[NODEBB] CSS Style Sheets SelectBox

Locked Solved Customisation
  • @DownPW As discussed via chat, if dark mode is selected, the themes should be stripped to prevent CSS conflicts. You can do that by using this code snippet

    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
        var isDefined = localStorage.getItem("s1");
        var isDefinedLabel = localStorage.getItem("sLabel");
        if (isDefined) {
            setStyleSource("s1", isDefined);
        } else {
            setStyleSource("s1", selected);
        }
        if (isDefinedLabel) {
            $('#mySelect').val(isDefined).change();
        } else {
    
        }
        var isDark = localStorage.getItem('user:theme');
        if (isDark) {
            console.log("Dark mode is active");
                    setStyleSource("s1", "");
                    $('#mySelect').hide();
        }
        document.getElementById("mySelect").addEventListener("change", function() {
            var selected = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;
            var selectedLabel = this.options[this.selectedIndex].text;
            setStyleSource("s1", selected);
            localStorage.setItem("s1", selected);
            localStorage.setItem("sLabel", selectedLabel);
        });
    });
    
  • @DownPW After weā€™d discussed this further, plus your ideal situation of having something like the ā€œdark modeā€ switcher plugin, Iā€™ve come up with the below (fully functional) code

    $(document).ready(function ()
    {
    	// This variable gets the theme ID
    	var whichTheme = localStorage.getItem("theme");
    	// This variable gets the active theme's actual URL
    	var activeTheme = localStorage.getItem("activeTheme");
    	// This variable appends the dropdown list to the existing panel
    	var panel = $('<li id="switcher" class="notifications dropdown xs navbar-form"> \
    <label for="user-control-list-check" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" id="user_dropdown" title="" role="button" data-original-title="Theme" aria-expanded="false"> \
    <a title="Theme Switcher" href="#"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-lightbulb-o"></i><span class="visible-xs-inline">Theme Switcher</span></a> \
    	</label> \
        <ul id="theme" class="dropdown-menu"> \
        <li><a id="default" href="#" rel="https://domain.com/assets/client.css?v=e02phpkima0">Default</a></li> \
        <li><a id="Dark Neon Aqua" href="#" rel="https://domain.com/assets/customcss/dark_neon_aqua.css?version=1">Dark Neon Aqua</a></li> \
        <li><a id="Dark Neon Blue" href="#" rel="https://domain.com/assets/customcss/dark_neon_blue.css?version=1">Dark Neon Blue</a></li> \
        <li><a id="Dark Neon Green" href="#" rel="https://domain.com/assets/customcss/dark_neon_green.css?version=1">Dark Neon Green</a></li> \
        <li><a id="Dark Neon Solary" href="#" rel="https://domain.com/assets/customcss/dark_neon_solary.css?version=1">Dark Neon Solary</a></li> \
        <li><a id="Dark Neon White" href="#" rel="https://domain.com/assets/customcss/dark_neon_white.css?version=1"">Dark Neon White</a></li> \
        <li><a id="Eva 00" href="#" rel="https://domain.com/assets/customcss/eva_00.css?version=1">Eva.00</a></li> \
        <li><a id="Eva 01" href="#" rel="https://domain.com/assets/customcss/eva_01.css?version=1">Eva.01</a></li> \
        <li><a id="Eva 01 Purple Green"href="#" rel="https://domain.com/assets/customcss/eva_01_purple_green.css?version=1">Eva.01_Purple/Green</a></li> \
        <li><a id="Eva 02" href="#" rel="https://domain.com/assets/customcss/eva_02.css?version=1">Eva.02</a></li> \
      </ul> \
    </div> ');
    
    	// See if there is an active theme selected in localStorage. If none selected, use the default. If there is a theme in localStorage, use that and apply it
    	if (whichTheme)
    	{
    		$("head").append("<link href='" + activeTheme + whichTheme + " type=\'text/css\' rel=\'stylesheet\' />");
    	}
    	else
    	{
    		// No need to include anything here as there's no CSS to add.
    	}
    
