  • hi @phenomlab

    on v2.x , I have user online widget in my home page and I can center the widget like this :

    4df43aa7-122e-4696-b8e0-72fa48280350-image.png

    c6409e47-96b9-473b-8fe0-28ec73b050fa-image.png

    because we have a div by default on the widget

    I can’t do the same on v3.x

    Any idea how to get the same result ?

    Thanks Dude

    @DownPW I’d give the widget itself an id and then add custom css to that

    653aad37-edd8-4dee-a212-74a9249ea722-image.png

    div#onlineusers {
        left: 0;
        right: 0;
        margin: 0 auto;
        position: relative;
    }

  • @phenomlab

    Yep, it’s a good idea thanks to you but I’d like to display it without div card-header and body like the first screen

    @DownPW In that case, change the container code to

    9a2d4511-bf9b-42d0-8021-b6d47ec4ae1c-image.png

    <div id="onlineusers">{{body}}</div>
    

    And same CSS class

    div#onlineusers {
        justify-content: center;
        display: flex;
    }
    

    Then add padding and margin to suit

  • Perfect my friend 😉

  • Hello mark 🙂

    I wanted for test purposes, to put the welcome message in the Brand menu in the header widget.

    I commented in the footer widget the corresponding code then I added it in my brand header widget:

    <span id="thisuser" class="getUsername">, &nbsp;<a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span>
    

    I commented out the old CSS to add the new:

    /* Welcome Message Username on Header */
    span#thisuser {
         margin-top: 0.7rem;
         margin-left: 2px;
         margin-right:-2px;
         font-size: .875rem;
         line-height: 1.4rem;
         font-weight: 500;
    }
    

    So far everything is fine, the result is correct :

    4c4eedf9-e511-4e3c-acb8-0049035729a6-image.png

    But as soon as I select links in the left sidebar (home, recent, etc …), the message is added and displayed as many times as I select a link .

    Did I miss something or do you have an idea to solve this bug?

    @DownPW sorry for the delay. That is being caused by ajax which is adding another element each time data is being called. I’d need to see the entire code block where you are adding this to confirm, but from the video you provided, that’s typically caused by the above.

    You only need that specific function to run once at page load - it’s running each time data is being requested which explains the additions.

  • it’s just the brand HTML header widget, just add this code to him

    <span id="thisuser" class="getUsername">,  <a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span>]
    

    What do you want ? The HTML header widget on welcome message JS code ?

    EDIT : All code in PM

    @DownPW thanks. Can you try a theory for me and change that code so it looks like the below

    <span id="thisuserbrand" class="getUsername">,  <a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span>
    

    I expect this to return nothing, which will prove my theory around the Ajax calls.

  • Nope @phenomlab

    Same things, same problem

  • Nope @phenomlab

    Same things, same problem

    @DownPW then the problem isn’t the existing function. That ID I provided doesn’t exist anywhere and isn’t tied to any elements so should never trigger.

  • oups don’t know why I have used this code, replace by :

    <div class="getUsername">, <a href="/me"><span class="username"></span></a></div>
    

    But same problem

    <div class="getUsername">, <a href="/me"><span class="username"></span></a></div>
    

    But same problem

    @DownPW did you remove the original line from the footer before placing it in the brand header?

  • remove no, but commented like this

    <!-- <span id="thisuser" class="getUsername">,  <a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span> -->
    

    EDIT: test with remove = same

  • remove no, but commented like this

    <!-- <span id="thisuser" class="getUsername">,  <a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span> -->
    

    EDIT: test with remove = same

    @DownPW can you send me the footer function your are using. I’m 100% certain this is being caused by the ajax call.

  • remove no, but commented like this

    <!-- <span id="thisuser" class="getUsername">,  <a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span> -->
    

    EDIT: test with remove = same

    @DownPW can you change the top line of this function from

    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function (data) {
    

    To

    $(document).ready() {
    

    Save and let me know if this changes anything. The theory here is that the Ajax call in the top line causes the prepend to be executed multiple times

  • the code doesn’t work with this

  • the code doesn’t work with this

    @DownPW it should work once at least on site reload, no? Or does it crash?

  • no, doesn’t work and break theme and swatch applet

    image.png

  • no, doesn’t work and break theme and swatch applet

    image.png

    @DownPW that shouldn’t cause the error you are seeing there. It looks like that is from the previous function.

  • the previous function is just fancybox and nothing more :

    // Fancybox Media Reader
    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() {
                $('a').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() {
                    $('a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate");
                });
            });
        });
    }
    
    if (top.location.pathname !== '/login') {
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
                this.$('a').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() {
                    $('a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate");
                    data.preventDefault()
                    // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :)
                    $('blockquote img').remove();
                });
                Fancybox.bind(
                    'a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]', {
                        groupAll: true,
                    }
                );
            });
        });
    }
    
    // Chat fancybox - fires when chat module loaded and AJAX calls new chat
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:chat.loaded', function(data) {
                this.$('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 + "'/>");
                    $('a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate");
                    data.preventDefault();
                    // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :)
                    $('blockquote img').remove();
                });
                Fancybox.bind(
                    'a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]', {
                        groupAll: true,
                    }
                );
        });
    });
    

    the error above just appear wit hthe change of $(document).ready() {, no error with $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function (data) {

    @crazycells it is, yes - I think I’ll leave it as there is no specific PWA CSS classes I know of. Well, you could use something like the below, but this means multiple CSS files for different operating systems. /** * Determine the mobile operating system. * This function returns one of 'iOS', 'Android', 'Windows Phone', or 'unknown'. * * @returns {String} */ function getMobileOperatingSystem() { var userAgent = navigator.userAgent || navigator.vendor || window.opera; // Windows Phone must come first because its UA also contains "Android" if (/windows phone/i.test(userAgent)) { return "Windows Phone"; } if (/android/i.test(userAgent)) { return "Android"; } if (/iPad|iPhone|iPod/.test(userAgent) && !window.MSStream) { return "iOS"; } return "unknown"; // return “Android” - one should either handle the unknown or fallback to a specific platform, let’s say Android } Once you’re in that rabbit hole, it’s impossible to get out of it.

    @crazycells yes, I’m aware of that. Need to fix EDIT- fixed. Caused by the same CSS that is used to absolutely position the “verified” group badge in the posts view. Amended this CSS so that is specifically targets the post stream as below li[component="post"] a[href*="/groups/verified"] { position: absolute !important; left: 8px; z-index: 2; margin-top: 1px; border-radius: 999px !important; line-height: 14px; display: block; height: 22px; margin-left: 0px !important; }

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored.

    @riekmedia I’ve applied some new CSS to your site. Can you reload the page and try again ? For the record, this is what I added #footer { background: #2d343e; border-top: 4px solid #2d343e; font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 70px; padding: 80px 0 0; position: relative; clear: both; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 1000; margin-left: -15px; margin-right: -338px; } The /categories page seems a bit messed up, so looking at that currently EDIT - issued some override CSS in the CATEGORIES widget <!--- CSS fix for overspill on /categories page - DO NOT DELETE --> <style> #footer { margin-right: -45px; } </style> That should resolve the /categories issue.
