Homepage setting doesn't display correctly

loopback0

My homepage is set to unread, as shown here, straight after visiting the site:

0_1461266787765_upload-d0a91774-72d2-44c5-bee7-f1a25486377a

This works, yet the Settings page (which was previously set) shows:

0_1461266852270_upload-6a9c7b76-19d8-40ec-bbb8-9abbda15fb92

I checked it originally because I thought it was forgetting the setting, but it might just be the dropdown that's broken so I'll double check in a day or two, but for now it's definitely behaving like a Discosetting™.

@ben_lubar - I assume this is all core so I can log it there once I've confirmed if it forgets the setting entirely (or not)?

Can confirm. I set mine to unread/new and it works, but it shows up as None in the settings.

Nothing specific to WTDWTF here. Go ahead and put it on NodeBB's bug tracker.

This was happening because, in settings, I somehow had "Homepage" set to "Custom" but "Custom Homepage Route" empty (or "custom", not sure).

Setting "Homepage" to "None" fixed this, but if I set it back to "Custom" there doesn't seem to be any validation whatsoever of the "Custom Homepage Route" input. Not even to check if it's empty.

I'd file a bug with NodeBB, but that sounds like work, so I'm hijacking this thread instead.

Christ I just realized I haven't seen @loopback0 for a while! Is he dead?

@DogsB His usercard says he's suspended. Sounds serious.

Onyx

@DogsB He's still trying to load the homepage.

@Tsaukpaetra It was fixed:

@fbmac said in Homepage setting doesn't display correctly:

@DogsB JOINED 2 YEARS AGO LAST ONLINE 28 DAYS AGO

That's proof positive that he's dead. I'm taking his signature as my own.

Maybe we should have a seance for @loopback0

@DogsB I think he disappeared about this time last year for a couple of months. Then he lost his TL4 status for failing to show up and not do his job.
