    @phenomlab Yep but that don’t work with css File ?

    I had tried in the past to create a theme with the official nodebb doc and I never succeeded

    @DownPW I’ll need to look at the structure, but I can’t see why not.

    @phenomlab

    I also see another problem with this selector : he display all the default themes.
    We should be able to remove all those present by default and display only those we need

    in addition as soon as you do a CTRL + F5 or refresh web page with F5, it removes the theme lol

    @DownPW yes, I noticed that also. Looks like session data isn’t being retained.

    @DownPW I’m running Harmony now on https://sudonix.dev 🙂 There is no swatch functionality from what I can see, so the code we developed is still up for the taking.

    thanks for this one 👍
    I could check it more seriously…

    Just looking through my code here, and provided that Persona as a NodeBB theme continues to be maintained, then the conversion of my code to v3 is a relatively simple affair meaning I could continue with my Swatch code without too much effort.

    Essentially, the move from v2 to v3 is basically the migration of bootstrap from v3 to v5. I suppose much of this depends on the future of Persona…

    EDIT - I’ll just leave this here

    Do you think I could go through your swatch rather than the one I have?

    Because I don’t believe you released your code here. Whether ?

    Either way, I know I’ll have to start all over again in these 2 cases

    @DownPW Yes, of course. However, because of the change of elements, I have to re-write most of it. In addition, only one theme will be supported - either Persona, or Harmony. If we go the Harmony route (which is highly likely) then virtually all of the swatch needs to be re-written including LESS etc.

    I don’t want to support more than one theme and would ideally stick to Harmony.

    Yes indeed, we have to focus on one main theme and not two. (Persona or Harmony)

    I don’t yet have the opinions of the other members of my team but since it’s I who will then develop the themes compatible with Harmony, I think that we will go towards the road of Harmony

    If you are ready to share your codes once finished and explain how to use it, it’s really a good thing and I already thank you in advance 😉

    More than happy to do so. In fact, BS5 makes it so much easier as LESS variables are being used, which we simply target and change. Far LESS (pun intended) work !

    @DownPW I’ve started development work on Harmony in v3 and should have some beta code for you to test soon. Stay tuned!

    hello mark

    here is my tutorial for install V3.00 but it’s for alpha3.0 like you see in command.

    cd /path/to/your/nodebb
git rev-parse HEAD  # save this value in case you need to roll back  
git fetch && git checkout bootstrap5
git reset --hard v3.0.0-alpha.3
npm config set legacy-peer-deps true
./nodebb upgrade -mi
./nodebb build
./nodebb start

    – My questions :

    • How to know the name of the last version for V3 for install it (here is alpha.3) and adapt cli command above ?

    • How to upgrade the dev environment ? I know when Harmony it’s upgrade, we must upgrade boottrap 5

    – Here the command to upgrade bootstrap5 :

    git fetch && git checkout bootstrap5

    Many thanks

    @kadir-ay-0 marking as resolved based on https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17109/manual-build-a-night-mode-for-harmony/5 Please do not raise requests in two places - here and the NodeBB forums. All this does is create unnecessary load for both parties.

    @Panda You’ll need to do that with js. With some quick CSS changes, it looks like this [image: 1690796279348-d619844f-fbfe-4cf1-a283-6b7364f6bf18-image.png] The colour choice is still really hard on the eye, but at least you can now read the text

    @Panda said in Nodebb design: One negative is not being so good for SEO as more Server side rendered forums, if web crawlers dont run the JS to read the forum. From recollection, Google and Bing have the capability to read and process JS, although it’s not in the same manner as a physical person will consume content on a page. It will be seen as plain text, but will be indexed. However, it’s important to note that Yandex and Baidu will not render JS, although seeing as Google has a 90% share of the content available on the web in terms of indexing, this isn’t something you’ll likely lose sleep over. @Panda said in Nodebb design: The “write api” is preferred for server-to-server interactions. This is mostly based around overall security - you won’t typically want a client machine changing database elements or altering data. This is why you have “client-side” which could be DOM manipulation etc, and “server-side” which performs more complex operations as it can communicate directly with the database whereas the client cannot (and if it can, then you have a serious security flaw). Reading from the API is perfectly acceptable on the client-side, but not being able to write. A paradigm here would be something like SNMP. This protocol exists as a UDP (UDP is very efficient, as it is “fire and forget” and does not wait for a response like TCP does) based service which reads performance data from a remote source, thus enabling an application to parse that data for use in a monitoring application. In all cases, SNMP access should be “RO” (Read Only) and not RW (Read Write). It is completely feasible to assume complete control over a firewall for example by having RW access to SNMP and then exposing it to the entire internet with a weak passphrase. You wouldn’t do it (at least, I hope you wouldn’t) and the same ethic applies to server-side rendering and the execution of commands.

    @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.
