[NODEBB] Help for my custom CSS

It’s ok for duplicate ajax problem but not fixed for the the footer image : It’s appear one time and if you go to another section (like recent or unread for example), the image on footer don’t appear

I kind of expected that because the footer image relies on an ajax reload to determine the time, then work out which image to display based on that. The real problem here is that the prepend is being called on each request, and because it’s an prepend, you are seeing multiple copies.

One way to fix this is to delete the element and recreate it, but that is horribly inefficient

I’ve modified the function to include a check to see if the containing div is empty or not - if it is, we add the icon and message - if it’s already there, we skip it

    // Test to see if the DIV containing the icon and message is empty. If it is, insert icon and message
    if ($('#busername').length === 0) {
        $('.getUsername').prepend("<div id='busername'><i id='thisicon' class='" + theicon + "'></i></div>" + themessage);
    } else {
        // nothing to do here :)
    }

(Note that this has been added to the existing function)

And some minor css which allows us to float the new div so that it displays inline

// Inline display fix for Welcome DIV
div#busername {
    display: inline;
}

You talk about making it dynamic but I don’t really see what you mean since the theme colors represented do not change.
Unless you want to automate it. Genre detects the 2 main color types of the theme according to 2 values/declarations present in the css file.

Simple enough -you just reference the variables, but admittedly, you’d need to refactor some code to make this work transiently, so it’s probably not a very good idea. I suppose it really depends on how often you decide to revamp your themes - in which case, it would make sense.

I just don’t like static variables

It doesn’t bother me too much personally because I’m not ready to modify the themes in depth, especially the main colors, but what you say makes sense.
It’s always better to automate when you can.

I’ll see what you can do ha ha

In any case, I’m happy to bring my stone to the building

Hello @phenomlab

I have a dropdown menu with manu different left icons and I want to align vertically the <a> text
I don’t know why I can’t do it. Fatigue maybe?

Here the code of my menu :

<li><a id="menubrand" class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i id="menubrand" class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-scroll text-primary"></i>&nbsp; Règlements</a></li> 
<li><a id="menubrand" class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i id="menubrand" class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-newspaper"></i>&nbsp; Annonces</a></li> 
<li><a id="menubrand" class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i id="menubrand" class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-people text-primary"></i> &nbsp; Team</a></li> 
<li><a id="menubrand" class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx""><i id="menubrand" class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-database text-primary"></i> &nbsp; Tutoriels</a></li> 
<li><a id="menubrand" class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i id="menubrand" class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-bug text-primary"></i> &nbsp; Bug Report</a></li> 
<li><a id="menubrand" class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i id="menubrand" class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-brands fa-wikipedia-w text-primary"></i> &nbsp; Wiki</a></li>

Resut :

Many thanks

@DownPW You’ll need to restructure the HTML first - don’t use nbsp; - you should always use margin or padding Also, you are using the same ID multiple times which will cause you problems with markup as it is not unique.

Try this

<li><a class="menubrand dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-scroll text-primary menubrand"></i>Règlements</a></li> 
<li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-newspaper menubrand"></i>Annonces</a></li> 
<li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-people text-primary menubrand"></i>Team</a></li> 
<li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx""><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-database text-primary menubrand"></i>Tutoriels</a></li> 
<li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-bug text-primary menubrand"></i>Bug Report</a></li> 
<li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-brands fa-wikipedia-w text-primary menubrand"></i>Wiki</a></li>

Then use this CSS

i.menubrand {
    max-width: 25px;
    width: 25px;
    margin-right: 10px;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

Should give you this

[DownPW]

hmmm ok I will test asap thanks
Why have you the second icon with no colors : odd no ?

[DownPW]

Edit :

Ok, find the problem, second line have no text-primary and the first line have a different a class.

– Better like this I think :

<li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-scroll text-primary menubrand"></i>Règlements</a></li> 
<li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-newspaper text-primary menubrand"></i>Annonces</a></li> 
<li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-people text-primary menubrand"></i>Team</a></li> 
<li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx""><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-database text-primary menubrand"></i>Tutoriels</a></li> 
<li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-bug text-primary menubrand"></i>Bug Report</a></li> 
<li><a class="dropdown-item rounded-1" href="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><i class="fa-solid fa-lg fa-brands fa-wikipedia-w text-primary menubrand"></i>Wiki</a></li>

Thank you my friend

@DownPW I was just going to say that

[DownPW]

Just this bug.

How can I change the icon color of the active page? as you can see, the icon is not visible when we are on the selected page
I don’t want to change background active primary color but for example change icon to white like the text or other color

[phenomlab]

@DownPW I just checked this, and it looks as though you are using using a transparent colour to work around the hover issue?

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

Not at all
The problem occurs on the left sidebar but not in the Brand menu.

[phenomlab]

@DownPW This is what I see in the left side bar. I am using the Metallic theme?

[DownPW]

You must have a cache problem because the CSS is not even active on your image

The problem appears on the current page and not the hover

For example, use the menu to go to the Rules page. Once on the rules page, reuse the menu to see the bug

[phenomlab]

@DownPW Cache cleared, but…

[DownPW]

re test and click on a link ?

[DownPW]

[phenomlab]

@DownPW I see it in an incognito session - looks like I’ve got some browser related issues

So it’s not hover, but :active

I’d ne inclined to use transparency here as it’s much less effort

.dropdown-item.active, .dropdown-item:active {
    --bs-dropdown-link-active-bg: #b9babe38;
}

That will give you (for this swatch at least)

[DownPW]

Yes thnaks it’s a solution but is there another way? Like targeting icons when the dropdown is active rather than changing the background because I already use --bs-dropdown-link-active-bg elsewhere

Otherwise we can cheat by changing the color of the icons at any time but I find it less good.

maybe change html for add specific class

It’s just a question, I can eventually satisfy myself with this solution

[phenomlab]

@DownPW Try this

a.active i {
    color: #ffffff!important;
}
