Problems with owncloud 6.0? Look no longer! Read this thread!

[agherzan]

It seems i am not able to install this app in the latest owncloud release. Is there a special procedure to adopt for this version?

[BernhardPosselt]

It is supported ;) Check your logs, check if you updated the app framework. If nothing else works, open an issue in core.

[agherzan]

Well is none are listed in the apps section of the new owncloud. Any hints why?

[BernhardPosselt]

Appstore or core problem

[BernhardPosselt]

Just a quick hint: you can also install it from git, see https://github.com/owncloud/news#git-development-version

sorry for the dup - updating app framework helped 👍

[BernhardPosselt]

Reopening this thread to prevent tons of dups :)

I update to owncloud 6. Your app is working, I mean can see the articles in dashboard plugin or android application, but from the browser, it stays on loading the page. I have the total number of articles on left (and details on categories) but the circle loading on right ?
Already empty my browser cache, same. Firefox 26 and 28

And if you can answer me also, is there anyway to force the appstore to update the list ? Your app was not on my list, so I reinstall by downloading (and also update from git but still buggy for me)

[BernhardPosselt]

Logs?

I dont know about the appstore. Maybe setting required OC version to 5 blocks it from being installed on 6? no idea really

[BernhardPosselt]

FYI theres no way to set it to owncloud6 without making it useless for owncloud5

[lunarok]

I don't know if it's related, I just find this in log and your app is the only one in function to use the appframework :
{"app":"PHP","message":"json_encode(): Invalid UTF-8 sequence in argument at /var/www/yunohost/apps/owncloud/apps/appframework/http/jsonresponse.php#90","level":2,"time":"2013-12-12T19:58:57+00:00"}

Look like just a display issue, the display in dashboard and android are ok.
So if you need to break owncloud 5 support to get it work, this will be happening ? Maybe by using the git repo as an installation source first ?

[BernhardPosselt]

Yes thats your issue, the invalid utf-8 sequence. Thats an entirely different issue though. Check your database settings (and google that ;) ). Its not a display issue since this will cause the JSON to be invalid for the webinterface.

As for the appstore issue: I dont care. Either the appstore devs will fix this or not. People that need the app now can always install it from the repo

[BernhardPosselt]

@lunarok can you try if 321584d fixed it?

[lunarok]

For the display not better, for the error log, it changes :)
{"app":"PHP","message":"iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string at /var/www/yunohost/apps/owncloud/apps/news/db/item.php#162","level":2,"time":"2013-12-12T21:02:56+00:00"}

I just check on my side the database, everything is in UTF-8, so yes before your message I relay on articles or feeds I get issue. But, still working with android app (fix I don't understand, if it's an encoding issue and the framework was answering badly, that any way to display information will be affected, but I'm lucky they get different ways)

[BernhardPosselt]

@lunarok can you get on IRC to fix this together?

[BernhardPosselt]

also please try (pull) again :)

[miicha]

@lunarok the utf8 stuff sounds very familiar
owncloud/core#6302 should fix it

[BernhardPosselt]

@miicha oh wow, that would indeed be awesome if that fixed it.

[wengxt]

on the http://apps.owncloud.com/content/show.php/News?content=158434 it says "depends on ownCloud 5", I guess that's the reason why it doesn't show in ownCloud 6 app list.

[BernhardPosselt]

Reverted the commits, please try the fix in core instead.

[BernhardPosselt]

@csslayer iirc it should be handled like 5+ as in: compatible with 5 or higher.

[lunarok]

@Raydiation : has not work for me the core diff. But has the core diff is showing issue with old PHP and I get the warning on admin dashboard, I will move first my owncloud instance to an updated server. Will see if it's enough. (This one is on squeeze because of the yunohost)

[miicha]

@lunarok did you clear cache and logout, login after the patch?, can you post errors/warnings from js-console?

[lunarok]

@miicha : yes, I just do it. Log off, purge cache and log in. Still same. Still have errors about Invalid UTF-8 sequence.
I will migrate from a squeeze server to a ubuntu 13.04 for check.

[stefan-niedermann]

When will News-App be available via official "app-store"?

[BernhardPosselt]

In detail: the app is published and available, it just doesn't show up in the oc apps list interface for whatever reason. I assume it's because it only displays apps with minimum version 6. I can set it to 5 or 6 exclusively which means dropping support for all versions that are not selected. Support for 5 will only be dropped once it's officially not supported anymore.

[BernhardPosselt]

Ive published versions for oc 6 on the appstore as a temporary solution
