Unsolved Emoji Plugin - Emojis showing as undefined-alt

[photoshoplol]

Hello! Our community is fairly new to the NodeBB ecosystem and this is personally my first time deploying a nodebb forum.

Everything went smoothly until I tried to install nodebb-plugin-emoji plus some emoji packs.

All emojis default to unicode or undefined

Solutions tried:

• reinstalled emoji plugin
• reinstalled emoji packs (with the usual restart, install, and rebuild cycle)

Likely cause:

• URI mismatch (since we use a subfolder instead of a subdomain)
• dependency issues

Other deets:

• NodeBB v1.17.0
• Node v14.6.0
• npm v6.14.6

Have you tried building emoji assets from the plugin page?

What is your url in config.json?

[photoshoplol]

@pitaj Yes I have, and after building emoji assets I also rebuilt NodeBB

url in config.json

"url": "http://localhost:4567/forums/",

I'm also thinking that this is the issue

@photoshoplol please try removing the trailing slash. If that doesn't work I'll take a look at your site.

@pitaj Thanks for replying! I removed the trailing slash but the problem still persists

Oh actually I missed this earlier. Your url in config.json should be set to exactly the url at which you access your site.

@pitaj

Thanks! This kinda fixed it since emojis are now being shown, but an undefined image alt still appears beside them.

@photoshoplol you actually see the alts there rather than the actual emoji picture. In my browser it doesn't show the missing image icon like yours.

I think this is happening because of the composer you're using. Quill? Open up an issue on the emoji plugin GitHub page and I'll take a look.

@pitaj Clearing my browser cache didn't do anything either. For context my browser is Opera GX

Thanks a lot for your help! The issue is now forwarded to the Quill github
