What is this bar called?

[DownPW]

Seems to be very good. Can you give code CSS & JS for that and I Can test ?

[Panda]

@phenomlab yes, I was joking about my half star, but youre right, tone is hard to convey. I should have put a laughing emoji, as attempt at humour can be misinterpreted.

Incidentally what is the fractional, not even half, star about?!
When do I earn a full star?

[phenomlab]

@Panda no issues at all. If you click on your half star, it’ll tell you how far away you are from the next level. At the rate you’re interacting, it won’t take long

Edit - if you go to your profile page and click your current level, that will tell you how many points you need to get to the next level.

Seems you need 8 points.

You know, that’s a good point. There are lots of other forums around that use the same schematic, so I was being lazy and followed their lead. Open to suggestions on your this though.

[Panda]

@phenomlab its a minor detail really.
I clicked on it and saw Im not far away from a full star, but thats actually a hollow star (not filled in)
So I suppose you would expect a half filled in star to progress to a filled in star?
Anyway its a tiny detail.
If using unfilled stars, maybe just start with one and increase the number of stars.

[phenomlab]

@Panda yes, that’s a really good point. I’m using the pro version of Font Awesome but looking at it now after the point you just made, it seems somewhat nonsensical and should be changed.

Either 0-50 gets one star and so on, or I use a different icon to show new users. I didn’t want anyone coming here to be without any form of recognition hence 0-50.

[Panda]

On a more important point, I made a post on Nodebb trying to clarify why Reputation is stored as two values in the database
A reputation value
A reputation score

It seems somewhat duplicated, can you explain the difference

[phenomlab]

@Panda I think the value is for the icon, and the score is the actual number.

[Panda]

@phenomlab
As a design point, always a risk for bugs having duplicated data.
It would be better to just store score, and then get the icon from the table that stores icon cutoffs.

[phenomlab]

@Panda yes, that’s hard to argue. I’d just store numbers then use logic to determine which icon should be issued based on that.

However, I do see the reasoning for NodeBB’s approach s this was previously a community plugin and backwards completely of course has to be considered.

[Panda]

@phenomlab
Just my personal opinion, I wish it had been left as plugin. Im assuming from your comment Reputation code is core now?

I disabled this reputation on some forums. Have you seen the 10rules of how its calculated?
One of rules is something like:
by down-voting the object user loses x% subject to maxmin(5,50) and the subject loses y%, subject to criterias 1-10.
All sounded a bit complicated!
I am fundementally minimalist, so despite Flarums list of disadvantages, it has a clean start position.
NodeBB should be wary of throwing too much in as default and then ending up with bugs.
Just my opinion

[phenomlab]

@Panda yes, that’s why I disabled down voting here. If you don’t like a post, move on. Simple.

It’s still a plugin, but officially supported by NodeBB. The user level plugin doesn’t have any bearing on reputation. There is another plugin that exerts greater control over the reputation system and I think you might have that installed (as I do). From recollection, the core values are quite basic unless there’s something in the underlying code that would dictate otherwise?

Of course - but beware as some of this code will be in use in the existing progress bar you have (specifically #pageup)

JS

$(document).on("click", "#pageUp", function(e) {
	const firstTopic = $('[component="category/topic"][data-index="0"]');
	if (firstTopic.length) {
		$("html, body").animate({
			scrollTop: 0
		}, '300');
	} else {
		ajaxify.refresh();
	}	
});

CSS

#pageUp {
  display: inline-block;
  background: var(--bs-body-component-active);
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  text-align: center;
  border-radius: 0.375rem;
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 70px;
  right: 80px;
  transition: background-color .3s, opacity .5s, visibility .5s;
  opacity: 0;
  visibility: hidden;
}
#pageUp.show {
  opacity: 1;
  visibility: visible;
  z-index: 10000;
  color: var(--bs-body-navbar-color) !important;
}
a#pageUp.show:hover {
  background: var(--bs-dropdown-link-hover-bg);
  border: 1px solid var(--bs-border-color);
}
a#pageUp i {
    position: absolute;
    top: 32%;
    left: 35%;
}

@media (max-width: 767px) {
    #pageUp {
        bottom: 60px;
        right: 30px;
      }
    }

Hi @phenomlab

Thanks for sharing

It’s the code for this reading bar :

In my point of view, it’s definitively better

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

It seems to be missing things because I don’t have the reading bar in the header and not have the button at the bottom right too

Could you provide me with the complete code in JS & CSS as if I was starting from scratch?

