When the forum theme changes, we end up having 100+ draft HTML widgets on the list... and it is very annoying and time-consuming to drag them one by one across the whole page...

Can this page be re-designed with separate scrollable panels? so that we can quickly move HTML widgets around? (Or any other way to make things easier?)

I'm upgrading from 2.x to 3.4.3 and I ran into this issue:

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE

So I tried this and it seems to be working now. The only thing I worry about is if I'm using the correct versions of the mongodb libs now.

$ npm update --omit=dev --legacy-peer-deps
$ ./nodebb upgrade

I also got this deprecation warning during client side styles step, I believe:

Deprecation Warning: Passing percentage units to the global abs() function is deprecated.
In the future, this will emit a CSS abs() function to be resolved by the browser.
To preserve current behavior: math.abs(100%)
To emit a CSS abs() now: abs(#{100%})

@crazycells Makes sense, will be available in 3.5.0.

<baris>

@djensen47 you can check the versions by running npm ls mongodb and npm ls connect-mongo If you are on 3.4.3 then they should be 5.8.1 and 5.0.0 respectively.

You can ignore the sass deprecation warnings those will be resolved once nodebb 3.5.0 launches.

crazycells

@djensen47 this will go away soon in 3.5.0

@baris looking forward for 3.5.0 then

I'm seeing this in the logs, I had to disable the plugin to make the error stop:

2023-10-09T01:53:46.325Z [4568/12466] - error: [emoji] Failed to retrieve data for parse ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/var/srv/nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-emoji/build/emoji/table.json' {"code":"ENOENT","errno":-2,"path":"/var/srv/nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-emoji/build/emoji/table.json","stack":"Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/var/srv/nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-emoji/build/emoji/table.json'","syscall":"open"}

<baris>

@djensen47 you can enable the plugin and go to the settings of the plugin and click build emoji assets after that rebuild and restart it should get rid of that error.

The other problem I'm experiencing is some npm link weirdness with my dice bot plugin.

The main problem at the moment is that it is not installed but enabled and I can't figure out how to uninstall it:

* nodebb-plugin-dice-bot (not installed, enabled)

Also, this seems strange:

2023-10-09T02:05:23.525Z [4567,4568/13500] - error: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/var/srv/nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-require/plugin.json'

<baris>

You can uninstall a plugin from the cli with npm uninstall <plugin_name>.

Dave Jensen

@baris I fixed it by installing the latest version from npm.

Side question: why doesn't my dice-bot plugin show up in the "find plugins" tab on Plugins page?

Likely the nbbpm.compatibility field needs to be updated.

Dave Jensen

@julian Yeah, I did that: https://github.com/djensen47/nodebb-plugin-dice-bot/blob/master/package.json

julian

@djensen47 responded in the commit — you might want to try < 4.0.0

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

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.

<baris>

@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.

Lenko

@baris, thanks a lot.

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

@brazzerstop said in 3.4.0 Upgrade Support:

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)
