  • I have a nodebb forum but theres no place to put subheading info, briefly describing what forum is about.
    You have this on your page saying “Technology Consultancy and Advisory”
    I understand you did this with custom code?
    Please can you share how I can add this similarly
    Thanks

  • @eveh Welcome board 🙂

    The code you are referring to is custom written as no such functionality exists under NodeBB. However, adding the functionality is relatively trivial. Below are the required steps

    • Navigate to /admin/appearance/customise#custom-header
    • Add the below code to your header, and save once completed
    <ol id="mainbanner" class="breadcrumb"><li id="addtext">Your Title Goes Here</li></ol>
    
    • Navigate to /admin/appearance/customise#custom-js and add the below code, then save
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            // Initialise mainbanner ID, but hide it from view 
            $('#mainbanner').hide();
            var pathname = window.location.pathname;
            if (pathname === "/") {
                $("#addtext").text("Your Title");
                $('#mainbanner').show();
            } else {}
            // If we want to add a title to a sub page, uncomment the below and adjust accordingly
            //if (pathname === "/yourpath") {
            //$("#addtext").text("Your Title");
            //$('#mainbanner').show();
            //}
        });
    });
    
    • Navigate to /admin/appearance/customise#custom-css and add the below CSS block
    .breadcrumb {
        right: 0;
        margin-right: auto;
        text-align: center;
        background: #0086c4;
        color: #ffffff;
        width: 100vw;
        position: relative;
        margin-left: -50vw;
        left: 50%;
        top: 50px;
        position: fixed;
        z-index: 1020;
    }
    

    Note, that you will need to adjust your CSS code to suit your own site / requirements.

    @Panda said in Spam spam spam: ok, yes Ive seen the queue, it shows IP, but doesnt have a field for comments from registrant. It’s not designed for that. It merely serves as a gateway between posts appearing on your form or not. @Panda said in Spam spam spam: It would be better if nodebb had this plugin included in ACP list, as not only then do you know its approved and should work, but many people cant or dont want to use CLI on the server That’s a question for the NodeBB devs but in all honesty you can’t not use the CLI when installing nodebb so to be this isn’t a big deal.

    @crazycells Agreed. It takes a more sensible approach. Nobody ever upvotes the first post - it’s usually much further down as the conversation progresses.

    @Panda It’s been raised multiple times, but only for the open source version, and not hosted.

    @Panda It’s the best it’s ever been to be honest. I’ve used a myriad of systems in the past - most notably, WordPress, and then Flarum (which for SEO, was absolutely dire - they never even had SEO out of the box, and relied on a third party extension to do it), and NodeBB easily fares the best - see below example https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asudonix.org&oq=site%3Asudonix.org&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j69i58j69i60l2.9039j0j3&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#ip=1 However, this was not without significant effort on my part once I’d migrated from COM to ORG - see below posts https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17286/google-crawl-error-after-site-migration/17?_=1688461250365 And also https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/221027803?hl=en&msgid=221464164 It was painful to say the least - as it turns out, there was an issue in NodeBB core that prevented spiders from getting to content, which as far as I understand, is now fixed. SEO in itself is a dark art - a black box that nobody really fully understands, and it’s essentially going to boil down to one thing - “content”. Google’s algorithm for indexing has also changed dramatically over the years. They only now crawl content that has value, so if it believes that your site has nothing to offer, it will simply skip it.

    @Panda Just circling back here with something of an update (which I think you’ll like). I’ve completely restructured the ranking system. There are now less ranks, with a higher point threshold to reach them. More importantly, if you reload the site, you’ll notice that the ranks are now icons. I also removed the “Author” badge, and made this a single icon, which (to me) looks much better.

    @RiekMedia hi. Just following up on this thread (I know it’s old) but was curious to understand if it’s still an issue or not ?