    	$('ul#logged-in-menu').prepend(panel);
    	$('ul#logged-out-menu').prepend(panel);
    
    	if (utils.findBootstrapEnvironment() === 'xs')
    	{
    		$('#menu').prepend(panel);
    	}
    
    	$(document).ready(function ()
    	{
    		// Listen to the NAV dropdown for any changes
    		$("#theme li a").click(function ()
    		{
    			// If we detect a change, append the selected CSS file into the DOM 
    			$("head").append("<link href='" + $(this).attr("rel") + $(this).attr("id") + " type=\'text/css\' rel=\'stylesheet\' />");
    			// This variable stores the selected theme ID
    			var selected = $(this).attr("id");
    			// This variable stores the selected theme link 
    			var theTheme = $(this).attr("rel");
    			// This variable updates the selected theme ID
    			// See if "default" has been selected. If it has, then...
    			if (selected === 'default')
    			{
    				localStorage.setItem("theme", "");
    				// This variable will strip the current appended theme ID
    				localStorage.setItem("activeTheme", "");
    				// This variable will strip the current appended theme URL (HREF)
    				// Finally, we have to reload the page to effect the changes
    				location.reload();
    			}
    			// If any other theme is selected, carry on as normal, and update localStorage
    			else
    			{
    				localStorage.setItem("theme", selected);
    				// This variable updates the actual href of the CSS file
    				localStorage.setItem("activeTheme", theTheme);
    			}
    			// We use return false to prevent the browser from reloading or following any HREF links
    			return false;
    		});
    	});
    });
    

    This has been applied against the test site, and is proven to work 100%. Itā€™s based on jQuery and is far more efficient than the previous versions above. Test it out, and let me know ref thoughts etcā€¦ šŸ™‚

  • phenomlabundefined phenomlab has marked this topic as solved on
  • First, I wanted to thank you for your great job šŸ™‚

    I have a lot of questions !

    • I donā€™t see a modification on client.css our my custom css file?

    • Just JS for all that ? No modified other file?

    • How do you fix the yesterday problem for CSS on chat? (How do you include default client.css with my custom CSS files?)

    • My custom CSS on ACP/custom CSS is just for default Theme (yes If I understood correctly) ?

    • Can I disable all my customcss code on body.lightout variables on ACP/Custom CSS, (used for night mode) ?

    • Can I add other theme? --> Just add following if Iā€™m not mistaken?


    And I have other cosmetic request :

    • How can I fix this little problem with the spacing between the search iconā€“the theme switcher iconā€“notification icon?
      b02f8f69-cdbc-43b5-89dd-ff63901b6882-image.png

    • I have not mouse over color on theme switcher icon like other icons on navbar?
      b867fab1-985a-4ec0-b0d2-f50e50f7d00f-image.png

    Itā€™s the same for all themes:
    7eb88882-27d0-4170-806c-d89966f9668d-image.png

    • When I select a theme, I have this, how to fix these :
      cb357ffe-a178-4daa-819f-803ed77b51b6-image.png

    +On Mobile, can we delete these 2 lines
    b19507bb-a9d3-4311-96c5-38a6f8366c93-image.png

    • On mobile again, my wallpaper doesnā€™t apply (It was the case before, like default theme on ACP/custom CSS, the css code is the same)

    • I have this on console, normal ?


    For resume, If I want to do all reproduce all that on production, If I understood correctly :

    • Disable Night Mode. Rebuild NodeBB
    • Copy my CSS file on prod server at the same repertories (or other if I change the JS code)
    • Copy Paste your Custom JS Code on ACP/Custom JS
    • Recover with Broswer Console the code ?v=XXXXX used by noidebb instance
    • Modify URL of Stylesheets with my css custom files path and ?v=XXXXX on your JS Code
    • Rebuild NodeBB
  • @downpw said in [NODEBB] CSS Style Sheets SelectBox:

    I donā€™t see a modification on client.css our my custom css file?

