NodeBB: Favicon upload issue

Solved Configure

    @mventures This issue is a common one, and likely because nginx is caching the values it already has. The fastest wat to fix this would be to

    1. Gain access via SSH to your server
    2. Login
    3. Issue command sudo service nginx restart and press enter

    This will cause nginx to restart, and should also empty the cache. Then see if this resolves the issue.

    @phenomlab Would this route work as it seems simpler: Go to ACP > Advanced > Cache?

    @mventures No. The nginx server it the web server itself. The ACP is the NodeBB application - they are completely seperated.

    @phenomlab Oh my! Sounds scary again. I read this old post about SSH, and I am not so sure if I want to take any risks 😞

    I am back - I read the SSH documentation and looks like a “no, can’t do” for me, unless I get handheld training followed by a bit of practice, I don’t think I can do it. Unfortunately/fortunately, I will need to trouble you again for this cache clearance. (FYI - I have a list of coffees owed, and this one is in it)

    @mventures Having taken a look at this, the favicon.ico file is required in two places to work - one is in /public/uploads/system and the other is in public at the root level - see below

    I’ve tested this against a favicon checker, and it now works - I used the one you uploaded for the touchicon to generate it.

    Hey @phenomlab, Thanks for looking into this! Did you make the change?
    Because I can still see the BB logo as the favicon on the desktop (safari, chrome) and the mobile.
    But on an iPad, I can see my favicon.

    I have the same problem. I never managed to solve it.

    There is always a moment when I see that of NodeBB when I have nowhere on the server (nginx cache dump, cloudflare, nodebb, etc…)

    @DownPW Yes, it can be sporadic, but in the case of @mventures it should be resolved.

    For example, viewing the site in incognito mode

    ce68b924-52ac-4eef-936e-c452037dde20-image.png

    And also checking with several favicon testers

    130425c8-97a2-4c6b-8127-6f5940e42afe-image.png

    @mventures can you try with a browser you’ve never used before, or perhaps an incognito tab? If that doesn’t work, also try the below

    1. Open Google Chrome
    2. Navigate to the website
    3. Open the developer tools (press F12)
    4. Click and hold the browser reload button so that the advanced options appear

    7c8a2857-78b8-4b41-931f-141bd8da8acb-image.png

    1. Select the option to “Empty cache and hard reload”

    @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!

    @Panda said in Sidebar Widget is no longer on the side!: Ah, so sidebar wont work on mobile? Correct. If you review the docs on bootstrap, you’ll notice that it is designed on a grid system https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/layout/grid/ What I mean by changing the category is moving it on here to general as you posted it in bugs, when it isn’t.

    @DownPW sure. Let me have a look at this in more detail. I know nginx plus has extensive support for this, but it’s not impossible to get somewhere near acceptable with the standard version. You might be better off handling this at the Cloudflare level given that it sits in between the requesting client and your server.

    @marusaky based on the work completed thus far (in relation to PM exchanges), I’m going to mark this completed. Sending email from the server itself works fine without issue, and DNS appears to be clean (valid SPF, DMARC, and DKIM records). It appears that only Gmail marks incoming messages from your domain as spam - perhaps because of the domain age, which there is nothing we can do to prevent this. Mail delivery to all other domains appears to work fine in al of my tests.

    @phenomlab said in nodebb dropdown menu: @kurulumu-net You set it like the below example taken from this site [image: 1637939951821-aae36790-3257-4bb2-ad5a-0d744309876a-image.png] Which presents this [image: 1637939983445-77f47260-2941-4afe-9614-8e17dcfc8c19-image.png] Very interesting… I actually thought this wasn’t possible, as I remember it being asked in the NodeBB forum. Is this something new that’s been implemented? I’ll 100% be doing that when I’m on the laptop over the weekend.
