The new community.nodebb.org theme!

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

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

@julian said:

In other words black magic.

aaron

Haha thanks

I just did that and got this error:

$ git remote add upstream [email protected]:designcreateplay/NodeBB.git
Aarons-MacBook-Air-2:old-forum aaronclaytondunn$ git fetch upstream
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

aaron

Hi again,

I'm pretty sure I'm all upgraded now and I still get the same error. My browser console gives me this error:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

And the page loads but without any styling. Even reverting the theme in admin > themes doesn't work anymore. Any idea what the issue is? By the way, here are my server logs while it is running:

Please get back to me as soon as you get a chance! Thanks!

what's the output of

git describe --tags

aaron

$ git describe --tags
fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.

Also, just realized that the error only shows up on Google Chrome (the browser I first opened it on). No problem with Safari or Chrome Canary). What?!

bentael

caching is not working for you - something is up with your git repo. My gut says incorrect user permission.
