[NODEBB] Help for my custom CSS

[DownPW]

I don’t know.

I delete the cache all the time after modif CSS file.

[phenomlab]

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

[DownPW]

Can you see my CSS/ACP ?

maybe I did things wrong?

I try on private navigation too.

[phenomlab]

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

[DownPW]

hmm if you can see custom CSS, I would appreciate it

[phenomlab]

@downpw Let me have a look

[phenomlab]

@downpw Can you please insert the code I provided into the Dark Aqua CSS theme file?

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

so sorry. first code ?

[phenomlab]

@downpw this one
https://sudonix.com/topic/207/nodebb-help-for-my-custom-css/7?_=1642791291710

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

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

Ok done at the end of the file

[phenomlab]

@downpw thanks

[phenomlab]

@downpw Are these lines still there ? I don’t see them at the bottom of the file ?

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

PM

[phenomlab]

@downpw Thanks for the confirmation. This is indeed quite odd, as the classes, despite being at the bottom of the file, do not appear in the DOM. If I apply them manually

Everything works as I expected

Looking at your CSS, I can see why

Note that you are missing a closing curly brace on what should be line 2716 so this explains why the remaining CSS is not being loaded !

This block also has a stray asterisk

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

Should be

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

@phenomlab

Oh my god.
I’m a noob.

as a reminder, the problem on the chat is not with mouse hover (I see you have a hand on the button)

[phenomlab]

@downpw Yes, I know. I’m just rectifying the issues

[phenomlab]

@DownPW After spending a lot of time on the theme switcher (see referenced post above), I re-wrote some of it as found that there were caching issues with CSS as it always calls the same version number. The new function below resolves that issue.

I also removed the website prefix, as with relative paths, this is not required

// ------------------------------------------
// Theme Switcher
// ------------------------------------------
// On choisit une chaine de caractère aléatoire pour affecter un numéro de version au fichier CSS. 
// The function below creates a random string which we use for CSS versioning to prevent cache conflicts
function generateRandomString(length) {
    var text="";
    var possible="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
    for (var i=0;
    i < length;
    i++) {
        text+=possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));
    }
    return text;
}

$(document).ready(function () {
    var string=generateRandomString(10);
    $("#random_string").text(string);
    // This variable gets the theme ID 
    // Cette variable obtient l'ID du thème
    var whichTheme=localStorage.getItem("theme");
    // This variable gets the active theme's actual URL
    //Cette variable obtient l'URL réelle du thème actif
    var activeTheme=localStorage.getItem("activeTheme");
    // This variable appends the dropdown list to the existing panel
    // Cette variable ajoute la liste déroulante au panneau existant
    var panel=$('<li id="switcher" class="dropdown text-center"> \

– The modification for resolve cache problem/CSS number version is very great

– I have just change the CSS class for change icon on JS Script here :

var panel = $('<li id="switcher" class="dropdown text-center"> \
<label for="theme-control-list-check" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" id="theme_dropdown" title="" role="button" data-original-title="Theme" aria-expanded="false"> \
<a class="btn-link" title="Theme Switcher" href="#"><i id="ticon" class="fa fa-fw fa-toogle-o"></i><span class="visible-xs-inline">Theme Switcher</span></a> \

– I have light and dark theme, so I prefer a universal button like toogle ON/OFF

• Toogle Off icon on Default Theme :
  

• Toogle On icon on each other theme :
  

– ACP/CSS :

/*Switch toogle Off (Off:204 - On:205*/
.fa.fa-toogle-o:before {
    content: "\f204";
    font-size: 16px;
}

– Each theme CSS :

/*Switch toogle Off (Off:204 - On:205*/
.fa.fa-toogle-o:before {
    content: "\f205";
    font-size: 16px;
}

I have trad comment line too !!

I put the topic on solved status but it’s not excluded that I return here to ask questions about CSS that I will have trouble finding for future themes if it does not bother !

@downpw some really nice enhancements there !

[DownPW]

I forgot this.

– On position text and icon of theme switcher, I have added padding-top to ventilate the surrounding area and align all icon :

/*Smartphone*/
@media all and (max-width: 1024px)
{
/*VIOLENCE: BUGFIX: Placement du "Theme Switcher" */
    #switcher {
    list-style: none;
    margin-left: -80px;
    padding-top: 15px;
}
}

– And I also improved the space between the icon and the text :

@media all and (max-width: 1024px)
{
#switcher .fa-fw {
    text-align: center;
    width: 1.25em;
    padding-right: 25px;
}
}

– Result:
