NodeBB 3.0 alpha1 : Error on install

Solved Configure
  • Hello @phenomlab

    I want to test alpha1 for V3 for test JS, theme switcher, css themes, etc.

    I have upgraded my dev environnement to 2.8.1
    I follow this link : https://community.nodebb.org/post/89581

    So, hop !

    cd /path/to/your/nodebb
    git rev-parse HEAD  # save this value in case you need to roll back  --- 727f879e5b1698fcf9bdbaca5181b28d0e9497fd
    git fetch && git checkout bootstrap5
    git reset --hard v3.0.0-alpha.1
    ./nodebb upgrade -mi
    

    But 😞

    nodebb@node:~$ cd /home/nodebb/nodebb/
    nodebb@node:~/nodebb$ git rev-parse HEAD
    727f879e5b1698fcf9bdbaca5181b28d0e9497fd

    An idea ?

  • @DownPW you should remove the plugins quoted in that list - for example

    nodebb-plugin-emoji@4.0.6
    

    Then try the upgrade process again.

  • @phenomlab

    npm remove nodebb-plugin
    

    ?

  • @phenomlab

    test with npm remove nodebb-plugin-emoji@4.0.6

  • @DownPW yes, exactly. You can then install the updated (and compliant) v3 versions after the upgrade process completed successfully.

  • @DownPW looks like a permissions issue?

  • @phenomlab I’m on root maybe that

    EDit: nope idem on non root user

  • @DownPW can you try with just

    npm remove nodebb-plugin-emoj
    
  • @phenomlab said in NodeBB 3.0 alpha1 : Error on install:

    npm remove nodebb-plugin-emoj

    nope

  • @DownPW can you provide an output of the currently installed plugins before upgrade?

  • @phenomlab https://community.nodebb.org/topic/16721/nodebb-v3-0-0-alpha-1-an-alpha-release/29

    maybe a problem with depot permissions.
    I wait a answer by Pitag or other nodebb staff

  • @DownPW yes, I saw that this morning. You could still try and remove those plugins which aren’t compliant though.

  • @phenomlab

    Hourra I’m on V3 🙂

    here the solution for installation :

    cd /path/to/your/nodebb
    git rev-parse HEAD  # save this value in case you need to roll back  --- 727f879e5b1698fcf9bdbaca5181b28d0e9497fd
    git fetch && git checkout bootstrap5
    git reset --hard v3.0.0-alpha.3
    npm config set legacy-peer-deps true
    ./nodebb upgrade -mi
    ./nodebb build
    ./nodebb start
    

    A lot of things doesn’t work with new Personna Bootstrap 5 like theme Switcher selector for example

    –> Could I count on you to help me evolve the things we created together for Persona5 or Harmony? Like footerbar, theme Switcher selector, welcome message with image change ?

    –> Other things, Harmony theme not include on alpha ?

  • @DownPW said in NodeBB 3.0 alpha1 : Error on install:

    A lot of things doesn’t work with new Personna Bootstrap 5 like theme Switcher selector for example

    It does work, but needs minor tweaks as the existing listener doesn’t work under bootstrap 5 as it did under bootstrap 3. Nothing major to fix.

    Of course you can count on me. I’ll be in the same journey 🙂

    Harmony isn’t available yet from what I’ve read - not until beta releases I think.

    ✈

    haha that doesn’t surprise me. Thank you again for that my friend 👍 ♥

    I still hesitate between staying under Persona 5 or Harmony.

    I will decide when I can test it

  • DownPWundefined DownPW has marked this topic as solved on
  • @DownPW I’m going to test harmony. I quite like the look. However, I did start a topic to discuss this. Would appreciate input

    https://sudonix.com/topic/397/nodebb-v3-and-harmony-theme

  • @DownPW very odd. I don’t recall setting permissions there but try now.


Did this solution help you?
Did you find the suggested solution useful? Why not buy me a coffee? It's a nice gesture, and a great way to show your appreciation 💗

    @Panda It’s the best it’s ever been to be honest. I’ve used a myriad of systems in the past - most notably, WordPress, and then Flarum (which for SEO, was absolutely dire - they never even had SEO out of the box, and relied on a third party extension to do it), and NodeBB easily fares the best - see below example

    https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asudonix.org&oq=site%3Asudonix.org&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j69i58j69i60l2.9039j0j3&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#ip=1

    However, this was not without significant effort on my part once I’d migrated from COM to ORG - see below posts

    https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17286/google-crawl-error-after-site-migration/17?_=1688461250365

    And also

    https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/221027803?hl=en&msgid=221464164

    It was painful to say the least - as it turns out, there was an issue in NodeBB core that prevented spiders from getting to content, which as far as I understand, is now fixed. SEO in itself is a dark art - a black box that nobody really fully understands, and it’s essentially going to boil down to one thing - “content”.

    Google’s algorithm for indexing has also changed dramatically over the years. They only now crawl content that has value, so if it believes that your site has nothing to offer, it will simply skip it.

    @Panda You should be able to expose the CSS for these using F12 to get into console

    a2b8ed46-4157-4ff2-85f0-576543380107-image.png

    That should then expose the element once selected

    Here’s the below CSS you need based on the screenshot provided.

    .composer .formatting-bar .formatting-group li[data-format="picture-o"], .composer .formatting-bar .formatting-group li[data-format="spoiler"] { display: none; }

    @Panda said in Email validation NodeBB:

    Did you configure that as a custom change to the usual quote icon. How do you do that?
    I notice on NodeBB site its a solid blue quotes

    Yes, I changed it. NodeBB by default users the free font awesome library whereas I use the pro (paid) version SDK have access to a wider set of icons, and at different thicknesses etc. The change of colour is just simple CSS.

    @eeeee if you’re using the console, you could try

    node app.js > app.log 2>&1

    This would redirect stdout to a file named app.log and redirect stderr to stdout.

    I’m not sure about standard logging under NodeBB, but there is an error log located at logs/error.log.

    Failing that, you could always stop the NodeBB service then use ./nodebb dev from the console which would then provide debug output.

    @phenomlab I am on a Mac, so I used the “Option + Command + I”, and then performed the steps. It loaded my favicon! I checked on Firefox which I haven’t used before, and it showed my favicon also! That’s fantastic and thank you for the help!

    @downpw I’m inclined to agree with this. There isn’t much else you can do, and provided it works with no odd looking artefacts in other browsers, then ok. The :before and :after are pseudo classes and very well supported across all browsers (except perhaps Internet Exploder, but who uses that these days ?)
