  • @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.

    @phenomlab thank you very much 🙂 it looks great!

  • crazycellsundefined crazycells has marked this topic as solved on
  • @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).

    very clever the addition of this “Title=” attribute, I would not have thought of it myself !! Cheer !!

    This is exactly the result I’m looking for !
    I don’t even know why, I’m not amazed at your prowess anymore 🙂

    Excellent 😉

  • @phenomlab thank you very much 🙂 it looks great!

    @phenomlab lol verified badge changed here as well 🙂

    is there an easy CSS code to make it look more like a flower, rather than perfectly round? (just like the Twitter one)

    @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 yes, I need to change that here. Was switched out on a whim.

  • @crazycells yes, I need to change that here. Was switched out on a whim.

    @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 😄 )

    @crazycells ha! Yes, I see your point. I guess it’s down to taste, and thanks to the absolute positioning, you can easily customise to suit taste.

    It’s also worth noting that on here at least, this will only trigger on larger monitors - it would look awful on mobile devices in my view.

    @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 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?)

    @eeeee if you’re using the console, you could try node app.js > app.log 2>&1 This would redirect stdout to a file named app.log and redirect stderr to stdout. I’m not sure about standard logging under NodeBB, but there is an error log located at logs/error.log. Failing that, you could always stop the NodeBB service then use ./nodebb dev from the console which would then provide debug output.
