    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;
    }

    .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

    @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 🙂

    @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)

    Good work my friend

    @DownPW This part?

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul .hidden-xs').append(threadView);
    // If you have browsing users plugin, comment out the above line and uncomment the one below
    //$('.topic .sticky-tools ul [component="topic/browsing-users"]:last-of-type').append(threadView);
    

    Yes, I need to fix that! Thanks for the reminder.

  • For anyone else browsing here who has tried the code in git but wants it to look exactly like Sudonix, please note that this code is not public because it is heavily adapted to match the layout of this site. There are some Sudonix “clones” around so you can actually have this code if you really want it, but it comes with some conditions;

    1. You should consider buying me a coffee - see “Buy me a Coffee” link
    2. You have to provide a backlink to this site from your own - it needs to be visible and cannot be hidden - obviously, I can’t (and won’t) make you do this, but it’s courteous to recognize the original author - particularly when hundreds of hours were spent creating all of this eye candy 🙂
  • Hello @phenomlab

    I see this, when someone composes, it is displayed via the plugin like this (To the left of the Thread View button.). I do not know if it’s normal or if it is better to put it on the right like the others ?

    or myself for example :

    @phenomlab said: @DownPW thanks for spotting (and fixing) this issue. I admittedly threw this together quickly for @jac some time ago, and it hasn’t had any love since. If OK with you, I’ll merge these changes into the github repository? No problem dude

    @DownPW I see why. The code relies on the existence of [component="topic/quickreply/container"] However, this by definition means that the below has to be enabled [image: 1679077966615-aeef638f-4188-489d-a9f2-f3a26dbca9d8-image.png] It will then work [image: 1679077992245-7fb38631-e0f3-46ef-b652-00929d927b13-image.png] For some unknown reason, this is hidden in Harmony, and only shows if you select it. In v2, it seems that the <section> is deleted altogether in Persona if “Quick Reply” is disabled, meaning it won’t fire as it can’t locate that specific component. The downside is that you might not want the quick reply function, but I think it’s a PITA to scroll up to the top of the post just to reply, so I have it on

    @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.

    @Teemberland great spot ! You should create a PR for that so they can include it in the official repository. Just be aware that any subsequent releases will overwrite your fix without the PR.

    @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.
