NodeBB 3.7.1

[baris]

I normally don't make announcement topics for patch releases but 3.7.0 had a nasty memory leak issue due to our mongodb dependency.

We noticed increased memory usage on our community and try.nodebb.org as well as instances hosted on https://manage.nodebb.org.

After spending some time with git bisect I narrowed it down to the mongodb dependency. Thankfully it was fixed in https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/pull/4022.

3.7.1 has this fix and 2 more bugfixes https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues?q=is%3Aclosed+milestone%3A3.7.1.

If you have upgraded to 3.7.0, you are highly encouraged to upgrade to 3.7.1.

thanks for the reactivity @baris and the team

thanks @baris , can you please check the bottom menu bar on mobile?

the problem I mentioned here continues...

3.7.0 Upgrade Support

I have encountered several issues while using the website on mobile, the bottom bar prevents the visibility of bottom sheet options When browsing sub-catego...

NodeBB Community (community.nodebb.org)

When I click topic tools sequentially, the bottom menu bar appears and obstructs all options to be seen...

[baris]

@crazycells that should be fixed too, this forum was running a separate activitypub branch of the theme so I updated it here as well.

[crazycells]

@baris yes, it is fixed now. Thanks.

If cache causes 504 error we encountered it a lot in 3.7.0. I attributed this to proxy protection.
thanks a lot @baris

hi @baris , how do these reward work?

• "last logged in time"
• "join date"

is the unit in days?

join date > 365
last logged in time > 365

how to interpret these formulas? a user who joined earlier than 365 days ago? and a user who has not been logged in more than 365 days?

[baris]

Days registered unit is days
Last logged in time and join date are unix timestamps in milliseconds

@baris said in NodeBB 3.7.1:

Thanks.

So, we should provide a specific date, right? timeframe (1 month, 1 year etc. will not work?

[baris]

Yeah use a specific date in unixtimestamp for Last logged in time and join date. For days registered you can use 365.

I have a request about the deleted topics... Can we implement some visibility for the right side columns (votes/posts/views) for moderators/admins ?

When a topic is deleted the information on the right side is completely removed, and this info cannot be viewed until clicking the title. While this is OK for regular users, I believe it would be beneficial for moderators to have access to this information on topics list page. Previously, we were able to detect mistakenly deleted topics by moderators due to this visibility. The current way is making our job more challenging.

If this is how your envision how Harmony should work, could I request the necessary code to implement this?

[baris]

You can probably use this

ul.topics-list li.deleted .meta { display: grid!important; }

[crazycells]

@baris thank you it works

[crazycells]

Hi @baris , thank you for implementing two column layout on the widget page, it is now much easier to arrange them. However, I have a request, can we extend these html boxes on the X axis when editing them? They move along the Y axis but not along the X axis... Overall, it will be easier to see the codes...

[phenomlab]

@crazycells I always copy the content of widgets to VSCode and edit them that way in a full blown editor. Once I'm done, I paste them back.

Also means I can save widgets I create so I can share with others.

Is there an easy way to write this sub category name as one line on mobile?

[crazycells]

additionally, since apple started to use .heic as their standart photo format, can you please add this extension to the forum? so, we do not convert these photos anymore

[baris]

@crazycells You can complain to apple https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues/1105

lol thanks... then european union should ban heic and heif, this is the only way lol...

I have seen this one as well... does this mean it requires additional libraries for support?

HEIC support · Issue #3981 · lovell/sharp

Feature request What are you trying to achieve? Would like to see HEIC support to enable conversion from HEIC to other supported formats. Any plans for HEIC support?

[baris]

Yeah you need to have additional native libraries compiled with support for that format. If you don't have those on your server you would get an unsupported format error.
