@phenomlab

No javascript ?

I wanted to inspect the code but I can’t find any JS

[phenomlab]

@DownPW it’s definitely there. Won’t work without it

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

I guess, I don’t find it in inspector lol .I will search

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

Can I test it on my dev env ?

EDIT: I test it. If you don’t want tell me Mark

If I have problem, can I ask you @phenomlab ?

[phenomlab]

@DownPW no problems.

@phenomlab said in v3 / Harmony diary:

@DownPW no problems.

Seems I miss something @phenomlab but good start

EDIT: Maybe find

EDIT 2: @phenomlab

Find --> I have forget toAbove and toBottom css directives
It’s better now, just seems toBottom doesn’t work :

.toBottom {
  bottom: 0px !important;
  right: 0px!important;
}

.toAbove {
  bottom: -5px !important;
  right: 400px !important;
}

@DownPW likely you are missing z-index on that class. As you are using position: absolute the index is needed to bring that specific element forward. By default, it’ll sit behind the progress bar meaning it cannot be clicked, but can be seen.

@phenomlab

Thanks for your reply my friend

I will test tomorrow and again, it’s a very great job, I like it a lot.

[phenomlab]

@DownPW no problems. Let me know if you have issues and I can take a look. Can’t release the code formally yet as it’s still beta (and does have very minor bugs).

[phenomlab]

Not sure why, but for a while I’ve been looking at the size of the CSS file that runs the dev site, and I couldn’t understand why it was almost twice the size of what it should be in terms of overall lines.

This eventually got the better of me and I landed up going through the file and removing what appears to be a large amount of duplicated CSS. I primarily work offline using VSCode (my go-to editor), but periodically “fix” things on the fly. The problem with this is that if you make changes online then copy these from the CSS editor in the ACP back to VSCode, they seem to be copied twice - in other words, appended to the existing file despite all text being selected, which should in fact overwrite, but it doesn’t

Just something for everyone else to watch out for. I spent a fair amount of time this afternoon purging duplicate classes, and the end result is a much leaner file.

Thanks to @cagatay for finding a bug with the CSS in relation to tags in DEV. This has been fixed. I also found another bug whilst addressing this one in the sense that the progress bar on mobile (and desktop, but limited intrusion) shows over the tag div when the composer is active.

Changed the scrollbar function so that it does not fire if the composer is visible. Here’s the block of code that detects if it’s active or not

            if ($(window).scrollTop() > 0 && (!$('[component="composer"]').is(":visible"))) {
                bar.addClass('show');
            } else {
                bar.removeClass('show');
            }

Above, we now have 2 conditions. The first is to fire only if the top marker is higher than 0 - for example, hide if we are at the top of the screen. The second condition is that we also only fire if the composer isn’t active - detected by is(":visible")

Keep 'em coming in terms of identified bugs - reporting them is much appreciated.

Hello @phenomlab

I keep working on my CSS
On v2, I displayed user groups in topics like this :

but I can’t seem to get any result. I can’t target the right element

Ideas ?

Many thanks

[phenomlab]

@DownPW hmm. Haven’t tried this myself (yet) but will have a look later this afternoon.

[phenomlab]

@DownPW This should work under v3

a.badge.rounded-1.text-uppercase.text-truncate.text-decoration-none {
    border-radius: 999px !important;
    margin-left: -10px;
    width: 22px;
    max-width: 22px;
}

[DownPW]

Hi @phenomlab

Thanks my friend.
I have this result with code you provided :

It’s better but not perfect.
But it allowed me to target the right element

–> Here is a code improvement for those who are interested :

/* Desktop */
a.badge.rounded-1.text-uppercase.text-truncate.text-decoration-none {
    border-radius: 999px !important;
    margin-right: -10px;
    padding-left: 6px;
    padding-top: 5px;
    width: 20px;
    max-width: 20px !important; 
}

.d-flex.gap-1.hidden-xs.align-items-center {
    margin-left: 15px;
} 

i.fa.fa-edit.text-muted.pointer.edit-icon {
    margin-left: 8px;
}

/* Smartphone */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
a.badge.rounded-1.text-uppercase.text-truncate.text-decoration-none {
    padding-left: 4px;
}
}

Better result :

cya

[phenomlab]

@DownPW yeah, the CSS I provided was based on my forum, so a little tweaking is necessary. Looks great !

[phenomlab]

Been a bit quiet lately, so thought I’d share some new things I’m going to be adding into Sudonix for the v3 release (based on Harmony). As you probably know by now, Sudonix allows you to set the best answer for any questions you ask. I wanted to extend this capability graphically, and came up with these ideas.

First and foremost - say you’re reading a post where someone was able to get the response they needed, and it solved their issue. The next person comes along, and gets the same experience. Wouldn’t it be nice to show your appreciation? Now you can !

