  • Continuing my Widgets struggle here as although I asked about it on NodeBB forum, I still have remaining areas of confusion.
    I dont find the menu intuitive. In particular now Ive understood that the global .tpl will apply everywhere, are these Category / Topic settings irrelevant?

    Excuse the blurry photo, but what is the point of that
    Category 0
    Topic 0
    If its going to apply globally anyway?

    @Panda is there any reason not to include a screenshot rather than a photo of the screen? It’s a bit hard to decipher a blurry image 🙂

  • Apologies, was having technical difficulties with laptop with no PrtSrn button!

    Update
    There are tpl files for category and categories
    It seems this field works under category.tpl and not categories.tpl

    Im confused what the categories.tpl is for, but the category.tpl is working now, so problem solved

    @Panda category is for a category in its own, so for example, “fruit” whereas categories is the page that contains all categories as a list.

    @Panda said in Smart Widgets: So why is that, or conversely why would the function to expose username ever be required, as it seems app.user is already an available global object? 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

    @Panda said in Upgrade to NodeBB v3? 2BB or not 2BB, that is the question!: So although thats a plugin it has Widget like element and stopped working on the Theme change Which is normal based on the widgets being reset when you change themes.

    @cagatay Just add margin-left on the element like @phenomlab said to you : topic [component="post/parent"] { margin-left: 10px; } [image: 1669191112290-aa08c62b-4223-4cba-8c0f-c73d50474c0d-image.png] Maybe @phenomlab have a better way

    @eveh this might be a question for the NodeBB Devs themselves. In all honesty, I’m not entirely sure without having to research this myself.

    @phenomlab said in nodebb dropdown menu: @kurulumu-net You set it like the below example taken from this site [image: 1637939951821-aae36790-3257-4bb2-ad5a-0d744309876a-image.png] Which presents this [image: 1637939983445-77f47260-2941-4afe-9614-8e17dcfc8c19-image.png] Very interesting… I actually thought this wasn’t possible, as I remember it being asked in the NodeBB forum. Is this something new that’s been implemented? I’ll 100% be doing that when I’m on the laptop over the weekend.
