    @crazycells If I understand this correctly, you want a (for example, 5px) border around each card that is taken from the relevant category’s colour ?

    yes, actually even 1 px is doing the job. I made a change in inspector CSS codes to show the final result I aim…

    up there I only changed this line:

    border: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
    
  • @crazycells I have this running on https://hostrisk.com which is my cyber security (automated) news site. Are you looking for something like this ?

    46465831-6773-4784-8f23-feecc7db9117-image.png

    Here’s a jQuery function that will do this on the fly

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            $('.recent-card-container').each(function(i) {
                var dataId = $(this).attr("data-cid");
                var color = $('[role="presentation"]', this).css("background-color");
                console.log("data-cid " + dataId + " is " + color);
                $('[data-cid="' + dataId + '"] .recent-card').attr("style", "border-color: " + color);
            });
        });
    });
    

    Paste this into your ACP -> Appearance -> Custom JS, save, and test

    @crazycells No problems. Feel free to comment out line

    console.log("data-cid " + dataId + " is " + color);
    

    From that function as it’s only used to ensure the script is picking up the relevant background-color from the category.

    @phenomlab I think in dark mode, it is going back to normal. Is there an easy way to keep the same border color in dark mode as well?

    @crazycells Dark mode shouldn’t have any impact - can you provide a URL where I can see this ?

    @phenomlab Yes, I see the issue. It’s because of lazy CSS classes meaning this below will override everything else when body.lights-out is appended to the existing CSS class.

    body.lights-out .recent-cards .recent-card-container .recent-card {
        background-color: #2E2E2E;
        border: #848484;
    }
    

    You should be able to work around that by adding this into your custom CSS

    body.lights-out .recent-cards .recent-card-container .recent-card {
        border: 1px solid #848484;
    }

    Let me know how you get on.

    @phenomlab Yes, I found the lines and fixed them 😄

    Thank you very much. Since the recent card plugin-related codes are not included in the night mode plugin; we have previously added some custom codes for recent cards… Apparently, those codes were creating the problem. Now, it is fixed 👍

    hi @phenomlab , somehow recent cards are not clickable in my forum after using these codes, however, it works fine here…

    Normally, when I click a card it takes me to that topic, however, nothing happens now.

    I use this CSS:

    
    li.col-md-3.col-sm-6.col-xs-12.recent-card-container {
        width: 290px !important;
    }
    

    this JS code:

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            $('.recent-card-container').each(function(i) {
                var dataId = $(this).attr("data-cid");
                var color = $('[role="presentation"]', this).css("background-color");
                console.log("data-cid " + dataId + " is " + color);
                $('[data-cid="' + dataId + '"] .recent-card').attr("style", "border-color: " + color);
            });
        });
    });
    
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
       var categoryColor = $('[role="presentation"].icon').css("background-color");
                    $('li.topic-owner-post:nth-child(1)').css('border-color', categoryColor);
        });
    });
    
    
    window.addEventListener("load", () => {
        // CHROME
        if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Chrome") != -1) {
            console.log("Google Chrome");
            $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
                $('.carousel-mode').bxSlider({
                    auto: false,
                    autoControls: true,
                    stopAutoOnClick: true,
                    pager: false,
                    keyboardEnabled: true,

    @crazycells Strange. Are there any errors appearing in the console at your end ? When I look at the console itself, I see

    0a1b4841-6da4-4809-958e-4636441ada61-image.png

    However, this doesn’t seem to have any impact on the recent cards - the links appear to work fine. I think this may be a caching issue at your end ?

    @phenomlab hmm, I tried on different browsers with iPhone.

    First of all, when I delete this code:

    
    window.addEventListener("load", () => {
        // CHROME
        if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Chrome") != -1) {
            console.log("Google Chrome");
            $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
                $('.carousel-mode').bxSlider({
                    auto: false,
                    autoControls: true,
                    stopAutoOnClick: true,
                    pager: false,
                    keyboardEnabled: true,
                    touchEnabled: false
                });
            });
        } else {
            console.log("Others");
            $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
                $('.carousel-mode').bxSlider({
                    auto: false,
                    autoControls: true,
                    stopAutoOnClick: true,
                    pager: false,
                    keyboardEnabled: true,
                    touchEnabled: true
                });
            });
        }
    });
    

    then, everything is normal, cards are clickable but of course, sliding does not work.

    However, when I activate it, I could not click the cards on Safari, but it was working on Firefox. I can slide the cards on both browsers by the way.

    So, I guess like Google Chrome, Safari has its own problems with this sliding application?

    @crazycells odd. Should actually work on Safari. Can you change the line under “Others” to be touchEnabled: false and see if that allows you to select the href links ?

    Obviously, save the code and reload the site before testing again.

    with this change, in both Safari and Firefox browsers, I can click the cards and go to the topics, however sliding does not work.

    @crazycells yes, unsurprising as they both use the webkit CSS rendering engine. This will be the same bug I reference earlier that affects Google Chrome. Not much that can be done sadly.

  • wrote on last edited by phenomlab

    @pobojmoks that’s easily done by modifying the code provided here so that it targets background rather than border

    In essence, the below should work

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            $('.recent-card-container').each(function(i) {
                var dataId = $(this).attr("data-cid");
                var color = $('[role="presentation"]', this).css("background-color");
                console.log("data-cid " + dataId + " is " + color);
                $('[data-cid="' + dataId + '"] .recent-card').attr("style", "background-color: " + color);
            });
        });
    });

    @crazycells Good points, thanks. I completely forgot that classes are added - makes life much simpler! EDIT - seems this is pretty straightforward, and only needs the below CSS .upvoted i { color: var(--bs-user-level) !important; } This then yields [image: 3f072f8a-ebfa-4910-8723-73c493b8e4eb-image.png] However, the caveat here is that the .upvoted class will only show for your upvotes, and nobody else’s. However, this does satisfy the original request however I would love to see my upvoted posts more clearly, because currently, when I upvote, nothing on the post tool is changing, it would be nicer if there is an indication that I have upvoted (like a filled or colored triangle?)

It is, yes, but not if you are using it outside of a widget. The function I wrote is also historical and comes from the 2.x train

    @crazycells pleasure. Using percentages makes much more sense in this case. It’s the same argument with px vs pt vs em with fonts, margins, padding, etc., in the sense that em is generally preferred over px and pt https://stackoverflow.com/questions/609517/why-em-instead-of-px

    @Sampo2910 no problems. Happy to help. Just remember that this particular method isn’t the best in the sense that it may not get update notifications. The general recommendation here would be to move back to the official npm repo as soon as the GitHub version has been merged. For the meantime, it’ll work fine though.
