  • @phenomlab yes, I was joking about my half star, but youre right, tone is hard to convey. I should have put a laughing emoji, as attempt at humour can be misinterpreted.

    Incidentally what is the fractional, not even half, star about?!
    When do I earn a full star? 😊

    @Panda no issues at all. If you click on your half star, it’ll tell you how far away you are from the next level. At the rate you’re interacting, it won’t take long 👍

    Edit - if you go to your profile page and click your current level, that will tell you how many points you need to get to the next level.

    Seems you need 8 points.

    You know, that’s a good point. There are lots of other forums around that use the same schematic, so I was being lazy and followed their lead. Open to suggestions on your this though.

    @phenomlab its a minor detail really.
    I clicked on it and saw Im not far away from a full star, but thats actually a hollow star (not filled in)
    So I suppose you would expect a half filled in star to progress to a filled in star?
    Anyway its a tiny detail.
    If using unfilled stars, maybe just start with one and increase the number of stars.

    @Panda yes, that’s a really good point. I’m using the pro version of Font Awesome but looking at it now after the point you just made, it seems somewhat nonsensical and should be changed.

    Either 0-50 gets one star and so on, or I use a different icon to show new users. I didn’t want anyone coming here to be without any form of recognition hence 0-50.

    On a more important point, I made a post on Nodebb trying to clarify why Reputation is stored as two values in the database
    A reputation value
    A reputation score

    It seems somewhat duplicated, can you explain the difference

    @Panda I think the value is for the icon, and the score is the actual number.

    @phenomlab
    As a design point, always a risk for bugs having duplicated data.
    It would be better to just store score, and then get the icon from the table that stores icon cutoffs.

    @Panda yes, that’s hard to argue. I’d just store numbers then use logic to determine which icon should be issued based on that.

    However, I do see the reasoning for NodeBB’s approach s this was previously a community plugin and backwards completely of course has to be considered.

    Just my personal opinion, I wish it had been left as plugin. Im assuming from your comment Reputation code is core now?

    I disabled this reputation on some forums. Have you seen the 10rules of how its calculated?
    One of rules is something like:
    by down-voting the object user loses x% subject to maxmin(5,50) and the subject loses y%, subject to criterias 1-10.
    All sounded a bit complicated!
    I am fundementally minimalist, so despite Flarums list of disadvantages, it has a clean start position.
    NodeBB should be wary of throwing too much in as default and then ending up with bugs.
    Just my opinion

    @Panda yes, that’s why I disabled down voting here. If you don’t like a post, move on. Simple.

    It’s still a plugin, but officially supported by NodeBB. The user level plugin doesn’t have any bearing on reputation. There is another plugin that exerts greater control over the reputation system and I think you might have that installed (as I do). From recollection, the core values are quite basic unless there’s something in the underlying code that would dictate otherwise?

  • Seems to be very good. Can you give code CSS & JS for that and I Can test ?

    Of course - but beware as some of this code will be in use in the existing progress bar you have (specifically #pageup)

    JS

    $(document).on("click", "#pageUp", function(e) {
    	const firstTopic = $('[component="category/topic"][data-index="0"]');
    	if (firstTopic.length) {
    		$("html, body").animate({
    			scrollTop: 0
    		}, '300');
    	} else {
    		ajaxify.refresh();
    	}	
    });
    

    CSS

    #pageUp {
      display: inline-block;
      background: var(--bs-body-component-active);
      width: 50px;
      height: 50px;
      text-align: center;
      border-radius: 0.375rem;
      position: fixed;
      bottom: 70px;
      right: 80px;
      transition: background-color .3s, opacity .5s, visibility .5s;
      opacity: 0;
      visibility: hidden;
    }
    #pageUp.show {
      opacity: 1;
      visibility: visible;
      z-index: 10000;
      color: var(--bs-body-navbar-color) !important;
    }
    a#pageUp.show:hover {
      background: var(--bs-dropdown-link-hover-bg);
      border: 1px solid var(--bs-border-color);
    }
    a#pageUp i {
        position: absolute;
        top: 32%;
        left: 35%;
    }
    
