Lately folks accessing my blog from Hive.blog have reported my posts appeared to be blank. What is the nature of the problem displaying the content of my posts Hive.blog is having, and is it only my posts, or are there others this is happening to? I'd appreciate any insight into this issue you can provide.
Thanks!
I think it's this issue: https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/condenser/-/merge_requests/429
The fix was merged, but perhaps it hasn't been deployed to hive.blog. @gtg Can you check on it?
Someone with better understanding than me explained that five fixes have been attempted now for this issue, but it has been a couple weeks since the last. Earlier in the week a comment I made had this issue, so it seems to still be ongoing. @GTG if you could spare a moment to let me know if it is resolved, or what it is that I do that triggers it so I can avoid doing that, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Hey, sorry for that taking too long, lots on my TODO list, and unfortunately I can't simple go with current HEAD of develop as it has changes that I can't put into live system.
It's the
<iframe>code to be blamed, that's not properly handled.By the way, are you brave (or crazy) enough to start using https://blog.openhive.network instead? :-)
(It's meant to eventually replace the code that's running on a hive.blog)>
EDIT: I just read that those were actually your readers not you using hive.blog for viewing your content
Also, that
iframething seems to be embedding of odysee links, for the best way to do that in posts it would be just to pust a link to them, as you can't safely assume that every frontend with deal with such embedding in a desired way.I suspected that iframes were the issue, as I commonly insert them in posts, but only rarely in comments, and this alerted me when those comments were the ones blanked out (and it was suggested by another with better understanding of code than me. Thanks @dreamtales!). I appreciate the confirmation, and will return to the use of links to source on Odysee that I formerly undertook, rather than insertion of iframes, prior to the @peakd team informing me such insertion was possible (to be fair, iframes don't cause this problem on any frontends but Hive.blog, which Peakd isn't responsible for), until there is a resolution to the problem.
I wasn't aware of the openhive network interface, and will have a look at it when availed the time. Is it still in alpha? I might need to exercise the caution due n00bs if so. I do very much want to be able to insert iframes, as well as .mp4, and similar video sources, so I hope that Hive frontends do enable displaying them.
Thanks very much!
What's on https://blog.openhive.network is pre-release version of new code designed for Hive.Blog, should be safe to use with Keychain and it also has its own authentication based on "beekeeper".
iframesand any other non-markdown content within body of blog posts or comments are not recommended. I mean, decentralized platform so I should rather say - I wouldn't recommend them :-)As for videos I have high hopes for 3Speak / SpkNetwork and their pursue of decentralized storage that we could easily use (and self-host).
I appreciate this information. I'm not a coder, and my understanding of the terms used is vague, at best, but I am happy to hear the fix is in, and hope the problem doesn't recur. If there is anything I need to do on my end, I'd be grateful to be apprised of it.
Thank you.
