    @crazycells just thinking about this. Wouldn’t it be easier to just use font awesome?

    as far as I remember, we discussed this before and you mentioned that that badge is not in the free tier.

    @crazycells This intrigued me somewhat, I won’t lie 🙂 I decided to take a stab at this myself.

    I am looking forward to seeing that on the avatars as “verified badge”, please do not forget to share your CSS code for its position 😆 when you implement it.

    since your code has “/font-awesome/6.4.0/” in it, I assumed you are using pro version.

    Notice the “Twitter-esque” verified badge?

    I found this

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Twitter_Verified_Badge.svg and downloaded it, then uploaded it to /assets/public/images

    Then, I used the below CSS code

        li[component="post"] a[href*="/groups/verified"] {
            position: absolute !important;
            left: 2px;
            z-index: 2;
            margin-top: 1px;
            border-radius: 999px !important;
            line-height: 14px;
            display: block;
            height: auto;
            margin-left: 0px !important;
            background: transparent !important;
            width: auto;
        }
    
        li[component=post] a[href*="/groups/verified"]:before {
            background: url(https://sudonix.org/assets/images/Twitter_Verified_Badge.svg) !important;
            content: "";
            height: 22px;
            width: 22px;
            display: block;
        }
        li[component=post] a[href*="/groups/verified"]:after {
            background: #ffffff !important;
            height: 9px;
            width: 9px;
            content: "";
            display: block;
            top: 10px;
            position: absolute;
            z-index: -1;
            left: 12px;
        }
    

    Some points to consider

    • The CSS code extensively uses :before and :after pseudo elements. Essentially, :before adds the SVG icon and positions it, and :after adds a smaller “white square” which is conveniently positioned behind the :before element using z:-index: -1;

    The purpose of the “white square” is to provide a dirty way to fill in the transparency which is present in the SVG so it looks right.

    This is pretty tough to display on mobile viewports, so it’s best to hide it completely using this code

    @media (max-width: 767px) {
        li[component="post"] a[href*="/groups/verified"].badge, .account a[href*="/groups/verified"].badge {
                display: none !important;
            }
    

    EDIT: Just realised that this icon (being a group) is also displayed on the user’s profile page, so we’ll need CSS to make that look good too…

    I’ve absolutely no idea who this guy is… 🙂

    Here it is

        .account a[href*="/groups/verified"] {
            position: absolute !important;
            z-index: 2;
            background: transparent !important;
            margin-left: -10px;
        }
        .account a[href*="/groups/verified"]:after {
            background: #ffffff !important;
            height: 9px;
            width: 10px;
            content: "";
            display: block;
            top: 10px;
            position: absolute;
            z-index: -1;
            left: 12px;
        }
        .account a[href*="/groups/verified"]:before {
            background: url(https://sudonix.org/assets/images/Twitter_Verified_Badge.svg) !important;
            content: "";
            height: 22px;
            width: 22px;
            display: block;
        }
    

    Enjoy.

  • hello @phenomlab

    I am trying to apply your code for the “all” group which all my members are part of.

    43c6f309-bbfe-41ae-891b-b52a28d04fdd-image.png

    I downlaod the image of the twitter badge in full resolution and upload in the same place and I access it correctly.

    On the other hand it would seem that the badge is displayed badly (cut on the right for the first on the screen) then transparent for the second and on the 3rd it is not displayed aps.

    An idea ?

    @DownPW it’s really hard to see that image. I’ll need to look at your dev server directly to see what’s happening here.

  • I just found some answers @phenomlab

    It is absolutely necessary that the user is displaying the badge of the group in his profile:

    That the question, How to force put the user in a group ?
    For the rest of the display bugs, I have not yet found.

    Yes, it won’t display without that. I don’t know of a way to force it either.

  • If I apply light themes we see better.
    In fact, ther badge is cut on the right and we have the dexcription badge below :

    @DownPW yes, that’s just going to be positioning. Remember we are using position: absolute; and your CSS is likely to differ so you may need to tweak the positioning slightly to suit.

    hi @phenomlab, we should be able to download this…

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Twitter_Verified_Badge.svg

    …and recolor it accordingly and upload it to the forum the same way, right? These colors are reminding everyone “twitter” , I believe it would be nicer if it is changed according to the personality of the forum, so it will look more original while maintaining “meaning”…

    I think here on this forum, “sudonix orange” color would look cooler than “twitter blue”

    @crazycells that’s odd. Shouldn’t look like that (at least, it doesn’t on my device). What device are you using?

    @crazycells hmm. That’s a good idea. Let me have a look at that.

    @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.

    @Panda said in Email validation NodeBB: Did you configure that as a custom change to the usual quote icon. How do you do that? I notice on NodeBB site its a solid blue quotes Yes, I changed it. NodeBB by default users the free font awesome library whereas I use the pro (paid) version SDK have access to a wider set of icons, and at different thicknesses etc. The change of colour is just simple CSS.

    @Sala This should look better .sidenav .navbar-brand { padding-top: 0.5rem; padding-bottom: 0.5rem; } [image: 1669026666905-e5cec20e-be36-4ee8-9129-fd11ad4656ac-image.png] You can increase the top and bottom padding by increasing the values above.

    @cagatay JS will work fine - no changes there, and there are no plans to drop support for jQuery. More of an issue is the CSS - for which there are quite a few breaking changes. Keep an eye on sudonix.dev (my development site) where you can see progress in relation to how I am tackling the compatibility issues.
