  • odd i see this code in dev console, search better šŸ™‚

    I see too li.pt-4.self-post.highlight.threaded I donā€™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;
      }
    

    ā€“ RESULT :

  • Here I am again Mark @phenomlab šŸ˜‰

    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

    CYA my friend

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

    Good job.

  • I forgot the screen šŸ™‚

    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 authorā€™s posts and those of others are shifted (to the left), only our own posts are not.

    I do not know if itā€™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. Itā€™s a matter of personal taste šŸ™‚ You can fairly easily change the cosmetic behavior to suit your needs - itā€™s not set in stone.

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

  • itā€™s cool too ^^

  • this code does not work for me. No button

    EDIT:

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

  • @DownPW said in Threading support for NodeBB:

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

    Sorry - changed that to the Git link

  • Just donā€™t forget to comment out lines for browsing-users plugin

    Iā€™m got screwed šŸ˜‰

    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 ā€œclonesā€ 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 ā€œBuy me a Coffeeā€ 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 canā€™t (and wonā€™t) make you do this, but itā€™s courteous to recognize the original author - particularly when hundreds of hours were spent creating all of this eye candy šŸ™‚
  • 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 itā€™s normal or if it is better to put it on the right like the others ?

    image.png

    or myself for example :

    33a99e14-13e5-4e67-beaa-25d02b39bb59-image.png

  • @DownPW Mmmm - I thought that this would happen. In your js function, can you locate this line

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul .hidden-xs').append(threadView);
    

    Replace it with

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul.list-unstyled').append(threadView);
    

    51179c3a-e0cf-4f1f-a36b-79beb1655e88-image.png

    The issue here is that the hidden-xs class is being manipulated by js which forces the position and does not use relative. This new code should hopefully work around that. It will change the placement of the threaded toggle, but for the better I think. If this works, Iā€™ll commit the code to git

  • @phenomlab

    I donā€™t use this line, I commented out this line as stipulated in the script

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul .hidden-xs').append(threadView);
    

    But use this line :

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul [component="topic/browsing-users"]:last-of-type').append(threadView);
    

    image.png

    maybe change for this ?

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul.list-unstyled [component="topic/browsing-users"]:last-of-type').append(threadView);

    @crazycells hmm. Thatā€™s odd. I havenā€™t made any changes from recollection but I could be wrong. Iā€™ll need to check.

    EDIT - very strange. I honestly donā€™t recall adding the below CSS block to alter the bottom bar, but youā€™re rightā€¦

    .bottombar-nav { padding: 0px !important; }

    Iā€™ve removed this so it reflects stock Harmony.

    @crazycells yes, Iā€™m aware of that. Need to fix

    EDIT- fixed. Caused by the same CSS that is used to absolutely position the ā€œverifiedā€ group badge in the posts view. Amended this CSS so that is specifically targets the post stream as below

    li[component="post"] a[href*="/groups/verified"] { position: absolute !important; left: 8px; z-index: 2; margin-top: 1px; border-radius: 999px !important; line-height: 14px; display: block; height: 22px; margin-left: 0px !important; }

    @Panda said in Interesting Widget code, but canā€™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

    Itā€™s not a ā€œpostā€ or ā€œtopicā€ in the common sense. It is actually a page in itā€™s own right and leverages nodebb-plugin-custom-pages. This in turn creates a new ā€œrouteā€ which behaves like a page, meaning it is then exposed for widgets.

    @Panda said in Interesting Widget code, but canā€™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 ā€œpublicā€ for example - or in my case /public/js. The widget then ā€œcallsā€ 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?

    Did you configure that as a custom change to the usual quote icon. How do you do that?
    I notice on NodeBB site its a solid blue quotes

    Yes, I changed it. NodeBB by default users the free font awesome library whereas I use the pro (paid) version SDK have access to a wider set of icons, and at different thicknesses etc. The change of colour is just simple CSS.
