[NODEBB] Help for my custom CSS

Solved Customisation
  • @downpw Correct. Only apply these fixes to your custom CSS.

    @phenomlab said in [NODEBB] Help for my custom CSS:

    @downpw This will fix the reply button on hover

    .btn-group > .btn:first-child:not(:last-child):not(.dropdown-toggle) {
        margin-right: 2px;
    }
    

    No need, margin-right: 0px; is good for me

    This will fix the search alignment, as the CSS is inherited

    a#save-preferences {
        margin-left: -3px;
        margin-right: 2px;
    }
    

    No working, just add border-radius to 0

    a#save-preferences {
    
    border-radius: 0px;
    }
    

    This should fix the message buttons

    .message-body, .btn-xs.btn-link {
        margin-left: -2px !important;
        margin-right: 1px !important;
    }
    

    Not working, i was try button .btn .btn-xs .btn-link too. Border is always here. maybe more specific about this button but I don’t see the class.

    alt text

    And this will fix the composer submit button

    .composer-submit {
        margin-left: -3px !important;
    }
    

    No need it seems to me

  • @downpw Very odd. I actually used this CSS on your site and it works perfectly.

  • I don’t know.

    I delete the cache all the time after modif CSS file.

  • @downpw I just tried this again from an incognito session, and the CSS I suggested also works perfectly. Very strange indeed… 😕

  • Can you see my CSS/ACP ?

    maybe I did things wrong?

    I try on private navigation too.

  • @downpw Yes, I see the ACP - none of the CSS I provided should be in there - it should only reside in the custom themes.

  • hmm if you can see custom CSS, I would appreciate it

  • @downpw Let me have a look

  • @downpw Can you please insert the code I provided into the Dark Aqua CSS theme file?

  • @phenomlab

    so sorry. first code ?

  • @downpw this one
    https://sudonix.com/topic/207/nodebb-help-for-my-custom-css/7?_=1642791291710

    I’ll have a look at this tomorrow but ideally need the code applied beforehand.

    Ok done at the end of the file

  • @downpw Are these lines still there ? I don’t see them at the bottom of the file ?

  • @downpw Thanks for the confirmation. This is indeed quite odd, as the classes, despite being at the bottom of the file, do not appear in the DOM. If I apply them manually

    eb14cd23-d5d0-4b6a-bbc8-31fd0e92cabf-image.png

    Everything works as I expected

    c036f021-3d2f-4939-bd41-8c60a9ca1d11-image.png

    Looking at your CSS, I can see why

    caccdf32-f858-4958-87d2-944deddbc616-image.png

    Note that you are missing a closing curly brace on what should be line 2716 🙂 so this explains why the remaining CSS is not being loaded !

    This block also has a stray asterisk

    .message-body, .btn-xs.btn-link {
        margin-left: -2px !important;
        margin-right: 1px !important;
    }*
    

    Should be

    .message-body, .btn-xs.btn-link {
        margin-left: -2px !important;
        margin-right: 1px !important;
    }

    Oh my god.
    I’m a noob.

    as a reminder, the problem on the chat is not with mouse hover (I see you have a hand on the button) 😉

  • @downpw Yes, I know. I’m just rectifying the issues

  • phenomlabundefined phenomlab referenced this topic on
  • @DownPW After spending a lot of time on the theme switcher (see referenced post above), I re-wrote some of it as found that there were caching issues with CSS as it always calls the same version number. The new function below resolves that issue.

    I also removed the website prefix, as with relative paths, this is not required 🙂

    // ------------------------------------------
    // Theme Switcher
    // ------------------------------------------
    // On choisit une chaine de caractère aléatoire pour affecter un numéro de version au fichier CSS. 
    // The function below creates a random string which we use for CSS versioning to prevent cache conflicts
    function generateRandomString(length) {
        var text="";
        var possible="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
        for (var i=0;
        i < length;
        i++) {
            text+=possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));
        }
        return text;
    }
    
    $(document).ready(function () {
        var string=generateRandomString(10);
        $("#random_string").text(string);
        // This variable gets the theme ID 
        // Cette variable obtient l'ID du thème
        var whichTheme=localStorage.getItem("theme");
        // This variable gets the active theme's actual URL
        //Cette variable obtient l'URL réelle du thème actif
        var activeTheme=localStorage.getItem("activeTheme");
        // This variable appends the dropdown list to the existing panel

    The real issue here is that most people consider forums to be “dead” in the sense that nobody uses them anymore, and social media groups have taken their place. Their once dominant stance in the 90’s and early 00’s will never be experienced again, but having said that, there are a number of forums that did in fact survive the social media onslaught, and still enjoy a large user base.

    Forums tend to be niche. One that immediately sticks out is Reddit - despite looking like it was designed in the 80s, it still has an enormous user base. Another is Stack Overflow, which needs no introduction. The key to any forum is the content it offers, and the more people whom contribute in terms of posting , the more popular and widely respected it becomes as a reliable source of information.

    Forums are still intensely popular with gamers, alongside those that offer tips on hacking etc.

    Just add margin-left on the element like @phenomlab said to you :

    topic [component="post/parent"] { margin-left: 10px; }

    @DownPW as discussed in PM

    Seems to have been solved with the new JS code that you added allowing the version CSS file change!!

    Cache problem therefore with the JS of the Switcher theme

    Based on this, I will close this thread and reference
