left: 8px; z-index: 2; margin-top: 1px; border-radius: 999px !important; line-height: 14px; display: block; height: 22px; margin-left: 0px !important; }

    @Panda as, yes, now I understand and that makes 100% sense. It means those who get down voted can still have an opinion and use common services. And yes, you’re right. Rather than down vote, just ignore if you don’t agree.

    @Panda yes, for some reason, that is the case. If you need an urgent response, it’s probably better to post here because of the time difference.

    @eeeee said in restarting nodebb on boot: can I just run nodebb under nodemon for auto restarts? It’s a better method. Nodemon just looks for file system changes and would effectively die if the server was rebooted meaning you’d have to start it again anyway. Systemd is the defacto standard which is how the operating system interacts in terms of services, scheduled tasks etc.

    @crazycells pleasure. Using percentages makes much more sense in this case. It’s the same argument with px vs pt vs em with fonts, margins, padding, etc., in the sense that em is generally preferred over px and pt https://stackoverflow.com/questions/609517/why-em-instead-of-px

    @cagatay JS will work fine - no changes there, and there are no plans to drop support for jQuery. More of an issue is the CSS - for which there are quite a few breaking changes. Keep an eye on sudonix.dev (my development site) where you can see progress in relation to how I am tackling the compatibility issues.

    @eveh It’s not a GIF, no. It’s actually a webp file so made much smaller, and uses keyframes to control the rotation on hover. You can easily make your own though The CSS for that is as below @keyframes rotate180 { from { transform: rotate(0deg); } to { transform: rotate(180deg); } } @keyframes rotate0 { from { transform: rotate(180deg); } to { transform: rotate(0deg); } } Your milage may vary on the CSS below, as it’s custom for Sudonix, but this is the class that is used to control the rotate .header .forum-logo, img.forum-logo.head { max-height: 50px; width: auto; height: 30px; margin-top: 9px; max-width: 150px; min-width: 32px; display: inline-block; animation-name: rotate180, rotate0; animation-duration: 1000ms; animation-delay: 0s, 1000ms; animation-iteration-count: 1; animation-timing-function: linear; transition: transform 1000ms ease-in-out; }