    @media (max-width: 767px) {
        #pageUp {
            bottom: 60px;
            right: 30px;
          }
        }

    Hi @phenomlab

    Thanks for sharing 🙂

    It’s the code for this reading bar :

    image.png

    In my point of view, it’s definitively better 😉

    @phenomlab

    It seems to be missing things because I don’t have the reading bar in the header and not have the button at the bottom right too 🙄

    Could you provide me with the complete code in JS & CSS as if I was starting from scratch?

    @DownPW Here you go. Remove any other references you have in custom JS that relate to the previous progress bar, and replace with this

    // Scroll to top function
    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
        var matched = false;
        $(document).ready(function() {
            var pageUp = $('#pageUp');
            var bar = $('.reading-meter');
            var perWidth = $('.reading-meter').width();
            
            // Main progressbar function
            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) + "%");
    
            // Prevent the mouse scroll wheel from scrolling down after the pageUp button is clicked
            if ($('#pageUp').is(':focus')) {
            event.preventDefault();
            }
        }
    
            // Bind the pageScroller function to the window's scroll event
            $(window).scroll(function() {
                pageScroller();
            });
    
            // Check the URL and composer visibility separately from the scroll event
            $(window).scroll(function() {
                var thisURL = window.location.href;
                var checkURL = ["topic", "notifications", "user"];
                var isFound = false;
                for (var i = 0, len = checkURL.length; i < len; i++) {
                    if (thisURL.indexOf(checkURL[i]) > -1) {
                        isFound = true;
                        break;
                    }
                }
                if (isFound) {
                    bar.removeClass('show');
                    pageUp.removeClass('show');
                } else {
                    // Exception here is that we don't want the scroll bar to show when the composer is active
                    if ($(window).scrollTop() > 0 && (!$('[component="composer"]').is(":visible"))) {
                        bar.addClass('show');
                        pageUp.addClass('show');
                    } else {
                        bar.removeClass('show');
                        pageUp.removeClass('show');
                    }
                }
            });
    
            // Scroll to top when #pageUp is clicked
            $(document).on("click", "#pageUp", function(e) {
                const firstTopic = $('[component="category/topic"][data-index="0"]');
                if (firstTopic.length) {
                    $("html, body").animate({
                        scrollTop: 0
                    }, '300');
                } else {
                    ajaxify.refresh();
                }	
            });
        });
    });
    
    

    Now in the custom header, remove the previous code that probably looks something like this

    <div id="readingposition" class="reading-meter" style="bottom: 0px;">
        <div class="pageUp" id="pageUp"><i class="fa fa-angle-double-left pointer" aria-hidden="true"></i></div>
        <div class="pageDown" id="pageDown"><i class="fa fa-angle-double-right pointer" aria-hidden="true"></i></div>
        <div class="reading-meter-background rounded-1 border border-gray-300 ready">
        <div class="reading-meter-progress-bar rounded-1" id="progress-bar">
            <input disabled="disabled" type="text" id="percentage" name="percentage">
            </div>
      </div>  
      </div>
    

    And replace with this

    <a id="pageUp" class=""><i class="fas fa-chevron-up"></i></a>
    <div id="readingposition" class="reading-meter" style="bottom: 0px;">
        <div class="reading-meter-background rounded-1 border border-gray-300 ready">
        <div class="reading-meter-progress-bar rounded-1" id="progress-bar">
            </div>
      </div>  
      </div>
    

    Now use the CSS provided below (note, that you may have previous CSS that already exists if you used the older version of the progress bar - you should remove that)

