Theme and stylesheet loading issues

[datz]

in our key store we have

key values in the following formats:

"categories:21:tid"

"categories:recent_posts:cid:2"

"categories:cid"

"category:3"

we see the following function return null/undefined:

Categories.getAllCategories = function(uid, callback) {
                db.getSortedSetRange('categories:cid', 0, -1, function(err, cids) {
                        if(err) {
                                return callback(err);
                        }

                        if(cids && cids.length === 0) {
                                return callback(null, {categories : []});
                        }

                    Categories.getCategories(cids, uid, callback);
            });
    };

What does zrange categories:cid 0 -1 say?

[datz]

zrange categories:cid 0 -1

@baris

redis 127.0.0.1:6379[5]> zrange categories:cid 0 -1
(error) ERR Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value

[datz]

any way to salvage this? lots of important data on here.

[baris]

Looks like you didn't run the upgrade that updated categories to a sorted set then. Try updating to latest and then ./nodebb upgrade. Don't forget to make a backup of your database.

[datz]

@baris yes i have the latest code and did a upgrade

###themePath not a string? or file names not string? possible hidden files .file?

https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/blob/master/src/meta.js#L88 can you add console.log(themePath); on that line and let me know the result?

[datz]

console.log(themePath);

@baris undefined

[datz]

where is it defined? where does nconf trace to? can i redefine it? what is the proper path?

[baris]

Can you test with https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/commit/fb1313ec90ff093dd28aed205f9b7882ee82bd06 looks like themes_path wasnt set in upgrade

[datz]

@baris ok we are good to go.

[datz]

@baris also, how can i set a user as an admin from the redis-cli command line?

[baris]

It is better to do that from the admin control panel.

But if you don't have access to the ACP.

hget group:gid administrators
"1" <- use this value
sadd  gid:1:members <uid> 

replace <uid> with your user id.

To get the user id use :

hget username:uid <yourusername>
