  • @crazycells Ok, so, I found some time to look at this properly today.

    Here’s the result

    d735ea48-7d38-444f-9e8b-822196b3c877-image.png

    Notice the “Twitter-esque” verified badge?

    I found this

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Twitter_Verified_Badge.svg and downloaded it, then uploaded it to /assets/public/images

    Then, I used the below CSS code

        li[component="post"] a[href*="/groups/verified"] {
            position: absolute !important;
            left: 2px;
            z-index: 2;
            margin-top: 1px;
            border-radius: 999px !important;
            line-height: 14px;
            display: block;
            height: auto;
            margin-left: 0px !important;
            background: transparent !important;
            width: auto;
        }
    
        li[component=post] a[href*="/groups/verified"]:before {
            background: url(https://sudonix.org/assets/images/Twitter_Verified_Badge.svg) !important;
            content: "";
            height: 22px;
            width: 22px;
            display: block;
        }
        li[component=post] a[href*="/groups/verified"]:after {
            background: #ffffff !important;
            height: 9px;
            width: 9px;
            content: "";
            display: block;
            top: 10px;
            position: absolute;
            z-index: -1;
            left: 12px;
        }
    

    Some points to consider

    • The CSS code extensively uses :before and :after pseudo elements. Essentially, :before adds the SVG icon and positions it, and :after adds a smaller “white square” which is conveniently positioned behind the :before element using z:-index: -1;

    The purpose of the “white square” is to provide a dirty way to fill in the transparency which is present in the SVG so it looks right.

    This is pretty tough to display on mobile viewports, so it’s best to hide it completely using this code

    @media (max-width: 767px) {
        li[component="post"] a[href*="/groups/verified"].badge, .account a[href*="/groups/verified"].badge {
                display: none !important;
            }
    

    EDIT: Just realised that this icon (being a group) is also displayed on the user’s profile page, so we’ll need CSS to make that look good too…

    I’ve absolutely no idea who this guy is… 🙂

    Here it is

        .account a[href*="/groups/verified"] {
            position: absolute !important;
            z-index: 2;
            background: transparent !important;
            margin-left: -10px;
        }
        .account a[href*="/groups/verified"]:after {
            background: #ffffff !important;
            height: 9px;
            width: 10px;
            content: "";
            display: block;
            top: 10px;
            position: absolute;
            z-index: -1;
            left: 12px;
        }
        .account a[href*="/groups/verified"]:before {
            background: url(https://sudonix.org/assets/images/Twitter_Verified_Badge.svg) !important;
            content: "";
            height: 22px;
            width: 22px;
            display: block;
        }
    

    Enjoy.

    hi @phenomlab, we should be able to download this…

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Twitter_Verified_Badge.svg

    …and recolor it accordingly and upload it to the forum the same way, right? These colors are reminding everyone “twitter” , I believe it would be nicer if it is changed according to the personality of the forum, so it will look more original while maintaining “meaning”…

    I think here on this forum, “sudonix orange” color would look cooler than “twitter blue”

  • additionally, these pages need some adjustments: https://sudonix.org/user/phenomlab

    @crazycells that’s odd. Shouldn’t look like that (at least, it doesn’t on my device). What device are you using?

    @crazycells hmm. That’s a good idea. Let me have a look at that.

  • I had already reported this little problem to you @phenomlab

    The problem only occurs on the profile of other users and not on his own profile. (of memories)

    For my part, I solved this bug with the following code (to be adapted)

    /*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    /*-------------------      USER PROFILE ANIMATION     ------------------------*/
    /*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    
    /*[component="profile/change/picture"] img {
        z-index: 300 !important;
    }*/
    
    
    .avatar-wrapper:before {
        animation-iteration-count: infinite;
        animation: pulsate 4s ease-out infinite;
        border-radius: 50%;
        border: 15px solid var(--bs-link-color);
        content: "";
        height: 180px;
        left: -19px;
        top: -19px;
        opacity: 0;
        position: absolute;
        width: 180px;
        z-index: -1;
    }
    
    /* Change z-index Cover img profile for animation effect */
    .cover, .cover>.container {
        z-index: -2;
    }
    
    /* Avatar on user profile page */
    .account .avatar-wrapper {
        /* border: 4px solid var(--bs-link-color); */
        margin-right: 20px;
    }

        animation-iteration-count: infinite;
        animation: pulsate 4s ease-out infinite;
        border-radius: 50%;
        border: 15px solid var(--bs-link-color);
        content: "";
        height: 180px;
        left: -19px;
        top: -19px;

        width: 180px;
        z-index: -1;

    .cover, .cover>.container {
        z-index: -2;
    }

    .account .avatar-wrapper {
        /* border: 4px solid var(--bs-link-color); */
        margin-right: 20px;
    }
    

    @DownPW yes, I remember, but anything that uses absolute positioning will always be problematic when it comes to dynamically placing elements when the browser window is resized.

