  • I have a nodebb forum but theres no place to put subheading info, briefly describing what forum is about.
    You have this on your page saying “Technology Consultancy and Advisory”
    I understand you did this with custom code?
    Please can you share how I can add this similarly
    Thanks

  • @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.

    @Panda Just circling back here with something of an update (which I think you’ll like). I’ve completely restructured the ranking system. There are now less ranks, with a higher point threshold to reach them. More importantly, if you reload the site, you’ll notice that the ranks are now icons. I also removed the “Author” badge, and made this a single icon, which (to me) looks much better.

    @Panda said in Smart Widgets: So why is that, or conversely why would the function to expose username ever be required, as it seems app.user is already an available global object? It is, yes, but not if you are using it outside of a widget. The function I wrote is also historical and comes from the 2.x train

    @mventures Yes, exactly. The other icon will restart NodeBB whilst the first icon I referenced will rebuild (recompile) it. The huge strength of NodeBB over Flarum (for example) is that the code is precompiled, and called once at boot. PHP’s code has to repeatedly reload code from source making it much slower.

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored. More info around the background property can be found here https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background.php
