@burnout426 Let us know if you find anything! We're aware of this template and indeed it might be possible to tweak it so that it links straight to the post (would be my preferred behaviour too) but we're simply swamped with more important tasks around forums now. If you happen to figure out the changes needed this might speed things up indeed

Is there a chance to make Opera configuration links like...

opera://settings/?search=WebRTC

...automatically clickable by the forum software?

@emniss Not easily - there's no confg option for that but everything should be possible with some source code modifications.

I am worried about security implications though. Can't such links be malicious in a way that a less tech-savvy user gets tricked into changing something with just one click on such link?

Can you even do that? I thought all internal links had to be typed or pasted into the address bar - that even if a link was clickable the browser would ignore it if it is in an external page.

@amatczak the opera protocol used to be supported on the iterations before last I think. There weren't any problems.

I would think that there'd be a list in the code somewhere or in config for the supported protocol names like ftp, https, https, mms, rtps, mailto, magnet etc., but just guessing.

I would also imagine then that the markup generator (maybe in the markdown code/config even) would use that list and the linkifier for plain-text URLs would too. But, just assuming / hoping.

Don't think I've checked with new Opera.

Opening a new topic shouldn't be enabled on the subcategories page of "Opera for computers":

https://forums.opera.com/category/5/opera-for-computers

That's looking like a mess.

Their decision. They wanted general (platform-independent) Opera for desktop questions there.

@emniss It makes sense that non-plataform specific issues are discussed under 'Opera for Computers'.

In my opinion it would make much more sense to open a sixth subcategory in "Opera for computers" for non-platform specific issues than discussing them on the subcategories page itself.

Hi, Julian from NodeBB here. Glad you're on board

In a pinch you can edit the template in the ACP to fix the link. However it does sound like a bug so we'll address it as well.

Hi guys,

@julianlam @barisu

Thanks very much!

I looked at the diff too to see how you fixed it. Is there a list of supported template variables somewhere?

[barisu]

barisu @burnout426 last edited by

@burnout426 not everything is available everywhere, for this particular email template the available variables are here https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/topics/follow.js#L256-L265. Some common variables are passed to all email templates those are listed here https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/emailer.js#L89-L97

@amatczak Looking at the diff, it looks like a super-safe patch.

It is weird / different. If anything, I'd expect it to just be all the threads from the subcategories mixed together.

However, it's not a big deal for me and the current way it's set up is fine with me.

Applied manually already. Tell me if it works

@amatczak Looks like it works so far. I'll test more on a notification for a post that isn't the last post in the thread though and let you know.
