  • @phenomlab Yep but that don’t work with css File ?

    I had tried in the past to create a theme with the official nodebb doc and I never succeeded

    @DownPW I’ll need to look at the structure, but I can’t see why not.

    @phenomlab

    I also see another problem with this selector : he display all the default themes.
    We should be able to remove all those present by default and display only those we need

    in addition as soon as you do a CTRL + F5 or refresh web page with F5, it removes the theme lol

    @DownPW yes, I noticed that also. Looks like session data isn’t being retained.

  • @DownPW I’m running Harmony now on https://sudonix.dev 🙂 There is no swatch functionality from what I can see, so the code we developed is still up for the taking.

    thanks for this one 👍
    I could check it more seriously…

  • Just looking through my code here, and provided that Persona as a NodeBB theme continues to be maintained, then the conversion of my code to v3 is a relatively simple affair meaning I could continue with my Swatch code without too much effort.

    Essentially, the move from v2 to v3 is basically the migration of bootstrap from v3 to v5. I suppose much of this depends on the future of Persona…

    EDIT - I’ll just leave this here

    Do you think I could go through your swatch rather than the one I have?

    Because I don’t believe you released your code here. Whether ?

    Either way, I know I’ll have to start all over again in these 2 cases

    @DownPW Yes, of course. However, because of the change of elements, I have to re-write most of it. In addition, only one theme will be supported - either Persona, or Harmony. If we go the Harmony route (which is highly likely) then virtually all of the swatch needs to be re-written including LESS etc.

    I don’t want to support more than one theme and would ideally stick to Harmony.

    Yes indeed, we have to focus on one main theme and not two. (Persona or Harmony)

    I don’t yet have the opinions of the other members of my team but since it’s I who will then develop the themes compatible with Harmony, I think that we will go towards the road of Harmony

    If you are ready to share your codes once finished and explain how to use it, it’s really a good thing and I already thank you in advance 😉

    More than happy to do so. In fact, BS5 makes it so much easier as LESS variables are being used, which we simply target and change. Far LESS (pun intended) work !

    @DownPW I’ve started development work on Harmony in v3 and should have some beta code for you to test soon. Stay tuned!

  • hello mark

    here is my tutorial for install V3.00 but it’s for alpha3.0 like you see in command.

    cd /path/to/your/nodebb
    git rev-parse HEAD  # save this value in case you need to roll back  
    git fetch && git checkout bootstrap5
    git reset --hard v3.0.0-alpha.3
    npm config set legacy-peer-deps true
    ./nodebb upgrade -mi
    ./nodebb build
    ./nodebb start
    

    – My questions :

    • How to know the name of the last version for V3 for install it (here is alpha.3) and adapt cli command above ?

    • How to upgrade the dev environment ? I know when Harmony it’s upgrade, we must upgrade boottrap 5

    – Here the command to upgrade bootstrap5 :

    git fetch && git checkout bootstrap5
    

    Many thanks

  • Been playing with the user profile page this afternoon. Thought I’d post a video as I’m really pleased with how this came out

    @phenomlab oh no, that is 1 cent on the video, but you are right, symbols are similar… I just converted it to $1 , since it is more intuitive in daily life…

    @DownPW Yes, it is. It’s set far too low meaning other elements with a higher preference will sit over the top of it.

    @Panda as, yes, now I understand and that makes 100% sense. It means those who get down voted can still have an opinion and use common services. And yes, you’re right. Rather than down vote, just ignore if you don’t agree.

    @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.

    The real issue here is that most people consider forums to be “dead” in the sense that nobody uses them anymore, and social media groups have taken their place. Their once dominant stance in the 90’s and early 00’s will never be experienced again, but having said that, there are a number of forums that did in fact survive the social media onslaught, and still enjoy a large user base. Forums tend to be niche. One that immediately sticks out is Reddit - despite looking like it was designed in the 80s, it still has an enormous user base. Another is Stack Overflow, which needs no introduction. The key to any forum is the content it offers, and the more people whom contribute in terms of posting , the more popular and widely respected it becomes as a reliable source of information. Forums are still intensely popular with gamers, alongside those that offer tips on hacking etc.
