Persona - nodebb v1.6 - problem with expanding menu on mobile version

[nadiaEugenia]

After pushing navbar button on mobile version, loading spinner pops out and keeps on spinning, also chats button doesn't show up

v1.6 or v1.16?

Have you tried a rebuild and restart?

[nadiaEugenia]

@nadiaeugenia do you mind sharing your URL? Have you tried disabling plugins? What browser are you using?

@nadiaeugenia Did you fork the quickstart Theme?

GitHub - NodeBB/nodebb-theme-quickstart: Quickstart Theming Shell

Quickstart Theming Shell. Contribute to NodeBB/nodebb-theme-quickstart development by creating an account on GitHub.

GitHub (github.com)

Then you have to check the plugin.json.

In quickstart theme it is currently:

"scripts": [
		"lib/client.js",
		"../nodebb-theme-persona/lib/persona.js",
		"../nodebb-theme-persona/lib/modules/nprogress.js",
		"../nodebb-theme-persona/lib/modules/autohidingnavbar.min.js",
		"../nodebb-theme-persona/lib/modules/quickreply.js"
	],

you have to edit the path from /lib/ to /public/.

Also the file nprogress.js isn't available anymore.

Take a look at https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/tree/master/public

maybe @baris could update the quickstart theme repo?

@nadiaEugenia your plugin.json should look like this to get sidebar working:

"scripts": [
		"lib/client.js",
		"../nodebb-theme-persona/public/persona.js",
		"../nodebb-theme-persona/public/modules/autohidingnavbar.min.js",
		"../nodebb-theme-persona/public/modules/quickreply.js"
	],

I have had the same issue but fixed it yesterday.
Don't forget to add your custom scripts eg "lib/client.js"

Small supplement:

Got the same error after upgrading NodeBB to 1.16.1. Endless loading spinner on mobile view.

Solution:

I installed and activated another theme. In my case it was:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodebb-theme-oxide

After activating the plugin I ran

./nodebb build
./nodebb start

after that I switched back to nodebb-theme-persona via the ACP.

again:

./nodebb build
./nodebb start

After that my sidebar is working on mobile again.

Hope this helps.

I updated the quickstart repo to remove nprogress
