Unable to change icon in NodeBB navigation

    I got hit with this today. As I have a Pro subscription to Font Awesome, this allows me to use a much wider range of fonts. Unfortunately, NodeBB only seems to list the free fonts, so in order to use the Pro icons, you have to manually type the font name you want (leave the fa- part off, as it’s not needed).

    No issues, so I went ahead and typed in the name. Below is the result

    Now, despite the icon not showing here, it does once you save and reload the site. Great - problem solved then?

    Yes - until you want to change the icon back…

    Highlight over an unchanged icon, and you’ll see the mouse pointer change meaning there is a link behind it

    However, hover over one you’ve changed by typing in the value manually, and you’ll see the link is gone

    Panic stations… headless chicken… major cussing session… No - there is a way out

    Fire up the dev tools (F12 for console), and press the select tool. Now select the element with the missing link

    In the resultant element list, follow the HTML until you reach

    2eedea09-2675-4fe0-a28d-a89ff29dc4f3-image.png

    change-icon-link hidden

    Now delete the hidden part, so you are left with just change-icon-link and press enter

    You’ll see that the alt text appears for the image, which is enough for you to be able to click the anchor, and change the icon

    There you go. Now enjoy how smug you feel that you’ve sorted this problem yourself 🙂

    @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.

    @baris said: You should change your selectors so it doesn’t look at the entire document. You probably only want to apply fancybox to stuff inside the #content element which is what changes when the user navigates around the page. So use $('#content a').... for your selectors then the forum logo in the header won’t be selected. I modified the JS Fancybox code now and this code and it seem better // --------------------------------------------- // Fancybox Media Reader (Without Website Logo) // --------------------------------------------- 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() { $('#content a').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() { $('#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate"); }); }); }); } if (top.location.pathname !== '/login') { $(document).ready(function() { $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) { $('#content a').not('.logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() { $('#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate"); data.preventDefault() // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :) $('#content blockquote img').remove(); }); Fancybox.bind( '#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content 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) { // >>> Se limiter au contenu principal uniquement <<< $('#content 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 + "'/>"); $('#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate"); data.preventDefault(); // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :) $('#content blockquote img').remove(); }); Fancybox.bind( '#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]', { groupAll: true, } ); }); }); For the logo, I must use overflow: visible !important; on [component="brand/logo"] /* --- Logo --- */ [component="brand/logo"] { max-height: 50px; width: auto; height: auto; max-width: 100%; display: block; object-fit: contain; object-position: left center; overflow: visible !important; } Better result !!
