Comment Post #291248 Need some more information to start to figure out what's going on. Step by step, what exactly are you doing, and what exactly happens? If you can include screenshots that would also help.

Comment Post #288654 @#63646 It'd be easy enough to export posts in Markdown form - it could be done with one SQL query, which you could then export into any format you like.

Comment Post #288654 I was going to add an answer, but this pretty much says everything I would have said anyway. SO hasn't built the ability to import from another source; we have limited SE import tools but I'm not sure they'd work for Teams.

Comment Post #287809 Doesn't sound like an issue with your caching setup, sounds like a bug to me. I'm not sure whether the string you're seeing is right or not - it looks vaguely like a Marshal string (Ruby's format for serializing native data), but I'm not sure whether it should be that or just a string.

Answer A: How to set up a Production environment
Assuming you've followed the steps in the guide to setting up development, changing that to a production environment is relatively easy. Check your production configuration file (`config/environments/production.rb`) and make sure that it works for you. I can't tell you what's right here - it dep...

Answer A: Checking if the user is signed in from front end code
When you say front-end code, do you mean views or JavaScript? The answer is different. Views are the client-side code, but are generated server-side so you have access to things like `usersignedin?` and `currentuser`. JavaScript has the QPixel JS API that you can use: ```js const user = awa...

Answer A: How does a newcomer to Ruby get oriented in the qpixel code?
This is assuming that you're new to Ruby and Rails (and the MVC design pattern that comes with it), but you have programming experience. First, some orientation: Ruby is the programming language that QPixel is written in. It's object-oriented, interpreted, and quite like Python in some ways &mda...

Answer A: How to fix ActionView::Template::Error (No route matches {:action=>"new", :controller=>"posts", :post_type=>nil} when visiting the moderator page?
This is related to your other problem - it's the same root cause. Without any post types in the database, there aren't any to add to the categories, and the help and policy post types don't exist to make this link work.

Comment Post #285521 Honestly, it sounds like there's something wrong with your setup somewhere - maybe a missed step, maybe some wrong configuration - difficult to tell exactly. You shouldn't get these errors at all. Did you seed the database when you set up initially? If you look in the database now, is there anything ...

Answer A: How to fix NoMethodError: undefined method `id' for nil:NilClass when visiting the QPixel homepage?
You don't have a homepage category set. Go to the category list (/categories), pick one to be the homepage, edit it and tick the homepage option, then save it and try again. If that's not in the setup guide, it probably should be!

Comment Post #285488 Really weird. I suspect it's because of the error log, which Cloudflare has mis-categorised before as an attempted attack. I thought we fixed that but maybe I need to have another look.

Answer A: How to deal with OpenSSL::Cipher::CipherError when editing QPixel's credentials
The error is actually a `ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor::InvalidMessage`, which means either the message you're trying to decrypt is corrupted (it isn't), or you have the wrong key. Since the `credentials.yml.enc` in the repo is the production credentials, the key for this is stored separately. F...

Your MySQL installation is missing timezone support for the groupdate gem that we use. Run the following: ``` mysqltzinfotosql /usr/share/zoneinfo | sudo mysql -u root mysql ``` and you should be good to go.

Answer A: How to circumvent Stripe::AuthenticationError: No API key provided
Stripe setup is handled in `config/initializers/stripe.rb`, where the Stripe API key is set based on the values saved in the Rails credentials file. You should be able to run `rails credentials:edit` (set the EDITOR environment variable to whatever command line editor you use first), and set `stri...

Answer A: How to solve Magick::ImageMagickError: no decode delegate for this image format in AdvertisementControllerTest#test_image_paths_should_return_png
I have this error in my local environment too, and I've not been able to figure it out yet. It's somehow related to ImageMagick being built (or not) with the right image libraries, but as far as I can tell my environment has all the right libraries already... As a workaround, you can just skip run...

Answer A: Desired state of code documentation
QPixel has limited code documentation. That's partially by design, and partially because it often just gets missed out. Ruby is a relatively verbose language which tries to be as self-documenting as possible by design and by convention. Rails continues that pattern. A lot of Ruby and Rails code ca...

Answer A: How to show border using classes while there's another border attribute in css? Should I use style attribute that moment?
You should almost never use a `style` attribute. They're clunky, they mix HTML with CSS meaning you can't preload it, and they override just about everything else. Instead, either use atomic classes from Co-Design, or if that doesn't work add a class of your own and write some custom CSS. In th...

Answer A: How to test CoDesign?
I have a test page on my local dev environment so that I can test things. If you look at `.gitignore`, you'll find there's an ignore in there for `scratch/` already. Create a directory called `scratch`, add an `index.html` in there something like this: ```html Test Page ...

Answer A: mysql return error `ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql2::Error: Cannot drop table 'abilities' referenced by a foreign key constraint 'fk_rails_de15a6ad96' on table 'user_abilities'.: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS abilities`
You've already got a database there that you're trying to overwrite. As long as it hasn't got anything in it that you want, do a `drop database qpixeldev` and `drop database qpixeltest`, then re-run from the start.

Answer A: What's a low-effort option for a Codidact development machine?
A Raspberry Pi will run QPixel, and would be almost ideal for development as a small tinkering box. It's small, it'll fit on a desk with everything else already there, it can be remoted into. The only catch is that (unless you buy a pre-set-up Pi) you do have to set up the OS, but that's not a diffic...
