Invited (future) users can't register

sfchun

Thanks for your answer,

I uninstalled the plugin, went to user section from the forum.
And when I click on the green button : Invite nothing happen...
Even not an error in logs, it's like the button does nothing at all...

Want to be sure ... this green invite button is to invite someone to be member of the forum ?
Not to invite a member to a group right ?

@sfchun Yep, that's the right button. Hmm, I tested it and it worked for me. No error in the browser console either?

sfchun

I have one error that comes when the main page is loaded :
WebSocket connection to 'ws://mydomain.com/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket&sid=f7lp9ue1TJNpSNzkAAAS' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

But other than this one no error reported, no error when I click on : invitation

sfchun

Answer found !

Invitation button in user tab is NOT working if the theme is not the default one.

nodebb-theme-persona (default) : Ok
nodebb-theme-vanilla : Fails
nodebb-theme-lavender : Fails

And now mail is sent to the user , but link from the mail point to : localhost:4567 ...

yariplus

Oh, yeah, I see it. Vanilla and Lavender have the component misspelled. XD

<baris>

@yariplus I will fix that now

yariplus

@sfchun What do you have in your config.json for url?

sfchun

localhost:4567 was in url field in config.json
I modified manually to mydomain.com, restarted nodebb... since then it is impossible to login anymore...
I'm stuck...
Even reverting back to localhost:4567 does not help ... -_-;

yariplus

Hmm, I'm not sure, maybe check that there isn't a second instance running somehow, maybe restart nginx.

sfchun

I've try everything, even clean install from scratch.
each time I modify the url in config.json right after, any attempt to access the forum is rejected.
reverting to the old reference change nothing...

18/9 20:01 [18732] - error: /login
invalid csrf token

yariplus

Try clearing you browser cache/cookies?

sfchun

Ok right , it works now.

Keep default theme until others are fixed to allow invitation to people.
modify url from localhost to mydomain.com in config.json solved the 'wrong url' send by mail
after this ,
clearing cache in browser will avoid having invalid csrf token error.

Do you have an idea on when the themes will be fixed ?
and how to update them ?

Was wondering if : git pull is necessary before doing : ./nodebb upgrade ?

yariplus

@sfchun @baris fixed the themes yesterday, but he didn't push to npm. You can pull directly from the repo via the command-line (see below), or poke him to push it to npm.

FYI, to install/upgrade a package directly from github: (You don't typically want to ever do this)

npm i git+https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-vanilla.git

Also,

"git pull" updates NodeBB, "./nodebb upgrade" updates its dependent packages.

sfchun

Thanks a lot for updating, and information !
