What is this bar called?

Solved Customisation
  • 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

    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
            $(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").animate({
                        scrollTop: 0
                    }, '300');
                    return false;
                } else {
                    ajaxify.refresh();
                }
                $('#progress-bar').width(0);
                pageUp.removeClass('show');
            });
        });
    });
    
  • @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
    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
        var matched = false;
        $(document).ready(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;
        $(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
            function checkURL() {
                var thisURL = window.location.href;

                        break;
                    }
                }
                
                return isFound;
            }
    
            // Function to update visibility based on URL and composer

                    } else {
                        bar.removeClass('show');
                        pageUp.removeClass('show');
                    }
                }
            }
    
            // Call updateVisibility initially
            updateVisibility();
    
            // Bind updateVisibility function to the window's scroll event
            $(window).scroll(function() {
                updateVisibility();
            });
        });
    });
    
    
  • 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() {

            // 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')) {

  • 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.

  • Ok, thanks to confirm 🙂
    so I have no possibility of modifying it to display the same effect as on v2?

  • @DownPW it can easily be reverted, but I don’t want to maintain two sets of code. I’ll defer to others here for that final decision as I know it did cause some confusion.

  • no problem dude @phenomlab 🙂
    I put a modification here that seems to work as a reminder if you don’t mind.

    –> If yes, you can delete it.

    use $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, '300'); to smoothly scroll the page to the top when the #pageUp button is clicked. This code will provide a smooth scrolling effect from the bottom to the top of the page without reloading it.

    What do you think of 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;

  • @DownPW looks good to me.

  • @DownPW Just to circle back to this, the decision to reload the page instead of multiple scrolling / clicking was based on this discussion, which I’m including here for brevity

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

    @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.

    you are right @phenomlab the code I gave yesterday works but does the same thing as you described.

    here a mix of the 2 (scroll to top & scroll to top with refresh)

    // Scroll to top function (classic scroll to top)
    $(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
            function checkURL() {
                var thisURL = window.location.href;
                var checkArray = ["topic", "notifications", "user"];
                var isFound = false;
                
                for (var i = 0, len = checkArray.length; i < len; i++) {
                    if (thisURL.indexOf(checkArray[i]) > -1) {
                        isFound = true;
                        break;
                    }
                }
                
                return isFound;
            }
    
            // Function to update visibility based on URL and composer
            function updateVisibility() {

        }
    });
    

    I found it interesting to keep the scroll effect on the home page

    The scroll to top with refresh is applied on the routes indicated in the script (/recent, /unread, etc.). The classic scroll to top applies to other pages and the scroll to top is disabled in chat, etc…

    For the previous script, I used the code from your v2 and doing myself but I’m not being a good JS developer, so this time I asked to ChatGPT to help me, sorry !

    I tested the code and it seems to work correctly without any bugs but could you check @phenomlab if this seems correct to you even if the code works?

    A machine will not replace humans in this regard. At least for now 🙂

  • @DownPW 🙂 Love it - let me try this out!

    EDIT - Tried it, and there’s a couple of bugs. For example, if you use a custom page, scroll to the bottom, then use the back to top button, you have to scroll the mouse wheel down 16 times (if you do it quickly - depending on intervals it can be much less) before it’ll work properly. This is animation jitter as far as I can see where the animation does not complete on time and is therefore stuck in a loop.

    Have a look yourself here and see if you get the same experience

  • Seems you can fix this by using e.preventDefault() see below

        // Scroll to top when #pageUp is clicked
        $(document).on("click", "#pageUp", function(e) {
            e.preventDefault(); // Prevent default behavior
            $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, '300'); // Animate scrolling to top
            $('#progress-bar').width(0);
            pageUp.removeClass('show');
        });

    Ah, got it working!
    I reversed the CSS addition to put z index high, and then I could see another error box saying fork title must be at least 3 characters.
    So made the new fork title longer and button responded.

    @eveh Welcome board 🙂

    The code you are referring to is custom written as no such functionality exists under NodeBB. However, adding the functionality is relatively trivial. Below are the required steps

    Navigate to /admin/appearance/customise#custom-header Add the below code to your header, and save once completed <ol id="mainbanner" class="breadcrumb"><li id="addtext">Your Title Goes Here</li></ol> Navigate to /admin/appearance/customise#custom-js and add the below code, then save $(document).ready(function() { $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) { // Initialise mainbanner ID, but hide it from view $('#mainbanner').hide(); var pathname = window.location.pathname; if (pathname === "/") { $("#addtext").text("Your Title"); $('#mainbanner').show(); } else {} // If we want to add a title to a sub page, uncomment the below and adjust accordingly //if (pathname === "/yourpath") { //$("#addtext").text("Your Title"); //$('#mainbanner').show(); //} }); }); Navigate to /admin/appearance/customise#custom-css and add the below CSS block .breadcrumb { right: 0; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; background: #0086c4; color: #ffffff; width: 100vw; position: relative; margin-left: -50vw; left: 50%; top: 50px; position: fixed; z-index: 1020; }

    Note, that you will need to adjust your CSS code to suit your own site / requirements.

    @cagatay you’ll need to define this in the body tag (or another element if you want greater or more granular targets) - for example

    body { font-family: "Poppins"; font-size: 16px; }

    Essentially, you use the font-size CSS directive.
