    Oh really ?
    That would be super cool 🙂

    Have 2 versions maybe. One adapted to your personalized code and one adapted to Harmony (without customizing the appearance of topics (stock))

    I’m probably asking too much 🙂

    Nope. Not at all. I’m fact, developing one from stock Harmony is probably a better idea as it’ll work out of the box.

    Leave it with me.

    I’ve set my DEV environment to vanilla and will develop a working solution for that.

    Hi All,

    Some very early (subject to the odd bug) code released in DEV. You will need an account there - let me know if you need a password reset

    https://sudonix.dev/topic/331/how-to-install-a-self-hosted-instance-of-iframely-for-use-with-nodebb

    This code is quite complex, and leverages some interesting CSS classes. The most important change is that it removes the stock timeline bar, and will replace it with it’s own. This is for a variety of reasons - mostly around cumulative layout shift and pseudo elements being used in the stock CSS.

    @DownPW It only triggers at 1200px and above - do you have your browser size set smaller?

    Just added some transition effects. Note that depending on how many elements there are on the screen, this might cause layout shift.

    @DownPW can you log back into DEV and try again? Should be working now.

    Here’s a video of the threading code working on stock Harmony on NodeBB.

    However, it’s important to note that the timeline bar is removed and recreated. There is a good reason for this, as without taking this route, it would mean that the timeline bar will look out of place. It’s certainly possible to use the existing bar and use a variety of CSS to move it around, although this is VERY inconsistent in my testing, and lands up being far too complex when it comes to having multiple CSS classes that do not include a specific scenario etc.

    In this case, it’s so much quicker to hide and replace the existing one - we do this in the default view also with the threaded view disabled, and I’m sure you won’t notice the difference 🙂 For obvious reasons, this code is configured to only fire on displays of 1200px or more - obviously, firing on a mobile device wouldn’t look very good at all.

    Here’s the video

    If you like what you see, here’s the code.

    https://github.com/phenomlab/nodebb-harmony-threading

    Final note - The code you see in the video is designed to work with stock Harmony. The code running on Sudonix is VERY different and uses a variety of CSS to render the view you see here. It’s “possible” to emulate this look, although it does mean that you will have to replace your custom CSS with that of Sudonix.

    Very cool like as already said above and a big thanks for hard work (I see the th function.js and woowwww 🙂 )

    I test it now and I have see this with plugin user-browsers :

    Do you know where it could come from?

    This also breaks the display of the site title

    Can we do the same thing but without expanding the topic toolbar on header ?


    EDIT :

    I see that you seem put other things in the function.js on github like banner, logo, fancybox… 🙂
    I said to myself that I found this file way too long without asking too many questions !

    –> But I have the bug display with user browsers plugin which I will try to solve

    @crazycells pleasure. Using percentages makes much more sense in this case. It’s the same argument with px vs pt vs em with fonts, margins, padding, etc., in the sense that em is generally preferred over px and pt https://stackoverflow.com/questions/609517/why-em-instead-of-px

    @Teemberland great spot ! You should create a PR for that so they can include it in the official repository. Just be aware that any subsequent releases will overwrite your fix without the PR.

    @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.
