nodebb-plugin-customize error

[RiekMedia]

hello everyone, i have a problem with the nodebb-plugin-customize. When I edit a template, I get the error message when I save it

ERROR
request entity too large

[phenomlab]

@riekmedia First things first

You may notice that in the profile page, you cannot click the dropdown menu (the button with the three dots)

Clicking this button does nothing because the element sits behind the image meaning it is no longer clickable. The below CSS will fix that

.btn-group.account-fab {
    z-index: 1000;
}

For the Groups issue, try this. Note that the background-image section of this will remove the actual image added by NodeBB, but will leave yours intact.

@media (min-width: 992px) {
.groups.details [component="groups/cover"] {
    background-size: auto;
    background-image: none !important;
}
}
[component="groups/container"] {
    margin-top: 0px !important;
}

@riekmedia You probably need to adjust the client_max_body_size directive in nginx.conf to be larger that what is already defined

I’m making some assumptions here dependant on the version of Linux you are running (basing on Ubuntu), but this should help

1. Edit the nginx.conf file as below
   sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
2. Locate the value client_max_body_size 2M; (note that it may be missing, or set higher than this value)
3. Increase the value dependant on needs - for example, 20M
4. Save the nginx.conf file
5. Restart NGINX using service nginx reload or if using systemd, sudo systemctl reload nginx.service

@riekmedia Ok. I’d expect a different looking nginx.conf log rather than just the default. Are there any others ? For example, a file that contains items that look like the below

    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
    proxy_redirect off;

    # Socket.io Support
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    location @nodebb {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4567;
    }

[RiekMedia]

@phenomlab yes that would be the default.conf where the domains are stored

/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  community.riekmedia.dev;

    root   /var/www/community/NodeBB;
    index  index.php index.html index.htm;

   location / {
    if ($request_uri ~ ^/(.*)\.html$) {
        return 302 /$1;
        }
    }

    error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root   /var/www;
    }
        location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include        fastcgi_params;
	
    }

}

@riekmedia Ok, but there should be one at least for NodeBB to function properly

The Nginx configuration file can be in multiple locations and can also include several other config files.

To edit the nginx configuration file, first try here.

sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

nginx.conf may also include some other config files, for example:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

The config files may also be in the below locations (where example.com is your own domain)

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com

If you can’t find Nginx config in the above location, try one of these:

sudo nano /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

If you still can’t find it, try locate.

locate nginx.conf

To save file and exit in nano, press CTRL + X, press Y and then press ENTER)

To check that the Nginx config file is valid after saving.

sudo nginx -t

If valid, reload Nginx service.

sudo service nginx reload

[RiekMedia]

@phenomlab none of that exists with me, only the 2 files. For me everything is just a minimal installation. nginx and php8 no more.

Would you like to take a look at the server yourself?

[phenomlab]

@riekmedia Yes. Let me have a look

[RiekMedia]

@phenomlab okay, i send PM

[phenomlab]

@riekmedia Thanks

[phenomlab]

@riekmedia Looking at this further, I’m wondering if this setting in NodeBB has any relevance. It was set to 2Mb (2048Kb), so I’ve changed it to 32Mb (32768kb)

Setting has been saved. Can you see if this fixes it ?

[RiekMedia]

@phenomlab no the problem is still there

[phenomlab]

@riekmedia I’ve just managed to edit a template on your site (404.tpl), saved, and re-built assets with no issues ? What are you uploading into the file ?

[RiekMedia]

@phenomlab I’m trying to edit group / details. Just change a ccs command style there.

But even if you don’t change anything there and simply click on save, the error occurs

[phenomlab]

@riekmedia said in nodebb-plugin-customize error:

I’m trying to edit group / details. Just change a ccs command style there.

Can you let me know which template you’re seeing this on ?

[RiekMedia]

@phenomlab

[phenomlab]

@riekmedia I see what you mean - it only seems to be the one template though. I’m not surprised as this file is huge but I can’t see anywhere the setting can be adjusted unless it’s in the plugin itself.

[RiekMedia]

@phenomlab I can’t tell you that I know the plugin so far only since yesterday through you
