    Here I am again Mark @phenomlab 😉

    I am contributing to this code to add a tooltip to the button.

    The position can be changed according to your wishes.
    For my part, I prefer to put it at the bottom because if we put it at the top it can be annoying.

    Tell me what you think about it ?

    function threaded() {
        $(document).ready(function () {
            // Check if the screen width is 1200px or more
            if ($(window).width() >= 1200) {
                // Check if the dropdown already exists
                if ($('#enableThreading').length === 0) {
                    var threadView = $('<div class="threads-wrapper"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-bars left"></i><form class="form"><div class="form-check form-switch sticky-tools-bar"> \
                        <input class="form-check-input" id="enableThreading" type="checkbox" data-field="enableThreading"> \
                        <label class=" d-none d-md-inline fw-semibold" for="enableThreading"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-bars-staggered right"></i></label> \
                    </div></form></div>');
                    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul [component="topic/browsing-users"]:last-of-type').append(threadView);
                    // Check if there's a stored state for the checkbox and update it
                    var storedState = localStorage.getItem('enableThreadingState');
                    if (storedState === 'true') {
                        $('#enableThreading').prop('checked', true);
                    }

    @DownPW looks good to me 😀 I started to write this a few days ago, but got sidetracked and never finished it.

    Good job.

    @DownPW yes, it was styled for this site because it uses heavily modified css.

    I note, however, that here on Sudonix, our own posts and those of other users are not shifted (to the left). Only those of the author of the topics are.

    In the code you provide on Github, the author’s posts and those of others are shifted (to the left), only our own posts are not.

    I do not know if it’s normal.

    It actually seems logical to me that only our own posts are not shifted to just better identify our own posts

    @DownPW Correct. The design in DEV and the code on Git reflects the points you raised, which is why it was developed from scratch in DEV and was not a copy of PROD. It’s a matter of personal taste 🙂 You can fairly easily change the cosmetic behavior to suit your needs - it’s not set in stone.

    @DownPW Maybe go one better perhaps, and toggle the on/off state depending on the switch selection (I’m doing that here)

    @DownPW This part?

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

    Yes, I need to fix that! Thanks for the reminder.

    For anyone else browsing here who has tried the code in git but wants it to look exactly like Sudonix, please note that this code is not public because it is heavily adapted to match the layout of this site. There are some Sudonix “clones” around so you can actually have this code if you really want it, but it comes with some conditions;

    1. You should consider buying me a coffee - see “Buy me a Coffee” link
    2. You have to provide a backlink to this site from your own - it needs to be visible and cannot be hidden - obviously, I can’t (and won’t) make you do this, but it’s courteous to recognize the original author - particularly when hundreds of hours were spent creating all of this eye candy 🙂

    Hello @phenomlab

    I see this, when someone composes, it is displayed via the plugin like this (To the left of the Thread View button.). I do not know if it’s normal or if it is better to put it on the right like the others ?

    or myself for example :

    or myself for example :

    @DownPW Mmmm - I thought that this would happen. In your js function, can you locate this line

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul .hidden-xs').append(threadView);
    

    Replace it with

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul.list-unstyled').append(threadView);

    The issue here is that the hidden-xs class is being manipulated by js which forces the position and does not use relative. This new code should hopefully work around that. It will change the placement of the threaded toggle, but for the better I think. If this works, I’ll commit the code to git

    I don’t use this line, I commented out this line as stipulated in the script

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul .hidden-xs').append(threadView);
    

    But use this line :

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul [component="topic/browsing-users"]:last-of-type').append(threadView);

    maybe change for this ?

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul.list-unstyled [component="topic/browsing-users"]:last-of-type').append(threadView);

    @DownPW sorry, use this one.

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul.list-unstyled').append(threadView);
    

    Replace any existing line

    @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 It’s the best it’s ever been to be honest. I’ve used a myriad of systems in the past - most notably, WordPress, and then Flarum (which for SEO, was absolutely dire - they never even had SEO out of the box, and relied on a third party extension to do it), and NodeBB easily fares the best - see below example https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asudonix.org&oq=site%3Asudonix.org&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j69i58j69i60l2.9039j0j3&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#ip=1 However, this was not without significant effort on my part once I’d migrated from COM to ORG - see below posts https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17286/google-crawl-error-after-site-migration/17?_=1688461250365 And also https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/221027803?hl=en&msgid=221464164 It was painful to say the least - as it turns out, there was an issue in NodeBB core that prevented spiders from getting to content, which as far as I understand, is now fixed. SEO in itself is a dark art - a black box that nobody really fully understands, and it’s essentially going to boil down to one thing - “content”. Google’s algorithm for indexing has also changed dramatically over the years. They only now crawl content that has value, so if it believes that your site has nothing to offer, it will simply skip it.

    @eeeee if you’re using the console, you could try node app.js > app.log 2>&1 This would redirect stdout to a file named app.log and redirect stderr to stdout. I’m not sure about standard logging under NodeBB, but there is an error log located at logs/error.log. Failing that, you could always stop the NodeBB service then use ./nodebb dev from the console which would then provide debug output.
