Technical Problems

Switched to discourse grey and that did fix it. And it’s similar enough to the other grey theme that I wont notice the change too much. Thanks!

I see the problem with videos hanging down below the tweet, but only on mobile

I know the twitter embed issue was posted about somewhere but can’t find it so just noting something here…

I don’t have a twitter account and haven’t had issues before but now I get a nag screen every time I click on anything - going to a linked tweet (allows me through if I close the nag), clicking on a twitter profile (can’t get there), clicking more replies (can’t get there).

I don’t know whether this is all part of the same issue as the embedded tweets problem but they certainly changed something the other day … on top of their shiny new font.

Yes, I noticed this too. Trying to keep people from lurking without an account I guess

@goreo is there anything I can do to help? I miss my tweeters.

We’re not sure why it’s not working. @olink set up a new twitter dev account and connected it to the forum but nothing changed, and I think twitter embeds work right out of the box without having to even connect a twitter API key, so right now we’re at the :man_shrugging: stage.

I know twitter changed a bunch of stuff recently, but tweets still embed on meta.discourse.org so it’s not a discourse problem, since it just started yesterday and there haven’t been any discourse patches since then, and no bug reports on their site from other forums. Not sure how you can help, but if you have any ideas, we’re all ears.

Yeah for some reason this site’s request to /onebox is returning 404 (not found).

Is onebox some kind of generic plugin that twitter uses?

There are some funky errors at page load and when the post panel opens. But maybe these were always there.

Onebox™ is Discourse’s term for how they embed previews of content in a nice little box. If you’re not using one of the “Discourse Light/Dark/Grey” themes, can you test again from one of those because those errors are probably from the js I added to the older LIght/Dark/Grey Themes. The “Discourse” themes are stock with no modifications so any errors will be actual errors and not lolgoreo errors. Tweets don’t embed on the “Discouse” themes either.

Not sure if this makes sense to try.

Can you see anything in the logs?

Looks like we’re on 2.8.0.beta2 whereas meta.discourse is on 2.8.0.beta4

Not sure if that matters.

Or maybe we could try downgrading to a non-beta version?

Actually maybe it always says beta. philliesphans.com is on 1.9.0.beta2

Thanks, @olink has an actual job where he has to do stuff during the day but I’m sure he’ll see this this evening

They use beta differently than other software companies.

Thanks to @suzzer99 for the suggestion and @olink for just doing something that fixed it. I had nothing to do with any of it.
