[NODEBB] Help for my custom CSS

Solved Customisation
  • @DownPW After spending a lot of time on the theme switcher (see referenced post above), I re-wrote some of it as found that there were caching issues with CSS as it always calls the same version number. The new function below resolves that issue.

    I also removed the website prefix, as with relative paths, this is not required 🙂

    // ------------------------------------------
    // Theme Switcher
    // ------------------------------------------
    // On choisit une chaine de caractère aléatoire pour affecter un numéro de version au fichier CSS. 
    // The function below creates a random string which we use for CSS versioning to prevent cache conflicts
    function generateRandomString(length) {
        var text="";
        var possible="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
        for (var i=0;
        i < length;
        i++) {
            text+=possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));
        }
        return text;
    }
    
    $(document).ready(function () {
        var string=generateRandomString(10);
        $("#random_string").text(string);
        // This variable gets the theme ID 
        // Cette variable obtient l'ID du thème
        var whichTheme=localStorage.getItem("theme");
        // This variable gets the active theme's actual URL
        //Cette variable obtient l'URL réelle du thème actif
        var activeTheme=localStorage.getItem("activeTheme");
        // This variable appends the dropdown list to the existing panel
        // Cette variable ajoute la liste déroulante au panneau existant
        var panel=$('<li id="switcher" class="dropdown text-center"> \

  • – The modification for resolve cache problem/CSS number version is very great 🙂

    – I have just change the CSS class for change icon on JS Script here :

    var panel = $('<li id="switcher" class="dropdown text-center"> \
    <label for="theme-control-list-check" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" id="theme_dropdown" title="" role="button" data-original-title="Theme" aria-expanded="false"> \
    <a class="btn-link" title="Theme Switcher" href="#"><i id="ticon" class="fa fa-fw fa-toogle-o"></i><span class="visible-xs-inline">Theme Switcher</span></a> \
    

    – I have light and dark theme, so I prefer a universal button like toogle ON/OFF

    • Toogle Off icon on Default Theme :
      8a6ade87-98be-4b9a-b3a7-c44fccc5cf8b-image.png

    • Toogle On icon on each other theme :
      c8bece49-8863-4fc2-9e10-fcf2c19c8bf1-image.png

    – ACP/CSS :

    /*Switch toogle Off (Off:204 - On:205*/
    .fa.fa-toogle-o:before {
        content: "\f204";
        font-size: 16px;
    }
    

    – Each theme CSS :

    /*Switch toogle Off (Off:204 - On:205*/
    .fa.fa-toogle-o:before {
        content: "\f205";
        font-size: 16px;
    }
    

    I have trad comment line too !!

    I put the topic on solved status but it’s not excluded that I return here to ask questions about CSS that I will have trouble finding for future themes if it does not bother ! 😉

  • DownPWundefined DownPW has marked this topic as solved on
  • @downpw some really nice enhancements there !

  • I forgot this.

    – On position text and icon of theme switcher, I have added padding-top to ventilate the surrounding area and align all icon :

    /*Smartphone*/
    @media all and (max-width: 1024px)
    {
    /*VIOLENCE: BUGFIX: Placement du "Theme Switcher" */
        #switcher {
        list-style: none;
        margin-left: -80px;
        padding-top: 15px;
    }
    }
    

    – And I also improved the space between the icon and the text :

    @media all and (max-width: 1024px)
    {
    #switcher .fa-fw {
        text-align: center;
        width: 1.25em;
        padding-right: 25px;
    }
    }
    

    – Result:

  • @downpw another great addition 👏

  • @phenomlab

    An idea for CSS code for that button (Abandon) after click ?

    a604f223-d10a-4579-9b85-354bd0052873-image.png

  • @downpw Can you expand on that ?

  • color, background color and after a click on the abandon button

  • @downpw Ok. Do you have a mock-up in terms of what you’d be looking for ? I think I understand, but it will require jQuery

  • @phenomlab

    I don’t think so JQuery are necessary becausei hav not that on other themes. Maybe a focus button ?

    I want to fix this color background after a click on “Discard” Button when I reply to a topic.

    For example you don’t have this on sudonix.com

    Just to find the correct CSS code i guess

    55cc3266-1705-48b4-8b1f-9df5de43cbb7-image.png

    I have the same problem on login button

  • @downpw Something like this ?

    e8463996-0719-4361-9ea9-cc4df9ac4da0-image.png

    button.btn.btn-default.composer-discard:focus {
        background: red;
    }
    
  • Very odd @phenomlab

    alt text

  • @downpw Expected, because the CSS class is :focus so on mouseout event, the focus is lost and the CSS will no longer apply. This is why you (probably) need jQuery

  • Nope, I don’t think so because I haven’t got the problem on an another themes and here too

  • @downpw Can you provide the same example with another theme ?

  • @downpw So (for example) do you want the Discard button to turn red if you you click Confirm, or am I off track here ? Not entirely sure what you’re after 🙂

  • @phenomlab Never mind already found the right CSS property would be nice 🙂

  • @downpw Do you mean this one

    button.btn.btn-default.composer-discard:focus {
        background: red;
    }
    

    Or another ?

