  • @crazycells Yes - sorry. It’s because I’ve been changing the theme names so the old ones aren’t officially supported (as such - they have been renamed). If you are using light mode on your OS, then you’ll get the light theme (which you clearly have). Reloading forces the JS to reevaluate and select the right theme.

    Should have made an announcement about this. Sorry.

    @phenomlab no problem at all 🙂 next time before reporting, I will refresh the page…

    @phenomlab There is one thing I have to mention, yesterday I was checking sudonix as PWA (but my comment can be thought as related to general mobile design) and I realized that there is no easy way to go to /categories page… It is indirect through the category panel…

    If someone is accessing your website first time, I believe that is the page they would want to see to understand the general theme/aim of the forum… This is usually done either clicking the title or clicking the home icon…

    But for this website, they both direct you to the /recent page… I knew how to reach there since I use NodeBB daily but if I was outside user, I would struggle little bit 😄

    Of course, if everything is intentional, then there is no problem… I just wanted to bring this to your attention…

    @crazycells Good points. Thanks. I will review this.

    @crazycells hmm. Just looking at this and I do see what you mean but if you tap the category icon it should auto expand with the first option in the list being “All Categories” which will take you to /categories.

    In addition, it’s possible to change the default home page in your profile settings.

    @phenomlab yes I know, but that is “two clicks”… nowadays “two” is too much to get the main page 😄

    it is ok for me, I know how to navigate, but I was talking from a new user’s perspective (even unregistered one)… no need for any change if it is OK for you 🙂

    @crazycells yep. I get it! Good point.

    Hi @phenomlab , upvote icon is better as a triangle, however I would love to see my upvoted posts more clearly, because currently, when I upvote, nothing on the post tool is changing, it would be nicer if there is an indication that I have upvoted (like a filled or colored triangle?) .

    @crazycells hmm. Nice idea, but not that easy to implement unless there’s a hook that fires (not sure there is). Could be done with JS but that could be too the detriment of page loads and ajax calls.

    @phenomlab I think in this case a custom CSS code suffice…

    we were using something like this:

    .topic [component="post/upvote"].upvoted {
        color: #085EAC;
    }
    
    .topic [component="post/upvote"].upvoted {
      border: 0px !important;
    }
    
    .topic [component="post/downvote"].downvoted {
            color: #EF4042;
    }
    
    .topic [component="post/downvote"].downvoted {
      border: 0px !important;
    }

    .topic [component="post/downvote"].downvoted {
      border: 0px !important;
    }
    
    

    @crazycells Good points, thanks. I completely forgot that classes are added - makes life much simpler!

    EDIT - seems this is pretty straightforward, and only needs the below CSS

    .upvoted i {
        color: var(--bs-user-level) !important;
    }
    

    This then yields

    However, the caveat here is that the .upvoted class will only show for your upvotes, and nobody else’s. However, this does satisfy the original request

    @phenomlab thank you very much for the assistance Mark, massively appreciated as always. The great thing about this is it’s all documented for other NodeBB users that come looking for solutions . Looks far better .

    @crazycells Agreed. It takes a more sensible approach. Nobody ever upvotes the first post - it’s usually much further down as the conversation progresses.

    @Panda said in Interesting Widget code, but can’t fetch API: How did you drop that widget into the post there? I hadnt seen this BSgenerator anywhere on sudonix site, do you use it somewhere already? Yes, here https://sudonix.org/topic/414/corporate-bullshit-generator?_=1687774393044 It’s not a “post” or “topic” in the common sense. It is actually a page in it’s own right and leverages nodebb-plugin-custom-pages. This in turn creates a new “route” which behaves like a page, meaning it is then exposed for widgets. @Panda said in Interesting Widget code, but can’t fetch API: Also can you explain more what you mean by calling the code externally. In my API call example, how would I go about doing that? By this, I mean create all the required code in an external JS file that is reachable by the NodeBB instance - so, in “public” for example - or in my case /public/js. The widget then “calls” that file and because it runs outside of the scope of NodeBB, you just need to return the values to the widget. Hope this makes sense?

    @DownPW I see why. The code relies on the existence of [component="topic/quickreply/container"] However, this by definition means that the below has to be enabled [image: 1679077966615-aeef638f-4188-489d-a9f2-f3a26dbca9d8-image.png] It will then work [image: 1679077992245-7fb38631-e0f3-46ef-b652-00929d927b13-image.png] For some unknown reason, this is hidden in Harmony, and only shows if you select it. In v2, it seems that the <section> is deleted altogether in Persona if “Quick Reply” is disabled, meaning it won’t fire as it can’t locate that specific component. The downside is that you might not want the quick reply function, but I think it’s a PITA to scroll up to the top of the post just to reply, so I have it on

    @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.

    @crazycells hmm. Good point. I actually use my own version of the dark mode plugin, so not entirely sure. However, I think the CSS is probably the same. I’m not at my PC currently but can check and advise later.
