Issues with v3 alpha and Harmony

[DownPW]

@cagatay

the theme is sudonix.dev is Harmony and is on alpha by nodebb dev and come with nodebb v3 in the future

Don’t install on production site

[cagatay]

@DownPW installed already but can not downgrade also

@cagatay the harmony theme is designed to only work with v3.beta1 which as the name indicates, isn’t production ready and should not be used in a production environment. This is why it is not present here, but only on the Dev instance of sudonix.

Currently, the theme is still very unstable, and only creating Swatch templates for it which I fully expect to break again once the theme is updated - currently, there are two to three updates per day that vary in size and complexity.

In addition, the v3 instance of NodeBB uses bootstrap v5, which is completely different in structure to v2 NodeBB which uses bootstrap v3. In addition, BS5 comes with several other changes in the form of LESS and SCSS over standard CSS meaning most of the theming now needs to use LESS variables which can in turn be reused across the site.

In summary, this will mean that v3 of NodeBB will not be able to use most of the CSS you have defined, and will no doubt make the site look awful as a result. It’s not ready for production - the first iteration I would expect around March or April time.

@cagatay you should be able to downgrade if you stop your NodeBB instance, run the following commands

git fetch    # Grab the latest code from the NodeBB repository
git checkout v2.x    # Switch to the v2.x branch since we are now upgrading to NodeBB version 2
git reset --hard origin/v2.x

Then finally run

./nodebb upgrade

And then restart NodeBB. That should return you to the v2 train.

@phenomlab said in NodeBB v3 and Harmony Theme:

Grab the latest code from the NodeBB repository

@cagatay that’s telling you that the persona theme is missing. Change the theme back to persona and then retry the upgrade.

[cagatay]

@phenomlab recent cards not working normally.
downgrade is done! thank you.
i thin the problem is the avatar size.

[phenomlab]

@cagatay remove the recent cards plugin and reinstall it.

[cagatay]

@phenomlab same result.
i had deleted and reinstalled recent card but nothing chaged.
by the way without recent card my current page on topic as below;

the avatar size is very big.

[phenomlab]

@cagatay Did you rebuild and restart after the removal before you re-installed ?

[cagatay]

@phenomlab of course Mark i done.
this is who is reading post type;

[phenomlab]

@cagatay Are you sure that’s not nodebb-plugin-browsing-users in the screenshot ?

[cagatay]

@phenomlab i had same problem recent card and browsing user…

[phenomlab]

@cagatay I’m logged into your site now. Taking a look

[cagatay]

@phenomlab thank you Mark.

[phenomlab]

@cagatay I see the issue.

I’ve removed

nodebb-plugin-browsing-users
nodebb-plugin-recent-cards

You need to use the CLI to install the correct versions as below, which I’m doing now

npm install nodebb-plugin-browsing-users@2.0.4
npm install nodebb-plugin-recent-cards@2.0.23

The versions you are using now are not compliant with v2 which is why they do not work properly.

[phenomlab]

@cagatay Should be all sorted now
Don’t forget to put your language back to Turkish.
