  • Thanks you Mark !

    I know why I have don’t find this directive lol : I got my brushes tangled up in the dev console 🙂

    So for deleted post , I prefer use li.pt-4.deleted instead of .deleted because .deleted is in conflict with ul.categories-list li.deleted, ul.topics-list li.deleted 🙂

    @DownPW yes, fair point. The .deleted class is implicit so you need to make it unique using other classes before it to create a chain which you’ve done.

  • Hello,

    because I use nsembed plugin now, I see the frame are a bit little compared to this forum which uses the same plugin.
    How did you handle that Mark?

    @DownPW sorry, I’m not entirely sure what you mean?

    @DownPW Try this

    .embed-container iframe {
        width: 600px;
        height: 300px;
    }
    

    Obviously, adjust width and height as required

  • Hmm I have this problem with hover background color on close button on modal chat on my dev instance.
    The background color is black :

    And it seems my code doesn’t work :

    I confess that I do not fully understand why I have black and that my code is not interpreted correctly.

    Thanks in advance for your help my friends 😉

    @DownPW It’s caused by this css

    .btn-close {
        filter: var(--bs-node-btn-close-color) !important;
    }
    

    If you remove that filter, the issue will be resolved.

  • Thanks. It’s an error.
    Why I have used filter lol

  • Thanks. It’s an error.
    Why I have used filter lol

    @DownPW I figured 😁

  • @phenomlab

    So actually after research I was using as this was used in old core code.

    By removing the “Filter” directive it works for the black background on the hover of the close button: cool !!

    But for the color of the cross icon itself (In fact it is not an icon but an image) it is black for light themes, no problem but it remains black for dark themes so it becomes invisible !!!

    So here is my solution :

    .btn-close {
      background: var(--bs-node-btn-close-bg) !important;
    }
    
    • for light theme:
    --bs-node-btn-close-bg: transparent url("data:image/svg+xml,%3csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 16 16' fill='%23000'%3e%3cpath d='M.293.293a1 1 0 0 1 1.414 0L8 6.586 14.293.293a1 1 0 1 1 1.414 1.414L9.414 8l6.293 6.293a1 1 0 0 1-1.414 1.414L8 9.414l-6.293 6.293a1 1 0 0 1-1.414-1.414L6.586 8 .293 1.707a1 1 0 0 1 0-1.414z'/%3e%3c/svg%3e") center/1em auto no-repeat;
    
    • for dark themes :
    --bs-node-btn-close-bg: transparent url("data:image/svg+xml,%3csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 16 16' fill='%23fff'%3e%3cpath d='M.293.293a1 1 0 0 1 1.414 0L8 6.586 14.293.293a1 1 0 1 1 1.414 1.414L9.414 8l6.293 6.293a1 1 0 0 1-1.414 1.414L8 9.414l-6.293 6.293a1 1 0 0 1-1.414-1.414L6.586 8 .293 1.707a1 1 0 0 1 0-1.414z'/%3e%3c/svg%3e") center/1em auto no-repeat;
    

    I see you have the same problem here on sudonix, test that 😉

    @DownPW thanks. I’ll check this.

    Can you provide CSS for this please ?

    .topic-owner-post [itemprop=author]:before{
        font-family: "Font Awesome 6 pro";
        font-style: normal;
        content: "\e1e4";

    @DownPW heh, that also needs some js to make that work.

    Edit - add this js block

    function addAuthorBadge() {
      $(".topic-owner-post").each(function() {
        var $authorElement = $(this).find(".text-nowrap:first");
        
        // Check if the author badge already exists
        if (!$authorElement.find(".author").length) {
          // Prepend the author element
          $authorElement.append("<span class='author' data-toggle='tooltip' data-placement='left' title='Topic Author'><span class='author-icon'><i class='fa-regular fa-message-quote'></i></span>");
          // Add tooltip on hover
          $authorElement.find(".author").tooltip({
            content: "Topic Author",
            track: true // This enables the tooltip to track the mouse movement
          });
        }
      });
    }
    
    
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $(window).on('action:posts.loaded', function(data) {
          addAuthorBadge();
        });
    });
    
    
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
          addAuthorBadge();
        });
    });

    I just changed my smartphone (OnePlus 12R) and I see this which I cannot resolve.

    the central body is offset and is not centered on the smartphone. (production server)

    Any idea to solve this??

