Is there an official 'Solved' option?

NodeHam

Thank you for that.

NodeHam

I've installed it but not really seeing it working right.

In topic settings I see this;

When posting something and clicking on submit, all I see is;

I think I'm missing something. I've installed it and see it as being activated

Also, I do see it in the plugins list.

@NodeHam are you using any language other than English ? Looks like the translations are messed up. It's in that list under Q&A...

NodeHam

Just one language, English. It was set to UK English so I've set it to USA English but no change.

Yes, sorry, I updated my previous comment that I did actually see it in the list.
However, clicking on the plugin does not lead to any configuration options if there are any.

NodeHam

I looked at this again. I noticed when I clicked on the plugin, the link shows up but the page didn't change.|
I decided to click on the url again (domain.com/admin/plugins/question-and-answer) and this time, I got this;

Can't say I've ever seen an error on nodebb. It's been an amazing package.

@NodeHam try run ./nodebb build

NodeHam

Done. For some reason, I keep getting 'Forbidden' when trying to log in as admin.

www.domain.com/login?local=1
Forbidden

Eventually I can log in or use another browser.

That said, Q&A now seems to be working :).

NodeHam

There is another odd problem where dropdowns/boxes don't show any options.

The only way to get past this is to either fire up another browser, restart the current browser or come back later.

@NodeHam Are you using any form of caching - perhaps Cloudflare ? You may also want to clear the NodeBB cache and restart your NGINX service.

NodeHam

No caching at all. The server is a vm dedicated to the board and nothing else.
BTW, this happens on either firefox or chromium. I run a Linux desktop however so maybe that's part of the issue.

phenomlab

Did you clear the NodeBB cache ? (ACP->/admin/advanced/cache)

PitaJ

I think you need to rebuild and restart, or even reinstall the plugin entirely.

NodeHam

Hi, yes, I've done the rebuild and restart also. However, I had not cleared the cache which I've now done.
I'll report back after a little time has passed now that I've done this and also updated to the latest version again.

If the topic/post tools are empty, you probably have connection issues to the server, check your browser network tab and logs. The data for those dropdowns are loaded when you open them.

NodeHam

Nothing missing, just can't see the drop-downs and can't login sometimes and happens across both browsers I use. Maybe it's related to using a Linux desktop since I didn't have this problem when using Windows.

phenomlab

@NodeHam Are you using any js blocking browser add-ons by any chance on the Linux desktop?

NodeHam

I only have a tab manager in firefox and default in chromium. Let's see how it goes for a little while and I'll report back. Maybe it will be ok now that I've cleared the cache.

NodeHam

I don't know what is going on and this is not new, it's been this way for a long time. I just figured it's my browser/s.
Right now, I cannot even allow (Accept) a first time post from someone using either browser. I click on Accept and nothing happens.

NodeHam

I had someone else try from another computer/network and it's the same for that person. He also tried with Brave and says 'if I try with brave it says the link doesnt exist'.
As admin, I also do not see the post waiting to be accepted but as a mod I do but cannot accept it.

Something must have gotten corrupted maybe?

@NodeHam can you post your nginx.conf ?
