Urgent!!! Broke my forum, please help

CyberGene

I decided to upgrade my forum which I've been doing for two years on a regular basis, this is the easiest way to get latest versions of extensions. However it broke and is not working anymore. Here's the error:

[2023-10-14 08:15:06] flarum.ERROR: RuntimeException: Media site 'gfycat' does not exist in /home/customer/www/myforum.com/public_html/forum/vendor/s9e/text-formatter/src/Plugins/MediaEmbed/Configurator/Collections/SiteDefinitionCollection.php:34

Please, help, this is urgent, my forum is down and I don't have a backup. I executed a clean command but it doesn't help. @clarkwinkelmann

Wondering if it's the selective media embed somehow? Here's the complete stacktrace. Why is the selective-media-embed trying to invoke the text-formatter with the gfycat?

CyberGene try disabling Media Embed and look if that fixes the problem?

CyberGene

I found that the Siteground hosting actually makes daily backups and I restored my forum, so it works now.

Looking at the stacktrace above, I think it’s the selective-media-embed. If I’m not mistaken, on first installation it would fetch all the supported websites from the text-formatter and will then store which ones are enabled. If a new website appears in the text-firmatter list, it would be disabled by default, unless you enable it explicitly.

In my case, when I first installed it, I enabled all websites except for YouTube. This means that the selective media embed goes through the stored list and will tell the text formatter to enable each one, however some websites have been removed, such as e.g. gfycat and when the selective media embed tried to enable it, the text formatter throws an exception.

I believe two things need to be fixed in the selective media embed:

Reverse the logic and only store what websites are disabled.
When enabling websites, fetch the full-list and enable each one, except for the explicitly disabled ones (if you can find a match) and also do it in a try-catch just in case.

Also, it might be a good idea to provide a refresh/reset functionality in the selective media embed, so that the admin can configure everything from scratch instead of relying on a potentially outdated list of enabled/disabled websites.

CyberGene I'll check it out when I find some time. The additive selection was the easiest and quickest way to implement so I went that way. It was also made that way assuming the use case was to only enable a few and not most, and not wanting new ones auto-enabled.

CyberGene

clarkwinkelmann thanks. How about a try-catch which will remove a website when there’s an exception with it? Seems like it may be the easiest way to guard it against situations like this one. For the moment I will manually disable the offending site gfycat and then upgrade the forum.
