Technical Support

Thank you all for the responses and offering your time, I completely wiped the nodebb db in MongoDB and re-restored it and everything is functioning perfectly again. ☺

I never got around to doing anything with it.

We have a few gaming sites and I wanted to have one userbase between them all.

It's likely that this is a bug, not something you can easily fix. Open an issue on GitHub.

Hi, i fixed the problem by reinstalling nodebb. also cleaning all plugins and stuff, and no. I dont have nay custom plugin the only plugin i downloaded before this error was iframely recommended by the admins of this forum.

To resolve this, I changed the Proxy module I was using. It uses less code to implement and works with websockets. I think the NodeBB Node.js proxy documentation is out of date so I'll be submitting a PR with the new method I found.

Working code is as follows:

/** * Proxy forum */ const proxy = require('http-proxy-middleware'); // Forum Proxy app.use( '/forum', proxy({ target: 'http://www.myforum.co.uk/forum', changeOrigin: true, ws: true, }) );

Another potential GOTCHA here is that this Prixy setup needs to be declared ABOVE the 'body-parser' module (if it's being used). The wrong order will prevent post requests from being proxied.

I'm looking to use Azure CosmosDB mongoDB API with more than 10GB, so I need a shard key to get unlimited storage. Is there anything I have to do with NodeBB for the shard key?

Also, I couldn't find this anywhere and have no forum experience, but excluding media, how much storage does a moderate forum take up?

I just try to update the avatar, but it just request timeout error, and shows popup that connections is not ok.

I just tested installation of NodeBB on fresh OS and its working. There have to be something wrong with my OS.

Here is documentation on starting your own theme: https://docs.nodebb.org/development/themes/

If you want to make small style changes, it's best to do it in the custom CSS portion of the ACP, instead of editing the theme files directly.

Also if you have a package-lock.json, deleting that could be helpful as well.

@julian @gotwf Yes, I have reset it and have it rebuilt. But nothing, I think it's something of the template that is not. Where can I edit the theme?

You need to be in the actual folder you installed NodeBB in, you can't just run that command anywhere!

Is your forum public?

There are no error that show. Checked the log from the instance I ran for about 6 hours. It was the theme, though. I did the command given and it worked well. Thank you.

I've been waiting for days but i don't get any reply, i tried by googling my issue but same.

The problem is that members of my forum can't update their profile pictures or banner. They change it but nobody can't see the new picture until they clear caché. How to fix that?

0.0.14 should fix this issue.

Pretty much anything can be done by a plugin. The hardest part is probably getting the UI to control such permissions in an understandable way.

@julian yes

I have upgraded my nodebb to v1.12.2 and I am using apache2 as a proxy (https://docs.nodebb.org/configuring/proxies/apache/) but there is an error in the console saying that translations are missing. I just can see the placeholder strings in my forum (remember_me etc.).

The translation files are there, inside the public directory of my nodebb installation.

The problem is that the directory assets does not exist. I tried to set a rewrite condition in the apache2 config file for my forum, in order to rewrite assets for public, but no success. Any help would be very much appreciated.

UPDATE: ./nodebb log shows me the same Missing translation errors, so I guess it has nothing to do with Apache

Update 2: I can also view the source of the translation files from the link prefetch.

Update 3: it seems like it is only an issue when I am logged in as a user in my nodebb installation

Update 4: the issue with only with the current admin user, and for some reason the language setting for this user, after updating nodebb, was set to a language which was not installed on my system. I set it to en-US and all is good now.

Here is a screenshot:

What version of mongodb? Try downgrading to mongo 3.x
