  • this is very cool. Thanks @phenomlab

  • 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

    @DownPW hmm. Not sure why I copied all of that code, but will change asap. I also have a fix for the browsing users plugin issue but didn’t include it because others might not be using it.

    I’ll get to this as soon as I can.

    EDIT - Done
    EDIT 2 - I just noticed on your DEV box that you have (thanks to me - sorry) a ton of JS code you don’t need. You should probably clean that up.

    Yes, but then you’ll have elements that are wider than the sticky bar which looks odd on scroll.

    Yes, just fixed it in your dev environment. I assumed (probably incorrectly) that people may not have this installed, so omitted it. I fixed it in prod because I do have it there, but wanted to keep DEV as vanilla as possible.

    I’ll need to write a function that checks for the existence of this plugin then determines where to inject the toggle switch

    For now, see the below

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul .hidden-xs').append(threadView);
                    // If you have browsing users plugin, comment out the above line and uncomment the one below
                    //$('.topic .sticky-tools ul [component="topic/browsing-users"]:last-of-type').append(threadView);
    

    Result (might need some position tweaking…)

    no I need it 😉

    Could you still explain to me how to obtain this result so that I can see what I prefer?

    Yes, of course. Locate the below block in the CSS, and comment out margin-left: -8%;

      .topic .threaded.sticky-tools { 
         margin-left: -8%; 
         margin-top: 0px; 
         margin-bottom: 0px; 
         transition: margin-left 0.3s ease, margin-right 0.3s ease; 
       }
    
  • Great, thank you Mark !

    –> I also have a little suggestion to add a tooltip on the button mouse hover like "Thread view On and thread View Off depending on the state or maybe just one?

    What do you think about it ?

    Great idea. I’ll add that.

  • maybe with an HTML SPAN class like this ?

    <span class="title-tooltip top" tooltip-text="Thread View On">
    
  • maybe with an HTML SPAN class like this ?

    <span class="title-tooltip top" tooltip-text="Thread View On">
    

    @DownPW yes, that should work, although probably better to use one tooltip with on/off text.

  • Small specific request.

    I try to adapt the code to my environment.

    I modified the background of the following classes:

    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline .timeline-event,
    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline > [component="post/placeholder"],
    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline > [component="post"] {
      border-left: none;
      transition: transform 0.3s ease !important;
      background: var(--bs-body-bg);
      background: var(--bs-body-navbar);
    }
    
    .post-container.threaded {
      background: var(--bs-body-bg) !important;
      background: var(--bs-body-navbar)!important;
    }
    
    li.pt-4.self-post:not(.self-post .topic-owner-post).threaded {
      transform: translateX(0px) !important;
      transition: transform 0.3s ease !important;
      background: var(--bs-body-bg);
      background: var(--bs-body-navbar)!important;
      padding-right: 30px;
    }
    

    and other code, for example :

    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline [component="topic/event"].timeline-event, .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline [component="topic/necro-post"].timeline-event {
        background: transparent;
    }
    
    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline .timeline-event:last-child, .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline>[component="post/placeholder"]:last-child, .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline>[component=post]:last-child {
        margin-left: 0.5rem;
    }
    

    When I activate mode it works without problem but it does not disappear when I deactivate the mode. (Return to vanilla)

    I think I understand by reading the code that it is necessary to specify the classes chnaged in the function.js (with add .threaded) but I don’t really see how to add more

    @DownPW any reason as to why you’ve defined background twice ?

    See

    background: var(--bs-body-bg);
    background: var(--bs-body navbar)!important;
    
  • I have just forget to delete the first but this nothing change.

    @DownPW just curious 🤭

    The second would override the first anyway.

    I’m in transit currently and not in front of a pc but will review this as soon as I can.

    @cagatay The most reliable way to upgrade Node.js on Ubuntu depends on how you originally installed it. Method 1: Using NVM (Recommended) If you already use Node Version Manager (NVM), upgrading is simple. NVM allows you to keep both versions and switch between them if needed. Install Node 22: nvm install 22 Switch to Node 22: nvm use 22 Set it as your default: nvm alias default 22 Verify the change: node -v Method 2: Using NodeSource (PPA) If you installed Node.js via apt using the NodeSource repository, you need to update the repository script to point to the new version. Remove the old NodeSource list (optional but cleaner): sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list Download and run the NodeSource setup script for Node 22: curl -fsSL [https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x](https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x) | sudo -E bash - Install/Upgrade Node.js: sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Verify the installation: node -v Method 3: Using the ‘n’ Package If you have npm installed, you can use the n interactive manager. Clear the npm cache: sudo npm cache clean -f Install the ‘n’ helper: sudo npm install -g n Install Node 22: sudo n 22 Update your shell: hash -r Troubleshooting Permission Denied: If you see permission errors using Method 2 or 3, ensure you are using sudo. Path Issues: If node -v still shows version 20 after upgrading via NVM, restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc. Conflicts: Avoid mixing these methods. If you switch from apt to nvm, it is best to sudo apt remove nodejs first to avoid path conflicts.

    @phenomlab said: @DownPW thanks for spotting (and fixing) this issue. I admittedly threw this together quickly for @jac some time ago, and it hasn’t had any love since. If OK with you, I’ll merge these changes into the github repository? No problem dude

    @eeeee said in restarting nodebb on boot: can I just run nodebb under nodemon for auto restarts? It’s a better method. Nodemon just looks for file system changes and would effectively die if the server was rebooted meaning you’d have to start it again anyway. Systemd is the defacto standard which is how the operating system interacts in terms of services, scheduled tasks etc.
