Is this plugin compatible with 3.x? Any active development as far as you can tell?

@baris: resetting to Harmony theme did the trick but this completely screws UX and old CSS customization are basically useless.
Back to my second question: how realistic is to have Slick theme ported to 3.x?
If not realistic, assuming I could consider porting it, where to start from?

OK, got it. How to make this happen with nodeBB not starting?
Second question: do you plan to port Slick theme to 3.x?

Thanks @julian! Actually, the theme the former version was running was the Slick theme which I think came with the standard installation. Am I wrong?

Hi @baris , I've just tried to upgrade from 2.8.x to 3.5.3 and while the upgrade process went smoothly attempting to run it I get this

It's also important mentioning that when executing ./nodebb build I got

Where to go from here?
Many thanks, Riccardo

Hi all,

I've been used the Slick theme for quite a while and there there's the Subscribe button. Now, upon switching to the Persona theme, I can't find any evidence of it. Is it a bug or is it by design? If it's by design how can I subscribe to a Category?

Thanks, Riccardo

Hi guys, I've an easy question likely related to me being rusty.

In one of my forum I'm seeing the deleted threads appearing in the category listing even though "view deleted posts" is active only for moderators. Is it expected? Shouldn't these threads being removed in the category view even if they were not purged but only marked as deleted?

Thanks, R

@baris Thanks a lot!

Hi community,

can anybody tell me how is constructed the post request sent when the submit button is pressed for a new post?

Cheers, R

@baris said in Possible to get user id from email from api?:

https://community.nodebb.org/api/user/email/[email protected]

Hi @baris, how can I get this request sent from a python script and get pre-authenticated via Python?
I tried with authorization bearer token but it seems it works only with api/v3, and in api v3 I've no chance to retrieve the user id from an email.

Thanks for any help

Hi guys,

after migrating data from another forum engine to nodeBB at Maxon - @Jay-Moonah - we found that the "In categories" field in Advanced Search is empty.

We've never experienced it before, and I wonder if it's a theme issue or a data migration issue.

PS. dbsearch indexes have been successfully recreated.

Cheers, Riccardo

Hi all, this is indeed a dumb question but better asking and sound dumb rather than taking dumb decisions.

I'm thinking to buy the following option and I wonder if it would be enough to run a forum with a peak of 600 concurrent users.

I'm pretty confident that the number of concurrent connections to Mongo DB (max 500) has nothing to do with the number of users connections to the forum, but would be great if somebody confirms based on his/her experience.

Cheers, R

@julian is this approach also used to track read/unread posts (not only notifications)? We've experienced both on our nodeBB instance, as well as here, that the unread category only presents posts/thread that are no more that 1 week old.

Is it safe to change -7 in something more reasonable to us?

cutoff = new Date(today.getFullYear(), today.getMonth(), today.getDate() - 7);

This is a must have here at Maxon.

Cheers, R

@baris Thanks a lot! Have a great weekend!

@baris said in Parsing upgrade scripts... takes forever:

db.objects.getIndexes()

[ { "v" : 2, "key" : { "_id" : 1 }, "name" : "_id_" } ]

@baris How to verify that the indexes on the collection are there? The mongorestore showed no flaws during the restore

Hi Community,

it's the first time that upon restoring a nodeBB instance backup, at the start time I see this

Parsing upgrade scripts... 
OK | 23 script(s) found, 79 skipped
  → [2019/6/23] Create zsets for user posts per category...
....
    [              ] (600/58868) 1% 2021-05-27T06:50:45.408Z [4567/4322] - verbose: [plugins/fireHook] filter:post.getFields
...

It's important to state that I've not run an update from an old to a newer version of nodebb. It's actually just a full instance restore where i restored both the DB and the nodebb files.

Any clue why it's happening? Any clue to avoid it?

Cheers, R
