  • Other two things šŸ™‚

    ONE

    I would like to move chat bubbles and WYSIWYG at the left bottom if it’s possible, I test with this bit it’s not perfect :

    .taskbar .navbar-nav {
    padding-right: 1840px;
    padding-bottom: 15px;
    position: relative;
    bottom: 25px !important;
    }
    Thanks for your help in advance Mark šŸ™‚

    TWO

    I have this problem :
    alt text

    The chat windows stays in the background even when I click on it.

    I have zindex on composer and footbar

    Can you elaborate a bit more on this in terms of what you are looking to do ?

    @DownPW Try this

    .taskbar.navbar-fixed-bottom {
        right: auto;
        left: 0;
    }
    

    Much cleaner than what I had found:

    .taskbar .navbar-nav {
        padding-right: 1840px;
        padding-bottom: 15px;
        position: relative;
        bottom: 25px !important;
    }
    

    I had not found this property by inspecting the code!! I wonder where you found that one šŸ™‚

    I just added left and bottom space :

    .taskbar.navbar-fixed-bottom {
        right: auto;
        left: 10px;
        bottom: 25px;
    }
    

    RESULT:
    111bb445-d4ca-401e-a620-692b23e37f62-image.png

    Much better with footbar !
    This also allows you to leave the right side quiet already occupied by the paging block !

    Thanks my friend šŸ˜‰

    @DownPW that won’t work unless you add a font family to go with it - any Unicode characters typically require an associated font family. Try adding

    font-family: "font awesome 5 free"; to the CSS you already have.

  • @phenomlab

    I have test this :

    [component="topic/header"] span.timeago:before {
        content: "\f1c0";
        font-family: "font awesome 5 free";
        margin-right: 5px;
        margin-left: 5px;
        color: black;
    }
    

    But doesn’t work

    @DownPW does it work if you change it to
    Font Awesome 5 Free ? Might need to access your site directly to test this as it works for mine and should also work for you.

    One last thing you can try is adding the below into the CSS class - sometimes needed as the FA5 free icons are solid only, therefore may require

    font-weight: 900;

    Let me know how you get on

  • @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 šŸ™‚

    // ------------------------------------------
    // 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;
    }

  • hi @phenomlab

    I use .category-item:first-of-type css properties for add a border-top on my principal pages like recent, unread etc…

    But this properties add a border too on topic header categories name.

    It’s possible to disable it just on topic (topic.header) ?

    @DownPW possibly with :not in the css class

    https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_not.asp

  • @phenomlab

    I think I understand but I don’t find the good CSS class

    here the code for recent page for example :

    .category-item:first-of-type {
    	border-top: 1px solid #0a769978 !important;
        border-top-left-radius: 4px !important;
        border-top-right-radius: 4px !important;
    }
    

    and I will test this for disable border-top on topic page but don’t work:

    .category-item:first-of-type:not(.category-item .inline-block){
    	border-top: 0px solid #0a769978 !important;
    }

    @DownPW A couple of things here. You are using the !important argument twice - one will override the other, meaning they can’t both be set like that - typically, the last marked so will be preferred. Would this not work better ?

    .category-item.inline-block {
        border-top: none !important;
    }
    
    .category-item:first-of-type {
        border-top: 1px solid #0a769978;
        border-top-left-radius: 4px;
        border-top-right-radius: 4px;
    }

    @crazycells Good points, thanks. I completely forgot that classes are added - makes life much simpler! EDIT - seems this is pretty straightforward, and only needs the below CSS .upvoted i { color: var(--bs-user-level) !important; } This then yields [image: 1718028529465-3f072f8a-ebfa-4910-8723-73c493b8e4eb-image.png] However, the caveat here is that the .upvoted class will only show for your upvotes, and nobody else’s. However, this does satisfy the original request however I would love to see my upvoted posts more clearly, because currently, when I upvote, nothing on the post tool is changing, it would be nicer if there is an indication that I have upvoted (like a filled or colored triangle?)

    @DownPW it’s possible, yes, but you may inadvertently end up targeting other elements using the same class which of course isn’t desired. Can you provide a link in DM for me to review?

    @Sala ok, but that’s still the same loop which is going to have an impact on the CPU.

    @DownPW Looking at the underlying code, class start is being added on hover by jQuery in this function document.querySelectorAll(".button-gradient, .button-transparent").forEach((button) => { const style = getComputedStyle(button); const lines = document.createElement("div"); lines.classList.add("lines"); const groupTop = document.createElement("div"); const groupBottom = document.createElement("div"); const svg = createSVG( button.offsetWidth, button.offsetHeight, parseInt(style.borderRadius, 10) ); groupTop.appendChild(svg); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); lines.appendChild(groupTop); lines.appendChild(groupBottom); button.appendChild(lines); button.addEventListener("pointerenter", () => { button.classList.add("start"); }); svg.addEventListener("animationend", () => { button.classList.remove("start"); }); }); }) The CSS for start is below .button-gradient.start .lines svg, .button-transparent.start .lines svg { animation: stroke 0.3s linear; } And this is the corresponding keyframe @keyframes stroke { 30%, 55% { opacity: 1; } 100% { stroke-dashoffset: 5; opacity: 0; } } It’s using both CSS and SVG, so might not be a simple affair to replicate without the SVG files.

    @riekmedia I’ve applied some new CSS to your site. Can you reload the page and try again ? For the record, this is what I added #footer { background: #2d343e; border-top: 4px solid #2d343e; font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 70px; padding: 80px 0 0; position: relative; clear: both; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 1000; margin-left: -15px; margin-right: -338px; } The /categories page seems a bit messed up, so looking at that currently EDIT - issued some override CSS in the CATEGORIES widget <!--- CSS fix for overspill on /categories page - DO NOT DELETE --> <style> #footer { margin-right: -45px; } </style> That should resolve the /categories issue.
