Sidebar vanished, Lavender theme

psychobunny

personally I would have been pretty upset if you didn't think it was cool

finid

Yeah, considering that I almost got excommunicated for harping on sidebars.

julian

It's ok @planner, without you, we'd still be developing on a NodeBB without sidebars *shudder*.

anooxy

I fixed this, I had to rerun upgrade and reset and reactivate all plugins after redumping the db. My bad for not trying it that way before.

I still get a small bug in admin panel. When I delete a user it doesn't remove it from the display, I have to reload the page.

@julian that one looks great actually.

manuel

today i upgraded to 4.0.0 and i have the same issue, plus content not loading when i click menus in admin
i tried to reset and rerun upgrade, this is still not working and i see this error in console

firefox could not establish a connection to server ws://forum.xxxxxxxx.com/socket.io/1/websocket/GzrMxZ8uYBdQX12C21GS. (socket.io.js:2)
utils.makeNumbersHumanReadable is not a function (app.js:287)

manuel

utils.makeNumbersHumanReadable is not a function (app.js:287)

ctrl+f5 (after several times) solved the .js issue (content not loading in admin), but only in the admin
the forum index still does not display the homepage sidebar, but if i put some widgets in global sidebar they will be displayed

and why after a reset i still have all plugins on? i am using lavender theme.

julian

@manuel Could you try the latest version of NodeBB (or if you're on v0.4.x branch, update the code in that branch), and run ./nodebb upgrade again?

Please run this command and let me know what it says: npm ls nodebb-widget-essentials nodebb-theme-vanilla nodebb-theme-lavender

./nodebb stop --> ./nodebb line 31: kill (no such process)

git pull + nodebb upgrade says i have all up to date

[email protected] with lavender 0.0.25-0, vanilla 0.0.19-1, widgets-essentials 0.0.21-0

starting in log mode:
some plugins are using the deprecated "callbacked" method

plugins are marked as deactivated in admin but i can see on forum that emoji, twitter, soundcloud are working like if they are active O.o

the homepage and category sidebars lost theyr widgets that are now gone in drafts sidebar
there are some issues dragging them (they are positioned away from mouse pointer while dragging)
after reconfiguring and saving sidebars it's still not displayed in the homepage and plus the theme is not "running smoothly" and there are some bad looking things (like up/down votes)

i tried switching from firefox 30 to chrome, same situation and same error in websocket connection

i think i have to downgrade to previous version

trevor

@anooxy I tried, I guess it was a bug.

julian

@manuel Sounds like you have an existing NodeBB process running. Make sure there are no orphaned NodeBBs running!

ps aux | grep node, and then kill -9 with impunity.

after killing and restarting everything i have this js error in admin

Error: script error for: alerts (require.js:8)

same for the path forum/admin/ loggers|database|events and forum/admin/plugins/ nameplugin

some plugins like local emailer and shoutbox won't work in admin

i still can't see the sidebar in homepage and moreover while navigating through forum when i go back to the home nothing will be loaded (or better, categories are invisible O.o)

i cannot change theme from lavender to vanilla i.e. O.o

manuel

when content is not displayed i can see this error in js console

t.match is not a function (nodebb.min.js:9)

this will get me mad... need to downgrade

anooxy

When you start NodeBB check your logs. If it says your redis schema is not up to date do a:

node app --upgrade

julian

@manuel, please try the following:

$ cd /path/to/nodebb
$ ./nodebb stop
$ git fetch
$ git checkout v0.4.x
$ ./nodebb upgrade
$ ./nodebb start   # or "./nodebb dev" for interactive output

note that before running your commands i was on master branch, git-pulled and ./nodebb upgraded without errors
then i tried to checkout to 0.3.2 to go back but without good results
and now with your instructions i get this:

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/marked/0.3.2

error: [upgrade] NodeBB upgrade could not complete, as your database schema is too far out of date.
error: [upgrade] Please ensure that you did not skip any minor version upgrades.
error: [upgrade] (e.g. v0.1.x directly to v0.3.x)

...but it's impossible that i have downgraded db schema O.o

i tried switching back to 0.3.x and re run upgrade, as suggested here but i have still the same error upgrading from 0.3 to 0.4

julian

If you get that error on the v0.3.x branch, then you need to switch to the v0.2.x branch, and run the following (note that these commands differ only because they are from a very old version of NodeBB):

$ git checkout v0.2.x
$ rm -rf node_modules
$ npm install
$ node app --upgrade
$ git checkout v0.3.x
$ npm install
$ ./nodebb upgrade
$ git checkout v0.4.x
$ ./nodebb upgrade

manuel

i tried to run 0.4.0 dev + ignore db schema

i can't navigate admin:

Firefox cannot connect with server ws://forum.xxxx.com/socket.io/1/websocket/bdaa8lXtzQdKZO8UjoGX. socket.io.js:2
TypeError: template.match is not a function - templates.js:101

i can't navigate frontend:

Firefox cannot connect with server ws://forum.xxxx.com/socket.io/1/websocket/NBqHGkoOWpDRMF3ZjoGb. socket.io.js:2
TypeError: template.match is not a function nodebb.min.js:11229

manuel

@julian

the error happens after 0.4.x checkout.. to be more clear:

i have never been on v0.2.x, when i first installed nodebb it was already on 0.3.x
so, do i really have to run this?

If you get that error on the v0.3.x branch, then you need to switch to the v0.2.x branch, and run the following (note that these commands differ only because they are from a very old version of NodeBB):
$ git checkout v0.2.x
$ rm -rf node_modules
$ npm install
$ node app --upgrade
$ git checkout v0.3.x
$ npm install
$ ./nodebb upgrade
$ git checkout v0.4.x
$ ./nodebb upgrade

if i try to run 0.3.x i get this
