  • @DownPW sorry. I meant the imgur plugin author

    @phenomlab

    hmmm I don’t thinks so because I have the same problem on NO PRODUCTION VM and I have this bug too without nodebb-imgur-plugin.

    I have test with a local url in public nodebb folder and it’s the same too

    I test to desactivate all plugin one by one for see at the moment

    @DownPW let me know when your development server is available tomorrow and I’ll take a look at that code I provided previously

  • no problem I’m at home tomorrow all the day

    I’ll let you know if I find

  • @phenomlab

    I think it’s a nodebb issue, because with only one plugin and one theme activate :

    • nodebb-plugin-composer-default@9.1.0 (installed, enabled)
    • nodebb-theme-persona@12.1.1 (installed, enabled)

    Custom CSS, custom JS, custom Header and all custom widgets are disable…

    Result it’s the same, I have this bug.

    On your dev system, can you test to add a logo for a catégorie, delete the icon and test a new topic in this category ?

    I think you will have the same result.

    Let me know if you test too !

    @DownPW did you delete the icon ? I’m wondering if this creates an orphaned reference to an icon which of course can’t be read.

  • yes off course I delete it
    because if Idon’t delete the icon, she appears on bubble 🙂

    Open issue here:

    https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/10896

    If I not delete icon, she’s appear but not the image :

  • The issue is closed @phenomlab

    It’s a nodebb bug. Fixed in 2.5.3 milestone 😉

    @DownPW Yes, I saw that. Caused by regression from what I see.

    Thanks

    JS code seems not working but…

    I see on ACP, the image of category is uploaded to imgur :

    7ca2e670-4928-43d9-b1fd-530fae97c72a-image.png

    and I see this on dev console :

    b2321b44-7a73-4510-97b2-57fa73a096c9-image.png

    The url seems to not be encoded correctly, I don’t know why ???

    If I change manually the URL in the dev console, it’s OK:

    Sorry, that should have been something like this (obviously modify the source and replacement)

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            $(".row").find($(".fa")).removeClass('fa-fw fa-comments-o').addClass('fa-check-to-slot');
        });
    });
    
  • hi @phenomlab

    on v2.x , I have user online widget in my home page and I can center the widget like this :

    4df43aa7-122e-4696-b8e0-72fa48280350-image.png

    c6409e47-96b9-473b-8fe0-28ec73b050fa-image.png

    because we have a div by default on the widget

    I can’t do the same on v3.x

    Any idea how to get the same result ?

    Thanks Dude

    @DownPW I’d give the widget itself an id and then add custom css to that

    653aad37-edd8-4dee-a212-74a9249ea722-image.png

    div#onlineusers {
        left: 0;
        right: 0;
        margin: 0 auto;
        position: relative;
    }

  • @phenomlab

    Yep, it’s a good idea thanks to you but I’d like to display it without div card-header and body like the first screen

  • @phenomlab

    @DownPW In that case, change the container code to

    9a2d4511-bf9b-42d0-8021-b6d47ec4ae1c-image.png

    <div id="onlineusers">{{body}}</div>
    

    And same CSS class

    div#onlineusers {
        justify-content: center;
        display: flex;
    }
    

    Then add padding and margin to suit

  • Perfect my friend 😉

  • Hello mark 🙂

    I wanted for test purposes, to put the welcome message in the Brand menu in the header widget.

    I commented in the footer widget the corresponding code then I added it in my brand header widget:

    <span id="thisuser" class="getUsername">, &nbsp;<a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span>
    

    I commented out the old CSS to add the new:

    /* Welcome Message Username on Header */
    span#thisuser {
         margin-top: 0.7rem;
         margin-left: 2px;
         margin-right:-2px;
         font-size: .875rem;
         line-height: 1.4rem;
         font-weight: 500;
    }
    

    So far everything is fine, the result is correct :

    4c4eedf9-e511-4e3c-acb8-0049035729a6-image.png

    But as soon as I select links in the left sidebar (home, recent, etc …), the message is added and displayed as many times as I select a link .

    Did I miss something or do you have an idea to solve this bug?

    @DownPW sorry for the delay. That is being caused by ajax which is adding another element each time data is being called. I’d need to see the entire code block where you are adding this to confirm, but from the video you provided, that’s typically caused by the above.

    You only need that specific function to run once at page load - it’s running each time data is being requested which explains the additions.

  • it’s just the brand HTML header widget, just add this code to him

    <span id="thisuser" class="getUsername">,  <a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span>]
    

    What do you want ? The HTML header widget on welcome message JS code ?

    EDIT : All code in PM

    @DownPW thanks. Can you try a theory for me and change that code so it looks like the below

    <span id="thisuserbrand" class="getUsername">,  <a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span>
    

    I expect this to return nothing, which will prove my theory around the Ajax calls.

  • Nope @phenomlab

    Same things, same problem

  • Nope @phenomlab

    Same things, same problem

    @DownPW then the problem isn’t the existing function. That ID I provided doesn’t exist anywhere and isn’t tied to any elements so should never trigger.

    @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 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.

    @DownPW exactly. Not really a new concept, and in all honesty, not something I’ve ever used. If you consider the need to add links and references, or citations, you’d need to be able to see other parts of the screen!

    The real issue here is that most people consider forums to be “dead” in the sense that nobody uses them anymore, and social media groups have taken their place. Their once dominant stance in the 90’s and early 00’s will never be experienced again, but having said that, there are a number of forums that did in fact survive the social media onslaught, and still enjoy a large user base. Forums tend to be niche. One that immediately sticks out is Reddit - despite looking like it was designed in the 80s, it still has an enormous user base. Another is Stack Overflow, which needs no introduction. The key to any forum is the content it offers, and the more people whom contribute in terms of posting , the more popular and widely respected it becomes as a reliable source of information. Forums are still intensely popular with gamers, alongside those that offer tips on hacking etc.

    @mike-jones Yes, you’ll typically see this type of behaviour if there is another style that has higher priority in the sense that yours will be overridden. Using !important will override the higher preference, but should be used sparingly rather than everywhere.
