Theme and stylesheet loading issues

datz

I had to recover my system and now themes/stylesheets are not working properly.

/stylesheet.css?v=v0.3.2-88-gcb98618

is not found

julian

recover my system

System restore?

Assuming you haven't modified any of the files in NodeBB, please back up your Redis database and run the following:

git reset --hard HEAD
git pull
./nodebb upgrade

datz

I recovered but i had to go to v0.3.x branch or i got errors. everything works again except for the stylesheet.

i believe categories got messed up in the database.

datz

git reset --hard HEAD

only v0.3.x works with categories - however the stylesheet.css is not loaded or found

datz

@datz it is definitely the categories. any way i can refactor the categories to work from v0.3.x to the new master?

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

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?
