[Solved] Cannot change settings
-
Hi!
I have followed NodeBB for some time now (it's an awesome project!) and currently I am in need for some good and modern forum software. I choose NodeBB. So I installed a fresh copy of 0.4.3 and wanted to go ahead and configure it.
But unfortunately, I cannot change the settings or upload anything, just like the other admins here. Since you said it might be a theme related problem, I changed the theme to lavender in ACP (it said I should restart NodeBB). I restarted NodeBB (./nodebb restart), but the theme did not change.Is there a workaround for now or will I need to wait for a hotfix?
-
@psychobunny Good morning, no that's not the problem. The theme is properly configured. I also have the same problem on a new install in which I haven't modified anything yet. It looks like the buttons in the admin don't trigger anything.
-
@Giorgio-Chiodi no, unfortunately I only found more things which don't work. I did not change anything. I just installed it. Even without plugins, I cannot make it work. It's really frustrating.
-
@Giorgio-Chiodi A bug would effect everyone, the ACP works fine for me, it's not a bug when it only effects you.
-
@a_5mith A bug might not effect everyone. It might depend on certain configurations or combinations of other software. For example @Giorgio-Chiodi might have MongoDB, like I do, while you have Redis (I dunno, this is just an example). This difference alone might be enough to trigger a serious bug!
-
@Giorgio-Chiodi nope, I had a problem with Redis, so I use MongoDB. I also use a proxy (NGINX) which I configured according to the wiki so that I can use Port 80 for all incoming traffic to the server (PHP, Node,...)
-
@julian nighttime is the best time of the day^^ well, I changed the configuration so that I can access nodebb directly (without NGINX) and got the same result: I cannot change the settings, upload anything, use custom CSS rules, edit categories,...
-
@julian @baris @psychobunny @Giorgio-Chiodi Problem solved. I updated the themes
npm i nodebb-theme-vanilla@latest nodebb-theme-lavender@latest(julian's proposal) and now I can change my settings again, disable categories, etc.
So I would suggest that you add up2date themes to the current installation of nodebb or - even better - have nodebb check if all used themes and plugins are up2date and warn the user about it (will make feature proposal for this)As I said, I installed a clean new copy of nodebb (as described in the docs) and I could not use it at all. This problem might scare away admins, so it would help everyone if it got fixed
-
@Giorgio-Chiodi In my case it is fixed. Still doing some testing, but it looks good
