I believe Persona has its charm and will continue to be developed. you do not think so?

It’s a feeling I have, and in my experience, something I’ve seen many times. Persona was the default theme shipped with v2, and has been the mainstay of that version for a long time. However, things change, and by NodeBB’s own admission, it needed an update to bring it in line with modern layouts and mobile design. As you know, Harmony is not a fork, but a completely new design that also requires v3 for it to work at all.

To me, this is the final whistle for Persona. Harmony will supersede it in every way, and eventually, development will stall for the former product with all the focus being on Harmony itself. My view is that Persona will become a community fork to stop it from disappearing completely, but in the same vein, I think most (like me) will jump ship and move to Harmony.

Yes, I’m glad I’m not the only one to witness this. I am going to raise this with the NodeBB team

EDIT - raised in the v3 Bug thread

Ok, spun up the dev VM I started working on

And here’s a video of the reworked pagination / scroller utility I wrote that fires on pages

This was originally designed to work in tandem with the Persona scroller / navigation, but would be simple to convert to Harmony and BS5.

Today’s playground

Here’s a video… still needs a bit more work, but… Notice the newer scroll and progress bar I was talking about earlier…

Hello Mark,

I just tested the functioning of the scroll bar and I saw this bug:

https://i.imgur.com/VQw5zw5.mp4

It should be moved to the left so as not to encroach on the collapse button of the custom footer navbar.

Then, when we play with the collapse button of the custom footer navbar we should:

• When the custom footer navbar is deactivated: it sticks to the bottom right while not encroaching on the right sidebar. All this taking into account the collapse of the right sidebar (not obvious, I don’t know if I’m clear )

• When the custom footer navbar is activated: it moves just to the left of the floatright block or can be above the floatright block?

The solution may be less difficult to code would be to make a vertical scrollbar inside the right sidebar like in topics. There might be less to manage

Keep the good work my friend

@DownPW fixed in Dev. Have a look. Many improvements and I think you’ll like it. Try it on both desktop and mobile.

Nope. The newest version of Harmony appears to have the same pagination as Flarum and Discourse, so it’s been moved into the content area

@phenomlab

yessss fixed. Love it

@phenomlab

No javascript ?

I wanted to inspect the code but I can’t find any JS

[phenomlab]

@DownPW it’s definitely there. Won’t work without it

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

I guess, I don’t find it in inspector lol .I will search

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

Can I test it on my dev env ?

EDIT: I test it. If you don’t want tell me Mark

If I have problem, can I ask you @phenomlab ?

[phenomlab]

@DownPW no problems.

Seems I miss something @phenomlab but good start

EDIT: Maybe find

EDIT 2: @phenomlab

Find --> I have forget toAbove and toBottom css directives
It’s better now, just seems toBottom doesn’t work :

.toBottom {
  bottom: 0px !important;
  right: 0px!important;
}

.toAbove {
  bottom: -5px !important;
  right: 400px !important;
}

@DownPW likely you are missing z-index on that class. As you are using position: absolute the index is needed to bring that specific element forward. By default, it’ll sit behind the progress bar meaning it cannot be clicked, but can be seen.

@phenomlab

Thanks for your reply my friend

I will test tomorrow and again, it’s a very great job, I like it a lot.
