The new community.nodebb.org theme!

[aaron]

It's called lavender, right? I don't see it in the themes list. Is there a way to install it? Thanks!

[baris]

Try npm install nodebb-theme-lavender

[aaron]

Thanks! Are there any other steps in integrating it or will that make it appear as a theme option in example.com/admin/themes?

[baris]

That should be enough to make it appear in the admin panel, then you have to enable it and restart your instance to see the changes.

[julian]

We're quite proud of lavender (especially @psychobunny, it's his baby). It's still got some kinks that need resolving, but you should see it as default by v0.3.1

[psychobunny]

No no, nope. Not my baby. You nibs are just as responsible for bugs as I am kthxbai

[aaron]

Hey, thanks guys! I just did "npm install nodebb-theme-lavender" and restarted the app. When I revisited the page, it was completely unstyled! Here's the error I got:

LESS File error : '../nodebb-theme-vanilla/less/vanilla.less' wasn't found
LESS File : /var/www/forum/node_modules/nodebb-theme-lavender/theme.less 1:0
undefined

Any ideas?

[julian]

Hey @aaron -- make sure your other dependencies are also up to date, run a ./nodebb upgrade as well.

[aaron]

Thanks again. How do I do those two things?

[psychobunny]

running ./nodebb upgrade should do the trick

[julian]

It's just one command

Go to the directory you installed NodeBB in, and run that command exactly as it appears

[aaron]

Hmmm...I did it and everything seemed to upgrade successfully, but when I ran it, installed the theme, restarted it and visited the page, the page had this error:

event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead.
Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'toISOString' lavender.js:32

[baris]

That is a recent addition to utils.js are you sure you are on the latest NodeBB code?

[aaron]

Oh I guess not. I'll walk through the upgrade instructions I saw on github. Thanks!

[baris]

Make sure to make a backup of your database in case something goes wrong.

[aaron]

Thanks. I've got a crontab task backing up everything to an ebs volume every hour.

OK, so I have my remote repository associated with git in my instance directory. When I do "git pull," it pulls from my bitbucket repository. How do I make it pull/integrate the latest nodebb version?

Thanks for the help!

[baris]

I will let @julian answer that as he is our 'gitmeister' but I think it will be something like git remote set-url origin <nodebb-git-url>

[julian]

git remote add upstream [email protected]:designcreateplay/NodeBB.git

Then to get the latest changes from NodeBB: git fetch upstream

... and put them into your local master branch: git merge upstream/master master

In other words black magic.

[aaron]

Haha thanks

I just did that and got this error:
