Is the plugin composer-default activated?

Nope i deleted the corrupted install, the only thing i have is the content of my output.log which i posted earlier.

There was this error :

TypeError: Parameter 'url' must be a string, not undefined

this error was repeating itself 3 or 4 times then the server crashed.

@julian Great tips here, thanks.

Bump....?

Thanks for the personal reply, @a_5mith .

Restarting initially appeared to fix the issue, and actually has fixed that issue, but suddenly now its turning every single link into an attempted imbed. I didn't change anything, at all, except run a restart, its worth noting.

It was working, then suddenly over a restart it stopped working, and now its gotten over eagar and is trying to pick up every link as an embed.

As for nodebb version and plugin version, they are respectively:
NodeBB v0.7.1.

NodeBB Youtube Lite Plugin - Installed 0.4.1 | Latest 0.4.0

Oh , I didn't realize that. They looked like error messages to me. Upon double checking my version of NodeBB is actually v0.7.2 not 0.7.3

Yeah, that was it. Solved it myself. Only took like 6 hours. I hate Apache configuration so much ...

Here is the final solution for others in similar predicament:

.htaccess:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} ^some.example.com/index.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://some.example.com:4567/ [NC,P,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^some.example.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://some.example.com:4567/$1 [NC,P,L]

Just replace the bolded addresses with your own domain, add into your root level .htaccess file and turn RewriteEngine on.

Explanation of what happens here:

The first line matches your address and if it contains some.example.com/ or some.example.com/index.html it replaces it with (on the seconds line) with some.example.com:4567

(without these two lines you will get errors when you try to display the main page because Apache adds "index.html" by default to the request which gets then handled by Nodebb because of the two lines below these first two - but there is no index.html to handle because of the way Nodebb is built)

NC = ignore case
P = proxy, so that it is invisible to the user (they don't see the :4567)
L = last rule, we stop if match is found

Third line matches only your host without the trailing /somepage.html or /images/someimage.png or what ever. And the last line replaces that with some.example.com:4567/ and adds the rest of the address with $1

This is rather useful if you are already running other websites besides the Nodebb forums with Apache on the same server. Because if you use the instructions in the documentation for ProxyPass you will get all of your web traffic rerouted with that configuration (unless you are running Nodebb from a subfolder, I think?)

Well, I hope this is of some use.

And remember to edit your config.json:

"url": "http://some.example.com",
"port": "4567",

If you find errors in any of this please post here.

@baris Thanks for the tip. I did disable ajaxify for anchor tags as you said, restarted nodebb and it worked! It loads ads properly!!

Thank you so much, I was looking for this part since so long! 👍 😄

Will test more for whether it breaks other things or is all set and keep this thread updated.

Thanks @julian and @yariplus I will hold off from clicking that upgrade button for now. 🙂

You're more than welcome to submit a pull request so the plugin takes into account you deleting UID1. Until then, being ungrateful about someone giving up more than 96 hours of their time making a plugin others can benefit from seems a little shallow.

Your issues may have spanned from the plugin being old/out of date. This is an issue when making plugins during a forums infancy, as development goes on, changes need to be made. But again, pull requests can be made to combat this.

Any updates on the issue?

@prog At current, no. Our servers are based in a New York datacenter, but we do not use CDN for global delivery of assets like the client js and css.

@Kowlin some of their tutorials are confusing but some I've found to be excellent. I think it depends on the tutor perhaps?

I fixed it using https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/1163

and setting to todays date, so now it says "Schema is up-to-date" and all works perfectly.

I hope its ok now? xD

Maybe the online status in (2) should be on the profile photo at (1).

This. 👍

Thanks for looking into that for me @pichalite

Yeah the calculation doesn't work for subcategories, one reason is we don't have a recursive function to get all children and calculate the counts also we don't have a list of children category ids per category so without adding that this is difficult to achieve.

Please forgive my newbie question but can .htaccess files be used with NodeBB?

I usually enable them via Apache and then place one in my project's root directory but I have no idea where that is with reference to NodeBB.

I think I figured this out after trying to run it locally,

The Heroku install steps say to add the follow dependencies to you package.json:

But looking closer, nodebb-plugin-dbsearch is already in the package.json at a higher version. This conflict seemed to cause the crash.

I am guessing that recent versions of nodeBB have changed so this part of the doc is no longer applicable. Here is a pull request to adjust the docs, if I am correct in this assumption:

https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-english/pull/51

Yeah! I have this plugin on all my sites 😉

I just love it 😛
