  • @phenomlab No idea if this is for me or @DownPW but it is very clever indeed! does it show on mobile?

    The idea is fantastic Mark, is there a point where you think yes my ideas are used by others but having the same features across a few forums, does that bother you or would you say this is why you created Sudonix?

    Yes, natively, but I use CSS to hide it.

    Absolutely not. I know that my ideas have been accepted and used by @JAC @DownPW @kurulumuNet and I’m happy that others find them useful. There’s no copyright here - anything you want to take and use is, like the platform itself, free.

    Oh my God ^^
    I wonder where did you learn to code JS like this?

    The firm I work for uses a worfkflows system which I wrote from scratch. It’s used to track the onboarding, departures, application requests etc of users, and is also an audit source. Been a developer for years…

    @downpw Sure. Very simple - just place this in your mobile CSS block

    .getUsername {
      display: none;
    }
    
  • Great. That’s work !

    Easy as pie.
    Why didn’t I think of it?

  • What is your CSS for this @phenomlab ?
    I have small bug on Unread categorie for example with this code I wrote:

    .getUsername {
        float: right;
        font-family: 'Poppins';
        font-size: 1.6rem;
        line-height: 1.8;
        color: #898989;
        font-weight: 400;
    }

    2040e9b0-d14f-48a8-a681-782667985337-image.png

    @downpw I use the below - essentially, using padding to overcome this

    .getUsername {
        padding-top: 20px;
        text-align: right;
    }
    
  • @downpw Sure. Very simple - just place this in your mobile CSS block

    .getUsername {
      display: none;
    }
    

    @phenomlab
    To hide only on mobile / tablet you can use max-width,
    For example:

    @media (max-width: 970px) {
         .getUsername {
       display: none;
    }
    }
    
  • @jac @DownPW here’s the function I put together than will need to be added into your Custom JS

    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function (data) {
        function updateUsername() {
            $('.getUsername .username').text(app.user.username);
        }
        if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
            document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', updateUsername);
        } else {
            updateUsername();
        }
        var thehours = new Date().getHours();
    	var themessage;
    	var morning = ('Good morning');
    	var afternoon = ('Good afternoon');
    	var evening = ('Good evening');
    
    	if (thehours >= 0 && thehours < 12) {
    		themessage = morning; 
    
    	} else if (thehours >= 12 && thehours < 17) {
    		themessage = afternoon;
    
    	} else if (thehours >= 17 && thehours < 24) {
    		themessage = evening;
    	}
    
    	$('.getUsername').prepend(themessage);
    });
    

    Then use a custom HTML widget with the below

    <!-- IF loggedIn -->
    <div class="getUsername">, <a href="/me"><span class="username"></span></a></div>
    <!-- ENDIF loggedIn -->
    

    For anyone reviewing this post, there’s an updated version here that also includes an sunrise / sun / moon icon depending on the time of day

  • Hello,

    I have a question regarding a problem my user is experiencing with this Welcome message.
    This user is not in France.

    It’s 7:40 a.m. for him, so 1:40 a.m. in France, and the banner wishes me a “good afternoon.” I don’t know what time zone it thinks I’m in, but it’s wrong…

    And nodebb displays 11:40 p.m. on the right once posted, so GMT.
    Which isn’t the afternoon either.

    How does this script get the time? It looks like it’s getting the time from the client, meaning the computer or device of the person visiting your site.
    But it seems that in this specific case, the correct time isn’t being retrieved.

    How can I fix this?

    @DownPW the ‘js’ code for the banner takes the time from the client, so what it displays really depends on the regional settings for the operating system.

    I’ve not seen this issue myself but would like to see some examples of screenshots if possible.

    @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?

    @phenomlab Very very great Mark Thanks again, It’s perfect now ! –> I share my code that I modified. I’ve added French and English comments. If you see things to change Mark, don’t hesitate. As usual, all the access paths (FA icons, logo) will have to be modified according to your architecture. You can also very well add/remove time slots and change welcome messages to suit your needs.
