Changing the look of recent cards

Announcements

  • I wanted a way to draw attention to the recent cards on the categories page to make them stand out more - and what better way to do this than with some CSS. Here’s a short video of the outcome of that very exercise. Watch the recent cards closely as I cycle through the themes.

    There’s a gradient being set there which is essentially two of the core colours in each theme.

    For example, in swatch “Anthracite”, it’s easy to see how this effect works

    Essentially, we are setting the border-color and color variables to match the color set by the category itself. Essentially, this is an extension of this thread
    https://sudonix.com/topic/256/recent-cards-plugin-customization

    The minor change here is just one line

    $(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);
                $('[data-cid="' + dataId + '"] .recent-card h4 a').attr("style", "color: " + color);
            });
        });
    });
    

    The line in question is

    $('[data-cid="' + dataId + '"] .recent-card h4 a').attr("style", "color: " + color);
    

    By adding this line, we change both the border color, and the text color to match. I also chose to thicken the border by 1px to give it a bit more depth, which works very well. I did consider a box-shadow but I think that may look somewhat “overdone” and odd when coupled with other elements. The jury is still out on that one 🙂

    @baris said: You should change your selectors so it doesn’t look at the entire document. You probably only want to apply fancybox to stuff inside the #content element which is what changes when the user navigates around the page. So use $('#content a').... for your selectors then the forum logo in the header won’t be selected. I modified the JS Fancybox code now and this code and it seem better // --------------------------------------------- // Fancybox Media Reader (Without Website Logo) // --------------------------------------------- if (top.location.pathname !== '/login') { $(window).on('action:posts.loaded', function(data) { console.log("Polling DOM for lazyLoaded images to apply Fancybox"); $(document).ready(function() { $('#content a').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() { $('#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate"); }); }); }); } if (top.location.pathname !== '/login') { $(document).ready(function() { $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) { $('#content a').not('.logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() { $('#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate"); data.preventDefault() // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :) $('#content blockquote img').remove(); }); Fancybox.bind( '#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]', { groupAll: true, } ); }); }); } // Chat fancybox - fires when chat module loaded and AJAX calls new chat $(document).ready(function() { $(window).on('action:chat.loaded', function(data) { // >>> Se limiter au contenu principal uniquement <<< $('#content img').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() { var newHref = $(this).attr("src"); $(this).wrap("<a class='fancybox' href='" + newHref + "'/>"); $('#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate"); data.preventDefault(); // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :) $('#content blockquote img').remove(); }); Fancybox.bind( '#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]', { groupAll: true, } ); }); }); For the logo, I must use overflow: visible !important; on [component="brand/logo"] /* --- Logo --- */ [component="brand/logo"] { max-height: 50px; width: auto; height: auto; max-width: 100%; display: block; object-fit: contain; object-position: left center; overflow: visible !important; } Better result !!

    There’s still some very minor bugs in the two themes (light and dark) but these will be resolved in the coming days. Some are specific to firefox, and well require special attention, but will still be resolved nonetheless.
