NodeBB: The global Search option

Solved Configure

    Hi,
    I noticed both on the NodeBB forum, Sudonix forum, and mine also, there is no Search functionality. I would like this very much because I would like people to search for a past answer before asking for a new one. Maybe, I am looking at the wrong place, or do I need to activate it from admin?

    My apologies! I have found the Search field on NodeBB and your site. I just need to figure out how to get it on my site. Could it be because I have no posts yet?

    @mventures Not quite - it’s because of this

    It’s installed, but not activated by default

    Every time you install or uninstall a plugin, you need to rebuild NodeBB

    Confirm, and wait for NodeBB to restart

    Now go back to your site

    You should see that Search has appeared

    That’s awesome @phenomlab! Thank you. I can see it 🙂

    What did you mean by, “rebuild NodeBB”? And the whole rebuild happens by just clicking that “recycle” button?

    @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.

    @Panda You should be able to expose the CSS for these using F12 to get into console [image: 1686833368846-3591518c-e3a3-4ada-a43c-6b32a5e0359c-image.png] [image: 1686833399483-a2b8ed46-4157-4ff2-85f0-576543380107-image.png] That should then expose the element once selected [image: 1686833431032-89d9c545-a47a-40d1-98f4-80cf3b958e8f-image.png] Here’s the below CSS you need based on the screenshot provided. .composer .formatting-bar .formatting-group li[data-format="picture-o"], .composer .formatting-bar .formatting-group li[data-format="spoiler"] { display: none; }

    @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); }); }); });

    @DownPW This is now resolved. The issue was an incorrect URL specified in the Nodebb plugin. I’ve corrected this, and now it works as intended.
