@baris it is v3.1.4

I have added this condition:

if(tokenObj) {
     tokenObj.uid = parseInt(tokenObj.uid, 10);
     if (tokenObj.timestamp) {
         tokenObj.timestampISO = new Date(parseInt(tokenObj.timestamp, 10)).toISOString();
     }

 return tokenObj;
 }

The NodeBB now can running successfully but I still can not access the dashboard

I tried to debug the code and I found this:

2023-07-28T01:25:03.957Z [4567/3584] - verbose: tokenObj null
2023-07-28T01:25:03.957Z [4567/3584] - verbose: tokenObj null

2023-07-28T01:25:03.957Z [4567/3584] - verbose: tokenObj null

some of the tokenObj is null. Why is this happen ?

My NodeBB forum in production can not started due to this error:

2023-07-28T00:36:19.835Z [4567/2314] - error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'uid')

This error located in:

// src/meta/configs.js:177:39

plugins.hooks.register('core', {
		hook: 'filter:settings.get',
		method: async ({ plugin, values }) => {
			if (plugin === 'core.api' && Array.isArray(values.tokens)) {
				values.tokens = values.tokens.map((tokenObj) => {
					tokenObj.uid = parseInt(tokenObj.uid, 10);
					if (tokenObj.timestamp) {
						tokenObj.timestampISO = new Date(parseInt(tokenObj.timestamp, 10)).toISOString();
					}

					return tokenObj;
				});
			}

			return { plugin, values };
		},
	});

What is the possible cause of this error? I tried to use my dev mongodb and the error gone. I think there is some missing or broken data in my mongodb, but I dont know what it is. Is there anything I need to check?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you!

Hello, how could I find the code behind this route /api/category/:cid ?
I tried to search in the code base but could not find any.

Thanks in advance

@baris wooow
Thanks for putting this into a priority

Currently I have around 1500 API tokens in my development server, when I open API tokens management page in ACP, it takes some time to load all of the tokens. I think it would be great if the API tokens are shown in a form of table with a pagination, search and sorting feature.

Solved after upgrading to v3.1.4
Reference: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/pull/11533/commits

Thanks @julian for addressing this issue.

Hello @julian, could you give me some references regarding this sorted-list library that you mention?

@julian is there any workaround for this particular issue? Currently I need to disable the forum feature in my production environment

@baris there is only one line of code after that:

helpers.formatApiResponse(200, res, newToken);

@baris said in All the API token erased from the admin page:

Maybe put a console.log inside meta.settings.set and see if it is being called like that.

I will try to put this logging and see the behavior

@julian yes, I am sure. the admin token and the user tokens are all gone both in admin page and in the database

@baris I use the existing code:

        const settings = await meta.settings.get('core.api');
	settings.tokens = settings.tokens || [];

	const newToken = {
		token: utils.generateUUID(),
		uid: req.params.uid,
		description: req.body.description || '',
		timestamp: Date.now(),
	};
	settings.tokens.push(newToken);
	await meta.settings.set('core.api', settings);

@baris said in All the API token erased from the admin page:

Are the tokens still in the database when you look at the keys settings:core.api:sorted-list:tokens:0

I don't think so. The tokens is completely gone in DB. Here is the result of the db query

Here is the result using regex with prefix ^setting:core.api

@julian thanks for your quick reply

Could you suggest me any work around for this? Maybe I can modify the existing code for a hot fix?

Also could you point me out the code that store the data in a json file?

Thanks a lot

I have a bit serious issue in my production environment, where the API token (including master token) periodically erased from the admin page. The client I use to connect to the NodeBB API is unable to connect anymore since the API is erased. This incident is not happening in development environment since the number of API tokens generated is quite low. The api token in production environment can reach up to thousands of API tokens.

Is there any limit or restriction related to the size of the generated API token? Like the number of the API generated or the frequency of the token used by another http client?

Thanks in advance.

@julian thanks for your reply. I will try to apply your PR directly and see the result.

When calling these two API endpoint, I got a different response for content field.

This is the response from https://community.nodebb.org/api/v3/posts/92425

This one is from https://community.nodebb.org/api/recent

One has html tags in the content text, while the other doesn't.
My question is, how could I make the json response content field always show the html tags?

Thanks in advance.

@baris Alright. Clear. Thanks a lot!

@baris where exactly should I implement my custom logic? Is it after firing the hook and filtering the hook result, or somewhere else?

I am using the hook filter:category.topics.prepare to get all tids under certain category. I need to filter this tids based on certain condition, because I don't want to load the whole topics under the category. What is the best approach to do this?

This is piece of code that I currently use (copied from src/categories/topics.js) :

   let results = await plugins.hooks.fire('filter:category.topics.prepare', data);
   const tids = await Categories.getTopicIds(results);
   let topicsData = await topics.getTopicsByTids(tids, data.uid);

Thanks in advance.
