Switch between list and card view function
-
The only feasible way to do this is to increase the
heightandmax-heightof the card itself by20px. This has been applied to the view, and effective now. -

I also wonder about the selection of topics if we use the subject tools on the administrator side, does it work? (You know, the little selection check mark)

@DownPW Yes, that still works. A small cosmetic issue with the selection box placement which I need to fix, but…
Moved the positioning of the checkbox to the bottom left. Why not the top right? Because that means we have to truncate the
headerwhich makes it look odd - it’s width overlaps the checkbox, and evenz-indexhas no marked effect withposition.

Base code release below. WARNING - this code is stable, but still in beta meaning that there may be bugs. I think I’ve resolved most of them, so report any you find in this thread please.
Instructions
- Copy all of the code in
functions.jsand append this toAdmin->Appearance->Custom Content->Custom Javascriptand ensure you change thevar href = "/path/to/card.css";variable located within thefunctions.jsfile so that it points to the actual location where you stored the file - for example:var href = "/assets/card.css"; - Ensure Custom JS is enabled, and save
- Copy the
card.cssfile to your hosting ideally in thepublicpath inside yourNodeBBfile structure. - Reload the site and test
You should see the toggle button appear in the card list view
IMPORTANT: Your CSS layout is likely to be vastly different to that of Sudonix (there are some exceptions where sites that I have prior approved have the same layout - you know who you are), and this means you should first deploy this into a test environment and modify the layout so that it fits your site.
I will probably provide a “raw” version of the
cssthat is based on stock Harmony with no mods in due course depending on the popularity of this new function.Author of OGProxy, Swatch, Threaded, Card, and most of Sudonix's bugs…
- Copy all of the code in

I will probably have small modifications to make to adapt to my CSS and my Material View function but I will test this on my test environment very very quickly.
Thanks Mark. In any case, I think this idea is great.

Let me know how you get on

Found a small bug already which is CSS related
I’ll fix this tomorrow and provide an update
-
So I tested and here are my remarks:
-
Pay attention to the name of the JSS file in the Javascript code. I put underscores and the CSS was not taken into account.
-
The topic selection check box is difficult to check: most of the time I enter the topic rather than checking the box :
- I still have the problem displaying tags :
- For my part, in French, the boxes are a little tight here, I’ll see what I can do :
- If you have a pinned topic with the pinned label, the line is visible behind the label
–> For this, maybe add a background color to this loke this ? :
[component="topic/pinned"].border-gray-300 { background: var(--bs-body-navbar) !important; } - Why not take the same width as the toolbar here ? :
Many thanks again Mark

@DownPW All good comments, thanks. Don’t forget that your CSS is also very customized over the stock that comes with NodeBB, but I’m quite surprised by this

Perhaps I missed some final modifications here, but I cannot reproduce that - will need to check

Again, surprised by that as it was addressed in the final code. Will need to check

Yes, I’m aware of that one - the CSS you propose would work, but not for those without custom CSS
@DownPW said in Switch between list and card view function:

Because you cannot fit 32% into 100% even with simple math
It needs either paddingormargin- both of which will be negative, but I’ve done it here
I’m going to release a vanilla harmony CSS file (working on it now) shortly. This will be the starting point that will fit most users, but obvously, the more customized CSS you have, the more work it needs.

no problem,
I noticed that as soon as I make changes to the CSS file, I have to empty the cache and close the browser so that the changes are taken into account even in incognito mode.
@DownPW Yes, I have a fix for that also going forward. Will supply that once I’m done with testing.

No worries my friend :), I’m just making the comments to make this code concrete because I find it excellent.
Now that I have seen that I have to close the browser each time I make a change, this seems OK to me except for the last 2 points mentioned which you are currently working on.

@DownPW thanks. I have an almost stable vanilla harmony version I’ll be posting this weekend.

Here’s a stable version based on stock Harmony
Note that there are a lot of changes here, so if you have previously deployed this code, you need to update it. Also note that the CSS is based on stock harmony - if you have any customised theme, you’ll need to add this yourself (obviously, I cannot possibly factor in custom styles).

I decided to leave this as is. It’s transparent in the stock harmony CSS, so if you want to change it to suit your needs, then feel free. The categories and tags have been moved to the right anyway in this modified version of code, therefore, the “bug” (it’s not really, but…) is no longer present.

Great
I put the code on prod.
I see this bug on a few topics but impossible to know why
@DownPW does it resolve itself if you click the home button again? I’ve seen this in dev but can’t reproduce it in prod.

can you be more specific?
If I refresh the page while keeping Card View activated it’s the same.
Same if I deactivate/reactivate Card ViewHere, we see, we have not
.category-card .lastpost a imgadd to class