    I have another idea which I’m going to try. If that doesn’t work, I’ll likely remove this altogether.

    @DownPW yeap, you are absolutely right. I have just checked, it is not on my profile, but anyone else…

    @crazycells This proved to be much harder than I anticipated. The issue here is that the background is already transparent, so if you make the rosette itself transparent, you can no longer use the :after element as it’s designed to fill in the check mark - not the remainder of the image.

    The only real way this would be possible and without losing yourself in overlapping CSS code would be to edit the image with Illustrator, or InkScape (Open Source) and change the rosette and border colour according to taste.

    Ultimately, it’s not possible to change this on the fly using CSS without significant work. As a result of this, plus your idea yesterday, I have elected to use a Font Awesome icon (Shield with Check Mark) and have made it “Sudonix Orange”.

    @DownPW so me a favor, and let me know if the CSS you provided works as expected when browsing users as a guest? I’m not using the same CSS, but a slightly modified version.

    Interested to get other experiences.

    @phenomlab thanks for the explanation. I assumed it would not be easy, and additionally, if it is easy for you, it was going to be harder for me… since it is already hard for you, I give up 😄

    by the way, I was referring to the orange color in your logo, but I see that the stars are “sudonix orange” and the checkmark is changing depending on the theme you are in…

    But in any case, I believe these more “coherent” colors definitely look better than the previous version… 👍

    @crazycells yes, I noticed that too. It’s because that specific element uses the link color variable which changes with the theme. I need to create a static entry for that as it’s not intended behavior.

  • Hello

    I have added a badge for admin group users, my code works good :

    aa131901-b6b8-4b2f-a180-c385a156d70e-image.png

    but I have this bug when users with this badge provide a solution to an answer. (Quesntion and answer plugin)

    An idea ?

    here my code :

    @eeeee if you’re using the console, you could try node app.js > app.log 2>&1 This would redirect stdout to a file named app.log and redirect stderr to stdout. I’m not sure about standard logging under NodeBB, but there is an error log located at logs/error.log. Failing that, you could always stop the NodeBB service then use ./nodebb dev from the console which would then provide debug output.

    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.

    @baris said: You should change your selectors so it doesn’t look at the entire document. You probably only want to apply fancybox to stuff inside the #content element which is what changes when the user navigates around the page. So use $('#content a').... for your selectors then the forum logo in the header won’t be selected. I modified the JS Fancybox code now and this code and it seem better // --------------------------------------------- // Fancybox Media Reader (Without Website Logo) // --------------------------------------------- if (top.location.pathname !== '/login') { $(window).on('action:posts.loaded', function(data) { console.log("Polling DOM for lazyLoaded images to apply Fancybox"); $(document).ready(function() { $('#content a').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() { $('#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate"); }); }); }); } if (top.location.pathname !== '/login') { $(document).ready(function() { $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) { $('#content a').not('.logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() { $('#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate"); data.preventDefault() // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :) $('#content blockquote img').remove(); }); Fancybox.bind( '#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]', { groupAll: true, } ); }); }); } // Chat fancybox - fires when chat module loaded and AJAX calls new chat $(document).ready(function() { $(window).on('action:chat.loaded', function(data) { // >>> Se limiter au contenu principal uniquement <<< $('#content img').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() { var newHref = $(this).attr("src"); $(this).wrap("<a class='fancybox' href='" + newHref + "'/>"); $('#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate"); data.preventDefault(); // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :) $('#content blockquote img').remove(); }); Fancybox.bind( '#content a[href*=".jpg"], #content a[href*=".jpeg"], #content a[href*=".png"], #content a[href*=".gif"], #content a[href*=".webp"]', { groupAll: true, } ); }); }); For the logo, I must use overflow: visible !important; on [component="brand/logo"] /* --- Logo --- */ [component="brand/logo"] { max-height: 50px; width: auto; height: auto; max-width: 100%; display: block; object-fit: contain; object-position: left center; overflow: visible !important; } Better result !!
