    Hi All,

    It’s been a while. I took a break from well…everything to be honest. Anyway here I am and I hope you are all well.

    I have a question regarding nodebb and external links. Is it possible to make all external links open in a new window by default? Pretty sure it’s not in the settings. A lot has chnaged since I last played around with it.

    Thank you in advance.

    @Sampo2910 welcome back! Hope you’re well?

    It’s certainly possible to open links in a new window. It’s in the markdown settings as below

    @Sampo2910 A feeling I know all too well with the “pennies”. Hopefully, you’re back to full health now?

    @phenomlab Yes, all good. Had all the tests and now back at it. Had some stress tests on the bike, running whilst all wired up like Steve Austin 🙂 All turned out well.

    Just one of them things, but sure makes you appreciate what you have.

    Funny how it does exactly that. Stay well!

    Just to add there is a plugin there to activate called link preview. It works ok but with that the links do not open up in a new tab/window. Other links are ok but not with that plugin 😞

    @Sampo2910 search the forum here for ogproxy which is the client side version of that plugin I wrote.

    It’s in use here on this forum.

    @eeeee if you’re using the console, you could try node app.js > app.log 2>&1 This would redirect stdout to a file named app.log and redirect stderr to stdout. I’m not sure about standard logging under NodeBB, but there is an error log located at logs/error.log. Failing that, you could always stop the NodeBB service then use ./nodebb dev from the console which would then provide debug output.

    @DownPW Looking at the underlying code, class start is being added on hover by jQuery in this function document.querySelectorAll(".button-gradient, .button-transparent").forEach((button) => { const style = getComputedStyle(button); const lines = document.createElement("div"); lines.classList.add("lines"); const groupTop = document.createElement("div"); const groupBottom = document.createElement("div"); const svg = createSVG( button.offsetWidth, button.offsetHeight, parseInt(style.borderRadius, 10) ); groupTop.appendChild(svg); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); lines.appendChild(groupTop); lines.appendChild(groupBottom); button.appendChild(lines); button.addEventListener("pointerenter", () => { button.classList.add("start"); }); svg.addEventListener("animationend", () => { button.classList.remove("start"); }); }); }) The CSS for start is below .button-gradient.start .lines svg, .button-transparent.start .lines svg { animation: stroke 0.3s linear; } And this is the corresponding keyframe @keyframes stroke { 30%, 55% { opacity: 1; } 100% { stroke-dashoffset: 5; opacity: 0; } } It’s using both CSS and SVG, so might not be a simple affair to replicate without the SVG files.

    @phenomlab Thx again for the reply. Well I am sure that it will be well worth the wait. I will watch with anticipation. For now it is OK. Just small minor irritations I fell in a lot of NodeBB ‘default’ things.

    @pobojmoks Do you see any errors being reported in the console ? At first guess (without seeing the actual code or the site itself), I’d say that this is AJAX callback related

    @qwinter this particular site uses the code I wrote if you want to see it in action. It’s a information and intelligence gatherer I designed for collecting various information security articles from around the globe and consolidating them in one place. Essentially, each “post” is in fact generated by the script, and the NodeBB API. https://hostrisk.com/