  • @phenomlab Another I think

    @pobojmoks Do you see any errors being reported in the console ? At first guess (without seeing the actual code or the site itself), I’d say that this is AJAX callback related

    @phenomlab

    Very very great Mark 😉
    Thanks again, It’s perfect now !

    –> I share my code that I modified.

    I’ve added French and English comments.
    If you see things to change Mark, don’t hesitate.

    As usual, all the access paths (FA icons, logo) will have to be modified according to your architecture.

    You can also very well add/remove time slots and change welcome messages to suit your needs.

    Widgets ACP/HTML Widget Footer Logo <center> <br><br> <img id="thislogo" src="path/to/my/image"> </center> Widget Welcome Message <!-- IF loggedIn --> <div class="getUsername">, <a href="/me"><span class="username"></span></a></div> <!-- ENDIF loggedIn --> CSS

    – I added the size font-weight: 900; in the CSS because otherwise some FA icon wasn’t displayed correctly and reduce margin :

    i#thisicon { font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free"; font-style: normal; margin-right: 8px; font-weight: 900; } .getUsername { padding-top: 20px; text-align: right; } /*Smartphone*/ /*On désactive le message de bienvenue"*/ /*We disable the welcome message"*/ @media all and (max-width: 1024px) { .getUsername { display: none; } } JAVASCRIPT // ------------------------------------------ // Welcome Message avec icône et Footer logo // Welcome Message with icon and Footer logo // ------------------------------------------ $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function (data) { //On récupère le username dans le DOM et on l'affiche //We retrieve the username from the DOM and display it function updateUsername() { $('.getUsername .username').text(app.user.username); } if (document.readyState === 'loading') { document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', updateUsername); } else { updateUsername(); } //On déclare les variables principales (themessage & thehours) ainsi que les variables secondaires correspondants aux plages horaires //We declare the main variables (themessage & thehours) as well as the secondary variables corresponding to the time slots var thehours = new Date().getHours(); var themessage; var wakeup = ('Good day'); var morning = ('Good morning'); var lunch = ('Bon appétit'); var afternoon = ('Good afternoon'); var drink = ('Cheers'); var evening = ('Good evening'); var night = ('Good night'); var welcome = ('Welcome'); var matched = false; //On peux ici tester le résultat du code en spécifiant une heure (!!!IMPORTANT: Commenter une fois le script testé!!!) //Here we can test the result of the code by specifying a time (!!!IMPORTANT: Comment once the script has been tested!!!) //thehours = 20 //On déclare les plages horaires avec les icones FA et les logos //We declare the time slots with FA icons and logos path if (thehours >= 0 && thehours < 6) { themessage = night; theicon = "fa-solid fa-moon"; thelogo = "/assets/customlogo/XXX.png"; } else if (thehours >= 6 && thehours < 8) { themessage = wakeup; theicon = "fa-solid fa-mug-hot"; thelogo = "/assets/customlogo/XXX.png"; } else if (thehours >= 8 && thehours < 12) { themessage = morning; theicon = "fa-solid fa-sun"; thelogo = "/assets/customlogo/XXX.png"; } else if (thehours >= 12 && thehours < 13) { themessage = lunch; theicon = "fas fa-hamburger"; thelogo = "/assets/customlogo/XXX.png"; } else if (thehours >= 13 && thehours < 16) { themessage = afternoon; theicon = "fa-solid fa-sun"; thelogo = "/assets/customlogo/XXX.png"; } else if (thehours >= 16 && thehours < 18) { themessage = welcome; theicon = "fa-solid fa-rocket"; thelogo = "/assets/customlogo/XXX.png"; } else if (thehours >= 18 && thehours < 19) { themessage = drink; theicon = "fa-solid fa-wine-glass"; thelogo = "/assets/customlogo/XXX.png"; } else if (thehours >= 19 && thehours < 20) { themessage = lunch; theicon = "fas fa-pizza-slice"; thelogo = "/assets/customlogo/XXX.png"; } else if (thehours >= 20 && thehours < 24) { themessage = evening; theicon = "fa-solid fa-tv"; thelogo = "/assets/customlogo/XXX.png"; } // Si la page active est un topic, on désactive/cache le message de bienvenue // If the active page is a topic, we deactivate/hide the welcome message if (window.location.href.indexOf("topic") > -1) { console.log("This is a topic, so hide the user welcome message"); $('#thisuser').hide(); } // Sinon, on affiche le message en fonction, l'icone FA et son emplacement (prepend) // Otherwise, we display the message in function, the FA icon and its location (prepend) else { $('.getUsername').prepend("<i id='thisicon' class='" + theicon + "'></i>" + themessage); $("#thislogo").attr("src", thelogo); //$('.getUsername').prepend("<img id='thisicon' src='" + thelogo + "'></>" + themessage); } });

    @RiekMedia hi. Just following up on this thread (I know it’s old) but was curious to understand if it’s still an issue or not ?