    #pageUp {
      display: inline-block;
      background: var(--bs-body-component-active);
      width: 50px;
      height: 50px;
      text-align: center;
      border-radius: 0.375rem;
      position: fixed;
      bottom: 70px;
      right: 80px;
      transition: background-color .3s, opacity .5s, visibility .5s;
      opacity: 0;
      visibility: hidden;
    }
    #pageUp.show {
      opacity: 1;
      visibility: visible;
      z-index: 10000;
      color: var(--bs-body-navbar-color) !important;
    }
    a#pageUp.show:hover {
      background: var(--bs-dropdown-link-hover-bg);
      border: 1px solid var(--bs-border-color);
    }
    a#pageUp i {
        position: absolute;
        top: 32%;
        left: 35%;
    }
    .reading-meter {
        position: fixed;
        width: 100%;
        top: 0;
        left: 0;
        right: 0;
        height: 2px !important;
    }
    .reading-meter {
        visibility: hidden;
    }
    .reading-meter.show {
        visibility: visible;
    }
    
    
    div#readingposition {
        background-color: var(--bs-body-navbar) !important;
        color: var(--bs-body-color) !important;
        height: 2px;
        z-index: 1000;
    }
    
    .reading-meter-progress {
        border: 1px solid var(--bs-border-color);
        width: 100%;
    }
    
    .reading-meter-background {
        background: var(--bs-body-bg);
    }
    
    .reading-meter-progress-bar {
        background: var(--bs-progress-bg-bar);
        height: 2px;
    }
    input#percentage {
        display: none;
    }
     
    @media (max-width: 767px) {
        #pageUp {
            bottom: 60px;
            right: 30px;
          }
        }
     
    
    

    That should do it.

    That should do it.

    And where you put/replace this @phenomlab ? :

    @phenomlab said in What is this bar called?:

    And replace with this

    <div id="readingposition" class="reading-meter" style="bottom: 0px;">
        <div class="reading-meter-background rounded-1 border border-gray-300 ready">
        <div class="reading-meter-progress-bar rounded-1" id="progress-bar">
            </div>
      </div>  
      </div>```
    

    In the custom header I guess ?

    It seems to be worse. The JS no longer works.

    When I remove the customJS and custom Header code. The website is OK

    Could there be an error/omission in the given code? A typo in the code?

    @cagatay The most reliable way to upgrade Node.js on Ubuntu depends on how you originally installed it. Method 1: Using NVM (Recommended) If you already use Node Version Manager (NVM), upgrading is simple. NVM allows you to keep both versions and switch between them if needed. Install Node 22: nvm install 22 Switch to Node 22: nvm use 22 Set it as your default: nvm alias default 22 Verify the change: node -v Method 2: Using NodeSource (PPA) If you installed Node.js via apt using the NodeSource repository, you need to update the repository script to point to the new version. Remove the old NodeSource list (optional but cleaner): sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list Download and run the NodeSource setup script for Node 22: curl -fsSL [https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x](https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x) | sudo -E bash - Install/Upgrade Node.js: sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Verify the installation: node -v Method 3: Using the ‘n’ Package If you have npm installed, you can use the n interactive manager. Clear the npm cache: sudo npm cache clean -f Install the ‘n’ helper: sudo npm install -g n Install Node 22: sudo n 22 Update your shell: hash -r Troubleshooting Permission Denied: If you see permission errors using Method 2 or 3, ensure you are using sudo. Path Issues: If node -v still shows version 20 after upgrading via NVM, restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc. Conflicts: Avoid mixing these methods. If you switch from apt to nvm, it is best to sudo apt remove nodejs first to avoid path conflicts.

    @Panda You should be able to expose the CSS for these using F12 to get into console [image: 3591518c-e3a3-4ada-a43c-6b32a5e0359c-image.png] [image: a2b8ed46-4157-4ff2-85f0-576543380107-image.png] That should then expose the element once selected [image: 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; }

    @eveh this might be a question for the NodeBB Devs themselves. In all honesty, I’m not entirely sure without having to research this myself.
