What is this bar called?

Solved Customisation
  • @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.

  • @phenomlab
    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?

  • @DownPW said in What is this bar called?:

    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.

  • Will test ASAP, i’m on new OGproxy conf now

  • 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?

  • @DownPW strange. Is this on your dev server? I’ll take a look tomorrow morning.

  • nope on my VM but you have an account on dev server

  • @DownPW ok. I’ll try it there tomorrow.

    I must have been drunk or high on something else when I provided the code as there are large chunks of CSS missing, and a rogue closing parenthesis! That’s what too much work does I suppose 🙂

    I’ve implemented the CORRECT version of this on your DEV site (tested ok) and updated the post so it reflects reality 😱

  • I thought something was missing… 🙂

    I totally understand. Very tired me too at the moment and like you a lot of work provided between my job and the one done outside on PW

    @Panda said in Interesting Widget code, but can’t fetch API:

    How did you drop that widget into the post there?
    I hadnt seen this BSgenerator anywhere on sudonix site, do you use it somewhere already?

    Yes, here

    https://sudonix.org/topic/414/corporate-bullshit-generator?_=1687774393044

    It’s not a “post” or “topic” in the common sense. It is actually a page in it’s own right and leverages nodebb-plugin-custom-pages. This in turn creates a new “route” which behaves like a page, meaning it is then exposed for widgets.

    @Panda said in Interesting Widget code, but can’t fetch API:

    Also can you explain more what you mean by calling the code externally. In my API call example, how would I go about doing that?

    By this, I mean create all the required code in an external JS file that is reachable by the NodeBB instance - so, in “public” for example - or in my case /public/js. The widget then “calls” that file and because it runs outside of the scope of NodeBB, you just need to return the values to the widget.

    Hope this makes sense?

    @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.
