How to run your own chainbb?

Hello.

I tried to run my own instance of chainbb, but I received something like this:
http://meshnet-users.tk/paste/p/ajzj/p.txt

I don't see on docker compose file any port that can work for ChainBB-fervi. Maybe I do something wrong, but there is no wiki :(

Fervi

Prevent a user from editing a post to bump to the top of a forum

https://chainbb.com/chainbb-support/@revo/possible-avenue-for-abusing-chainbb

There was a fix for this at one point, but the indexer needs to be altered to prevent this. Perhaps by setting a timestamp equal to the created data on first insert, never changing that again, and using that for sorting (since the APIs themselves might be bumping at this point).

Allow permanent disabling of moderation on a forum

Find a way to keep votes on posts after the votes are no longer active

They are clearing out on paid posts since they aren't "active".

Prevent posting when there's no body/message

https://beta.chainbb.com/chainbb/@allfabeta/bag-on-chainbb

Forum subscription custom_json op

Forum subscriptions need to be moved on chain much like how follows work. This will allow indexing of a user's forum subscriptions in the DB and no longer depend on local storage.

Add Open Graph meta tags for social sharing

Add the resteem button to posts

subscribing/following of threads

Alphabetize subscribed forums

The subscribed forums list, on the left, should be alphabetized.

Ignore users

It would be nice if we could ignore users in chainBB, so that their posts/comments are automatically removed/hidden.

Potentially add infinite scrolling/auto loading to the activity feed page

Support for image uploading somehow

Default to using first 5 tags on new post instead of 1

https://chainbb.com/chainbb-support/@andersrh/using-multiple-tags

There's no reason why it should use the first tag instead of all specified. The end user can choose to remove some if they want (for whatever reason).

Create own forum

I think this option should be ;)

When you are on the main page of ChainBB You have subforums like "community", "crypto", etc. I would like to make my own subforums such as "Linux", "Windows", etc. with their own tags - that is to make their own forum.

The best option would eventually appear on ChainBB.
For example, you go to chainbb.com/forum/pingwineknet (or something) and you have a list of subforums that you have set up, etc.

Downvote support

It would be nice if chainBB supported downvotes.

Change edit functionality to use diff-match-patch

Currently just resubmits the post, which is inefficient.

Alternate Editor to allow live side-by-side preview

https://beta.chainbb.com/chainbb-suggestions/@stoner19/suggestions-for-new-chainbb-features

Create a preferences section with options that save to localStorage

Potentially also save as custom_json ops for persistence.

When a post is edited, it rolls back the "last updated"

In a situation where a user edits an older post, it causes the "last updated" and "last replied" portions of the indexes back to when that post was created, even though newer posts may exist.

This creates weird sorting situations.

Indexes shouldn't be updated upon editing.

Monitor for comments that are deleted on the blockchain, then delete from the index.

Add a Post button to the homepage

https://beta.chainbb.com/chainbb-suggestions/@stoner19/suggestions-for-new-chainbb-features

The form should prompt users for which category to place it in while posting, since it won't have a forum to default into.

Add a

Incorrect times being reported on the topics pages

https://beta.chainbb.com/chainbb/@thatgermandude/bug-report-for-chainbb-last-reply-shows-false-time-if-browsing-by-clicking-on-tags

Before post submission, check if author/permlink combo exists, and if so append random bytes to post.

This is to prevent permlink collision and the error displayed here:

https://beta.chainbb.com/chainbb-bug/@protoken/4100000-pluginexception

Prevent tags with illegal characters from being submitted

https://steemit.com/chainbb-uncategorized/@yash0108/forts-and-monuments-in-jaipur

An example of an invalid tag (containing spaces).

Create a blacklist of accounts that can't bump posts

To start with, things like steemitboard will be added to it, since they shouldn't actually bump the post.

Moderation of posts within a thread

https://chainbb.com/chainbb-support/@rycharde/can-we-delete-unwanted-comments-as-forum-admins-in-chainbb

A method need to be implemented for moderation of threads, whether that be from the moderator, owner or OP of the thread.

Not sure on the implementation details yet. The thread linked above can act as the discussion.

Change image host URL

If you were using img.steemconnect.com for display avatars on your app please update to img.busy.org see related post https://steemit.com/steemdev/@fabien/avatar-and-cover-images-for-your-steem-apps

Parse error messages better for the end user and allow COPY of full error

Add a forum/category search

https://beta.chainbb.com/chainbb-suggestions/@stoner19/suggestions-for-new-chainbb-features

Allow for searching of forums/categories (potentially within the "All Forums" section)

Add title/description/seo to pages

Moderation Feature: moving posts

Allow mods/owners of forums to:

• Move a post out of a forum they have rights to (delete from forums index).
• Move a post into a forum they have rights to (add to forums index).
• Move a post between any two forums they have rights to (a combo add + delete op).

A message could potentially be posted whenever these operations took place by a specific bot account. These bot messages would be injected with a special display showing moderation actions within the thread at the appropriate place in the timeline.

New post indicators in menu

Add a notification when you receive a reply or a new item enters your feed.

Add a "Night Mode" with a darker theme.

Support for collapsing spam comments

Take a look, for example, at this post: https://chainbb.com/forum-announcement/@jesta/fnew-forums-new-forum-announcements

Most of the comments are clearly spam. It would be nice to support collapsing comments somehow. I suggest a user-defined setting:

• "Collapse comments that have more than X downvotes";

where X can be chosen per user, in chainBB's settings.

Localization support

Please add localization support as .json or .pot/.po files. ;-)

User generated forum indexes

Allow users to define forum indexes via custom blockchain operations.

Using standard create/update/delete operations, the chainBB engine will process these changes to maintain indexes based on the state of each custom op chain. More documentation is in the works.

Comments ocupy too much screen space: Request for a more compact layout

Hello,

As it is, I find that each post/comment occupies way too much horizontal space. I find that the site would look much better if the comments were more compacted.

The following part of each comment should be changed into a more compact version, without loss of information.

I suggest hiding the "via X" information and put the "Vote" and "Reply" in the horizontal line.

Posting reward beneficiaries not converting to integers before OP.

Error:
transaction.operations = comment,[object Object],comment_options,[object Object] cause: comment_options.extensions = 0,[object Object] cause: 0.beneficiaries = [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object] cause: beneficiaries.weight = 254.99999999999997 cause: Illegal value: 254.99999999999997 (not an integer)

Reproduction:
Split the rewards on a non integer.

Suggested fix:

Before transaction OP is fired round to the nearest whole number.

Cheers Jesta :)

Rework linking/canonical logic based on app/canonical tag

Canonical Links: Add canonical links to posts based on the app tag or json_metadata. For reference, the discussion in steemit/condenser#336 is the basis of these changes.

User Preference: Default link behavior. Let the user toggle between options that modify links to Steem blockchain content. Options including:

• Option A: Prevent any modification of links and use whatever the author created the links as.
• Option B: Change all links based to whatever platform it was created on (via the app tag). e.g steemit.com links added to a Busy.org post would be rewritten to Busy.org.
• Option C: Forcing all links to chainBB. Any other frontends domain in the URL will be overwritten allowing the user to always remain on chainBB.

The user preference will not modify the canonical URL generated by chainBB.
