    @julian now has the native push notifications working, and as a result, Sudonix now has them also - see screenshot of how to enable this feature here

    As you can see, you need to enable the notification before it will work. There is a test button located underneath the slider switch (although not present in this screenshot) and this will enable you to test to make sure it is working.

    Quoting Julian

    I’m particularly excited about this new development because it opens the door for richer integration between NodeBB and the push notifications themselves.

    With (probably) every iteration prior, when you clicked on the notification, it likely opened a new window. With direct access to the Push API and service worker, we can now accurately detect whether the site is already open (in another tab), and open it there.

    In the future, we’ll also be able to add in things like icons, pictures, and custom actions, right from the notification itself.

    One particular nice-to-have is the ability to update notifications. Being able to merge notifications (like they already do in NodeBB) or potentially rescind notifications would be a nice step forward in usability as well.

    This works very well in my testing - however, if you use NordVPN, it does not work at all unless you disable the VPN. I have an open ticket with them presently to see if there is in fact any workaround.

    I have taken the decision to now disable nodebb-plugin-ntfy as with the 4.0 train, this plugin is considered legacy.

    @phenomlab That is awesome that they integrated that feature. Now it will be even more awesome if they fix it so it will go through your VPN.

  • @phenomlab That is awesome that they integrated that feature. Now it will be even more awesome if they fix it so it will go through your VPN.

    @Madchatthew yes, but this isn’t a NodeBB issue - more of a NordVPN one. And the response I got from them was lacklustre to say the least.

    We’ll do our best to help, but, to solve this faster, we need some additional information. Can you please let us know:

    The device and operating system you are using with our service (Windows/Android/macOS/iOS/Linux);

    The country you are currently in;

    If you’re using the >latest version< of our application and if not - have you tried updating the application;

    Your Internet Service Provider and the network that you are connecting from (home/public);

    If you’re getting any error message(s), please attach a >screenshot< to the reply;

    Have you tried any troubleshooting steps so far? If you have, could you clarify which ones?

    Let us know if you’re using any type of antivirus, ad blocker, or different VPN software alongside NordVPN, as they might be interfering with our service.

    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    @phenomlab Ooohhh you got the ole classic response of tell us everything about your system and internet access along with when everything was made and who programmed and designed it and after we have all of that information it won’t be our software but whatever software you are using or your internet connection because your grandma’s third cousins borther’s aunt’s nephew didn’t put enough gas in the car and then had to thumb it home to get the gas container and go to the gas station to fill it up and by the time they get back to the car to fill the tank, someone had come along and jacked the car up and stole the tires and took the sparkplugs and cables out along with the carberater and oil filter.

    Cause heaven forbid they just ask what protocol are you using to send those notifications and lets check our software to see why it might be doing that so we can change the function and make it work.

    @Madchatthew Brilliant. This really made me chuckle. So true, and definitely the default response.

    Interesting my friend, long may NodeBB & Sudonix continue to thrive 😬.

  • I’ve noticed that I’m the only one subscribed to the push notifications on this site. If you were using NTFY previously, and have noticed that you’ve not had any alerts for a while, it’s because this feature has been disabled.

    You’ll now need to use the push notification to replace NTFY as mentioned in the first post.

    @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 [image: 1718028529465-3f072f8a-ebfa-4910-8723-73c493b8e4eb-image.png] 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 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?)

    @Panda said in Nodebb design: One negative is not being so good for SEO as more Server side rendered forums, if web crawlers dont run the JS to read the forum. From recollection, Google and Bing have the capability to read and process JS, although it’s not in the same manner as a physical person will consume content on a page. It will be seen as plain text, but will be indexed. However, it’s important to note that Yandex and Baidu will not render JS, although seeing as Google has a 90% share of the content available on the web in terms of indexing, this isn’t something you’ll likely lose sleep over. @Panda said in Nodebb design: The “write api” is preferred for server-to-server interactions. This is mostly based around overall security - you won’t typically want a client machine changing database elements or altering data. This is why you have “client-side” which could be DOM manipulation etc, and “server-side” which performs more complex operations as it can communicate directly with the database whereas the client cannot (and if it can, then you have a serious security flaw). Reading from the API is perfectly acceptable on the client-side, but not being able to write. A paradigm here would be something like SNMP. This protocol exists as a UDP (UDP is very efficient, as it is “fire and forget” and does not wait for a response like TCP does) based service which reads performance data from a remote source, thus enabling an application to parse that data for use in a monitoring application. In all cases, SNMP access should be “RO” (Read Only) and not RW (Read Write). It is completely feasible to assume complete control over a firewall for example by having RW access to SNMP and then exposing it to the entire internet with a weak passphrase. You wouldn’t do it (at least, I hope you wouldn’t) and the same ethic applies to server-side rendering and the execution of commands.

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored. More info around the background property can be found here https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background.php
