Selfoss 2.19 and PHP 8.2 - selfoss support forum

I upgraded from 2.18 to 2.19 and also migrated from PHP 5.6 to 8.2, and Apache to Nginx.

I got Selfoss running but there are some strange things going on.

First, in all my RSS feeds the article images aren't showing. Instead they are replaced with a large cyan-coloured box where each image should be. The images do show up fine in my Twitter: your timeline feed.

Second, when I'm in "Unread" mode and click on "Mark as read" after reviewing all the articles, the view doesn't advance to the next set of articles anymore. Instead the view retains the same set of articles and just shows them all as read. In order to advance I have to click on the "Unread" button again in order to update the view.

For the Twitter source, what you are seeing is a “thumbnail” – a primary image extracted from the tweet and stored in selfoss’s data directory. It may be that something (e.g. browser extension) is blocking the images in the articles, which will be loaded from the individual website. You may get more info in the Network panel of your browser’s developer tools.

Sorry about that. That is a known bug and was fixed. You may try the latest build in the meanwhile.

Thank you, I will try the nightly build!

Trying to diagnose why images from the articles don't show up but I'm a bit weak on the Javascript side of things. My web inspector looks like the following example, the img highlighted I can reach from my browser when I paste it manually but shows up as a cyan box. Should I be looking for something different?

The nightly build is giving me an internal server error with the message,
Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead

php-fpm logs looks like this:

2023/02/28 15:54:20 [error] 47310#100700: *91140 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} insteadPHP message: [src/helpers/Configuration.php:248] PHP message: [vendor/composer/ClassLoader.php:578] Base->{closure}()PHP message: [vendor/composer/ClassLoader.php:578] include()PHP message: [vendor/composer/ClassLoader.php:432] Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader::Composer\Autoload\{closure}()PHP message: [src/common.php:49] Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader->loadClass()PHP message: [index.php:5] require()" while reading response header from upstream

Maybe it's a PHP 8.2 thing. I'll dig around and see what I can figure out. Newer PHP versions always seem to break things.

If it's most likely something on my end, I can blow away my instance and try again.

Sorry, this was my mistake, fixed in https://github.com/fossar/selfoss/commit/ca3c8abe2926a9ad086e873665b9d58bfd4a30fc.

Thank you, the latest nightly build resolves the above server error issue and is working for me now. Also, "mark as read" updates the display once again in this version so I'm happy about that.

I wasn't using offline mode but I may have once turned it on inadvertently.

I used Safari's web inspector on Mac to inspect the page elements.

And finally, one comment. The latest night mode user.css is nice, I just had to adjust the transparency to make it a bit easier to read.

Nevermind on the images issue, I got it working. It was a file permissions / ownership problem. I reverted back to 2.19 as well

Apologies for wasting your time

I think an offline mode issue is more likely since the third-party images are not stored in selfoss data directory.

Oh, right, I forgot we are also using lazy loading.

Are there any errors in the Console tab?

What web browser is that?

Are you perhaps using offline mode (I see a cloud next to unread count)? That is still experimental and can cause issues sometimes. Logging out from selfoss should disable the offline mode.