Just below the “Accepted Answer” is a newly inserted div which in fact is just a widget, but leverages the power of the NodeBB API to make decisions around which div should be presented.

https://docs.nodebb.org/api/read/#section/Overview

For example

And then, if you are the original poster, have received responses, but are yet to choose the best answer

And, what if you were the original poster, but had no responses? We’ve got that covered too

The code for all of this is relatively simple - an example is shown below

First things first: This additional code will not work properly if you do not have nodebb-plugin-question-and-answer installed. It relies on various values being exposed which are not there if the plugin is not installed.

The first element of code to be added needs to be in ACP->Custom Content (HTML/JS/CSS)->Custom Javascript

$(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function (data) {
    function updateUsername() {
        $('.getUsername .username').text(app.user.username);
        $('.topicUsername').text(app.user.username);
    }
    if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
        document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', updateUsername);
    } else {
        updateUsername();
    }
});

Save.

Then, add the below to ACP->Extend-Widgets->Topic.tpl, and use the HTML Widget (which you’ll need to drag into the place where you want it to appear - the optimum is the Topic Footer.

<head>
  <style>
    span.topicUsername {
      text-transform: capitalize;
    }
  </style>
</head>
  {{{ if isSolved }}}
  <div id="resolved">
    <div class="resolved-wrapper">
      <h5 class="resolved-header">Did this solution help you?</h5>
      <div class="resolved-body">
        <div class="resolved-message">Did you find the suggested solution useful? Why not <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/phenomlab" target=_blank>buy me a coffee<a />? It's a nice gesture, and there's <a href="https://sudonix.com/donate">other ways to donate</a> if you wish <span class="heart">💗</span></div>

        })
        console.log("Total posts = " + ajaxify.data.postcount)

        $("#unreplied").insertBefore('[component="topic/quickreply/container"]');
      })
    }
  </script>
  {{{ end }}}
  {{{ end }}}
  {{{ end }}}
  {{{ end }}}

You’ll notice some interesting features here courtesy of jQuery (and vanilla js where if the page is loaded externally, and jQuery is not loaded, it will fallback to plain, which is this part if (!window.jQuery) )

There’s also a function that will position the newly inserted div into the right place - essentially, this command .insertBefore('[component="topic/quickreply/container"]'); . The purpose of this is to place the div message in where you’d expect to see it - for example, if the post is solved, then it should appear directly underneath the resolution, but if no replies, or if you’re the original poster and you’ve yet to choose an accepted answer, it’ll be at the bottom.

Essentially, we are not only defining a div structure, but using logic to determine placement to ensure it gets the most attention.

And finally, the CSS used below

div#resolved {
    border-radius: 0.375rem;
    border: 2px solid var(--bs-resolved-bg) !important;
    margin-left: 24px;
}
h5.resolved-header {
    color: var(--bs-body-color);
    background: var(--bs-resolved-bg);
    padding: 6px 8px;
    padding-left: 50px;
    font-weight: 600;
    height: 40px;
    line-height: 1.8;
    z-index: 1;
    position: relative;

h5.resolved-header:before {
    content: "\f648";
    font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Pro";
    font-size: 1.5rem;
    font-weight: 300;
    line-height: 1.2;
    vertical-align: bottom;
    margin-right: 10px;
    margin-left: -35px;
}
.resolved-body {
    padding: 20px;
    background: var(--bs-resolved-bg-rgba);
    margin-top: -10px;
}

div#unresolved {
    border-radius: 0.375rem;
    border: 2px solid var(--bs-unresolved-bg) !important;
    margin-left: 24px;
    margin-top: 20px;

    position: relative;

    font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Pro";
    font-size: 1.5rem;
    font-weight: 300;
    line-height: 1.2;
    vertical-align: bottom;
    margin-right: 10px;
    margin-left: -35px;
}
.unresolved-body {
    padding: 20px;
    background: var(--bs-unresolved-bg-rgba);
    margin-top: -10px;
}

div#unreplied {
    border-radius: 0.375rem;
    border: 2px solid var(--bs-unreplied-bg) !important;
    margin-left: 24px;
    margin-top: 20px;
}
h5.unreplied-header {
    color: var(--bs-body-color);
    background: var(--bs-unreplied-bg);
    padding: 6px 8px;
    padding-left: 50px;
    font-weight: 600;
    height: 40px;
    line-height: 1.8;
    z-index: 1;
    position: relative;
}
h5.unreplied-header:before {
    content: "\e36d";
    font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Pro";
    font-size: 1.5rem;
    font-weight: 300;
    line-height: 1.2;
    vertical-align: bottom;
    margin-right: 10px;
    margin-left: -35px;
}
.unreplied-body {
    padding: 20px;
    background: var(--bs-unreplied-bg-rgba);
    margin-top: -10px;
}

Save.

Note that I’m using LESS variables here, so you’ll need to define your own colours if you do not use this standard. I also have a Font Awesome 6 Pro license, so you’ll need to replace that as necessary.

Very good job…

I must just thinking to where put your first part code on nodeBB ACP but I want to test it!

[phenomlab]

@DownPW The first part of the code I supplied will be placed into a widget. In my case, it’s in the below

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

I have tested it seems to work but I seem to be unable to display the username in the replies and I don’t know why for this moment

<span class=“topicUsername”> doesn’t seem to work