    @DownPW yes, I too see this on your production site. Typically, this is because of one element that is oversized and causing the entire body to shift.

    Unfortunately, it’s a slow process in terms of finding the culprit, but I’ll have a more detailed look later.

    I also noticed that the "answer "button on my DEV platform following the new update is quite large but I can’t find the right CSS target to correct it.

    Can you help me with that too?

    Sort of.

    You can stop most of the overflow with the below CSS

    body {
        overflow-x: hidden;
        max-width: 100%;
    }
    

    Add the above to the existing body class you have.

    For the remainder, it’s much easier to see where elements burst outside of their boundaries by using the global CSS below, which will draw a border around every single element - effectively, making it much easier to see

    * {
    outline: 1px solid red;
    }
    

    This then yields the below

    8a917031-91c0-4852-bd92-35cb2aa3fbd7-image.png

    As you can clearly see, the additional navigation buttons you have are flowing outside of their allowed space, which causes the body to expand to accommodate the new size. This produces the undesired effect of scrolling on the entire body.

    Then, look at the class of

    [data-widget-area=brand-header] {
        justify-content: end;
        display: flex;
    }
    

    If you remove display: flex; from this class, the icons are then stacked vertically, and the problem resolves itself. However, this looks ugly. A better way of getting closer to the result you want is to resize the logo

    [component="brand/logo"] {
        max-height: 100px;
        width: auto;
        height: 75px;
        margin-top: -1px;
        height: 45px; 
    }
    

    Here, we’ve dropped the image size from 75px to 45px, which in turn pulls the expanded DIV back into line

    1a9413d9-4403-4da5-b12c-df6919f96157-image.png

    The problem we then have is the site title, but can easily fix that with the below CSS

    @media (max-width: 768px) {
        a.text-truncate.align-self-stretch.align-items-center.d-flex h1 {
            height: 55px;
        }
    }
    

    This then yields

    240a4f8b-f193-4508-973a-62e64dae573e-image.png

    Everything now aligns correctly, and more importantly, the scrolling body is no more.

    Yes, of course. You can target the component directly for that

    [component="topic/quickreply/button"] {
       height 45px;
    }

    @crazycells it is, yes - I think I’ll leave it as there is no specific PWA CSS classes I know of. Well, you could use something like the below, but this means multiple CSS files for different operating systems. /** * Determine the mobile operating system. * This function returns one of 'iOS', 'Android', 'Windows Phone', or 'unknown'. * * @returns {String} */ function getMobileOperatingSystem() { var userAgent = navigator.userAgent || navigator.vendor || window.opera; // Windows Phone must come first because its UA also contains "Android" if (/windows phone/i.test(userAgent)) { return "Windows Phone"; } if (/android/i.test(userAgent)) { return "Android"; } if (/iPad|iPhone|iPod/.test(userAgent) && !window.MSStream) { return "iOS"; } return "unknown"; // return “Android” - one should either handle the unknown or fallback to a specific platform, let’s say Android } Once you’re in that rabbit hole, it’s impossible to get out of it.

    @DownPW it’s possible, yes, but you may inadvertently end up targeting other elements using the same class which of course isn’t desired. Can you provide a link in DM for me to review?

    @dave1904 that’s a really good point actually. I know it was there previously on Persona, but you’re right - no such function exists on harmony. However, putting something in place to mimick the behaviour of Persona won’t be hard from the js standpoint, although I wonder if perhaps we should ask the NodeBB developers is this feature was overlooked?

    @riekmedia I’ve applied some new CSS to your site. Can you reload the page and try again ? For the record, this is what I added #footer { background: #2d343e; border-top: 4px solid #2d343e; font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 70px; padding: 80px 0 0; position: relative; clear: both; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 1000; margin-left: -15px; margin-right: -338px; } The /categories page seems a bit messed up, so looking at that currently EDIT - issued some override CSS in the CATEGORIES widget <!--- CSS fix for overspill on /categories page - DO NOT DELETE --> <style> #footer { margin-right: -45px; } </style> That should resolve the /categories issue.
