Notepad++ community on nodebb.org

[donho]

Since June 2015, Notepad++ community has used NodeBB , which is amazing app with modern design and intuitive & sober interface. However the application hasn’t been updated due to the the time lack of the administrator.
Thank NodeBB team , Notepad++ community is hosted by https://nodebb.org/ now to benefit from their expertise, and their (very) quality service.

The SSO has been configured for GitHub, Google, Twitter and Facebook, so you should be able to login without problem. Please let me know if you encounter any login problem.

Thank a lot Barış (@barisusakli-0 ) for his assistance to restore and reopen Notepad++ community on nodebb.org !

I see 7 new notifications (on the bell) but when clicking on it states no new notifications. I assume those could be notifications from recent posts which aren’t migrated yet!?

[donho]

@Ekopalypse I have no idea. Logically it’s not the “lost ones” for me. But I could be wrong.

At the end not that important :-D - did a mark all notification read - gone :-)
Thx

@donho ,

Thanks. The update/refresh is nice!

Per this other discussion, https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/18262/can-t-login-with-my-google-account/8 , it would be nice if the old main notepad-plus-plus.org made a redirect from notepad-plus-plus.org/community/... to community.notepad-plus-plus.org/..., so that all the old links in the forums to other posts (and any external websites that link to the old forums) will still properly land in the new forums. On my webserver, the syntax

Redirect /community https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org

does what I would expect. (Maybe RedirectPermanent instead… I’m not sure of all the implications of the difference in those two redirects.)

The little green Notepad++ logo appears to be missing in the upper left corner next to the word “Community”. I am using Firefox but also tested this in MS Edge.

@PeterJones

Done. It should work right now.
Thank you.

@donho,

It should work right now.

Hmm, I just tried to go to https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/16876/stuck-in-administrator-mode-how-to-get-out/ or to just the main https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/ and they give me error pages rather than re-directing.

Maybe redirects work differently on the notepad-plus-plug.org server than they do on mine.

It should work now. It’s more complicated than the code you provided:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^notepad-plus-plus.org [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.notepad-plus-plus.org$1 [L,R=301]
RedirectMatch 301 ^/community/(.*)$ http://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/$1

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/16876/stuck-in-administrator-mode-how-to-get-out/

successfully redirects (for me!) to:

https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/16876/stuck-in-administrator-mode-how-to-get-out

now! Nice!

Sorry, I probably had some of the Rewrite* stuff already defined elsewhere in my .htaccess, and didn’t realize it was required for making it work.

Thanks for the extra effort, and getting the redirect working!

[donho]

FYI: I removed the redirection for the reason that it causes the problem of download link.
I’ll test it and fix it and apply it ASAP.

He appears to have made a return appearance:

[donho]

I restored the redirection, please let me know if all work as expected.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
Redirect 301 /community https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org
RedirectMatch 301 ^/community/(.*)$ https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/$1

[PeterJones]

@donho

if all work as expected.

So far, so good. Following an old link into the old forum URL will redirect to the new; and I was able to follow the download links on the main site. So, at least for me, it’s working.

[cmeriaux]

It seems that the forum is very slow now, especially when fetching unread posts. Is it a bad feeling or a reality ?
Is it a configuration issue ? Is it a memory leak issue ?

Cheers

@cmeriaux

No, it’s not a bad feeling, I’m facing the same problem. For example, upvoting your post took 5 seconds until the upvote count has been incremented to 1.

@dinkumoil @cmeriaux
It depends. Sometimes it’s faster. But indeed, it’s very slow sometimes !
I hope it’s temporary. Please let me know if such situation lasts.
I will ask nodebb.org team for improving it.

24+ hours later, It’s still occurring. Sometimes, as @dinkumoil said in the other thread, the page auto-reloads while it’s having the issue. And, even worse for me, sometimes when it reloads, it switches to a different page, rather than the last one I was on! (In fact, while writing this post, behind the editing window, it switched from the topic I was responding to back to the unread posts page that I had come from.

edit fortunately, when I hit submit, it posted to the right topic. I wasn’t sure if it would or not.

[PeterJones]

I’m not ready to say it’s solved, but this morning, I haven’t noticed a large lag or any of the connection-dropped messages. This is making me hopeful. :-)