    Thatā€™s correct. There is no need to modify any of the custom CSS files

    @downpw said in [NODEBB] CSS Style Sheets SelectBox:

    Just JS for all that ? No modified other file?

    Yes - jQuery in fact. You no longer require the widget HTML either as itā€™s now all wrapped in a custom function.

    @downpw said in [NODEBB] CSS Style Sheets SelectBox:

    How do you fix the yesterday problem for CSS on chat? (How do you include default client.css with my custom CSS files?)

    The default CSS is loaded by NodeBB, so will always be there. The custom function I wrote uses .append to simply add the custom CSS to what is already there

    My custom CSS on ACP/custom CSS is just for default Theme (yes If I understood correctly) ?

    No. Thatā€™s a global setting. No matter what is loaded by the custom function, these additional styles will always be added inline.

    @downpw said in [NODEBB] CSS Style Sheets SelectBox:

    Can I disable all my customcss code on body.lightout variables on ACP/Custom CSS , (used for night mode) ?

    Yes šŸ™‚

    @downpw said in [NODEBB] CSS Style Sheets SelectBox:

    Can I add other theme? --> Just add following if Iā€™m not mistaken?

    Yes, you can. You just need to copy the same format with different theme names, IDā€™s, and of course, the rel link.

    @downpw said in [NODEBB] CSS Style Sheets SelectBox:

    How can I fix this little problem with the spacing between the search iconā€“the theme switcher iconā€“notification icon?

    Looks like itā€™s already fixed ?

    @downpw said in [NODEBB] CSS Style Sheets SelectBox:

    On Mobile, can we delete these 2 lines

    That is controlled by CSS class .navbar-form using box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.1),0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.1); so youā€™d need to either modify that, or remove it using box-shadow: none;

    On mobile again, my wallpaper doesnā€™t apply (It was the case before, like default theme on ACP/custom CSS , the css code is the same)

    I noticed this also, but now note that the wallpaper seems to be the same even on desktop despite the color being switched. Is this intended, as this was not the case yesterday ?

    @downpw said in [NODEBB] CSS Style Sheets SelectBox:

    I have this on console, normal ?

    Sorry - I canā€™t see any screenshot ?

    05664f98-b661-47d2-a40d-e6b9b86a1a49-image.png

    Yes, I have fixed with this :

    .notifications.dropdown.xs {
        margin-left: -18px;
        margin-right: -18px;
        margin-top: 6.2px;

    No change, Itā€™s because I have Custom Header code on ACP (Your Reading Meter Bar) and he bug the css code of others theme except default theme.

    Any code adding on ACP/Custom Header like a div for example crashes CSS themes :

    ba5d1ca8-70ab-4789-aa02-2637fbbfbef1-image.png

    If i disable code in ACP/Custom Header. The CSS custom themes is OK except wallpaper on Mobile

    You can instate that using class .dropdown-toggle:hover

    I have test with that on ACP = doesnā€™t work :

    .dropdown-toggle:hover {
        background: #3C3C3C;
    }
    

    But Ok with this code but the background doesnā€™t occupy the entire height of the navbar like other navbar icons :

    .notifications.dropdown.xs .dropdown-toggle:hover {
        background: #3C3C3C;
    }

    Here, this is OK. Iwould like this result:
    254f27dd-d8cd-4ee2-aeef-16ac19488539-image.png

  • @downpw Ok. Let me have a look

  • @DownPW Iā€™ve set this custom CSS in your ACP

    // PLEASE DO NOT DELETE THIS
    
    .header #theme_dropdown {
        padding: 9px 15px;
    }
    .header #theme_dropdown {
        padding: 9px 15px;
            padding-top: 9px;
            padding-bottom: 9px;
        margin-top: -6px;
        padding-top: 14px;
        padding-bottom: 13px;
    }
    

    This is the basis which should make it work, but youā€™ll need to ā€œfiddleā€ with it to get it how you need.

