Emojis not working

PitaJ

Can you check and make sure nodebb-plugin-emoji-extended is installed and activated? Also, check the NodeBB logs for errors.

Both nodebb-plugin-emoji-extended and nodebb-plugin-emoji-one are installed and activated. The logs show no error.
When I want to add emoticons in composer, I don't see previews of said emoticons, just a bunch of :somecode:

PitaJ

Can you post the output of ./nodebb plugins

arso1er

Sure.

Here is an example of my issue by the way.

I believe there's a way to rebuild the emoji stuff, that may be what you need to do

arso1er

Well, how can I rebuild it then?

PitaJ

Look through the admin page for the emoji

I went to Plugins => Emoji Extended and toyed a little with settings but nothing resolved the issue.

After many hours trying to solve this, I gave up and did a fresh installation on another droplet and it worked.

The thing I don't understand is on my old droplet, even and re-installation didn't solve anything. I'm concerned about this because I may face this issue in the future and doing everything from scratch on another droplet won't always be a viable solution.

Anyway, thanks @PitaJ for spending time helping me.

In the future, nodebb-plugin-emoji-extended will be deprecated in favor of nodebb-plugin-emoji v2, so these problems will hopefully not occur any more.
