    Thank you very much for the code.

    In my case, I would like to display the group labels after the user level label because as it is it’s not very nice

    Same for Author Badge

    @DownPW and @crazycells could you let me have URL’s where I can see examples of what you’ve posted?

    .topic-owner-post [itemprop="author"] {

    yep but I have not the same result as you with this code :

    24bc3b0a-29a3-45f7-8e6b-bc72f6248bda-image.png

    The username is after the userlevel badge 😒

    @DownPW Thanks. Seems I forgot this

    [itemprop="author"] {
        float: left;
    }
    

    And this which will fix the overlap on the reply label

    .topic [component="post/parent"] {
        margin-left: 15px;
    }

    @phenomlab Ha yes very good thanks dude 😉 You’re the best always 😉

  • Screen Shot 2022-11-17 at 13.28.34.png

    actually, it looks very good (quite acceptable for our case 🙂 ), thanks for the CSS codes; however CSS codes affect other group badges too…

    group name: verified

    how can I restrict CSS codes to this group? I checked the inspector, I can only see group links, but not specific names…

    @crazycells Let’s try this

    In /forum/admin/manage/groups/verified, remove the highlighted section

    1c9e1406-d641-4e6c-8a03-e452c9462768-image.png

    We are then left with no text, but a clearer looking icon

    149c24c4-c95c-4a6e-8dc4-52340e4d0bed-image.png

    Now remove the previous CSS blocks I provided here

    Add replacement CSS

    .post-header a[href*="/forum/groups/verified"] {
        margin-right: 3px;
        margin-top: 1px;
        border-radius: 50%;
        line-height: 20px;
        display: inline-block;
        vertical-align: middle;
        text-align: center;
        overflow: hidden;
    }
    small.label.group-label.inline-block i {
        margin-top: 1px;
        margin-left: 0px;
        vertical-align: middle;
        justify-content: center;
        display: flex;
    }
    .post-header a[href*="/forum/groups/verified"] .group-label {
        min-width: 20px;
        display: flex;
        justify-content: center;
    }
    .group-label {
        vertical-align: -6px;
    }
    
    

    You should land up with something like this

    16a50d49-f765-46c9-a480-344a592baf13-image.png

    As you can see, this forces the stars out of alignment, but I don’t think this is too much of a sacrifice, and could be remediated with additional targeted CSS if need be.

    Essentially, because NodeBB doesn’t provide an id field (which would be a lot easier), we have to use wildcard CSS such as .post-header a[href*="/forum/groups/verified"] but make it targeted in the sense that it will only fire if it is part of the post stream, hence .post-header at the beginning.

    We then use .post-header a[href*="/forum/groups/verified"] .group-label to target the actual label (but only when we have a wildcard match in the CSS) meaning we can set a minimum width so that the circle doesn’t look quashed (we need to validate this on Firefox though as additional CSS might be required due to how the webkit engine will render this in contrast to mozilla).

    Finally, we use .group-label to force alignment in terms of height to prevent it wandering out of the inline-block.

    This is already active on your forum, so nothing for you to do but (hopefully) admire 🙂

    Let me know.

    Just one things my friend.

    I search a css class for display groupname on group icons mouse over but don’t find it.

    @DownPW Mmmmm, yes, the fastest way to do that would be to use the title attribute. Bootstrap has native support for that

    8e9af7a4-b69c-4573-93cb-72dce2d8bcf3-image.png

    If you added this attribute then hovered over the element, you’d see this

    4cd5440b-649f-4817-be85-08ff54a8859b-image.png

    It’s possible to write jQuery to handle this - aside from that, you’d need to hack into the post template which I wouldn’t recommend. There isn’t any native CSS that will do this for you sadly, so the title="" attribute is the best way forward but won’t do anything without custom JS.

    EDIT - I actually have a requirement for this myself, so will probably write some code to do it over the coming days/weeks (really depending on how much free time I have).

    @crazycells it’s possible, but would be very complex. Much less hassle to use either a direct image (which probably won’t look very good on scale) or use this SVG from Font Awesome which appears to be free 👍

    @phenomlab since both admin and global moderator badges are close to purple/maroon color, you can change one to green (which I believe was the verified badge color)

    @crazycells @DownPW something of a “fresher” approach. Have a look at the below

    5602e864-6de6-4a09-9dd1-eb33b2807774-image.png

    Using the messenger type view I created, it then becomes possible to place the “verified” group according to the style from the same view.

    This does mean some new CSS

    .self-post a[href*="/groups/verified"] .group-label {
        position: absolute !important;
        right: 51px;
        top: 44px;
    }
    .topic-response-post a[href*="/groups/verified"] .group-label {
        position: absolute !important;
        left: 20px;
        top: 44px;
    }
    .topic-response-post i[component="user/status"] {
        position: absolute;
        left: -1px;
    }
    

    And, more importantly, I found a more efficient way of adding classes in the messenger view js. The revised code is below

    // Target those elements already loaded in the DOM
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            $('li[component="post"]').each(function(i, obj) {
                if (!$(this).hasClass('self-post') || (!$(this).hasClass('self-post'))) {
                    console.log("Adding required classes for messenger type view");
                    $(this).addClass('topic-response-post');
                }
    
            });
        });
    });
    // Target elements dynamically added to the DOM on post load
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.loaded', function(data) {
            $('li[component="post"]').each(function(i, obj) {
                if (!$(this).hasClass('self-post') || (!$(this).hasClass('self-post'))) {
                    console.log("Adding required classes for messenger type view");
                    $(this).addClass('topic-response-post');
                }
    
            });
        });
    });

    @phenomlab this looks cooler than usual badges 👍 thanks for the codes…

    but, I believe it should be located slightly lower since there is already a status circle that is taking some space from the avatar, and now this is taking more 🙂 it feels like you are conversing with someone that has sunglasses, a scarf, and a hat 😄 I prefer to see their faces more clearly (well, in this case avatar 😄 )
