Eacces permission refers to a permission error that occurs when a user or process attempts to access a file or directory without the appropriate permission level. This error message may be encountered in various operating systems and programming languages, indicating that the user or process does not have read, write, or execute permission for the specified file or directory.

honestly I preferred the dot...

Seems to be working after upgrade to 2.8.9 @phenomlab @crazycells 👍

@phenomlab I reinstalled and deleted it. I think it installed successfully this time.

Just one other update on this, in case it's useful for other users...

It seems to be this plug-in that creates an issue on lavender: [nodebb-plugin-category-join-group]

Yesterday's events:
-I had Persona theme - all fine
-I changed to Lavender - all fine
-I installed and then uninstalled above plug-in, and thought nothing of it.
-Problem arose with categories...

Today's events:
-Reverted back to Persona and all was fixed
-Once again reverted back to Lavender, and still everything was ok.
-Tried again to reinstall above plug-in - problem came back again

Again, I have flip-flopped between themes and the problem is sorted, but it definitely seems that the above plug-in doesnt agree with Lavender theme for some reason. Which is a shame, because I'd love to use this plug-in.

I hope this might be useful for others.

yes, its working!
thank you!

@julian said in Good VPS hosting recommendations wanted:

if you have a tech guy who recommended OVH, why don't you use that resource for your tech support needs

He is. Me 😄

@DownPW of you're not already serving static assets with nginx, I'd recommend doing that. You should be able to set a separate rate limit for that while still protecting NodeBB.

It may also be possible to whitelist cloudflare so it can bypass the rate limit.

Oh yeah, fast reaction!
Test that ASAP my friend 👌

Released nodebb 2.8.9 which updates node-cron to 2.3.0

@schajuli you can create something like navigation on Persona theme via custom widget, for example my solution, maybe you like it.

Navigation button + search input.
You can change color, link, text, icons and show it only on main page or every pages.

<center> <a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary fs-6 fw-semibold" href="#" role="button"> <i class="fa fa-fw fa-house" data-content=""></i> Home</a> <a class="btn btn-sm btn-secondary fs-6 fw-semibold" href="#" role="button"> <i class="fa fa-fw fa-list" data-content=""></i> Categories</a> <a class="btn btn-sm btn-success fs-6 fw-semibold" href="#" role="button"> <i class="fa fa-fw fa-inbox unread-count " data-content=""></i> Unread</a> <a class="btn btn-sm btn-danger fs-6 fw-semibold" href="#" role="button"> <i class="fa fa-fw fa-clock-o" data-content=""></i> Recent</a> <a class="btn btn-sm btn-warning fs-6 fw-semibold" href="#" role="button"> <i class="fa fa-fw fa-fire" data-content=""></i> Popular</a> <a class="btn btn-sm btn-info fs-6 fw-semibold" href="#" role="button"> <i class="fa fa-fw fa-tags" data-content=""></i> Tags</a> <a class="btn btn-sm btn-light fs-6 fw-semibold" href="#" role="button"> <i class="fa fa-fw fa-user" data-content=""></i> Users</a> <a class="btn btn-sm btn-dark fs-6 fw-semibold" href="#" role="button"> <i class="fa fa-fw fa-group" data-content=""></i> Groups</a> <div class="search-widget"> <form action="/search" method="GET"> <div class="col-8 mt-4"> <div class="input-group mb-3"> <input type="text" class="form-control" name="term" placeholder="Search"> <button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></button> </div> </div> </form> </div> </center>

I was able to fix this by adding a touchicon. I'm not sure what this implies, but if the touchicon setting is left empty, the favicon.ico will be covered in the title. By using grep to find the file 36.png in public/images/touch, I am able to repair this.

I like button menu 😉
Test that ASAP

Thank you for sharing the fun fact about the history of Docker, as well as NodeBB's approach to supporting it. It's understandable that not all software was initially built with Docker compatibility in mind, so it's great to see that NodeBB has taken steps to support it (in some capacity) in response to community interest.

@isbl said in TypeError: date.format is not a function:

Another workaround is to just change the string to something like "0 5 * * 0" so that it isn't close to the DST switchover.

Thanks,
my production and testing forums were both down today due to this bug and I used your fix.

thanks @qqqqqqq and @isbl

@julian ok, I have a self-hosted version working in principle, so all I need now is the modified plugin, which I'm happy to test 🙂

here is mine

This settings for widgets not work on /category and /recent page

Set the topic IDs you want to display this widget on (separated by commas) Set the category IDs you want to display this widget on (separated by commas)

@DownPW said in NodeBB v3.0.0-rc.1 — The release candidate:

./nodebb stop
git fetch && git checkout develop && git reset --hard origin/develop
./nodebb upgrade
./nodebb start

Thanks. My test forum is now on v3.0.0-rc.1.

@julian @baris Thanks for v3 🤓

@razibal I've changed how this works on the develop branch, instead of checking the online status it will check if the user has already read the chat, this should cause an email to be sent to all users who haven't seen the chat message.
