What is this bar called?

Solved Customisation
  • It’s weird @phenomlab because I tested by removing all the custom css except the reading bar and it’s the same.

    Have you testing without custom css for see that ?

    On custom JS maybe ?

  • @DownPW I am able to reproduce this, yes. There are some CSS classes missing

    .reading-meter {
        visibility: hidden;
    }
    .reading-meter.show {
        visibility: visible;
    }
    

    I’ve added these on your DEV server and updated the original post. Sorry 😕

  • No problem my friend, I won’t complain 😉

  • I saw another bug.

    This bug occurs on the home page. No problem on recent page for example

    When you scroll down (to go to the bottom of the page) and then click on the button at the bottom right, it goes up automatically but the reading bar in the header does not disappear

    here a video :

  • @DownPW thanks. Not sure why that happens - I’ve not noticed it before! Will check.

  • @phenomlab

    just for info, same bug on tags page and groups page

  • @DownPW Can you test this revised code for me please

    // Scroll to top function
    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
        var matched = false;
        $(document).ready(function() {

            var bar = $('.reading-meter');
            var perWidth = $('.reading-meter').width();

            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')) {

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

    @DownPW Can you test this revised code for me please

    Yep !
    Done

    Seem to be good for me 🙂

  • Hello @phenomlab

    I find a bug 🙂

    For example, I’m on the home page and I scroll down.
    The button at the bottom right appears.
    If I then go directly to the chat for example, the button remains and interferes with navigation/chat

    Same for all notifications page

    We need a function to deactivate the button depending on the page/URL (chats, notifications, user) like you did for the reading meter bar

    blink2.gif

    My code :

    // Scroll to top function / Reading Meter Bar / 
    // 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

                var isFound = false;

                    }
                }
                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

  • @DownPW thanks for reporting. Let me see if I can reproduce this.

  • @DownPW Can you replace your function with this one and let me know?

    // Scroll to top function

    @cagatay reported something similar a while back IIRC and this was the solution.

    Thanks

  • nope sorry, same things

  • @DownPW hmm. Odd. I’ll have to take a look at that. Not seeing that here and I think that’s the same for @cagatay

  • @DownPW Can you try with this code?

    // Scroll to top function
    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
        var matched = false;

  • seems to be good my friend 🙂

  • @DownPW not sure if you’ve noticed, but (at least for me) the scroll to top function no longer works?

    EDIT - there is a bug in the above code. Please use this updated version

    // Scroll to top function
    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
        var matched = false;
        $(document).ready(function() {

            var bar = $('.reading-meter');
            var perWidth = $('.reading-meter').width();
            
            // Main progressbar function

                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')) {

  • It’s funny I just realized it and I was going to share it here and I see your message!!
    Thanks you Mark @phenomlab 😉

    On the other hand, I have never been careful but I have the impression that the page is reloaded when you click on the button.
    I don’t know if it’s me but before, (on v2 perhaps?) we saw the page scroll from bottom to top after pressing the button

    I find this strange. I’ve never seen this on other sites using the same type of scroll to top

  • @DownPW you are right - it used to scroll to the top but I changed it because “scroll top” actually only applied to what was in the DOM at the time meaning that as data was being added, the “top” position was no longer a true representation and so the button had to be clicked multiple times to reach the “real” top.


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 💗

    @Norrad Are you looking for anything in particular? I only ask because Sudonix uses a number of custom functions which I wrote, but all are available on GitHub and fully supported here.

    @cagatay You could experiment with nodebb-plugin-ns-embed but I expect the x-origin tag on the remote site to prevent playback.

    The real issue here is that most people consider forums to be “dead” in the sense that nobody uses them anymore, and social media groups have taken their place. Their once dominant stance in the 90’s and early 00’s will never be experienced again, but having said that, there are a number of forums that did in fact survive the social media onslaught, and still enjoy a large user base.

    Forums tend to be niche. One that immediately sticks out is Reddit - despite looking like it was designed in the 80s, it still has an enormous user base. Another is Stack Overflow, which needs no introduction. The key to any forum is the content it offers, and the more people whom contribute in terms of posting , the more popular and widely respected it becomes as a reliable source of information.

    Forums are still intensely popular with gamers, alongside those that offer tips on hacking etc.

    @phenomlab That will be nice once they have completed that. It will be interesting to see how long that takes. So for now I will use custom css to make it look the way I want. Frameworks just make things a little faster. Thanks @phenomlab

    @phenomlab said in nodebb dropdown menu:

    @kurulumu-net You set it like the below example taken from this site

    aae36790-3257-4bb2-ad5a-0d744309876a-image.png

    Which presents this

    77f47260-2941-4afe-9614-8e17dcfc8c19-image.png

    Very interesting…

    I actually thought this wasn’t possible, as I remember it being asked in the NodeBB forum.

    Is this something new that’s been implemented? I’ll 100% be doing that when I’m on the laptop over the weekend.
