    the trick is to know which plugin is in question!!

    @DownPW sorry. I meant the imgur plugin author

  • @DownPW sorry. I meant the imgur plugin author

    @phenomlab

    hmmm I don’t thinks so because I have the same problem on NO PRODUCTION VM and I have this bug too without nodebb-imgur-plugin.

    I have test with a local url in public nodebb folder and it’s the same too

    I test to desactivate all plugin one by one for see at the moment

    @DownPW let me know when your development server is available tomorrow and I’ll take a look at that code I provided previously

  • no problem I’m at home tomorrow all the day

    I’ll let you know if I find

  • @phenomlab

    I think it’s a nodebb issue, because with only one plugin and one theme activate :

    • nodebb-plugin-composer-default@9.1.0 (installed, enabled)
    • nodebb-theme-persona@12.1.1 (installed, enabled)

    Custom CSS, custom JS, custom Header and all custom widgets are disable…

    Result it’s the same, I have this bug.

    On your dev system, can you test to add a logo for a catégorie, delete the icon and test a new topic in this category ?

    I think you will have the same result.

    Let me know if you test too !

    @DownPW did you delete the icon ? I’m wondering if this creates an orphaned reference to an icon which of course can’t be read.

  • yes off course I delete it
    because if Idon’t delete the icon, she appears on bubble 🙂

    Open issue here:

    https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/10896

    If I not delete icon, she’s appear but not the image :

  • The issue is closed @phenomlab

    It’s a nodebb bug. Fixed in 2.5.3 milestone 😉

    @DownPW Yes, I saw that. Caused by regression from what I see.

    Thanks

    JS code seems not working but…

    I see on ACP, the image of category is uploaded to imgur :

    7ca2e670-4928-43d9-b1fd-530fae97c72a-image.png

    and I see this on dev console :

    b2321b44-7a73-4510-97b2-57fa73a096c9-image.png

    The url seems to not be encoded correctly, I don’t know why ???

    If I change manually the URL in the dev console, it’s OK:

    Sorry, that should have been something like this (obviously modify the source and replacement)

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            $(".row").find($(".fa")).removeClass('fa-fw fa-comments-o').addClass('fa-check-to-slot');
        });
    });
    
  • hi @phenomlab

    on v2.x , I have user online widget in my home page and I can center the widget like this :

    4df43aa7-122e-4696-b8e0-72fa48280350-image.png

    c6409e47-96b9-473b-8fe0-28ec73b050fa-image.png

    because we have a div by default on the widget

    I can’t do the same on v3.x

    Any idea how to get the same result ?

    Thanks Dude

    @DownPW I’d give the widget itself an id and then add custom css to that

    653aad37-edd8-4dee-a212-74a9249ea722-image.png

    div#onlineusers {
        left: 0;
        right: 0;
        margin: 0 auto;
        position: relative;
    }

  • @phenomlab

    Yep, it’s a good idea thanks to you but I’d like to display it without div card-header and body like the first screen

  • @phenomlab

    Yep, it’s a good idea thanks to you but I’d like to display it without div card-header and body like the first screen

    @DownPW In that case, change the container code to

    9a2d4511-bf9b-42d0-8021-b6d47ec4ae1c-image.png

    <div id="onlineusers">{{body}}</div>
    

    And same CSS class

    div#onlineusers {
        justify-content: center;
        display: flex;
    }
    

    Then add padding and margin to suit

  • Perfect my friend 😉

  • Hello mark 🙂

    I wanted for test purposes, to put the welcome message in the Brand menu in the header widget.

    I commented in the footer widget the corresponding code then I added it in my brand header widget:

    <span id="thisuser" class="getUsername">, &nbsp;<a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span>
    

    I commented out the old CSS to add the new:

    /* Welcome Message Username on Header */
    span#thisuser {
         margin-top: 0.7rem;
         margin-left: 2px;
         margin-right:-2px;
         font-size: .875rem;
         line-height: 1.4rem;
         font-weight: 500;
    }
    

    So far everything is fine, the result is correct :

    4c4eedf9-e511-4e3c-acb8-0049035729a6-image.png

    But as soon as I select links in the left sidebar (home, recent, etc …), the message is added and displayed as many times as I select a link .

