FBI can you tell me how did u make color changing button (Start a Discussion)? Thanks before hand

MoshBit

That's awesome, I'm really excited to see these new developments, and looking forward to the future of flarum.

Unexpectedly found the reply box in the mobile view has an offset, is this a style bug? Or is it intentionally designed to be like this?
(Sorry for the second post here)

Congrats for the 1.8 release. I have not installed it yet but as reported by Burial0268 here on Discuss I notice that when you scroll down to the bottom of any discussion, the reply rectangle is not centered but shifted left so much that its left side is offscreen. That’s on iPhone but j guess might apply also to any other mobile platform.

CSS bug I think.

.ReplyPlaceholder {
    margin: 20px auto;
}

thanks about the new version.
I want to know about this: is it possible to install without composer?

Subarist

Every time there's an upgrade, being in the Asian region, I have to change "e.format("D MMM")" to "e.format("ll")" to make the dates conform to our conventions.
Just curious, is there a way in Flarum to recognize "Do" so that it can display the day format used in non-English countries?

Subarist Just curious, is there a way in Flarum to recognize "Do" so that it can display the day format used in non-English countries?

Dayjs supports Do format, but it does not seem to be used by Chinese translations. Here is the source of translations used by Chinese (simplified) language pack: https://github.com/iamkun/dayjs/blob/dev/src/locale/zh-tw.js

Yep. However, when you modify it to "Do" in forum.js, FLARUM doesn't recognize it correctly. It interprets it as "D" followed by the letter "o."
Or are you saying that FLARUM doesn't recognize it because "Do" is not defined in zh-tw.js?

rob006

Subarist It looks like you need to explicitly enable advanced formatting in dayjs: https://github.com/iamkun/dayjs#plugin, and Flarum doesn't do this (since it never uses such formats). So it doesn't work by default, but you can easily enable this by creating a plugin with content of https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/dayjs@1/plugin/advancedFormat.js and followed by dayjs.extend(window.dayjs_plugin_advancedFormat);.

Away visiting family this week. Can't wait to upgrade when I get home!

If my php is 7.4, will I be able to upgrade to v 1.8?

I see that on composer.json, it says:

'''
"require": {
"php": ">=7.3",
'''

However, when I upgrade to v 1.8, it says,

'''
Problem 2
- symfony/css-selector[v6.0.0, ..., v6.0.19] require php >=8.0.2 -> your php version (7.4.33) does not satisfy that requirement.
- symfony/css-selector[v6.1.0, ..., v6.2.7] require php >=8.1 -> your php version (7.4.33) does not satisfy that requirement.
'''

I don't know if symfony/css-selector is a must, or I need to disable some extension(s) to avoid this warning.

I have installed a lot of extensions on my site. Just wondering if anyone know this, then I won't need to turn off each extension to test it out.

ash3T PHP 7.4 is no more supported and can have security issue.
https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php

rob006

ash3T What is the result of composer why symfony/css-selector command?

ash3T

peopleinside Yes. But my host provider won't be able to upgrade PHP for me.

ash3T

rob006 Yes.

katosdev/signature 1.2   requires symfony/css-selector (^6.0.2)                               
tijsverkoyen/css-to-inline-styles 2.2.6 requires symfony/css-selector (^2.7  ||  ^ 3.0  ||  ^ 4.0  ||  ^ 5.0  ||  ^ 6.0 )

I guess this means katosdev/signature used symfony/css-selector then.

By the way, I also encounter these two error:

firstly, in the log

[2023-05-24 07:24:10] flarum.ERROR: TypeError: Nearata\EmbedVideo\Formatter\Render::__invoke(): Argument #4 ($request) must be of type Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface, null given, called in /mnt/BLOCKSTORAGE/home/899574.cloudwaysapps.com/qvgqduqjst/public_html/flarum/vendor/flarum/core/src/Foundation/ContainerUtil.php on line 30 and defined in /mnt/BLOCKSTORAGE/home/899574.cloudwaysapps.com/qvgqduqjst/public_html/flarum/vendor/nearata/flarum-ext-embed-video/src/Formatter/Render.php:13

secondly, also in the logs

flarum.WARNING: Cannot use file cache because storage/cache is not writable, this will affect the software.

I tried to change the file permission through FTP

public_html/flarum/storage/cache/92/89 /applications/qvgqduqjst/public_html/flarum/storage/cache/92/891: permission denied

Then I resolve this by deleting the folder and files in the cache folder.

thirdly, I cannot log in with the admin account when I installed flarum but can only use another account to log into the system before cleaning the cache.

fourthly, when I tried to removed Nearata\EmbedVideo

ash3T you have extensions installed that would only work on php 8.0. How curious, you must have used --ignore-platform-reqs with the composer install command. You can use that same flag with remove, so try that. Other than that, please upgrade php.

peopleinside

ash3T I don't wanna know with provider you are with in but:

if you have a normal hosting plan and not and unaanaged VPS or server that you should know how to manage (including upgrade PHP), your hosting must provide a supported PHP version.

PHP 7.4 has been deprecated as in the official PHP website you can see no more security update are anymore released.

I suggest to ask to your provider what you have to do to have PHP 8.1

itztxs

I am using freeflarum I don't have a custom vps how can I upgrade ?

peopleinside

itztxs on freeflarum you don't need to do anything for upgrade, It will be done automatically from the team.