[phenomlab]

@DownPW Here you go. Remove any other references you have in custom JS that relate to the previous progress bar, and replace with this

// Scroll to top function
$(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
    var matched = false;
    $(document).ready(function() {
        var pageUp = $('#pageUp');
        var bar = $('.reading-meter');
        var perWidth = $('.reading-meter').width();
        
        // Main progressbar function
        function pageScroller() {
        var winScroll = document.body.scrollTop || document.documentElement.scrollTop;
        var height = document.documentElement.scrollHeight - document.documentElement.clientHeight;
        var scrolled = (winScroll / height) * 100;

        document.getElementById("progress-bar").style.width = parseFloat(scrolled).toFixed(0) + "%";
        $('#percentage').val(parseFloat(scrolled).toFixed(0) + "%");

        // Prevent the mouse scroll wheel from scrolling down after the pageUp button is clicked
        if ($('#pageUp').is(':focus')) {
        event.preventDefault();
        }
    }

        // Bind the pageScroller function to the window's scroll event
        $(window).scroll(function() {
            pageScroller();
        });

        // Check the URL and composer visibility separately from the scroll event
        $(window).scroll(function() {
            var thisURL = window.location.href;
            var checkURL = ["topic", "notifications", "user"];
            var isFound = false;
            for (var i = 0, len = checkURL.length; i < len; i++) {
                if (thisURL.indexOf(checkURL[i]) > -1) {
                    isFound = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
            if (isFound) {
                bar.removeClass('show');
                pageUp.removeClass('show');
            } else {
                // Exception here is that we don't want the scroll bar to show when the composer is active
                if ($(window).scrollTop() > 0 && (!$('[component="composer"]').is(":visible"))) {
                    bar.addClass('show');
                    pageUp.addClass('show');
                } else {
                    bar.removeClass('show');
                    pageUp.removeClass('show');
                }
            }
        });

        // Scroll to top when #pageUp is clicked
        $(document).on("click", "#pageUp", function(e) {
            const firstTopic = $('[component="category/topic"][data-index="0"]');
            if (firstTopic.length) {
                $("html, body").animate({
                    scrollTop: 0
                }, '300');
            } else {
                ajaxify.refresh();
            }	
        });
    });
});

Now in the custom header, remove the previous code that probably looks something like this

<div id="readingposition" class="reading-meter" style="bottom: 0px;">
    <div class="pageUp" id="pageUp"><i class="fa fa-angle-double-left pointer" aria-hidden="true"></i></div>
    <div class="pageDown" id="pageDown"><i class="fa fa-angle-double-right pointer" aria-hidden="true"></i></div>
    <div class="reading-meter-background rounded-1 border border-gray-300 ready">
    <div class="reading-meter-progress-bar rounded-1" id="progress-bar">
        <input disabled="disabled" type="text" id="percentage" name="percentage">
        </div>
  </div>  
  </div>

And replace with this

<a id="pageUp" class=""><i class="fas fa-chevron-up"></i></a>
<div id="readingposition" class="reading-meter" style="bottom: 0px;">
    <div class="reading-meter-background rounded-1 border border-gray-300 ready">
    <div class="reading-meter-progress-bar rounded-1" id="progress-bar">
        </div>
  </div>  
  </div>

Now use the CSS provided below (note, that you may have previous CSS that already exists if you used the older version of the progress bar - you should remove that)

#pageUp {
  display: inline-block;
  background: var(--bs-body-component-active);
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  text-align: center;
  border-radius: 0.375rem;
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 70px;
  right: 80px;
  transition: background-color .3s, opacity .5s, visibility .5s;
  opacity: 0;
  visibility: hidden;
}
#pageUp.show {
  opacity: 1;
  visibility: visible;
  z-index: 10000;
  color: var(--bs-body-navbar-color) !important;
}
a#pageUp.show:hover {
  background: var(--bs-dropdown-link-hover-bg);
  border: 1px solid var(--bs-border-color);
}
a#pageUp i {
    position: absolute;
    top: 32%;
    left: 35%;
}
.reading-meter {
    position: fixed;
    width: 100%;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    height: 2px !important;
}
.reading-meter {
    visibility: hidden;
}
.reading-meter.show {
    visibility: visible;
}


div#readingposition {
    background-color: var(--bs-body-navbar) !important;
    color: var(--bs-body-color) !important;
    height: 2px;
    z-index: 1000;
}

.reading-meter-progress {
    border: 1px solid var(--bs-border-color);
    width: 100%;
}

.reading-meter-background {
    background: var(--bs-body-bg);
}

.reading-meter-progress-bar {
    background: var(--bs-progress-bg-bar);
    height: 2px;
}
input#percentage {
    display: none;
}
 
@media (max-width: 767px) {
    #pageUp {
        bottom: 60px;
        right: 30px;
      }
    }
 

That should do it.

[DownPW]

Will test ASAP, i’m on new OGproxy conf now

[DownPW]

And where you put/replace this @phenomlab ? :

@phenomlab said in What is this bar called?:

And replace with this

<div id="readingposition" class="reading-meter" style="bottom: 0px;">
    <div class="reading-meter-background rounded-1 border border-gray-300 ready">
    <div class="reading-meter-progress-bar rounded-1" id="progress-bar">
        </div>
  </div>  
  </div>```

In the custom header I guess ?

[DownPW]

It seems to be worse. The JS no longer works.

When I remove the customJS and custom Header code. The website is OK

Could there be an error/omission in the given code? A typo in the code?

[phenomlab]

@DownPW strange. Is this on your dev server? I’ll take a look tomorrow morning.
