    Here’s a small modification to the chatBanner function that will place the message just above the composer/reply component meaning it is pinned at the bottom and always in view as a reminder. I’ve made this change to support the threadedChat I’m currently developing

    // Chat message banner function chatBanner() { var roomName = $("h5[component='chat/header/title']").text().trim(); var bannerContent; if (roomName === "Testing 3") { bannerContent = '<div id="chatbanner">This message will fire for chat rooms with the title of "Testing 3"</div>'; } else { bannerContent = '<div id="chatbanner">This session is for <strong>private discussion only</strong> between the chosen participants. Please do <strong>not</strong> place support requests here and create a <a href="#" onclick="app.newTopic();">new topic</a> instead.</div>'; } var chatMessagesContainer = $('[component="chat/system-message"]:last-of-type'); //var existingMessages = $('[component="chat/message"]'); var existingMessages = $('[component="chat/composer"]'); if (existingMessages.length === 0) { // If there are no messages, append the banner to the messages container chatMessagesContainer.first().after(bannerContent); } else { // If there are messages, add the banner after the last message // existingMessages.last().after(bannerContent); existingMessages.before(bannerContent); } }

    There are only two changes here:

    var existingMessages = $('[component="chat/message"]');

    becomes

    var existingMessages = $('[component="chat/composer"]');

    and

    existingMessages.last().after(bannerContent);

    becomes

    existingMessages.before(bannerContent);

    Unable to change icon in NodeBB navigation

    I got hit with this today. As I have a Pro subscription to Font Awesome, this allows me to use a much wider range of fonts. Unfortunately, NodeBB only seems to list the free fonts, so in order to use the Pro icons, you have to manually type the font name you want (leave the fa- part off, as it’s not needed).

    No issues, so I went ahead and typed in the name. Below is the result

    Now, despite the icon not showing here, it does once you save and reload the site. Great - problem solved then?

    Yes - until you want to change the icon back…

    Highlight over an unchanged icon, and you’ll see the mouse pointer change meaning there is a link behind it

    However, hover over one you’ve changed by typing in the value manually, and you’ll see the link is gone

    Panic stations… headless chicken… major cussing session… No - there is a way out

    Fire up the dev tools (F12 for console), and press the select tool. Now select the element with the missing link

    In the resultant element list, follow the HTML until you reach

    2eedea09-2675-4fe0-a28d-a89ff29dc4f3-image.png

    change-icon-link hidden

    Now delete the hidden part, so you are left with just change-icon-link and press enter

    You’ll see that the alt text appears for the image, which is enough for you to be able to click the anchor, and change the icon

    There you go. Now enjoy how smug you feel that you’ve sorted this problem yourself 🙂

    Seems like Google is finally crawling this site. And, “crawling” in the sense that it’s still extremely slow …

    @DownPW odd indeed. Looks like it’s spawning, immediately dying, then spawning again.

    @crazycells yes, this is something I see on a daily basis and despite how shockingly simple it is to conduct SIM jacking, it seems that several of the USA based banks are reluctant to switch to at least TOTP in the same sense as the USA has been extremely slow to adopt chip and pin - something Europe has been making use of for years.

    And they wonder why cheque and wire fraud is rife in America.

    @小城风雨多 Looking at the above, it seems you are missing the command to use nodebb for example. Otherwise, you are running the command against the admin database 🙂 Made that mistake myself before…

    @phenomlab said in Advantages and disadvantages of changing to Ubuntu?:

    @jac Yeah, I wouldn’t just leap into it unless you have a valid reason (such as the laptop no longer working and needing to be reinstalled). Probably better the devil you know currently.

    Absolutely mate, and generally as discussed that is the only time I have changed over to Ubuntu once the laptop has got slower.

    For now I will carry on with Windows, purchase the VPN & BitDefender in later October / early November and then see how all that runs for a few more months 👍🏻.
