Can edit a username value

bentael

I obviously can in the DB and I did, but now the /users/newvalue goes to 404, and the user is not showing in the search results, even if I search for an exact match.

I tried restarting, editing the nodebbusersearch:{id}, ...I

You'll have to edit their "username" and generate an appropriate "userslug" for that user as well.

To reindex all searches, hit up /debug/reindex in development mode.

sweet Thanks ! yea, i used the util.slugify and changed that too in the db

bentael

note to self:

never run:

NODE_END=development node app.js
run /debug/reindex
in production

I ended up

cd NodeBB/src/database 
node
> var redis  = require('./redis');
> redis.searchRemove('user', 12345);
> redis.searchIndex ('user' , 'newusername', 12345);

Search now works, however, accessing via /user/newuserslug route is still 404ing but /user/olduserslug works? where is that value in the DB ?

Always good to back up your db first before db diving

@bentael db.setObjectField('userslug:uid', userslug, uid);
