Solved Customisation
  • Faced some problem with v3 version as photo;

  • @cagatay @DownPW ok, I think I have a solution that is also easily expanded upon. After looking into this in more detail, the calls between standard posts, categories, etc are handled differently when calling chats.

    Based on this, you should use the below modified progress bar js code (replace what you have)

    // Navigation / Scrollbar
    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
        var matched = false;
        $(document).ready(function() {
            var bar = $('.reading-meter');
            // Main progressbar function
            window.onscroll = function() {
                pageScroller();
            };
    
            function pageScroller() {
                var winScroll = document.body.scrollTop || document.documentElement.scrollTop;
                var height = document.documentElement.scrollHeight - document.documentElement.clientHeight;
                var scrolled = (winScroll / height) * 100;
                document.getElementById("progress-bar").style.width = parseFloat(scrolled).toFixed(0) + "%";
                $('#percentage').val(parseFloat(scrolled).toFixed(0) + "%");
                
            $(window).scroll(function() {
            var bar = $('.reading-meter');
            var thisURL = window.location.href;
            var checkURL = new Array("topic", "notifications", "user");
            var isFound = false;
            for (var i = 0, len = checkURL.length; i < len; i++) {
                if (thisURL.indexOf(checkURL[i]) > -1) {
                    isFound = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
            if (isFound) {
                //console.log("Page '" + checkURL[i] + "' is in URL - hide progress bar");
                bar.removeClass('show');
            } else {
                // Exception here is that we don't want the scroll bar to show when the composer is active
                if ($(window).scrollTop() > 0 && (!$('[component="composer"]').is(":visible"))) {
                    bar.addClass('show');
                } else {
                   bar.removeClass('show');
                }
                var x = $('[component="bottombar"]').css("bottom");
                var bpos = x.slice(0, -2);
                //console.log("Bottom bar position is " + bpos);
                $(document).ready(function() {
                    if ($(window).width() < 767) {
                        if (bpos == '0') {
                            $('.toAbove').attr('style', 'bottom: 50px !important');
                        } else {
                            $('.toAbove').attr('style', 'bottom: 0px !important');
                        }
                    }
                });
            }
            });
        }
        });
        $(document).on("click", "#pageUp", function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            $('html, body').animate({
                scrollTop: 0
            }, '300');
        });
        $(document).on("click", "#pageDown", function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            $("html, body").animate({
                scrollTop: $(document).height()
            }, '300');
        });
    });
    

    Directly underneath, you should also add

    /*
    Set pages where the progress bar should not be shown - see examples
    in below array, and ensure you follow the same syntax for any you need to 
    add
    */
    
    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
        $(document).ready(function() {
            var bar = $('.reading-meter');
            var thisURL = window.location.href;
            var checkURL = new Array("topic", "notifications", "user");
            var isFound = false;
            for (var i = 0, len = checkURL.length; i < len; i++) {
                if (thisURL.indexOf(checkURL[i]) > -1) {
                    isFound = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
            if (isFound) {
                //console.log("Page '" + checkURL[i] + "' is in URL - hide progress bar");
                bar.removeClass('show');
            }
        });
    });
    

    You’ll notice that both of these functions make use of arrays - here, it’s possible to state the page where you do not want the progress bar to trigger. For example

            var checkURL = new Array("topic", "notifications", "user");
    

    See how each URL component to check is in quotes (and comma separated) - you can add your own here, so for example, if you wanted to include an “about” page, you’d have

            var checkURL = new Array("topic", "notifications", "user", "about");
    

    This needs to be present in both functions to work properly.

    This code will prevent the progress bar firing on user, notifications, and topic but (as you can see) is easily extended to cover multiple locations.

    Try it out and let me know how you get on. It’s active here currently.

  • @cagatay That code isn’t to be used for v3. I’ll update the original post.

  • So i should delete it?

  • @cagatay I’m checking your site now and cannot see this issue ?

  • its happening sometime not everytime

  • @cagatay very odd - it shouldn’t trigger there at all !!

