Dependency on installation issue

OlafHimmelberg

luceos Those missing keys can be fixed by flushing the cache, either from the admin area or by running php flarum cache:clear. I bet that also solves your admin area issue.

Thanks, I had already done that after the update, it's also in the manual.
So php flarum cache:clear performed again and there is no change, the buttons are still missing.

Unfortunately I can't tell exactly what button I had disabled before the switches disappeared, but it was definitely in the row after Suspend!

After the deactivation were immediately all buttons gone....

OlafHimmelberg have you tried using the extiverse helper, because that one will set the extensions to the right constraint and tell you which extensions are no longer available:

see https://discuss.flarum.org/d/25246-extiverse-helper

OlafHimmelberg

luceos Sorry... i don't understand!
The link Does not help me with my problem, I have, I think, wrong Ausgedrückt.
My problem existed before the update, it was only the preparation for the update that caused the problem.
I have, because I assumed that the error is very easy (by activating the extension in the console) to fix I have nevertheless carried out the update.

Let's just pretend now that I have not updated the forum, with which command can I activate the buttons again, if the problem is solved, we can gladly take care of the update. Thanks

luceos Have a look at the forum https://www.technik22.de/flarum/public/ here you can see what I mean already on the start page, "core.forum.index.all_disc..." should be a button.
And I already messed up that way before the update....

luceos

Looks like you disabled a language pack. The extiverse helper can manually enable that without Flarum interaction.
Set all extensions constraints in your composer.json to *, so where it reads "fof/reactions": "^0.4.5" or similar, set ^0.4.5 to *. No need to do that for any entry related to flarum/*. Then run composer update --prefer-dist --no-dev -a.
Run php flarum cache:clear so that all caches of your view are removed.
Run php flarum migrate to apply any changes to the database.

If you run into any errors while executing these commands, stop and report back with the output.

OlafHimmelberg

luceos Okay... I have found the line only the "*" I do not quite understand.... Should I comment out the line?
If so then with "#" or do you mean something else?

OlafHimmelberg

luceos Oh.... now I know how "*", and that with all extensions?
Right?

luceos

OlafHimmelberg yes

OlafHimmelberg

luceos Well the only message I received was "Package s9e/flarum-ext-mediaembed is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use fof/formatting instead."

But my problem still exists.... :-(

Edit:
On my pad you can see the following message
https://www.bilderhoster.org/image/HRw0e

I'm trying to figure out what that button was that I disabled, that might help.

Could it be that in Flarum no language is active anymore?
I had not only the German language package deactivated but also the English, I think that's where the error lies.

Yes, you need at least one language pack installed and it's wise not to remove or disable the English language pack as a fall back. It's better to have an English description than cryptic strings like core.forum.header.sign_up_link. If you still see these cryptic strings you probably just need another php flarum cache:clear.

OlafHimmelberg

Pollux Sorry.... I have to smile a little bit, the code line "php flarum cache:clear" I have used 100 times, the message is always "Clearing the cache....".

How can clearing the cache re-enable the language?...
Shouldn't there be a start code for the extension in question?

But to answer you, the input brought no change, still no buttons :-(

Pollux

OlafHimmelberg How can clearing the cache re-enable the language?...

Of course it can't. But once you have activated at least one language pack, it can force a recalculation of the cache as I said:

Pollux If you still see these cryptic strings [...]

To activate a language pack after it has been installed (or if it has not been removed after a previous installation), look at luceos suggestion via the database (phpMyAdmin or Adminer). Or you try to navigate through your admin interface (likely https://www.technik22.de/flarum/public/admin) by guessing the meaning of the cryptic descriptions you see at the moment. It should be easy to find the language extension you are looking for, and then there are not so many options for interaction.

luceos

Hi Olaf.

Looks like this is becoming quite the hassle.

The extiverse helper can possibly help you toggle the language on again:

php extiverse ext:toggle flarum/lang-english

Alternatively you can go into your database directly to the settings table with key extensions_enabled update the value of that entry by adding "flarum-english" somewhere inside -- the helper obviously is easier 😉

OlafHimmelberg

luceos Okay... now it gets complicated ;-)
"php extiverse ext:toggle flarum/lang-english" gives the following message "Could not open input file: extiverse".

And I have to look at the database to understand it :-)

luceos

OlafHimmelberg you need to have the extiverse binary download; follow the download instructions in the discussion: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/25246-extiverse-helper

luceos

OlafHimmelberg I'm sorry looks like those download instructions were outdated and I forgot to add the binary to the latest 0.1 release. Please do check now 😉

OlafHimmelberg

luceos ..... Puh..... if this was in German then I would understand it in a few hours, but in English with the translator it takes much longer (if I can manage it at all).
Will probably only be able to report tomorrow :-(

Pollux My admin page is white, see picture.
https://www.bilderhoster.org/image/HRG5B

Oh if I clicked there wildly with the mouse nothing happens :-)
in the DB I find under the settings nothing that indicates the language, so I can not change or adjust anything.

Even write something to it does not work because I do not know how and what.

Pollux

OlafHimmelberg in the DB I find under the settings nothing that indicates the language, so I can not change or adjust anything.

In the settings table there is a key named extensions_enabled, its content looks like:

["flarum-emoji","flarum-likes","flarum-lock","flarum-markdown","flarum-mentions",...]

Here you should add the language pack you wish to enable / activate. As you can see, the order doesn't matter, so you can put it at the beginning like:

["flarum-lang-english","kakifrucht-flarum-de",...]

I'm not 100% sure of the naming of @Kakifrucht's extension, but English at least should be OK.

Pollux

By the way...

OlafHimmelberg My admin page is white, see picture.

This looks like more things might be broken with your installation, not just the langage pack.

But try my phpMyAdmin approach first.
