0.4.2 UPGRADE: Generated avatar disappeared

[hek]

Hmm ... I don't have that option under users in production. On our stage environment this new option shows though... Should I reset plugins somehow after upgrade?

You don't have to reset plugins when upgrading between minor revisions.

[hek]

Hmm. ok,

I wonder why I got different results when deploying the same nodebb-docker container on two different servers. Only difference is that we got more users in production.

[hek]

After

./nodebb stop 
./nodebb upgrade 
./nodebb start 

in stage the option disappeared there also..

If the code and templates are all the same, then perhaps cache is old on the production server?

[hek]

Thanks,

What cache? Browser or do you have a nodebb-cache somewhere also?

I saw the new user-option in stage and was able to set it. The next upgrade/restart it was gone.

@hek

Did a stop/start in the shell.. And now it's back again.. Really strange.. I wonder if our theme is involved somehow.

[hek]

yep, activation our theme breaks things. But nothing obvious in the log. Well time to hit bed here.

Sorry I know less about this new feature since @baris worked on it recently - are you saying that the default gravatar identicons for users without an avatar have stopped working?

[a_5mith]

Visiting the forum, I can see the issue.

To clarify, on your custom theme, all custom avatars 404. Gravatar icons work fine, as they're being served externally from Gravatars servers. But then that leads on to your next issue of not being able to define default avatars from inside your custom themes ACP.

I'd imagine your theme is out of date and needs updating, but I'm not 100% on the best practice of doing that.

[hek]

When activating our own theme (working in 0.4.1) it breaks the select-avatar-type functionality in the admin console. How these two thing relate beats me.

Anyhow.. any known theme-changes between 0.4-1 and 0.4.2 that could explain this?

@hek What templates do you guys override in your theme? You may have to reapply those changes with the latest version of some of those files.
