Babble Chat

[Mark_Schmucker (mark78)]

I have Babble installed but no longer use it, so it’s disabled. I wouldn’t care whether it was installed or not, except that my site is now broken in either case.

If I uninstall it, it breaks the groups page at /g:

After upgrade, "/g" is cluttered with PM groups of 2

After upgrading to 2.7.0.beta1, forum.example.com/g now displays hundreds of groups of two, evidently formed by PMs. The “real” groups are still there, but hard to find. The private groups of 2 are visible only to admins or staff- normal users see only the real groups. Is this intentional? If so, could it be made an option, not the default? It’s not what admins normally want to see. And there’s no way to get there using the drop-list filter. Here’s a very small sample including one real group: …

If I leave it installed but disabled, it breaks our custom digests. Admittedly this is being called by our discourse-506investor-digest-plugin, but it seems the NilClass is in babble/app/models/topic.rb.

From /logs:

Job exception: undefined method id’ for nil:NilClass`
