I think this method is a bad practices for users, for example I have a 10 topics with one tag for all topics - smartphones and individual tags ios, android, harmonyos, windows.

Totally agree, the expected behavior is for it to work like the category filter on the topics page, you can select multiple categories and it shows topics from each of them (or in this case, multiple tags)

[brazzerstop]

How search looks for guest

hi @baris , is there any reason that the stale topic function cannot be disabled?

We already have the necro threshold set, so I would like to set it to "0" to disable this function, if technically possible, I will open a GH issue.

[julian]

I think he actually just did this

[baris]

Yup its coming in 3.5.0 setting it to 0 will disable it.

[crazycells]

lol sorry my bad, It is indeed on the previous page.

The current method is not work in search engine and on forum this navigation stroke everytime show Home

We need set content 0 to category name and content 1 to topic title, after this we get correct result in search.

Upd. Or maybe content 0 to forum name (look on screenshot www.google.com was replace to Google), and next content 1 - category name, content 2 - topic title.

I tested this on my forum by adding json and after reindexing the search correctly shows beautiful links. A small thing, but nice.

[baris]

Our category page does have breadcrumbs do you mean the topic page? We need to add https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/breadcrumb#json-ld into topic.tpl maybe.

[brazzerstop]

@baris category page have it, but with incorrect data...

@baris said in 3.4.0 Upgrade Support:

do you mean the topic page?

On category page should be category name (Technical Support, not Home) and topic page we need set category name + topic title

And if we want to show the community name instead of a link, we need to add content 0 with the community name. So we get this result in search:

NodeBB Community > Technical Support > How are you?

NodeBB Community - content 0 in schema
Technical Support - content 1 in schema
How are you? - content 2 in schema

When the forum theme changes, we end up having 100+ draft HTML widgets on the list... and it is very annoying and time-consuming to drag them one by one across the whole page...

Can this page be re-designed with separate scrollable panels? so that we can quickly move HTML widgets around? (Or any other way to make things easier?)

I'm upgrading from 2.x to 3.4.3 and I ran into this issue:

So I tried this and it seems to be working now. The only thing I worry about is if I'm using the correct versions of the mongodb libs now.

$ npm update --omit=dev --legacy-peer-deps
$ ./nodebb upgrade

I also got this deprecation warning during client side styles step, I believe:

Deprecation Warning: Passing percentage units to the global abs() function is deprecated.
In the future, this will emit a CSS abs() function to be resolved by the browser.
To preserve current behavior: math.abs(100%)
To emit a CSS abs() now: abs(#{100%})

@crazycells Makes sense, will be available in 3.5.0.

[baris]

@djensen47 you can check the versions by running npm ls mongodb and npm ls connect-mongo If you are on 3.4.3 then they should be 5.8.1 and 5.0.0 respectively.

You can ignore the sass deprecation warnings those will be resolved once nodebb 3.5.0 launches.

[crazycells]

@djensen47 this will go away soon in 3.5.0

@baris looking forward for 3.5.0 then
