Threaded post support for NodeBB

Let's Build It
  • @DownPW Not layout shift in fact, but a lack of CSS being added during the ajaxify.end - in other words, this class is not being added on page load

    li.necro-post.text-muted.timeline-event.d-flex.gap-2.pt-4.threaded {    
        background: transparent !important;
        margin-bottom: 10px !important;
    }
    

    I believe this is because this component type is being added after the page loads, so in fact, it is not in the DOM when the page loads initially, so it is skipped. I have the same issue on Sudonix, but work around it using the below additional CSS

    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline [component="topic/event"].timeline-event, .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline [component="topic/necro-post"].timeline-event {
        margin-bottom: 10px;
    }
    

    I’ve added this to the CSS on your site, which “fixes” (albeit dirty) the problem

    Don’t see this directive on ACP/CSS. I add it myself seems that work.

    Currently, the last message is highlighted (in blue on the gif) and then the reply block shifts to the left (using the margin)

    Is there a possibility that the block will move to the margin directly rather than waiting for the blue indicator to disappear?

    It’s a shame to wait until the blue border-left disappears and then the block shifts to the left.
    It would have to shift directly without waiting

    edit :

    thats seems to work here, no delay :

  • @DownPW yes, because I don’t use a border, but a box shadow to avoid the layout shift. If you add the highlight class I any of the posts here you can capture the CSS.

  • @phenomlab

    seem you use a border non ?

    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline .timeline-event.highlight, .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline > [component="post/placeholder"].highlight, .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline > [component=post].highlight {
        border: 2px solid var(--bs-post-unread) !important;
    }
    
  • @DownPW no, it’s a box shadow

  • odd i see this code in dev console, search better 🙂

    I see too li.pt-4.self-post.highlight.threaded I don’t have this

    EDIT :

    yes resolved by this code :

    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline .timeline-event.highlight, .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline > [component="post/placeholder"].highlight, .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline > [component=post].highlight.threaded {
        border: 2px solid var(--bs-post-unread) !important;
        border-radius: var(--bs-border-radius);
    }
    
    li.pt-4.self-post.highlight.threaded {
        margin-left: 0rem !important;
      }
    

    – RESULT :

  • Here I am again Mark @phenomlab 😉

    I am contributing to this code to add a tooltip to the button.

    The position can be changed according to your wishes.
    For my part, I prefer to put it at the bottom because if we put it at the top it can be annoying.

    Tell me what you think about it ?

    function threaded() {
        $(document).ready(function () {
            // Check if the screen width is 1200px or more
            if ($(window).width() >= 1200) {
                // Check if the dropdown already exists
                if ($('#enableThreading').length === 0) {
                    var threadView = $('<div class="threads-wrapper"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-bars left"></i><form class="form"><div class="form-check form-switch sticky-tools-bar"> \
                        <input class="form-check-input" id="enableThreading" type="checkbox" data-field="enableThreading"> \
                        <label class=" d-none d-md-inline fw-semibold" for="enableThreading"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-bars-staggered right"></i></label> \
                    </div></form></div>');
                    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul [component="topic/browsing-users"]:last-of-type').append(threadView);
                    // Check if there's a stored state for the checkbox and update it
                    var storedState = localStorage.getItem('enableThreadingState');
                    if (storedState === 'true') {
                        $('#enableThreading').prop('checked', true);
                    }
                }
                
                // Add a tooltip to the button
                $('#enableThreading').tooltip({
                    title: 'Thread View On/Off', // Replace with your tooltip text
                    placement: 'Bottom', // Adjust the placement as needed
                    trigger: 'hover', // Show tooltip on hover

                $('#enableThreading').on('change', function () {
                    var isChecked = $(this).is(':checked');
                    if (isChecked) {
                        console.log('Thread view is active.');

    CYA my friend

  • @DownPW looks good to me 😀 I started to write this a few days ago, but got sidetracked and never finished it.

    Good job.

  • I forgot the screen 🙂

    image.png

  • @DownPW looks great.

  • And just modified this for better display (centered)

    .threads-wrapper {
        display: flex;
        position: relative;
        /* top: -2px; */
        top: 1px;
    }
    
  • @DownPW yes, it was styled for this site because it uses heavily modified css.

  • @phenomlab

    I note, however, that here on Sudonix, our own posts and those of other users are not shifted (to the left). Only those of the author of the topics are.

    In the code you provide on Github, the author’s posts and those of others are shifted (to the left), only our own posts are not.

    I do not know if it’s normal.

    It actually seems logical to me that only our own posts are not shifted to just better identify our own posts

  • @DownPW Correct. The design in DEV and the code on Git reflects the points you raised, which is why it was developed from scratch in DEV and was not a copy of PROD. It’s a matter of personal taste 🙂 You can fairly easily change the cosmetic behavior to suit your needs - it’s not set in stone.

  • @DownPW Maybe go one better perhaps, and toggle the on/off state depending on the switch selection (I’m doing that here)

    See https://github.com/phenomlab/nodebb-harmony-threading/blob/main/functions%2Cjs

  • it’s cool too ^^

  • this code does not work for me. No button

    EDIT:

    The code on github is OK, not the last share above

    Sorry - changed that to the Git link

  • Just don’t forget to comment out lines for browsing-users plugin

    I’m got screwed 😉

    Good work my friend

    No. It’s a shared cache

    @eeeee said in restarting nodebb on boot:

    can I just run nodebb under nodemon for auto restarts?

    It’s a better method. Nodemon just looks for file system changes and would effectively die if the server was rebooted meaning you’d have to start it again anyway. Systemd is the defacto standard which is how the operating system interacts in terms of services, scheduled tasks etc.

    @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.

    @qwinter this particular site uses the code I wrote if you want to see it in action. It’s a information and intelligence gatherer I designed for collecting various information security articles from around the globe and consolidating them in one place.

    Essentially, each “post” is in fact generated by the script, and the NodeBB API.
