What is this bar called?

Solved Customisation
  • @DownPW it can easily be reverted, but I don’t want to maintain two sets of code. I’ll defer to others here for that final decision as I know it did cause some confusion.

  • no problem dude @phenomlab 🙂
    I put a modification here that seems to work as a reminder if you don’t mind.

    –> If yes, you can delete it.

    use $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, '300'); to smoothly scroll the page to the top when the #pageUp button is clicked. This code will provide a smooth scrolling effect from the bottom to the top of the page without reloading it.

    What do you think of this?

    // Scroll to top function
    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
        var matched = false;
        $(document).ready(function() {
            var pageUp = $('#pageUp');
            var bar = $('.reading-meter');
            var perWidth = $('.reading-meter').width();
            
            // Main progressbar function
            function pageScroller() {
                var winScroll = document.body.scrollTop || document.documentElement.scrollTop;
                var height = document.documentElement.scrollHeight - document.documentElement.clientHeight;
                var scrolled = (winScroll / height) * 100;
    
                document.getElementById("progress-bar").style.width = parseFloat(scrolled).toFixed(0) + "%";
                $('#percentage').val(parseFloat(scrolled).toFixed(0) + "%");
    
                // Prevent the mouse scroll wheel from scrolling down after the pageUp button is clicked
                if ($('#pageUp').is(':focus')) {
                    event.preventDefault();
                }
            }
    
            // Bind the pageScroller function to the window's scroll event
            $(window).scroll(function() {
                pageScroller();
            });
    
            // Check the URL and composer visibility separately from the scroll event
            function checkURL() {
                var thisURL = window.location.href;
                var checkArray = ["topic", "notifications", "user"];
                var isFound = false;
                
                for (var i = 0, len = checkArray.length; i < len; i++) {
                    if (thisURL.indexOf(checkArray[i]) > -1) {
                        isFound = true;
                        break;
                    }
                }
                
                return isFound;
            }
    
            // Function to update visibility based on URL and composer
            function updateVisibility() {
                if (checkURL()) {
                    bar.removeClass('show');

                        pageUp.addClass('show');
                    } else {

  • @DownPW looks good to me.

  • @DownPW Just to circle back to this, the decision to reload the page instead of multiple scrolling / clicking was based on this discussion, which I’m including here for brevity

  • @phenomlab said in What is this bar called?:

    @DownPW you are right - it used to scroll to the top but I changed it because “scroll top” actually only applied to what was in the DOM at the time meaning that as data was being added, the “top” position was no longer a true representation and so the button had to be clicked multiple times to reach the “real” top.

    you are right @phenomlab the code I gave yesterday works but does the same thing as you described.

    here a mix of the 2 (scroll to top & scroll to top with refresh)

    // Scroll to top function (classic scroll to top)
    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
        var matched = false;
        $(document).ready(function() {
            var pageUp = $('#pageUp');
            var bar = $('.reading-meter');
            var perWidth = $('.reading-meter').width();
            
            // Main progressbar function
            function pageScroller() {
                var winScroll = document.body.scrollTop || document.documentElement.scrollTop;
                var height = document.documentElement.scrollHeight - document.documentElement.clientHeight;
                var scrolled = (winScroll / height) * 100;
    
                document.getElementById("progress-bar").style.width = parseFloat(scrolled).toFixed(0) + "%";
                $('#percentage').val(parseFloat(scrolled).toFixed(0) + "%");
    
                // Prevent the mouse scroll wheel from scrolling down after the pageUp button is clicked
                if ($('#pageUp').is(':focus')) {
                    event.preventDefault();
                }
            }
    
            // Bind the pageScroller function to the window's scroll event
            $(window).scroll(function() {
                pageScroller();
            });
    
            // Check the URL and composer visibility separately from the scroll event
            function checkURL() {
                var thisURL = window.location.href;
                var checkArray = ["topic", "notifications", "user"];
                var isFound = false;
                
                for (var i = 0, len = checkArray.length; i < len; i++) {
                    if (thisURL.indexOf(checkArray[i]) > -1) {
                        isFound = true;
                        break;
                    }
                }
                
                return isFound;
            }
    
            // Function to update visibility based on URL and composer
            function updateVisibility() {
                if (checkURL()) {
                    bar.removeClass('show');

            var pageUp = $('#pageUp');
            var bar = $('.reading-meter');
            var perWidth = $('.reading-meter').width();

                    event.preventDefault();
                }
            }
    
            // Bind the pageScroller function to the window's scroll event
            $(window).scroll(function() {
                pageScroller();
            });
    
            // Function to update visibility based on URL and composer
            function updateVisibility() {
                // No need to check composer visibility for these routes
                if ($(window).scrollTop() > 0) {
                    bar.addClass('show');
                    pageUp.addClass('show');
                } else {
                    bar.removeClass('show');
                    pageUp.removeClass('show');
                }
            }
    
            // Call updateVisibility initially
            updateVisibility();
    
            // Bind updateVisibility function to the window's scroll event
            $(window).scroll(function() {
                updateVisibility();
            });
    
            // Scroll to refresh when #pageUp is clicked
            $(document).on("click", "#pageUp", function(e) {
                ajaxify.refresh();
                $('#progress-bar').width(0);
                pageUp.removeClass('show');
            });
        }
    });
    

    I found it interesting to keep the scroll effect on the home page

    The scroll to top with refresh is applied on the routes indicated in the script (/recent, /unread, etc.). The classic scroll to top applies to other pages and the scroll to top is disabled in chat, etc…

    For the previous script, I used the code from your v2 and doing myself but I’m not being a good JS developer, so this time I asked to ChatGPT to help me, sorry !

    I tested the code and it seems to work correctly without any bugs but could you check @phenomlab if this seems correct to you even if the code works?

    A machine will not replace humans in this regard. At least for now 🙂

  • @DownPW 🙂 Love it - let me try this out!

    EDIT - Tried it, and there’s a couple of bugs. For example, if you use a custom page, scroll to the bottom, then use the back to top button, you have to scroll the mouse wheel down 16 times (if you do it quickly - depending on intervals it can be much less) before it’ll work properly. This is animation jitter as far as I can see where the animation does not complete on time and is therefore stuck in a loop.

    Have a look yourself here and see if you get the same experience

  • Seems you can fix this by using e.preventDefault() see below

        // Scroll to top when #pageUp is clicked
        $(document).on("click", "#pageUp", function(e) {
            e.preventDefault(); // Prevent default behavior
            $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, '300'); // Animate scrolling to top
            $('#progress-bar').width(0);
            pageUp.removeClass('show');
        });
    
  • Not test on custom page. Test ASAP

  • @DownPW said in What is this bar called?:

    Not test on custom page. Test ASAP

    The above code change I provided seems to resolve the issue.

  • This is good 👍

    @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.

    The real issue here is that most people consider forums to be “dead” in the sense that nobody uses them anymore, and social media groups have taken their place. Their once dominant stance in the 90’s and early 00’s will never be experienced again, but having said that, there are a number of forums that did in fact survive the social media onslaught, and still enjoy a large user base.

    Forums tend to be niche. One that immediately sticks out is Reddit - despite looking like it was designed in the 80s, it still has an enormous user base. Another is Stack Overflow, which needs no introduction. The key to any forum is the content it offers, and the more people whom contribute in terms of posting , the more popular and widely respected it becomes as a reliable source of information.

    Forums are still intensely popular with gamers, alongside those that offer tips on hacking etc.

    @DownPW This is now resolved. The issue was an incorrect URL specified in the Nodebb plugin. I’ve corrected this, and now it works as intended.
