  • @phenomlab thanks
    But something Im still not getting, Ive coded it to write to a file when that hash function is called, so I dont understand why it needs to be triggered by a hook event?
    Its like when it runs that function how can it not write the file, its not something that needs to be triggered by an action, it should just do it when that function runs?

    @eveh The hook will trigger, but not if you are modifying password.js directly as it will need to be recompiled. To execute the hook, you should use /admin/appearance/customise#custom-js

    Update, the basic file write did work, I found the txt file did have the ‘!o!’ string characters in.
    But the write of password never worked.
    I tried both (file, password…
    And then wondered if password is an object so tried unpacking it as a string, which didnt work)
    See below
    So its the way Im referencing password that might be problem?

    @phenomlab yes, sure it does as its doimg the first write to the File,
    Just not where I reference password variable

    @eveh what’s the output if you stop NodeBB and then run it from the console as ./nodebb dev ?

    @phenomlab could that make a difference if the first write is working?

    @eveh I don’t expect it to make a difference, no, but it should at least provide some debug logging so you can get an idea of why it fails.

    @phenomlab Narrowed down this issue, its something to do with accessing these variables
    If I write text out like ‘User’ or ‘password’ that goes to the file.
    But when I try these variables or objects (whatever they are) it never works.
    Ive tried writing out User, password, JSON.stringify(password)
    I dont know how to reference what is contained in User or password
    Below screenshot of the plain text that does work!

    I dont know much about these module exports, or what is passed into the parameter

    @eveh this might be a question for the NodeBB Devs themselves. In all honesty, I’m not entirely sure without having to research this myself.

    @cagatay as @downpw stated, there isn’t a native tool that will do this for you. You’d need to either develop your own or ask the nodebb team to assist which will be a paid exercise.

    @Panda You should be able to expose the CSS for these using F12 to get into console [image: 3591518c-e3a3-4ada-a43c-6b32a5e0359c-image.png] [image: a2b8ed46-4157-4ff2-85f0-576543380107-image.png] That should then expose the element once selected [image: 89d9c545-a47a-40d1-98f4-80cf3b958e8f-image.png] Here’s the below CSS you need based on the screenshot provided. .composer .formatting-bar .formatting-group li[data-format="picture-o"], .composer .formatting-bar .formatting-group li[data-format="spoiler"] { display: none; }

    @phenomlab I am on a Mac, so I used the “Option + Command + I”, and then performed the steps. It loaded my favicon! I checked on Firefox which I haven’t used before, and it showed my favicon also! That’s fantastic and thank you for the help!

    @phenomlab I find the problem Mark The error message indicated this path : http://localhost:4567/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/styles.css?v=6983dobg16u I change the path url on config.json [image: 47bacc80-f141-41e4-a261-3f8d650cc6f6-image.png] And all it’s good Weird, I didn’t have to change that path before 1.19.3 But this does not prevent the problem from a clean install with Emoji Plugin EDIT: After test, that resolv the problem installation for 1.18.x but not for 1.19.x (I have other error message when I run ./nodebb Setup For resume: NodeJS 16_x with 1.18.x is ok

    @phenomlab said in nodebb dropdown menu: @kurulumu-net You set it like the below example taken from this site [image: aae36790-3257-4bb2-ad5a-0d744309876a-image.png] Which presents this [image: 77f47260-2941-4afe-9614-8e17dcfc8c19-image.png] Very interesting… I actually thought this wasn’t possible, as I remember it being asked in the NodeBB forum. Is this something new that’s been implemented? I’ll 100% be doing that when I’m on the laptop over the weekend.
