      They only seem to work from the homepage, seemingly because of the URL structure.

      If within a category or topic, the buttons try to go to their respective functions within the category or topic which doesn't work/exist.

      This doesn't appear to be a problem here.

      One thought it that perhaps the URL domain structure we have which is one more layer deep is causing the issue.

      Here 3 layers:
      forum.cloudron.io
      which gives a recent URL of:
      https://forum.cloudron.io/recent

      We have 4 layers:
      forum.sub.domain.io
      giving:
      https://forum.sub.domain.io/topic/xxx/recent which is a 404.

      Anyone come across this before?

      Can anyone with a wildcard domain validate this behavior?

      Is there a regex to adjust?

        I just use the "recents" tab and intentionally went and ignored all the apps I didn't care about and that achieved a similar result for me. Do you think what you're experiencing is a NodeBB specific bug or Cloudron routing issue?

          @Lonk it's feeling like a routing issue with this specific 4 part domain.

            @robi So this is happening on your personal install that has more than one subdomain then?

              Important to read NGINX logs when testing too. I always forget that they're so easily accessible in the Services tab.

                No, it's a client machine with a dyndns setup.

                    it's not an nginx issue.

                    it's a problem with how NodeBB generates the URL for the top buttons like /recent.

                    I don't know why it would be doing the extra URI paths when all it needs to do is /recent.

                        that would be a rash conclusion at this point.

                        I did post it here in the NodeBB section with the hopes to find out the actual reason, configuration or bug or otherwise.

                          @robi When I installed a NodeBB plugin, the navigations links did become corrupt once and I had to fix it by going to /admin/settings/navigation and editing all the entries one by one. I reported this on their forum but didn't get any real response.

                            @robi Have you switched to a regular singular sub domain and tested to see if the double sub-domain is the real issue at hand here?

                                  If I could, I'd have done this already.
                                  It's a dyndns that only lets you control xxx.sub.domains, and not sub.domains.

                                  Which is also why I asked for anyone with a wildcard domain for repro|comparison.

                                    What I meant is the thing on the left side named "Route". Does it say "/categories" for you? In my case, it had become"corrupt" like "/categories#xxx" something.

                                        @girish thank you that was it!

                                        I changed all the routes for all the menu items to start with a / and we're good now.

                                        Like you said, it must have been a plugin that changed the routes 😕

                                          @robi said in Unread/Recent/Nav buttons don't work within categories/topics:

                                          @girish thank you that was it!

                                          I changed all the routes for all the menu items to start with a / and we're good now.

                                          Like you said, it must have been a plugin that changed the routes 😕

                                          Niceeeee. Always feels good to fix a weird problems - glad you got it figured out! ☺️
