Threaded post support for NodeBB

Let's Build It
  • but the most important thing for now is that we lost the Threading effect

  • @DownPW said in Threading support for NodeBB:

    nope we have top and bottom left border radius. On vanilla harmony, we have not

    No, you don’t - see my screenshot…

  • ah ok you just edited

    Nope. I see this as working correctly in standard and incognito mode.

  • Arf yes sorry. Apologies

    But it’s seem we have lost margin-left

    you have same things ?

  • @DownPW Can you provide the URL for that specific thread?

  • And this margin :

    I have added before a margin between the topic and the timeline icon.

    we’ll come to an understanding 🙂

    But I admit that I don’t really understand.

    Neither do I ! 😕

  • For this we can use in Threading ON :

    .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline .timeline-event:last-child, .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline>[component="post/placeholder"]:last-child, .page-topic .topic .posts.timeline>[component=post]:last-child {
        margin-left: 0.5rem !important;
    }
    

    And this :

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

    RESULT :

  • hi @phenomlab , it is nice that the switch only appears when the screen can be changed however, when the screen size is around 1250 pixels, I guess it does not produce the intended view, maybe you should increase the screen size further to make sure this switch is only available when the screen can accommodate nice thread view?

  • @phenomlab

    It looks like I got something working by adding this code

    li.pt-4.self-post:not(.self-post .topic-owner-post).threaded {
      margin-left: 0rem;
    }
    
    li.pt-4.self-post.threaded {
      margin-left: 0rem;
    }
    
    li.necro-post.text-muted.timeline-event.d-flex.gap-2.pt-4.threaded {    
      background: transparent !important;
      margin-bottom: 10px !important;
    }
    
  • Better for me now @phenomlab .

    I have just seen this bug (see the video below)

    EXPLAIN:

    I have Threading mode ON, Space bettween timeline event and topic is good. I refresh the page with CTRL + F5.

    The last post is displayed highlighted then the div moves to its original place (too bad, it’s long) with the desired margin and then the beetween timeline event and topic space is no longer the same. To find the correct space that we had before refreshing the page, I have to deactivate Thread mode and reactivate it

    • It’s a shame to wait until the last message is highlighted for the margin to take effect.
    • It’s also a shame to deactivate/reactivate the mode to find the correct margin.

    VIDEO FOR BETTER EXPLAIN :

    Other things, I deactivate threadeChat function in function.js because don’t work for now now 😉

  • @DownPW thanks. Let me review

    @crazycells good point. 1200 is a bit too generic I think and perhaps we need to only execute on a more forgiving resolution.

  • @DownPW Having reviewed this, it looks like layout shift is causing this - let me have a look at the most efficient way to counter this.

  • @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 :

    @OT I honestly am not able to replicate this. Can you PM me a link to a post on your forum with the specific issue so I can have a look?

    @Panda said in Nodebb design:

    One negative is not being so good for SEO as more Server side rendered forums, if web crawlers dont run the JS to read the forum.

    From recollection, Google and Bing have the capability to read and process JS, although it’s not in the same manner as a physical person will consume content on a page. It will be seen as plain text, but will be indexed. However, it’s important to note that Yandex and Baidu will not render JS, although seeing as Google has a 90% share of the content available on the web in terms of indexing, this isn’t something you’ll likely lose sleep over.

    @Panda said in Nodebb design:

    The “write api” is preferred for server-to-server interactions.

    This is mostly based around overall security - you won’t typically want a client machine changing database elements or altering data. This is why you have “client-side” which could be DOM manipulation etc, and “server-side” which performs more complex operations as it can communicate directly with the database whereas the client cannot (and if it can, then you have a serious security flaw). Reading from the API is perfectly acceptable on the client-side, but not being able to write.

    A paradigm here would be something like SNMP. This protocol exists as a UDP (UDP is very efficient, as it is “fire and forget” and does not wait for a response like TCP does) based service which reads performance data from a remote source, thus enabling an application to parse that data for use in a monitoring application. In all cases, SNMP access should be “RO” (Read Only) and not RW (Read Write). It is completely feasible to assume complete control over a firewall for example by having RW access to SNMP and then exposing it to the entire internet with a weak passphrase.

    You wouldn’t do it (at least, I hope you wouldn’t) and the same ethic applies to server-side rendering and the execution of commands.

    are they cached for each user separately?

    No. It’s a shared cache

    No. This is handled by nodebb-plugin-ns-embed

    @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.
