  • @DownPW From memory, you should be using a function that looks like this in PROD

    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function (data) {
        function updateUsername() {
            $('.getUsername .username').text(app.user.username);
        }
        if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
            document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', updateUsername);
        } else {
            updateUsername();
        }
        var thehours = new Date().getHours();
    	var themessage;
    	var morning = ('Good morning');
    	var afternoon = ('Good afternoon');
    	var evening = ('Good evening');
        var matched = false;
        $('#getConsent').attr("href", "/user/" + app.user.username + "/consent");
    	if (thehours >= 0 && thehours < 12) {
    		themessage = morning; 
    
    	} else if (thehours >= 12 && thehours < 17) {
    		themessage = afternoon;
    
    	} else if (thehours >= 17 && thehours < 24) {
    		themessage = evening;
    	}
            $('.getUsername').prepend(themessage);
    });
    

    You’ll need the same function in your development environment if you don’t have it already, and will need to add

    $('.topicUsername').text(app.user.username);
    

    Right after line 3, so

    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
        function updateUsername() {
            $('.getUsername .username').text(app.user.username);
            $('.topicUsername').text(app.user.username);
        }
        if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
            document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', updateUsername);
        } else {
            updateUsername();
        }
        var thehours = new Date().getHours();
        var themessage;
        var morning = ('Good morning');
        var afternoon = ('Good afternoon');
        var evening = ('Good evening');
        var matched = false;
        $('#getConsent').attr("href", "/user/" + app.user.username + "/consent");
        if (thehours >= 0 && thehours < 12) {
            themessage = morning;
    
        } else if (thehours >= 12 && thehours < 17) {
            themessage = afternoon;
    
        } else if (thehours >= 17 && thehours < 24) {
            themessage = evening;
        }
        if (window.location.href.indexOf("topic") > -1) {
            //console.log("This is a topic, so hide the user welcome message");
            $('#mainbanner').hide();
        } else {
            $('.getUsername').prepend(themessage);
    
        }
    
    
        //	$('.getUsername').prepend(themessage);
    });
    

    Note that your function might look different as I recall you modifying the code I supplied to meet your own needs.

  • @DownPW Ah yes, I can see a case where that would indeed fire, and I’m able to replicate it here

    Ha yes exactly, seems to be forget this lol. 🤣
    With $('.topicUsername').text(app.user.username); it’s perfect 🙂

    yes perfect, definitively better ^^


    Just play with CSS for me but it’s a very good job Mark !
    I love this functionnality a lot, who play which works together with the nodebb-plugin-question-and-answer plugin

  • @DownPW said in v3 & Harmony diary / thoughts / code snippets:

    Yes, I need to add that to the documentation above, plus the “missing” function (which I will cut down as the average user won’t need all of it)

    Good news

    Great ! It was designed primary to work with nodebb-plugin-question-and-answer and in fact won’t work very well without it, so it’s actually a core dependency.

  • I’m a beta tester @phenomlab 😉

    I see other bugs my friends :

    • 1- A user who has not created the topic sees the message intended for the initiator of the topic :
      image.png

    • 2- Same things with solved Post :
      image.png

    –> If the message is only addressed to the initiator of the topic, it’s a bit problematic, isn’t it?

    No, not really 🙂 It’s designed to work this way so that anyone else visiting looking for the same answer and finds it has the opportunity to reward you - it’s why it mentions no names 🙂

  • Perfect thats Work on 3;X 😉


    I am testing this code in version 2.X but it seems it is not working properly

    Only the resolution message seems to work in 2.X

    Do you think it is possible to adapt it for 2.X ?

    Hmm - I never wrote it to be compatible with v2, but I can’t think of any reason as wo why this would not work. Is there somewhere I can see it ?

  • @phenomlab I pm you

  • @DownPW I see why. The code relies on the existence of

    [component="topic/quickreply/container"]
    

    However, this by definition means that the below has to be enabled

    aeef638f-4188-489d-a9f2-f3a26dbca9d8-image.png

    It will then work

    7fb38631-e0f3-46ef-b652-00929d927b13-image.png

    For some unknown reason, this is hidden in Harmony, and only shows if you select it. In v2, it seems that the <section> is deleted altogether in Persona if “Quick Reply” is disabled, meaning it won’t fire as it can’t locate that specific component.

    The downside is that you might not want the quick reply function, but I think it’s a PITA to scroll up to the top of the post just to reply, so I have it on 🙂

    @phenomlab oh no, that is 1 cent on the video, but you are right, symbols are similar… I just converted it to $1 , since it is more intuitive in daily life…

    @DownPW Yes, it is. It’s set far too low meaning other elements with a higher preference will sit over the top of it.

    @mventures Yes, exactly. The other icon will restart NodeBB whilst the first icon I referenced will rebuild (recompile) it.

    The huge strength of NodeBB over Flarum (for example) is that the code is precompiled, and called once at boot. PHP’s code has to repeatedly reload code from source making it much slower.

    @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.

    @cagatay you’ll need to define this in the body tag (or another element if you want greater or more granular targets) - for example

    body { font-family: "Poppins"; font-size: 16px; }

    Essentially, you use the font-size CSS directive.

    It’s been a while since I checked in here. Plenty going on - mostly around rectifying small pockets of resistance between light and dark modes, plus the addition of new features such as an enhanced reputation system and the ability to create polls. Plus, there are several changes going on under the hood which are completely transparent to users or the operation of the platform.

    However, some changes mean that the platform does need to be restarted for code changes to stick and function correctly. I tend to do this during non busy periods, but sometimes, it’s unfortunately inevitable. The good news is that in most cases, a full restart takes only 20 seconds.

    More to come
