Material View Support for Stock NodeBB

Unsolved Let's Build It
  • @DownPW done. Fixed a typo

  • Hello @phenomlab

    I didn’t even notice because I never use this mode. But when I say never it’s so much that I forget that it’s possible to do it.

    When right sidebar is expand, the button is at the bottom of the sidebar like this :
    image.png

    –> For now, I resolve the problem by change var buttonContainer = $('[component="sidebar/right"]'); for var buttonContainer = $('[component="sidebar/drafts"]');

    // ------------------------------------------
    function material() {
        $(document).ready(function () {
                // Create the button for custom thread view mode with custom IDs
                if ($('#materialThreadViewButton').length === 0) {
                    var threadViewButton = $('<div class="material-threads-wrapper"><form class="form"><div class="form-check form-switch form-switch-sm material-threads-wrapper"> \
                        <input class="form-check-input" id="materialThreadViewButton" type="checkbox" data-field="materialThreadView"> \
                        <label class=" d-none d-md-inline fw-semibold" for="materialThreadViewButton"></label> \
                    </div></form></div>');
                    
                // Check if the screen width is 991px or more
                if ($(window).width() >= 991) {
                    // Check if the custom thread view button already exists in the right sidebar
                    var buttonContainer = $('[component="sidebar/drafts"]');
                    // Append the button to the selected container
                    buttonContainer.append(threadViewButton);
                } 
                if ($(window).width() <= 991) {
                    // Check if the custom thread view button already exists in the bottom bar
                    //$buttonContainer = $('.bottombar-nav.p-2.text-dark.bg-light.d-flex.justify-content-between.align-items-center.w-100');
                if ($("#logged-in-menu").length > 0) {
                    var buttonContainer = $('.bottombar-nav ul#logged-in-menu');
                    }
                else {
                    var buttonContainer = $('.bottombar-nav ul#logged-out-menu'); 
                }
                // Prepend the button to the selected container
                buttonContainer.prepend(threadViewButton);
            }
                }
    
    ..............
    

    it’s clearly better :

    but if you have better solution (like add text if sidebar is expand for example) I take it 🙂

  • Seems this solution give me a new bug for tooltip

    image.png

    I have test this with no working :

    if (isChecked) {
           $('[component="sidebar/drafts"]').find('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip('dispose');
       } else {
           $('[component="sidebar/drafts"]').find('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip();
       }
    
  • @DownPW Seems to work fine for me?

  • @DownPW It doesn’t look right - the toggle switch is now located at the top of the menu

  • yep I test things at the moment

    I’m go back for you to see

    EDIT: You can test now @phenomlab

  • @DownPW Try this. Change the function to

    function material() {
        $(document).ready(function () {
                // Create the button for custom thread view mode with custom IDs
                if ($('#materialThreadViewButton').length === 0) {
                    var threadViewButton = $('<div class="material-threads-wrapper"><form class="form"><div class="form-check form-switch form-switch-sm material-threads-wrapper"> \
                        <input class="form-check-input" id="materialThreadViewButton" type="checkbox" data-field="materialThreadView"> \
                        <label class=" d-none d-md-inline fw-semibold" for="materialThreadViewButton"></label> \
                    </div></form></div>');
                    
                // Check if the screen width is 991px or more
                if ($(window).width() >= 991) {
                    // Check if the custom thread view button already exists in the right sidebar
                    //var buttonContainer = $('[component="sidebar/right"]ul#logged-in-menu');
                if ($("#logged-in-menu").length > 0) {
                    var buttonContainer = $('ul#logged-in-menu');
                    }
                else {
                    var buttonContainer = $('ul#logged-out-menu');
                }
                    // Append the button to the selected container
                    buttonContainer.append(threadViewButton);
            } 
                if ($(window).width() <= 991) {
                    // Check if the custom thread view button already exists in the bottom bar
                    //$buttonContainer = $('.bottombar-nav.p-2.text-dark.bg-light.d-flex.justify-content-between.align-items-center.w-100');
                if ($("#logged-in-menu").length > 0) {
                    var buttonContainer = $('.bottombar-nav ul#logged-in-menu');
                    }
                else {

                }
                // Prepend the button to the selected container

                    }
                    
                    // Store the checkbox state in localStorage
                    localStorage.setItem('materialThreadViewState', isChecked);
                    
                    // Update the tooltip title
                    $(this).attr('data-original-title', theTooltip).tooltip('dispose').tooltip({
                        placement: 'bottom',
                        title: theTooltip,
                        trigger: 'hover'
                    });
                });
    
                // Check for changes in the checkbox state when the page loads
                $('#materialThreadViewButton').trigger('change');
            
        });
    }
    

    And modify this CSS to the below

    @media (min-width: 991px) {
    #materialThreadViewButton {
        border-radius: 7px;
        cursor: pointer;
        position: relative !important;
        z-index: 999;
        display: flex;
        left: 15px !important;
        top: 5px !important;
        transform: rotate(90deg) !important;
        }
    }
    

    Essentially, we have to change the positioning of the block to use the logged-in and logged-out ID’s

                // Check if the screen width is 991px or more
                if ($(window).width() >= 991) {
                    // Check if the custom thread view button already exists in the right sidebar
                    //var buttonContainer = $('[component="sidebar/right"]ul#logged-in-menu');
                if ($("#logged-in-menu").length > 0) {
                    var buttonContainer = $('ul#logged-in-menu');
                    }
                else {
                    var buttonContainer = $('ul#logged-out-menu');
                }
                    // Append the button to the selected container
                    buttonContainer.append(threadViewButton);
            } 
    
  • I tested the same thing but added a container like [component="sidebar/right"] or [component="sidebar/drafts"] or the sidebar right CSS class. it worked but it created other bugs

    I’m not sure I would have thought to do this without specifying a container and just use ul#logged-out-menu & ul#logged-in-menu ALONE, no component or CSS class 🙂

    Thanks @phenomlab

  • @DownPW The real issue here is that you should always bind (either append or prepend) to an ID rather than a class. You can guarantee in most cases that the ID is unique, whereas the class probably isn’t, and that’s what is causing your issue.

  • Oh yes, that’s what’s super cool, I learn something every day. Afterwards I start from so low in JS
