NodeBB customisation

[JAC]

As you know I’m looking to set up a NodeBB installation and customise it with the football club colours & new font etc.

Is this something you would be able to assist with?

Many thanks

@jac Yes, of course. Just let me know when you’re ready, and give me some idea of swatch

Ok here goes …

The first thing I want to do is try to change the menu colour to #194F90 is something like this possible?

[phenomlab]

@jac Yes, you’d target that with custom CSS as below

.navbar-default {
    background-color: #194F90;
}

Fantastic, I’ll try this later .

Many thanks .

I’m glad to say this change has worked

Now I need to change the icons and font to white, any idea how this is done?

many thanks as always for the incredible FREE help!

@jac not in front of a pc currently, but will get this to you later. In the meantime, You can always right click the element you’re interested in changing then left click inspect.

Make sure the elements tab is selected at the bottom of the screen and you’ll be able to see the underlying css on the right (depending where you’re developer console is docked in your browser). The css object you want to change to will be colour: #ffffff;

Thanks Mark, I’ll have a crack at this later on once back from work, although if it can be done on mobile I’m happy to try that also.

@jac Just took a look at your site. Here’s what you’ll need

.navbar-default .navbar-brand, .navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a {
    color: #ffffff;
}

That in turn will show

@phenomlab Thanks very much, just applied the code. .

@phenomlab I notice that in mobile view the above change only changes the forum heading to white, but leaves the icons in grey (is there any fix for this?).

Meanwhile on desktop it changes everything to white (as I wanted), but hovering over the icons it turns them to grey, is there any way to change this so they change to #FFC557?

Many thanks as always .

@phenomlab I do have a few changes I have in mind to be made, but am aware of posting them all at once ;).

Yes, it’s probably being overridden with another class that is a closer match. Try this

@media screen (min-width: 767px) { 
 .navbar-default .navbar-brand, .navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a { 
color: #ffffff; }
 }

You can post them all at once, no issues. You might want to create screenshots and identify the areas that you’d like changed. I have your site URL so it won’t be too tough to accomplish

Is there any way to remove the footer code?

I hope it’s ok just firing things into the thread once I find something I may want to change?
