    @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,

                    $(this).wrap("<a class='fancybox' href='" + newHref + "'/>");
                    $('a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate");

    @DownPW very odd. I’ll have a look at this directly on your dev site tomorrow morning to see why this is.

    EDIT - this is now fixed. I looked at the code, and I was right that it should work, and only execute once 🙂 - not sure what happened there.

    067250ba-7af1-479f-a1d0-74cb4bfd83e2-image.png

    EDIT2 - I absolutely love this design, and am stealing it 🙂 Such a clever way of depicting colour in the theme, and I’m going to make it dynamic also so that the colours change if the theme css does.

    ⚠️ hmmm not, almost fixed @phenomlab !
    It’s ok for duplicate ajax problem but not fixed for the the footer image : It’s appear one time and if you go to another section (like recent or unread for example), the image on footer don’t appear
    Same in incognito mode.

    Thank you !
    –> I already told you, my code is your code 😉

    Thinking about it, I found this idea elsewhere but I don’t really know where 🙂
    I just added a rotation effect on it and adapted it to the dropdown of the brand menu widget.


    You talk about making it dynamic but I don’t really see what you mean since the theme colors represented do not change.
    Unless you want to automate it. Genre detects the 2 main color types of the theme according to 2 values/declarations present in the css file.

    I kind of expected that because the footer image relies on an ajax reload to determine the time, then work out which image to display based on that. The real problem here is that the prepend is being called on each request, and because it’s an prepend, you are seeing multiple copies.

    One way to fix this is to delete the element and recreate it, but that is horribly inefficient 😕

    I’ve modified the function to include a check to see if the containing div is empty or not - if it is, we add the icon and message - if it’s already there, we skip it

        // Test to see if the DIV containing the icon and message is empty. If it is, insert icon and message
        if ($('#busername').length === 0) {
            $('.getUsername').prepend("<div id='busername'><i id='thisicon' class='" + theicon + "'></i></div>" + themessage);
        } else {
            // nothing to do here :)
        }
    

    (Note that this has been added to the existing function)

    And some minor css which allows us to float the new div so that it displays inline

    // Inline display fix for Welcome DIV
    div#busername {
        display: inline;
    }

    Simple enough -you just reference the variables, but admittedly, you’d need to refactor some code to make this work transiently, so it’s probably not a very good idea. I suppose it really depends on how often you decide to revamp your themes - in which case, it would make sense.

    I just don’t like static variables 🙂

    It doesn’t bother me too much personally because I’m not ready to modify the themes in depth, especially the main colors, but what you say makes sense.
    It’s always better to automate when you can.

    I’ll see what you can do ha ha 🙂

    In any case, I’m happy to bring my stone to the building 🙂

    @DownPW You’ll need to restructure the HTML first - don’t use nbsp; - you should always use margin or padding 🙂 Also, you are using the same ID multiple times which will cause you problems with markup as it is not unique.

    Try this

    <li><a class="menubrand dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-scroll text-primary menubrand"></i>Règlements</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-newspaper menubrand"></i>Annonces</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-people text-primary menubrand"></i>Team</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx""><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-database text-primary menubrand"></i>Tutoriels</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-bug text-primary menubrand"></i>Bug Report</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-brands fa-wikipedia-w text-primary menubrand"></i>Wiki</a></li>
    

    Then use this CSS

    i.menubrand {
        max-width: 25px;
        width: 25px;
        margin-right: 10px;
        text-align: center;
        vertical-align: middle;
    }
    

    Should give you this

  • hmmm ok I will test asap thanks 😉
    Why have you the second icon with no colors : odd no ?

  • Edit :

    Ok, find the problem, second line have no text-primary and the first line have a different a class.

    – Better like this I think :

    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-scroll text-primary menubrand"></i>Règlements</a></li> 
    <li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-newspaper text-primary menubrand"></i>Annonces</a></li>

    Just this bug.

    How can I change the icon color of the active page? as you can see, the icon is not visible when we are on the selected page
    I don’t want to change background active primary color but for example change icon to white like the text or other color

    @DownPW I just checked this, and it looks as though you are using using a transparent colour to work around the hover issue?

  • @phenomlab

    Not at all 🙂
    The problem occurs on the left sidebar but not in the Brand menu.

  • You must have a cache problem because the CSS is not even active on your image 😉

    The problem appears on the current page and not the hover

    For example, use the menu to go to the Rules page. Once on the rules page, reuse the menu to see the bug

    @kadir-ay-0 marking as resolved based on https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17109/manual-build-a-night-mode-for-harmony/5 Please do not raise requests in two places - here and the NodeBB forums. All this does is create unnecessary load for both parties.

    @Panda said in Nodebb design: One negative is not being so good for SEO as more Server side rendered forums, if web crawlers dont run the JS to read the forum. From recollection, Google and Bing have the capability to read and process JS, although it’s not in the same manner as a physical person will consume content on a page. It will be seen as plain text, but will be indexed. However, it’s important to note that Yandex and Baidu will not render JS, although seeing as Google has a 90% share of the content available on the web in terms of indexing, this isn’t something you’ll likely lose sleep over. @Panda said in Nodebb design: The “write api” is preferred for server-to-server interactions. This is mostly based around overall security - you won’t typically want a client machine changing database elements or altering data. This is why you have “client-side” which could be DOM manipulation etc, and “server-side” which performs more complex operations as it can communicate directly with the database whereas the client cannot (and if it can, then you have a serious security flaw). Reading from the API is perfectly acceptable on the client-side, but not being able to write. A paradigm here would be something like SNMP. This protocol exists as a UDP (UDP is very efficient, as it is “fire and forget” and does not wait for a response like TCP does) based service which reads performance data from a remote source, thus enabling an application to parse that data for use in a monitoring application. In all cases, SNMP access should be “RO” (Read Only) and not RW (Read Write). It is completely feasible to assume complete control over a firewall for example by having RW access to SNMP and then exposing it to the entire internet with a weak passphrase. You wouldn’t do it (at least, I hope you wouldn’t) and the same ethic applies to server-side rendering and the execution of commands.

    @mike-jones Yes, you’ll typically see this type of behaviour if there is another style that has higher priority in the sense that yours will be overridden. Using !important will override the higher preference, but should be used sparingly rather than everywhere.
