[NODEBB] Help for my custom CSS

Solved Customisation
  • @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 modification for resolve cache problem/CSS number version is very great 🙂

    – I have just change the CSS class for change icon on JS Script here :

    var panel = $('<li id="switcher" class="dropdown text-center"> \
    <label for="theme-control-list-check" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" id="theme_dropdown" title="" role="button" data-original-title="Theme" aria-expanded="false"> \
    <a class="btn-link" title="Theme Switcher" href="#"><i id="ticon" class="fa fa-fw fa-toogle-o"></i><span class="visible-xs-inline">Theme Switcher</span></a> \
    

    – I have light and dark theme, so I prefer a universal button like toogle ON/OFF

    • Toogle Off icon on Default Theme :
      8a6ade87-98be-4b9a-b3a7-c44fccc5cf8b-image.png

    • Toogle On icon on each other theme :
      c8bece49-8863-4fc2-9e10-fcf2c19c8bf1-image.png

    – ACP/CSS :

    /*Switch toogle Off (Off:204 - On:205*/
    .fa.fa-toogle-o:before {
        content: "\f204";
        font-size: 16px;
    }
    

    – Each theme CSS :

    /*Switch toogle Off (Off:204 - On:205*/
    .fa.fa-toogle-o:before {
        content: "\f205";
        font-size: 16px;
    }
    

    I have trad comment line too !!

    I put the topic on solved status but it’s not excluded that I return here to ask questions about CSS that I will have trouble finding for future themes if it does not bother ! 😉

  • DownPWundefined DownPW has marked this topic as solved on
  • @downpw some really nice enhancements there !

  • I forgot this.

    – On position text and icon of theme switcher, I have added padding-top to ventilate the surrounding area and align all icon :

    /*Smartphone*/
    @media all and (max-width: 1024px)
    {
    /*VIOLENCE: BUGFIX: Placement du "Theme Switcher" */
        #switcher {
        list-style: none;
        margin-left: -80px;
        padding-top: 15px;
    }
    }
    

    – And I also improved the space between the icon and the text :

    @media all and (max-width: 1024px)
    {
    #switcher .fa-fw {
        text-align: center;
        width: 1.25em;
        padding-right: 25px;
    }
    }
    

    – Result:

  • @downpw another great addition 👏

  • @phenomlab

    An idea for CSS code for that button (Abandon) after click ?

    a604f223-d10a-4579-9b85-354bd0052873-image.png

  • @downpw Can you expand on that ?

  • color, background color and after a click on the abandon button

  • @downpw Ok. Do you have a mock-up in terms of what you’d be looking for ? I think I understand, but it will require jQuery

  • @phenomlab

    I don’t think so JQuery are necessary becausei hav not that on other themes. Maybe a focus button ?

    I want to fix this color background after a click on “Discard” Button when I reply to a topic.

    For example you don’t have this on sudonix.com

    Just to find the correct CSS code i guess

    55cc3266-1705-48b4-8b1f-9df5de43cbb7-image.png

    I have the same problem on login button

  • @downpw Something like this ?

    e8463996-0719-4361-9ea9-cc4df9ac4da0-image.png

    button.btn.btn-default.composer-discard:focus {
        background: red;
    }
    
  • Very odd @phenomlab

    alt text

  • @downpw Expected, because the CSS class is :focus so on mouseout event, the focus is lost and the CSS will no longer apply. This is why you (probably) need jQuery

  • Nope, I don’t think so because I haven’t got the problem on an another themes and here too

  • @downpw Can you provide the same example with another theme ?


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 💗

    @DownPW Looking at the underlying code, class start is being added on hover by jQuery in this function

    document.querySelectorAll(".button-gradient, .button-transparent").forEach((button) => { const style = getComputedStyle(button); const lines = document.createElement("div"); lines.classList.add("lines"); const groupTop = document.createElement("div"); const groupBottom = document.createElement("div"); const svg = createSVG( button.offsetWidth, button.offsetHeight, parseInt(style.borderRadius, 10) ); groupTop.appendChild(svg); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); lines.appendChild(groupTop); lines.appendChild(groupBottom); button.appendChild(lines); button.addEventListener("pointerenter", () => { button.classList.add("start"); }); svg.addEventListener("animationend", () => { button.classList.remove("start"); }); }); })

    The CSS for start is below

    .button-gradient.start .lines svg, .button-transparent.start .lines svg { animation: stroke 0.3s linear; }

    And this is the corresponding keyframe

    @keyframes stroke { 30%, 55% { opacity: 1; } 100% { stroke-dashoffset: 5; opacity: 0; } }

    It’s using both CSS and SVG, so might not be a simple affair to replicate without the SVG files.

    @cagatay you’ll need to define this in the body tag (or another element if you want greater or more granular targets) - for example

    body { font-family: "Poppins"; font-size: 16px; }

    Essentially, you use the font-size CSS directive.

    @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
