Unable to install any NodeBB themes

[sean.js]

Hi there!

I'm currently using NodeBB for a community that I'm starting up called DevJS (developjavascript), our forum: https://discuss.devjs.org. I'm having an issue where I cannot seem to install any themes, I am continually given this error:

Note this is not particular to the NodeBB rocket theme, but is also the case for any other themes that I've tried installing. The odd thing though, is that even though the theme throws an error during installation it is listed in the themes list in the administrative dashboard, however when you attempt to use it, most of the time you get a broken version of the theme, or more errors are thrown and NodeBB becomes unstable.

Yeah, there are very few themes compatible with recent NodeBB versions. afaik, only persona, vanilla, and lavender. You may have some luck contacting the devs of a theme and asking them to update it.

Ah I see, thanks for clearing up the confusion!

@yariplus How difficult are they to update?

[yariplus]

@AtonB117 Depending on how old they are and their complexity, it can be very difficult.

@yariplus Okay. I'm just going to do some code comparisons and see what i can figure out (read: BREAK).
