  • Unfortunately I still have a few design problems where I need your help again 🙂

    li.row.clearfix.category-1, li.row.clearfix.category-2, li.row.clearfix.category-3, li.row.clearfix.category-4, li.row.clearfix.category-5, li.row.clearfix.category-6, li.row.clearfix.category-7, li.row.clearfix.category-8, li.row.clearfix.category-9, li.row.clearfix.category-10 {
        border: 1px solid;
        border-radius: 4px;
        margin-left: 10px;
        background: #ffffff;
        border-left: 5px solid #0088cc;
        margin-top: 10px;
    }
    

    You gave me the box design

    it would be possible to make the sub-categories like here in the photo

    @riekmedia Without modifying the template itself (which you could do with nodebb-plugin-customize), this is not going to be easy. The nearest I can get with pure CSS is the below

    b111dea3-6324-4059-b3b0-5a86ef8225aa-image.png

    Even then, the amount of CSS required to get this look is excessive

    .categories>li .content, .category>ul>li .content {
        padding: 10px 15px;
        border-right: 1px solid #0088cc;
    }
    .categories .description, .category .description, .subcategory .description {
        margin-bottom: 10px;
        margin-left: -15px !important;
    }
    .categories .category-children, .category .category-children, .subcategory .category-children {
        display: inline;
    }
    .categories>li .content, .category>ul>li .content {
        margin-bottom: -10px;
    }
    .description {
        margin-right: -16px;
    }
    .categories .category-children, .categories .description, .category .category-children, .category .description, .subcategory .category-children, .subcategory .description {
        line-height: 1.8;
    }

    @phenomlab okay, the plugin is not working. is installed and no Menü point

    You helped me with the footer, unfortunately it doesn’t work as it should. As soon as I put a widget in the sidbar, it shreds the footer 😛

    This sounds like the HTML is incorrect (in the sense that a DIV tag is missing or not properly closed). Can you confirm that the login you provided for your forum (for me) is still active ? I’ll need to login and take a look.

  • Hey @phenomlab , yes the login is still active. You can also register if you want and I’ll join the admin group. Regarding the design, I rebuilt the template as an html file over the weekend and then re-cleaned it. So that there are no Div errors. However, the forum generally has a problem with a div with the container. it says class=“row container”. Actually, this is without the row.

    usually it’s just class=“container” without row

    I can also send you the html template if you want to have a look at it before

    Thanks. Can you send the template ? Either here or via PM is fine.

    @riekmedia I’ve applied some new CSS to your site. Can you reload the page and try again ?

    For the record, this is what I added

    #footer {
        background: #2d343e;
        border-top: 4px solid #2d343e;
        font-size: 0.9em;
        margin-top: 70px;
        padding: 80px 0 0;
        position: relative;
        clear: both;
        bottom: 0;
        left: 0;
        right: 0;
        z-index: 1000;
        margin-left: -15px;
        margin-right: -338px;
    }
    

    The /categories page seems a bit messed up, so looking at that currently

    EDIT - issued some override CSS in the CATEGORIES widget

    <!--- CSS fix for overspill on /categories page - DO NOT DELETE -->
    <style>
    #footer {
        margin-right: -45px;
    }
    </style>
    

    That should resolve the /categories issue.

    @Panda Just circling back here with something of an update (which I think you’ll like). I’ve completely restructured the ranking system. There are now less ranks, with a higher point threshold to reach them. More importantly, if you reload the site, you’ll notice that the ranks are now icons. I also removed the “Author” badge, and made this a single icon, which (to me) looks much better.

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored. More info around the background property can be found here https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background.php

    mark hi, Refused to apply style from ‘https://efelsefe.com/assets/customfonts/FontAwesome-6-Pro/pro/css/v4-font-face.css’ because its MIME type (‘text/plain’) is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled. I keep getting this error.

    @phenomlab said in How to set a signature in NodeBB?: @jac No issues at all with copying. This is set using the signature for the user you are posting as. In the case of Hostrisk, it’s set like the below [image: 1633427929198-7bf04183-f6e8-4d72-b0eb-c9a05c9cd24b-image.png] You can set the signature by using https://domain.com/user/theuser/edit Mamy thanks Mark, I’ll set this up later .
