Script in /head broke site

(Steven Greco) #1

I was copying over a script i created on my test site and ended up missing a close tag. Bad copy/paste job. This broke my site and i can no longer get to the customization screen to change it. Is there a way I can get to this from another way.

Is it still broken if you access directly any of the /admin URLs?

(Steven Greco) #3

yes. Its a script that is loading in the header.

Does it save this info into a file in the container or is all kept in the DB?

(Régis Hanol) #5

It’s in the DB. You should be able to recover by disabling the customization via the rails console.

Implementing Google Tag Manager with Discourse

thank you. That worked.

For future reference for anybody in the crazy situation where they are an admin but don’t have access to the Discourse instance’s shell…

…but are an admin and still authenticated - you can use the API:

API Key can be found here (THE_API_KEY_OBTAINED_BEFORE_GOES_HERE):
http://www.example.com/admin/api.json

List of customisations to find ID here (THE_CUSTOMIZATION_ID_HERE):
http://www.example.com/admin/customize/css_html.json

Then replacing the domain, customisation ID and API key:

curl -vs 'http://www.example.com/admin/site_customizations/THE_CUSTOMIZATION_ID_HERE?api_key=THE_API_KEY_OBTAINED_BEFORE_GOES_HERE&api_username=system' -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8' --data $'site_customization%5Benabled%5D=false' 2>&1
