@Sampo2910 thanks. I’ll look at this tomorrow.

[Sampo2910]

@phenomlab No problem. Thank you

@Sampo2910 Interesting. I took a look at this in more detail, and it seems you’re right. I can display the topics in each category (after setting the relevant permissions), but you can’t open them unless you register. That’s great.

However, this seems to have a material impact on the recent view in the sense that nothing will show up as it requires the “Access Topic” right. Based on this, the options are somewhat restrictive in terms of which route will work best. Recent topics is almost useless as a view if you can’t see the topics that you have access to - I think that this is likely a better question for the NodeBB devs themselves.

You could create a custom page, copy the recent template, and modify the underlying code to get what you want, but to me, this seems a little overkill for what should be a relatively simple ask.

@phenomlab Hi,

Thanks for taking a look. And yes it is overkill just for that problem. I noticed it on this forum ad liked the idea of it. However you can access topics here. I can just leave it as is and I will have the categories as the ‘home page’ Guests can see them but not enter.

I will now try to look into why the tenor gif icon is missing in the posting section, plus why recent cards are vertical (lavender style) haha. It is always something.

You are a gentlemen Mark and thank you again.

I can take a look at this if you’d like

[Sampo2910]

@phenomlab Happy for you too.

I posted in NodeBB also.

@Sampo2910 having looked at this on your forum, there appears to be an issue with the latest release of nodebb-plugin-recent-cards. I downgraded to 2.0.22 which works fine

@Sampo2910 I’ve also just fixed the tenor-gif missing icon issue. This is in fact not an actual font-awesome icon, but some CSS, which I’ve added to your forum

.fa-tenor-gif::before {
    content: 'GIF';
    font-size: 1rem;
    font-family: sans;
    background: #333;
    color: #fff;
    padding: .25rem .5rem;
    border-radius: .5em;
    position: relative;
    top: -.2rem;
}

Should show correctly now
