Explore Back-End Code for Scheduled Posts — Identify Impacted Files

[hyattc1]

Description

Before implementing the “Schedule Post” feature, we need to explore the NodeBB back-end to understand which parts of the codebase will be affected. This task focuses on identifying where post creation, storage, and timing logic currently live so we can integrate scheduling without breaking existing functionality.

Key steps:

• Trace how posts are currently created, stored, and published in the codebase

• Identify files and modules that handle post creation and timestamping

• Look for any existing scheduling or job-queue mechanisms in NodeBB (e.g., cron-like functionality)

Document potential touchpoints for adding scheduling logic (database changes, API endpoints, background workers, etc.)