  • @cagatay said in Reading Meter Progress bar:

    its happening sometime not everytime

    Actually, I think I might know what this is. Does it appear after you’ve been scrolling through recent posts for example, then click on a PM to view that ? The output of NaN (Not a Number) usually means that what you are seeing is actually an artefact that should have been removed.

  • got the point thanks

  • @cagatay Sorry - that’s not what I meant - can you confirm if that is the case? If it is, it’s a simple fix, but needs some new code on your site.

  • yes it happened as you explanied Mark.
    But not just it on phone the scrool not working and the page is freezing.

  • @cagatay That’s very strange. Perhaps you should remove it then for the time being. Something clearly isn’t right there.

  • @cagatay @DownPW looking for suggestions here. I’m able to replicate this issue (now that I better understand it), and to me, the best solution is for the progress bar to not fire on certain pages - clearly, chat is one of them, but there are others also I expect, and it’s this that I’d appreciate your feedback on.

  • phenomlabundefined phenomlab referenced this topic on
  • i copied, works normally.

  • @cagatay works as intended ?

  • it not works on topics but on the main page and chat yes working.

  • @cagatay perfect. That’s the exact behavior intended.

  • This post is deleted!
  • Your code works perfectly for chat on desktop bit not on mobile.
    I’m alone ?

  • @DownPW I think you might be, yes. Seems to work fine for me - @cagatay ?


Did this solution help you?
Did you find the suggested solution useful? Why not buy me a coffee? It's a nice gesture, and a great way to show your appreciation 💗

    @DownPW Technically, it should be possible with the addition of the below

    Toolbar: { display: { left: ["infobar"], middle: [ "zoomIn", "zoomOut", "toggle1to1", "rotateCCW", "rotateCW", "flipX", "flipY", ], right: ["slideshow", "thumbs", "close"], }, },

    Meaning your code block becomes

    function fancybox() { if (top.location.pathname !== '/login') { $(document).ready(function() { $('a').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() { $('a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"], a[href*=".svg"]').addClass("noanimate"); }); }); Fancybox.bind( 'a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"], a[href*=".svg"]', { Toolbar: { display: { left: ["infobar"], middle: [ "zoomIn", "zoomOut", "toggle1to1", "rotateCCW", "rotateCW", "flipX", "flipY", ], right: ["slideshow", "thumbs", "close"], }, }, } ); } }

    Note, that you just need to add/remove the elements in the toolbar you do not need. Obviously, zoomIn and zoomOut are the ones you are specifically interested in. However, if Fancybox detects that the image has already been zoomed as far as possible, then this will not work. You’d need an external library such as zoom.js to add this functionality, or perhaps simpler

    https://www.jacklmoore.com/zoom/

    A good example of how you’d make these two independent libraries work together is below

    https://codepen.io/ezra_siton/pen/VgrjKw

    It’s worth nothing that this specific code is based on Fancybox 3, so may need to be refactored to work with the latest version 5.

    @Panda said in Sudonix and fediverse:

    Federation will have huge advantages, especially for starting off forums that would otherwise be quiet, because it can bring in posts from similar sites to increase content.

    Can’t say I agree with this statement. To me, if I visit a new forum, I’d much rather be viewing original content rather than that which I can easily consume elsewhere. I understand that new forums are often empty with not much content, but the growth needs to be organic rather than ingested from elsewhere to make it look busy.

    Using RSS feeds to pull in content from remote sites is fine as long as you use it for reading reference and create a discussion around the topic you are referring to (as I do with Sudonix), but absolutely pointless if you include the entire article and all associated responses - you may as well just visit the origin site instead.

    Another issue is SEO and the impact duplicated content will have on your own forum when it comes to Google indexing your site. Duplicated content negatively impacts SEO and in addition, that same content may be proprietary meaning you need permission to include it on your site.

    Potentially, it’s a legal minefield which should be treated with trepidation to ensure no copyright infringement takes place.
