[NODEBB] Help for my custom CSS

Solved Customisation
  • @DownPW Try this

    .embed-container iframe {
        width: 600px;
        height: 300px;
    }
    

    Obviously, adjust width and height as required

  • Hmm I have this problem with hover background color on close button on modal chat on my dev instance.
    The background color is black :

    f1c61a50-3b64-4470-89fc-182c8027a530-image.png

    And it seems my code doesn’t work :

    8d427049-7987-4a2c-a0d9-4c26b475cafb-image.png

    I confess that I do not fully understand why I have black and that my code is not interpreted correctly.

    Thanks in advance for your help my friends 😉

  • @DownPW It’s caused by this css

    .btn-close {
        filter: var(--bs-node-btn-close-color) !important;
    }
    

    If you remove that filter, the issue will be resolved.

  • Thanks. It’s an error.
    Why I have used filter lol

  • @phenomlab

    So actually after research I was using as this was used in old core code.

    By removing the “Filter” directive it works for the black background on the hover of the close button: cool !!

    But for the color of the cross icon itself (In fact it is not an icon but an image) it is black for light themes, no problem but it remains black for dark themes so it becomes invisible !!!

    So here is my solution :

    .btn-close {
      background: var(--bs-node-btn-close-bg) !important;
    }
    
    • for light theme:
    --bs-node-btn-close-bg: transparent url("data:image/svg+xml,%3csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 16 16' fill='%23000'%3e%3cpath d='M.293.293a1 1 0 0 1 1.414 0L8 6.586 14.293.293a1 1 0 1 1 1.414 1.414L9.414 8l6.293 6.293a1 1 0 0 1-1.414 1.414L8 9.414l-6.293 6.293a1 1 0 0 1-1.414-1.414L6.586 8 .293 1.707a1 1 0 0 1 0-1.414z'/%3e%3c/svg%3e") center/1em auto no-repeat;
    
    • for dark themes :
    --bs-node-btn-close-bg: transparent url("data:image/svg+xml,%3csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 16 16' fill='%23fff'%3e%3cpath d='M.293.293a1 1 0 0 1 1.414 0L8 6.586 14.293.293a1 1 0 1 1 1.414 1.414L9.414 8l6.293 6.293a1 1 0 0 1-1.414 1.414L8 9.414l-6.293 6.293a1 1 0 0 1-1.414-1.414L6.586 8 .293 1.707a1 1 0 0 1 0-1.414z'/%3e%3c/svg%3e") center/1em auto no-repeat;
    

    I see you have the same problem here on sudonix, test that 😉

  • @DownPW thanks. I’ll check this.

  • no problem. Always @phenomlab

    I want to test your author badge (fa) :

    image.png

    Can you provide CSS for this please ?

    Thank you

    edit:

    tetsing this but i don’t think i’m on the good road

    .topic-owner-post [itemprop=author]:before{
        font-family: "Font Awesome 6 pro";
        font-style: normal;
        content: "\e1e4";
        left: 100px !important;
        text-align: left !important;
        position: absolute;
    }
    
  • @DownPW heh, that also needs some js to make that work.

    Edit - add this js block

    function addAuthorBadge() {
      $(".topic-owner-post").each(function() {
        var $authorElement = $(this).find(".text-nowrap:first");
        
        // Check if the author badge already exists
        if (!$authorElement.find(".author").length) {
          // Prepend the author element
          $authorElement.append("<span class='author' data-toggle='tooltip' data-placement='left' title='Topic Author'><span class='author-icon'><i class='fa-regular fa-message-quote'></i></span>");
          // Add tooltip on hover
          $authorElement.find(".author").tooltip({
            content: "Topic Author",
            track: true // This enables the tooltip to track the mouse movement
          });
        }
      });
    }
    
    
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $(window).on('action:posts.loaded', function(data) {
          addAuthorBadge();
        });
    });
    
    
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
          addAuthorBadge();
        });
    });

    @Panda said in Interesting Widget code, but can’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

    It’s not a “post” or “topic” in the common sense. It is actually a page in it’s own right and leverages nodebb-plugin-custom-pages. This in turn creates a new “route” which behaves like a page, meaning it is then exposed for widgets.

    @Panda said in Interesting Widget code, but can’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 “public” for example - or in my case /public/js. The widget then “calls” 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?

    @crazycells pleasure. Using percentages makes much more sense in this case. It’s the same argument with px vs pt vs em with fonts, margins, padding, etc., in the sense that em is generally preferred over px and pt

    The real issue here is that most people consider forums to be “dead” in the sense that nobody uses them anymore, and social media groups have taken their place. Their once dominant stance in the 90’s and early 00’s will never be experienced again, but having said that, there are a number of forums that did in fact survive the social media onslaught, and still enjoy a large user base.

    Forums tend to be niche. One that immediately sticks out is Reddit - despite looking like it was designed in the 80s, it still has an enormous user base. Another is Stack Overflow, which needs no introduction. The key to any forum is the content it offers, and the more people whom contribute in terms of posting , the more popular and widely respected it becomes as a reliable source of information.

    Forums are still intensely popular with gamers, alongside those that offer tips on hacking etc.

    @DownPW as discussed in PM

    Seems to have been solved with the new JS code that you added allowing the version CSS file change!!

    Cache problem therefore with the JS of the Switcher theme

    Based on this, I will close this thread and reference

    @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 ?

    @mike-jones Yes, you’ll typically see this type of behaviour if there is another style that has higher priority in the sense that yours will be overridden. Using !important will override the higher preference, but should be used sparingly rather than everywhere.
