3.4.0 Upgrade Support

Lenko

When I upgrade from nodebb 2 to 3.4 the upgrade works fine except for the end, which gives me the following errors:

ERROR in ./build/public/src/client/chats.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'composer/autocomplete' in '/var/www/foro/nodebb/build/public/src/client'

ERROR in ./build/public/src/modules/quickreply.js

When I start the forum it seems that everything is fine, but:

in the administrative area, the links in the left bar do not work.
in the forum itself only the top bar is visible. If I click on any link nothing loads either, but if I reload with F5 I can see the page.

Can you help me?

Thanks.

@Lenko from those messages it seems that you don't have the composer plugin activated. Try activating the composer via ./nodebb activate nodebb-plugin-composer-default and then run ./nodebb build again. Now you can restart and test again. Also make sure a theme is active. You can check all installed and activated plugins by running ./nodebb plugins.

@baris, thanks a lot.

This was the problem. I deactivate all the plugin before the upgrade.

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)

+1 for “or”

@crazycells @baris Draftzone... noice

EDIT: on second thoughts, I thought the draft zone area/panel was the solution to @crazycells suggestion, is it? was it? Was it always there? I'm confused me? I confused I am am I?

crazycells

@omega yes, draft zone was always there, but it was the bottom panel, and we had to scroll whole page from bottom to top more than 20 times to place all the widgets...

So, the solution was putting the panels side by side and converting them into "scrollable" panel... it works great right now with 3.5.0

Guys I am still getting this error.

Error Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later

I tried everything and I am on NodeBB 3.5.2

Any tips how to fix this error? Users are unable to do any uploads.

Do not bother using imgur. They started deleting old images we uploaded here. Basically equivalent to imageshack now.

Host locally

faizanzahid

@julian hosting locally is not an option for us. because our users are uploading too many junk media/pics/videos etc and we have 200K+ users, so we dont want the hassle of expensive server storage cost and moving/migrating/managing so much user media uploads.

Do you have some other free way to manage the user uploads? other than self host, coz self host is too expensive and hard to maintain and manage. e.g we upgraded our nodeBB and it took over 4 hours coz of 100M+ uploads in objects collection

@faizanzahid have a look at the Storj plugin
