v4.0.0 Upgrade Support

julian

@[email protected] can you please update the category handles on discussions.thenexus.today? There was a bug that caused some categories to not respond to webfinger request appropriately, so they could not be found on fedi.

You can just change them from one handle to another, and then back again.

That should fix the issue with the testing category not being able to be found.

@julian done, thanks for looking at this!

while I've got you on the line ... i'm still experimenting with Bridgy Fed and last night i had somewhat unexpected results (although maybe it's just that my expectation is wrong). CCing @snarfed.org and @quillmatiq as well ...

There were three accounts involved:

* [email protected] and jdp23.thenexus.today (on Bluesky) are following each other

* thenexusofprivacy.net on Bluesky and [email protected] *aren't* following each other (but thenexusofprivacy.net *is* following ap.brid.gy, and bridges correctly in other situations)

[email protected] posted https://discussions.thenexus.today/topic/28/testing-federation-from-nodebb-to-bluesky-again-... and it federated correctly. Yay! Here's the bridged equivalent: https://bsky.app/profile/jon.discussions.thenexus.today.ap.brid.gy/post/3lgwoj4vkgbd2

[email protected] replied and it federated back. also yay!

but when thenexusofprivacy.net replied, it *didn't* federate back. not so yay.

Any idea what's going on?

I did upgrade to v4.0.1 yesterday and now have an issue displaying some forum posts on apple devices (under safari or chrome).

As example you can take a look at https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19306/new-module-installer

Problem is the preview of the 4 images from the topic at the top right. On an iphone they are overlapping so you can not really operate.

Is there an option to disable this preview?

Thanks!

You can hide it with custom css in the ACP, .topic-header [component="topic/thumb/list"] { display: none }

This is only happening on apple devices?

nothing changes v4.0.1
I think this ActivityPub implementation is only designed for NodeBB's own page. It’s not very useful for sites that use NodeBB.

@baris looks to be Persona, could be a bug with the theme.

android and normal browsers seems o.k. so far

@karsten13 https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/commit/a45cbffc869018046a7c95a81662eba7a747613f

try persona 14.0.6, let me know if it works.

Out of curiosity: what plugin/setting does one need to use in order to get a header like the NodeBB.org forums? With the links up top.

<baris>

Those are standard html widgets created at /admin/extend/widgets. They are placed in the brand widget area.

@baris not really, thumbnails moved to the left but there are still the gray areas around them which overlap nearly the whole site

<baris>

@karsten13 does it happen when you load this topic https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18426/nodebb-3.11.0?

karsten13

no, this looks o.k.

<baris>

@karsten13 can you try persona v14.0.7? I've matched the classes with harmony theme so maybe that was the issue. https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/commit/9b42abd5f8eb26b16e39633a2c8c407d40d3ab4e

Don't forget to rebuild and restart after installing the new version.

karsten13

sorry, but no change to my picture posted above ...

I edited package.json to change persona version and

rm -f package-lock.json
rm -rf node_modules
npm i
./nodebb build

I'm not really familiar with apple but used new private tab and deleted cache (have only a business cellphone for testing).

<baris>

Yeah it's weird, I don't have access to an apple device so I can't reproduce.

eeeee

Which model iphone are you using which has the issue?
I tried it on iphone 15

karsten13

@eeeee

the problem occurs only if you logged in (as you see the images are blocked as guest)
in the public forum I use the css workaround to remove the problematic thumbnails (so it will work there too if you are logged in)
for testing I used a local copy
