News Update on NodeBB Forums Status

[BaeFell]

Hi everyone,

It appears that NodeBB does not want to start. I've tried messing around with the code causing the error, but nothing seems to work. If I try to repair NodeBB, then it fails because of the same error. Here's the error for those interested:

- info: initializing NodeBB ...
- error:  Error: [[error:theme-not-found]]

Any answers on fixing it are appreciated. However, please don't just Google it unless you know what you're doing or some basic idea of NodeBB. I've taken a look myself, been through the NodeBB Community Forums too, and nothing works.

I will be trying to get a Redis database viewer installed and use that to export the data. I'll then make up a quick site for viewing the old forum stuff. Some things might not work, but who know's what will happen! I have no idea how NodeBB saves stuff, so should be fun.

Thanks,
BaeFell

Seems like it can't find a theme, nfell. Did you forget to install it.

Oh, I had this error once before.

@Gatt is correct, NodeBB is failing because it's unable to load the theme (it's not installed). Just add it manually to the node_modules/ directory and restart the forum.

Tried it. Tried overriding the default theme and repairing via commands, but NodeBB cannot pickup the theme. The folder exists. Whether it be the skUnity theme or the default one.

This is still happening, right?

Don't pull a DevBukkit on us.
