A force-refresh fixes everything, temporarily

newbi3

@peopleinside This is off-topic. but could you give me a hand with my vps installation? Got discord?

peopleinside

newbi3 I am not the better person to ask help on install Flarum 😃 i am pretty new and also i am trying to solve some issue with Beta ( caching, Super Sticky post, mail not translated in Italian ).

So maybe you can continue your help discussion here.

Victor12

OrdinaryJellyfish If this is what we're looking at, that's by default. I haven't modified anything in composer.json

OrdinaryJellyfish

Victor12 Well, since it seems a few people are experiencing the same issue, it's probably a bug. If one doesn't already exist, you'll want to open an issue, and then it'll be fixed with beta 8.1 if somebody else can confirm 😉

peopleinside

Victor12 I see many error in console on my install... (Developer browser console) Firefox.

Never know why and if is related to the issue i am having with cache but i see i am not the only one.

OrdinaryJellyfish So basically most of us can't use the forum, until they release a new update? I am experiencing the same issue.. everything completely changes on refresh, including avatars, badges, even some discussions. It all goes back and forth in time.

newbi3

peopleinside Just need a help to set up the vps (installing necessary extensions, etc). Are you running on Debian?

jordanjay29

newbi3 as you said, this is off topic. Please move to your existing discussion.

I did a fresh install of Flarum on my VPS and I dont see this cache problem now. (atleast for now)

peopleinside

I corrected my previous post from not ~~anymore valid informations~~ as the video where i showed the logout issue was caused by a line added in the .htaccess file for try to resolve other cache issue when post is deleted and page refreshed etc.

Still have the issue reported here sometimes you refresh the browser in a discussion than go on main page of the forum and see some content should be not be showed as is expired, old, no more existent. This post just to inform i solved the logout cache issue by removing the add on I try on .htaccess for made cache expire in 10 minutes.

See the new video of an edited post:

You can see the video directly here: https://streamable.com/aoc83

I tried to reproduce in Flarum but without success

As i am not the only one to have this issue i opened an Issue on GitHub and made the video above.

Toby

peopleinside Your browser is caching the HTML that boots up Flarum, including old post data. When you reload, the old data is immediately displayed on the page. Only when you navigate away and back again is new data requested from the API.

We need to make sure your server is giving the right instructions to the browser to NOT cache that HTML/data.

Can you please post the contents of your .htaccess file?

peopleinside

Toby thank you!

Theoretically this line should be telling the browser what we want. But apparently it's not working 🤔

If you open up the Developer Tools in Chrome, go to the Network tab, and reload the page, what do you see under "Headers" for the initial document request?

peopleinside

Toby umh i use Firefox usually but i can do this test with Chrome.
I do not find Headers where look?

I opened the Network tab and reloaded the page. This is what I see:

As you are here Toby look at email arrived about your message:

seems there are issue with code text in emails. Don't know if this is normal 🙂

Toby

peopleinside Sorry, forgot to say you need to click on the first row (the light blue one). Then you'll be able to see a Headers tab. Keep the Network tab open and go to the discussion where the problem is occurring, then reload. If it's reverted back to the old post data, then screenshot what's in the Headers tab, and that should give us some helpful information.

You can also do all of this in Firefox Developer Tools which are pretty similar. Up to you!

Reinstalled from scratch and still having the same issue. Guests can see pending posts, you are not redirected after starting a discussion + everything else I’ve mentioned above. I’m slowly starting to lose hope.

peopleinside

Victor12 Vik i think we just need to have a little bit of patience. I think the issue me and Toby are investigating can help also you 🙂

Victor12

peopleinside We have already launched the forum, since everything worked fine in Beta 7. I only updated to Beta 8 because of the links not opening in new tabs in the previous version. It’s just all these new paths and folders. I’m not a developer and following the update guide isn’t enough I guess.

peopleinside

Victor12 i am not a developer too. I consider this is an open source project and so support can take sometime. I believe if you need a "premium" support maybe you can find a more fast help.

I understand you, can be stressful know there are an issue on a forum where users are surfing and creating content. Every software sometime have issue especially when you are new and you are using a beta.

You can consider to Sticky a post that alert users you are working for fixing issues... consider this can take sometime... we are person as Toby are, this is not a professional service with a professional dedicated support.

Regarding me ( i am in a different situation that yours as the only user in my community is me) i will wait. You can decide to wait also or don't know 🙂 maybe there are some commercial help or will be. I am sure someone will help us soon.