    Did I miss something or do you have an idea to solve this bug?

    @DownPW sorry for the delay. That is being caused by ajax which is adding another element each time data is being called. I’d need to see the entire code block where you are adding this to confirm, but from the video you provided, that’s typically caused by the above.

    You only need that specific function to run once at page load - it’s running each time data is being requested which explains the additions.

  • it’s just the brand HTML header widget, just add this code to him

    <span id="thisuser" class="getUsername">,  <a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span>]
    

    What do you want ? The HTML header widget on welcome message JS code ?

    EDIT : All code in PM

    @DownPW thanks. Can you try a theory for me and change that code so it looks like the below

    <span id="thisuserbrand" class="getUsername">,  <a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span>
    

    I expect this to return nothing, which will prove my theory around the Ajax calls.

  • Nope @phenomlab

    Same things, same problem

    @cagatay The most reliable way to upgrade Node.js on Ubuntu depends on how you originally installed it. Method 1: Using NVM (Recommended) If you already use Node Version Manager (NVM), upgrading is simple. NVM allows you to keep both versions and switch between them if needed. Install Node 22: nvm install 22 Switch to Node 22: nvm use 22 Set it as your default: nvm alias default 22 Verify the change: node -v Method 2: Using NodeSource (PPA) If you installed Node.js via apt using the NodeSource repository, you need to update the repository script to point to the new version. Remove the old NodeSource list (optional but cleaner): sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list Download and run the NodeSource setup script for Node 22: curl -fsSL [https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x](https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x) | sudo -E bash - Install/Upgrade Node.js: sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Verify the installation: node -v Method 3: Using the ‘n’ Package If you have npm installed, you can use the n interactive manager. Clear the npm cache: sudo npm cache clean -f Install the ‘n’ helper: sudo npm install -g n Install Node 22: sudo n 22 Update your shell: hash -r Troubleshooting Permission Denied: If you see permission errors using Method 2 or 3, ensure you are using sudo. Path Issues: If node -v still shows version 20 after upgrading via NVM, restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc. Conflicts: Avoid mixing these methods. If you switch from apt to nvm, it is best to sudo apt remove nodejs first to avoid path conflicts.

    @Roki-Antic Welcome! This site isn’t running Persona, but Harmony - a very heavily customised version at that. Do you have a URL where your site is currently located that is publicly accessible? Feel free to PM this info if you do not want to disclose here. Happy to help with any customisation needs.

    @Panda because there is no match for the DNS entry specified. The receiving web server parses the headers looking for a destination hostname to match, and anything the web server is unable to resolve will be sent back to the root.

    @Panda said in Upgrade to NodeBB v3? 2BB or not 2BB, that is the question!: So although thats a plugin it has Widget like element and stopped working on the Theme change Which is normal based on the widgets being reset when you change themes.

    @eeeee said in restarting nodebb on boot: can I just run nodebb under nodemon for auto restarts? It’s a better method. Nodemon just looks for file system changes and would effectively die if the server was rebooted meaning you’d have to start it again anyway. Systemd is the defacto standard which is how the operating system interacts in terms of services, scheduled tasks etc.

    @phenomlab That will be nice once they have completed that. It will be interesting to see how long that takes. So for now I will use custom css to make it look the way I want. Frameworks just make things a little faster. Thanks @phenomlab

    @riekmedia I’ve applied some new CSS to your site. Can you reload the page and try again ? For the record, this is what I added #footer { background: #2d343e; border-top: 4px solid #2d343e; font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 70px; padding: 80px 0 0; position: relative; clear: both; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 1000; margin-left: -15px; margin-right: -338px; } The /categories page seems a bit messed up, so looking at that currently EDIT - issued some override CSS in the CATEGORIES widget <!--- CSS fix for overspill on /categories page - DO NOT DELETE --> <style> #footer { margin-right: -45px; } </style> That should resolve the /categories issue.
