Gamification reflar issue with locale

Totte

Kyrne Indeed, I've been a member for 3 days or so..he seems like a wizard at this. Hopefully he knows what's up. This extension looks awesome!

Kyrne

Totte Hopefully everything gets resolved. If you need any help with other things feel free to contact me on Gitter.

Totte Something that has been recommended many times is that, when you are customizing/modifying/adding things to your Flarum, disable CloudFlare protection. Once you are done, reenable it. That way you'll avoid a lot of headaches.

Try the following steps:

Disable CloudFlare.
Disable the extension.
Run php flarum cache:clear
Re-enable the extension.
Make sure you have cleared your browser's cache before checking if the issue is still there.

Note: Unlogging and relogging again from your Flarum will help to clear any cache remaining anywhere.

Hope this works!

Totte

AngelAvila That worked for like a split second. Then it went back to giving me this "error".
Where's the language file for the extension stored?

What I find to very odd is that whenever I turn on debugging, this happens to all plugins and to fix that I turn off debugging remove rev-manifet.json and then clear the cache. This fixes it for all plugins except for this one. :/

Totte try deleting the file that says admin-en and then a random set of characters

Totte

Kyrne I've tried deleting all admin-* files along with all forum-* files

Totte try deleting rev-manifest.json, also CloudFlare seems to be a big .. in the .. for Flarum.

The process I recommend:

delete assets/*.js (*.css when having layout issues, should only happen during development)
delete assets/rev-manifest.json
run php flarum cache:clear
clear your browser cache or run hard refresh - I have the developer console open in chrome with "disable cache when console is open" which works miracles

Stuff above duplicates each other.

Totte

luceos Unfortunately no success there either. Disable the extension and wait for a Flarum update than solves this starts to sound tempting. ?

luceos

Split out of the reflar ext thread. Disregard this message.

luceos

Totte locale issues is not extension, but Flarum related. If you run into it now, most likely you run into it in the future with any other extension as well. ?

Did you try a incognito window?

Totte

luceos Yeah, but it's only this extension that's does not work properly for me, therefor I can just disable it until it's been fixed within Flarum, or..? ?

AngelAvila

Totte I believe something is wrong with your Flarum specifically. I am currently using Gamification on my production Forum and I don't have any kind of related issue.

Have you run composer update to get the latest version of Gamification?

Totte

AngelAvila Probably something with Cloudflare as it worked properly for a few seconds when I turned it off. Then is bugged out again.

Kyrne

Totte Try this:

In your cloudflare go to "Caching" settings at the top
In caching level, set it to "No Query String"
Just above that setting there should be a "Purge Cache" option
Click "Purge Individual Files"
Input your forum's url
Run php flarum cache:clear

Let me know if that works.

Edit: why does autocorrect change "to" to "do?"

Totte

Kyrne I'll try that later if I run into the problem ? I've started a re-install project now xD

Totte

Kyrne No difference with that CF change. Fresh install now, this is the only extension except for default ones o.O

Edit, and now it's working out of nowhere after I setup tags.. I'm so confused, but it'll probably stop working in a sec again.
Edit 2: It broke.

As a reference there are a few posts of experienced people sharing their tricks to have a functional Flarum forum with CloudFlare protection activated

In my personal case, I use CloudFlare too and I used to experience the same issues you have now. The easiest solution for me was just disabling CF protection.

You might like to read these out for further reference on how to work with it enabled:

https://discuss.flarum.org/d/1234-review-flarum-on-aws-cloudflare-updated-oct-23-2015

At this moment it's 100% sure that is because of the CloudFlare caching system.

Totte

AngelAvila When you say disable, do you mean just gray-out the cloud?

AngelAvila

Totte Yes, precisely that's what fixed all my issues.

Totte

AngelAvila Yep, it's a CF problem for sure. Works when I turn it off, though my SSL does not want to work properly when I turn it off and it's giving me "page unsecure" warning instead.
