Error with categories with limited visibility and/or subcategories

Same for me, and I upgraded today. So it is in Discourse?

And now I try dig in a bit deeper.

Hmm yours is a server side error @Jagster I think that’s a different thing. Also, this change is not merged yet so it shouldn’t affect self hosted sites.

That’s true, but I was logged in.OP’s error is for anons. And anyway, in both cases it happends to categories.

From Discourse:

HasCustomFields::NotPreloadedError (Attempted to access the non preloaded custom field 'sort_topics_by_event_start_date' on the 'Category' class.

And

So… next I will kill the calender plugin, right?

edit

Links to categories on the sidebar works nicely, every other category-links gives error.

I have limited this error a bit. It happends only when a category has sub-categories. And /categories gives error 500 too.

And I still aren’t sure if it comes from Calender. If yes is it another case where safe-mode is toothless?

But Lockdown gives this:

So I’m quite sure this doesn’t come from plugins but Discourse itself, but again, I’m not a dev.

I’m the OP and I don’t have the Calendar plugin installed (I’m on a hosted discourse level that doesn’t have that plugin.)

It’s possible that the ā€œsub-categories cause itā€ is the case… I can’t tell now since things are pretty broken on my site. But I did just create a category… so if (i forget how it works) it defaults to putting new categories under, for example, Public… then I did just create my first sub-category (accidentally).

The error certainly looks like it does… sort_topics_by_event_start_date…

This is being registered here:

and for categories here:

I have a feeling this might be a regression due to category scalability work we are doing now… we will have a look.

Ah nice! It was already reported. I’ll leave this below so the search works better.

while trying to load /categories.json)

We are investigating this.

This problem was caused by discourse-calendar, but the latest version (soon) of the plugin should fix it:

This is a problem from discourse-category-lockdown, that we do not have any control over. I can submit a PR to it though.

Caused? So, both plugins got same bug for reason X, or Discouse has changed something that affect both?

No, I’m not blaiming anyone, but I’m just trying understand jargon.

A recent performance improvement caused this. Custom fields are a unicorn in our codebase that can be used by various plugins to extend functionality. However, if unused incorrectly it can come with a performance hit. This improvement looks at addressing that:

Yup. Works nicely. Thanks a lot.

Category Lockdown gives spinner of eternity, though (well, that issue may come from Firefox/iPad on por…spy mode too). But it is different issue, I reckon.
