    Hi @phenomlab

    As seen in pm, I open this topic to follow the 2 following ones:

    https://sudonix.org/topic/200/nodebb-reply-button-arrow-answer/24

    https://sudonix.org/topic/179/nodebb-css-style-sheets-selectbox/109

    – For the submit button, on new Topic and reply to a topic, ll work great with default theme (CSS code in ACP) but I end up with some bugs on my Custom themes 😞

    – I copied your code for the button in the ACP/custom CSS (for default theme)

    .btn-group>.btn:last-child:not(:first-child), .btn-group>.dropdown-toggle:not(:first-child) {
      margin-left: -3px;
    }
    .btn-group>.btn:not(:first-child):not(:last-child):not(.dropdown-toggle):hover {
      border-top-right-radius: 0px;
      border-bottom-right-radius: 0px;
    }
    button.btn.btn-primary.composer-submit:hover {
        border-top-right-radius: 4px !important;
        border-bottom-right-radius: 4px !important;
    }
    .btn .caret {
      margin-left: 2px;
    }
    .btn-group>.btn:not(:first-child):not(:last-child):not(.dropdown-toggle) {
      border-radius: 0px;
      border-top-right-radius: 4px;
      border-bottom-right-radius: 4px;
      margin-left: 0px;
    }
    

    – Ref to the topic I add this :

    .btn-primary {
        color: #fff;
        background-color: #337ab7;
        border-color: #337ab7;
    }
    

    – After several hours of testing and research, I think I have variable conflicts in the custom CSS and I can’t get by anymore 🙂

    I list the bugs below to fix here.

    I can give you access to modify the CSS file as you wish and do some tests.
    A backup of the file is made so it doesn’t matter.

    If you can help me with one CSS and explain what you do exactly (delete, add, modfy), I can reproduce on the other themes

    !! I give you access and information on PM !!


    Bug found. (Maybe other, if you can see that too).

    – Problem due to small hack, can be avoided by changing hover color (color a bit darker like in default theme) or other hack:

    Reply button topic

    – Same problem on chat edit button:
    chat edit button

    – Same problem on advanced search/Save preference button:
    Save preference button

    Thanks in advance

    @downpw A quick and easy fix is to remove this 🙂 (but not from default theme)

    .btn-group>.btn:last-child:not(:first-child), .btn-group>.dropdown-toggle:not(:first-child) {
        /* margin-left: -3px; */
    }

    }
    

    – It’s Ok just for this below but I must use :

    .btn-group>.btn:last-child:not(:first-child), .btn-group>.dropdown-toggle:not(:first-child) {
       	margin-left: -1px;
    }
    

    alt text

    – For the other problems, If I use this code (must add-1px to margin-left), submit button it’s Ok…

    …but not for edit chat button and preference button (mouse over is OK) :

    .btn-group>.btn:not(:first-child):not(:last-child):not(.dropdown-toggle) {
    	border-top-right-radius: 4px;
    	border-bottom-right-radius: 4px;

    I can’t replicate this

    88c80be0-153b-41c1-84fb-b30c67cdb690-image.png

    All I did was to remove

    .btn-group>.btn:last-child:not(:first-child), .btn-group>.dropdown-toggle:not(:first-child) {
       	margin-left: -3px;
    }
    

    I don’t think you need this line at all

    @downpw This will fix the reply button on hover

    .btn-group > .btn:first-child:not(:last-child):not(.dropdown-toggle) {
        margin-right: 2px;
    }
    

    This will fix the search alignment, as the CSS is inherited

    a#save-preferences {
        margin-left: -3px;
        margin-right: 2px;
    }
    

    This should fix the message buttons

    .message-body, .btn-xs.btn-link {
        margin-left: -2px !important;
        margin-right: 1px !important;
    }
    

    And this will fix the composer submit button

    .composer-submit {
        margin-left: -3px !important;
    }

    @downpw Correct. Only apply these fixes to your custom CSS.

    No need, margin-right: 0px; is good for me

    This will fix the search alignment, as the CSS is inherited

    a#save-preferences {
        margin-left: -3px;
        margin-right: 2px;
    }
    

    No working, just add border-radius to 0

    }

    }
    

    Not working, i was try button .btn .btn-xs .btn-link too. Border is always here. maybe more specific about this button but I don’t see the class.

    alt text

    And this will fix the composer submit button

    .composer-submit {
        margin-left: -3px !important;
    }
    

    No need it seems to me

    @downpw I just tried this again from an incognito session, and the CSS I suggested also works perfectly. Very strange indeed… 😕

    @downpw Yes, I see the ACP - none of the CSS I provided should be in there - it should only reside in the custom themes.

    I’ll have a look at this tomorrow but ideally need the code applied beforehand.

    @Panda said in Interesting Widget code, but can’t fetch API: How did you drop that widget into the post there? I hadnt seen this BSgenerator anywhere on sudonix site, do you use it somewhere already? Yes, here https://sudonix.org/topic/414/corporate-bullshit-generator?_=1687774393044 It’s not a “post” or “topic” in the common sense. It is actually a page in it’s own right and leverages nodebb-plugin-custom-pages. This in turn creates a new “route” which behaves like a page, meaning it is then exposed for widgets. @Panda said in Interesting Widget code, but can’t fetch API: Also can you explain more what you mean by calling the code externally. In my API call example, how would I go about doing that? By this, I mean create all the required code in an external JS file that is reachable by the NodeBB instance - so, in “public” for example - or in my case /public/js. The widget then “calls” that file and because it runs outside of the scope of NodeBB, you just need to return the values to the widget. Hope this makes sense?

    @DownPW sure. Let me have a look at this in more detail. I know nginx plus has extensive support for this, but it’s not impossible to get somewhere near acceptable with the standard version. You might be better off handling this at the Cloudflare level given that it sits in between the requesting client and your server.

    @DownPW I see why. The code relies on the existence of [component="topic/quickreply/container"] However, this by definition means that the below has to be enabled [image: aeef638f-4188-489d-a9f2-f3a26dbca9d8-image.png] It will then work [image: 7fb38631-e0f3-46ef-b652-00929d927b13-image.png] For some unknown reason, this is hidden in Harmony, and only shows if you select it. In v2, it seems that the <section> is deleted altogether in Persona if “Quick Reply” is disabled, meaning it won’t fire as it can’t locate that specific component. The downside is that you might not want the quick reply function, but I think it’s a PITA to scroll up to the top of the post just to reply, so I have it on
