A Few Problems After Migration

scitommy

Hi,

I just moved to flarum from another forum and love it. The migration went well and I know that Flarum is currently beta, but I'm noticing a few quirks.

1. When I sticky any post, the text from the 1st post every made (Post Id 1) is always the excerpt text for any and all stickied posts.

2. When I bookmark or copy/paste a post url and/or access a post "from outside the forum", the left back button goes to the forum home page. What's more, when I hover or inspect the back button before I press, it shows my home page url (/) and not forum home url (/forum), but still goes to forum home (I guess a redirection).

The above also happens on "Tags as forum home page" as well.

3. The "Tags as forum home page" option also has a back button in all (category/tag) pages that goes back to the forum home page (tags page in this instance).

The same thing happens as in #2 as well here (access the category pages from an outside url source).

Just a few things I've noticed that I'm trying to get fixed.

Thanks,

Thomas

Just to clarify, only posts that were migrated have the "sticky" problem, not new posts after the migration.

I just noticed another thing. Posts that are stickied after the migration, only show on "All Discussions" page when logged out and not logged in.

Stickied posts don't stay on top when logged in, only when logged out.

Stickied posts are always only global. And they move into the normal list (non stickied) once read. In case a new reply is given it is once again stickied. This is normal behavior for Flarum.

luceos Thanks for clarification.

Concerning your url issues, did you check the url setting in your config.php file is set to your new forum ?

Also, did you try clearing the Flarum cache and your own browser cache ? From what I know Flarum doesn't cache any url so it looks like a client side caching issue.