    I also changed the jQuery code slightly, as I realized there was a conflict with another ID, which Iā€™ve fixed.

    EDIT: Itā€™s this line

    <label for="user-control-list-check" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" id="***theme***_dropdown" title="" role="button" data-original-title="Theme" aria-expanded="false"> \
    
  • OK Thanks.
    You have change id="user_dropdown with id=ā€œtheme_dropdownā€

    Can you will see for others problem after?

  • @downpw Iā€™m running low on free time now sadly, but more then happy to get this resolved for you tomorrow or later in the week of that works for you.

    The issue here is that Iā€™ve reused some of the existing code from NodeBB and that may be causing some issues. Donā€™t worry. Weā€™ll get there šŸ‘

    OK Thanks sir šŸ™‚
    I really hope ! You are a super hero !

    I also hope that when done this will work on future nodeBB updates/upgrade.
    PM me when you have the time for that I turn on the VM

  • @downpw no issues. Itā€™ll work across upgrades as itā€™s a standard function and doesnā€™t rely on any NodeBB components. If you can just ensure that the VM is available around the same time each day, that would also help.

    Ok no problem Sir šŸ˜‰

  • @downpw Right. I think I have this working the way youā€™d like

    9178fb7a-04b8-4b34-95cd-6bf47d8b368a-image.png

    This uses the below CSS I have placed into your ACP. It should not be deleted

    // PLEASE DO NOT DELETE THIS
    
    .header #theme_dropdown {
        padding: 9px 15px;
        padding-top: 9px;
        padding-bottom: 9px;
        margin-top: -4px;
        padding-top: 14px;
        padding-bottom: 16px;
    }
    #switcher{
        position: absolute;
        right: 33%;
    }
    

    The :hover class is always going to look like the below

    07a054c4-57bd-4817-8823-785116ed97b6-image.png

    The reason for this is because you have it hard coded in the ACP CSS as below

    /*VIOLENCE: Couleur du background au survol souris */
    .navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>label:hover {
        background: #555555;
    }
    

    You should remove this, and set it based on the color you want in each external CSS file. This way, it will display correctly.

    The slight caveat with this is that it has to use absolute positioning meaning that if you resize the browser, the theme switcher icon will use a percentage to work out where it needs to be, and wonā€™t be governed by the <ul><li> it sits inside. This is the only way to get the effect you are looking for.

    Hmmm, itā€™s problematic. Itā€™s not very aesthetic.
    I am amazed because it works very well on your site or with night mode.

    I am amazed because it works very well on your site or with night mode.

    The theme switcher you have doesnā€™t work the same way as the night mode plugin. What you have is a dropdown which is not the same as the toggle selection hence it will behave differently.

    What isnā€™t aesthetic exactly ?

    @downpw said in [NODEBB] CSS Style Sheets SelectBox:

    I see red background too on fa -faw ???

    Yes, that comes from the below class on line 415 of your CSS in the ACP

    /*VIOLENCE: Couleur du background de l'icone de recherche au survol souris */  
    .navbar-default .btn-link:hover {
        background: red;
    }
    
  • @DownPW another wayā€¦

    Remove

    #switcher{
        position: absolute;
        right: 33%;
    }
    

    Add

    .navbar-default {
        height: 50px;
    }
    

    This way, itā€™s aestheticā€¦I just set the changes. Let me know what you think.

  • @phenomlab

    Itā€™s better.

    I have just to set space between icon

    For the red, i have disable CSS on line number 415, itā€™s not that

  • @downpw said in [NODEBB] CSS Style Sheets SelectBox:

    For the red, i have disable CSS on line number 415, itā€™s not that

    Odd. This will stop it

    #switcher .btn-link:hover {
        background: none !important;
    }
    
  • Yeah Itā€™s good

  • @downpw Great. I think weā€™re done, yes ?


Did this solution help you?
Did you find the suggested solution useful? Why not buy me a coffee? It's a nice gesture, and a great way to show your appreciation šŸ’—
