NodeBB Hiccups

[Almost]

This thread is a repository for any hiccups as well as solutions encountered when dealing with nodebb. Any information about the subtleties in using nodebb that you encounter while administering nodebb should be posted here so we can all save ourselves a little time and a few headaches.

Please not the version(s) of nodebb affected.

v0.5.2

• NPM only for plugin installation

  Cloning repositories into node_modules no longer works. You have to npm install them. Unforunately, this means your installed modules are no longer git repos. I’ve managed to get it working by:

  1. npm install the plugin
  2. delete the folder from node_modules
  3. clone the repo into node_modules

  This seems to work in at least dev mode.

Does npm link still work or not? It should since it’s essentially npm install.

Didn’t even know that was a thing. I’ll fix that when I get a chance to actually play with npm link so I actual have some idea of what I’m talking about :P

Btw npm link still works fine.
