Sudonix and fediverse

Solved Customisation
  • @Panda yes, that appeared after the upgrade to 3.8.4. Not sure where it came from and need to investigate.

  • @Panda said in Sudonix and fediverse:

    would not having the nodebb in a root website url potentially add to problems?

    No. That shouldn’t have any bearing.

  • @phenomlab I’ve seen the same issue on my forum.

  • Am I understanding this correctly. This sounds like it pulls in posts from other sources that have the same technology without having to go to the actual page into the category that you setup for it. There is also the ability to follow people on those sites and get their new posts to automatically show up on your site under the specified category.

    How is this different than rss feeds? If I were to comment on my site with the category setup like this, then that comment would show up on the other site and vise versa? Then in addition I would be able to see all of the comments?

    Yes, this is how federated content is supposed to work. Personally, I do not see the appeal. It means ingesting foreign content into your own site which seems slightly pointless to me as the content already exists elsewhere. Isn’t the point of your own forum to be where the content should originate?

  • @phenomlab said in Sudonix and fediverse:

    Agreed!

  • @phenomlab I agree with you as well. If it is my sight, I want my content/users content for my sight. I would just link out to another site or post if I found it relevent rather than have all of that other site’s content on my own site. Besides, I believe with SEO, having links out like that is supposed to help your score. If I am wrong about that let me know.

  • @Madchatthew you’re 100% right.

  • I had the intuition that Luddite @phenomlab wouldn’t be rushing to adopt Activitypub, thats why I made the post encouraging him to get onboard 🙂
    I think @phenomlab your contributions right now on that area would be very helpful.

    Federation will have huge advantages, especially for starting off forums that would otherwise be quiet, because it can bring in posts from similar sites to increase content.

    The only problem at the moment is it doesn’t work perfectly, not the concept!

    Can’t say I agree with this statement. To me, if I visit a new forum, I’d much rather be viewing original content rather than that which I can easily consume elsewhere. I understand that new forums are often empty with not much content, but the growth needs to be organic rather than ingested from elsewhere to make it look busy.

    Using RSS feeds to pull in content from remote sites is fine as long as you use it for reading reference and create a discussion around the topic you are referring to (as I do with Sudonix), but absolutely pointless if you include the entire article and all associated responses - you may as well just visit the origin site instead.

    Another issue is SEO and the impact duplicated content will have on your own forum when it comes to Google indexing your site. Duplicated content negatively impacts SEO and in addition, that same content may be proprietary meaning you need permission to include it on your site.

    Potentially, it’s a legal minefield which should be treated with trepidation to ensure no copyright infringement takes place.

    @DownPW Technically, it should be possible with the addition of the below

    Toolbar: { display: { left: ["infobar"], middle: [ "zoomIn", "zoomOut", "toggle1to1", "rotateCCW", "rotateCW", "flipX", "flipY", ], right: ["slideshow", "thumbs", "close"], }, },

    Meaning your code block becomes

    function fancybox() { if (top.location.pathname !== '/login') { $(document).ready(function() { $('a').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() { $('a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"], a[href*=".svg"]').addClass("noanimate"); }); }); Fancybox.bind( 'a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"], a[href*=".svg"]', { Toolbar: { display: { left: ["infobar"], middle: [ "zoomIn", "zoomOut", "toggle1to1", "rotateCCW", "rotateCW", "flipX", "flipY", ], right: ["slideshow", "thumbs", "close"], }, }, } ); } }

    Note, that you just need to add/remove the elements in the toolbar you do not need. Obviously, zoomIn and zoomOut are the ones you are specifically interested in. However, if Fancybox detects that the image has already been zoomed as far as possible, then this will not work. You’d need an external library such as zoom.js to add this functionality, or perhaps simpler

    https://www.jacklmoore.com/zoom/

    A good example of how you’d make these two independent libraries work together is below

    It’s worth nothing that this specific code is based on Fancybox 3, so may need to be refactored to work with the latest version 5.

    The great thing about this is it’s all documented for other NodeBB users that come looking for solutions 😃.

    Looks far better 🤝👍🏻.
