  • @crazycells I have this running on https://hostrisk.com which is my cyber security (automated) news site. Are you looking for something like this ?

    46465831-6773-4784-8f23-feecc7db9117-image.png

    Here’s a jQuery function that will do this on the fly

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            $('.recent-card-container').each(function(i) {
                var dataId = $(this).attr("data-cid");
                var color = $('[role="presentation"]', this).css("background-color");
                console.log("data-cid " + dataId + " is " + color);
                $('[data-cid="' + dataId + '"] .recent-card').attr("style", "border-color: " + color);
            });
        });
    });
    

    Paste this into your ACP -> Appearance -> Custom JS, save, and test

    @phenomlab lol yes, that is exactly what I was looking for 😄

    @crazycells No problems. Feel free to comment out line

    console.log("data-cid " + dataId + " is " + color);
    

    From that function as it’s only used to ensure the script is picking up the relevant background-color from the category.

    @phenomlab I think in dark mode, it is going back to normal. Is there an easy way to keep the same border color in dark mode as well?

    @crazycells Dark mode shouldn’t have any impact - can you provide a URL where I can see this ?

  • @crazycells Dark mode shouldn’t have any impact - can you provide a URL where I can see this ?

    @phenomlab Yes, I see the issue. It’s because of lazy CSS classes meaning this below will override everything else when body.lights-out is appended to the existing CSS class.

    body.lights-out .recent-cards .recent-card-container .recent-card {
        background-color: #2E2E2E;
        border: #848484;
    }
    

    You should be able to work around that by adding this into your custom CSS

    body.lights-out .recent-cards .recent-card-container .recent-card {
        border: 1px solid #848484;
    }

    Let me know how you get on.

    @phenomlab Yes, I found the lines and fixed them 😄

    Thank you very much. Since the recent card plugin-related codes are not included in the night mode plugin; we have previously added some custom codes for recent cards… Apparently, those codes were creating the problem. Now, it is fixed 👍

  • hi @phenomlab , somehow recent cards are not clickable in my forum after using these codes, however, it works fine here…

    Normally, when I click a card it takes me to that topic, however, nothing happens now.

    I use this CSS:

    
    li.col-md-3.col-sm-6.col-xs-12.recent-card-container {
        width: 290px !important;
    }
    

    this JS code:

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            $('.recent-card-container').each(function(i) {
                var dataId = $(this).attr("data-cid");
                var color = $('[role="presentation"]', this).css("background-color");
                console.log("data-cid " + dataId + " is " + color);
                $('[data-cid="' + dataId + '"] .recent-card').attr("style", "border-color: " + color);
            });
        });
    });
    
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
       var categoryColor = $('[role="presentation"].icon').css("background-color");
                    $('li.topic-owner-post:nth-child(1)').css('border-color', categoryColor);
        });
    });
    
    
    window.addEventListener("load", () => {
        // CHROME
        if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Chrome") != -1) {
            console.log("Google Chrome");
            $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
                $('.carousel-mode').bxSlider({

    @crazycells Strange. Are there any errors appearing in the console at your end ? When I look at the console itself, I see

    0a1b4841-6da4-4809-958e-4636441ada61-image.png

    However, this doesn’t seem to have any impact on the recent cards - the links appear to work fine. I think this may be a caching issue at your end ?

    @phenomlab hmm, I tried on different browsers with iPhone.

    First of all, when I delete this code:

    
    window.addEventListener("load", () => {
        // CHROME
        if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Chrome") != -1) {
            console.log("Google Chrome");
            $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
                $('.carousel-mode').bxSlider({
                    auto: false,
                    autoControls: true,
                    stopAutoOnClick: true,
                    pager: false,
                    keyboardEnabled: true,
                    touchEnabled: false
                });
            });
        } else {
            console.log("Others");
            $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
                $('.carousel-mode').bxSlider({
                    auto: false,
                    autoControls: true,
                    stopAutoOnClick: true,
                    pager: false,
                    keyboardEnabled: true,
                    touchEnabled: true
                });
            });
        }
    });
    

    then, everything is normal, cards are clickable but of course, sliding does not work.

    However, when I activate it, I could not click the cards on Safari, but it was working on Firefox. I can slide the cards on both browsers by the way.

    So, I guess like Google Chrome, Safari has its own problems with this sliding application?

                    auto: false,
                    autoControls: true,
                    stopAutoOnClick: true,
                    pager: false,
                    keyboardEnabled: true,
                    touchEnabled: false
                });
            });
        } else {

                    autoControls: true,
                    stopAutoOnClick: true,
                    pager: false,
                    keyboardEnabled: true,
                    touchEnabled: true

    @crazycells odd. Should actually work on Safari. Can you change the line under “Others” to be touchEnabled: false and see if that allows you to select the href links ?

    Obviously, save the code and reload the site before testing again.

    @crazycells yes, unsurprising as they both use the webkit CSS rendering engine. This will be the same bug I reference earlier that affects Google Chrome. Not much that can be done sadly.

  • @pobojmoks that’s easily done by modifying the code provided here so that it targets background rather than border

    In essence, the below should work

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            $('.recent-card-container').each(function(i) {
                var dataId = $(this).attr("data-cid");
                var color = $('[role="presentation"]', this).css("background-color");
                console.log("data-cid " + dataId + " is " + color);
                $('[data-cid="' + dataId + '"] .recent-card').attr("style", "background-color: " + color);
            });
        });
    });

    @eveh Welcome board The code you are referring to is custom written as no such functionality exists under NodeBB. However, adding the functionality is relatively trivial. Below are the required steps Navigate to /admin/appearance/customise#custom-header Add the below code to your header, and save once completed <ol id="mainbanner" class="breadcrumb"><li id="addtext">Your Title Goes Here</li></ol> Navigate to /admin/appearance/customise#custom-js and add the below code, then save $(document).ready(function() { $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) { // Initialise mainbanner ID, but hide it from view $('#mainbanner').hide(); var pathname = window.location.pathname; if (pathname === "/") { $("#addtext").text("Your Title"); $('#mainbanner').show(); } else {} // If we want to add a title to a sub page, uncomment the below and adjust accordingly //if (pathname === "/yourpath") { //$("#addtext").text("Your Title"); //$('#mainbanner').show(); //} }); }); Navigate to /admin/appearance/customise#custom-css and add the below CSS block .breadcrumb { right: 0; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; background: #0086c4; color: #ffffff; width: 100vw; position: relative; margin-left: -50vw; left: 50%; top: 50px; position: fixed; z-index: 1020; } Note, that you will need to adjust your CSS code to suit your own site / requirements.

    @crazycells hmm. Good point. I actually use my own version of the dark mode plugin, so not entirely sure. However, I think the CSS is probably the same. I’m not at my PC currently but can check and advise later.
