  • @crazycells Sorry, yes. Fixed that now.

    @phenomlab it looks very nice 🙂 but I guess one needs a subscription to use this, right?

    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.

    No, there’s no subscription - what do you see ? The CodePen should be public?

    @phenomlab yes I can see it very well:

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

    @crazycells No, it’s the free version

    You only need the check mark itself 🙂

    @phenomlab great then, are you planning to implement it on this forum?

    I need to tailor the code for my forum…

    @crazycells Ok, so, I found some time to look at this properly today.

    Here’s the result

    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 ?

    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.

  • I had already reported this little problem to you @phenomlab

    The problem only occurs on the profile of other users and not on his own profile. (of memories)

    For my part, I solved this bug with the following code (to be adapted)

    /*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    /*-------------------      USER PROFILE ANIMATION     ------------------------*/
    /*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    
    /*[component="profile/change/picture"] img {
        z-index: 300 !important;
    }*/
    
    
    .avatar-wrapper:before {
        animation-iteration-count: infinite;
        animation: pulsate 4s ease-out infinite;
        border-radius: 50%;
        border: 15px solid var(--bs-link-color);
        content: "";
        height: 180px;
        left: -19px;
        top: -19px;
        opacity: 0;
        position: absolute;
        width: 180px;
        z-index: -1;
    }
    
    /* Change z-index Cover img profile for animation effect */
    .cover, .cover>.container {
        z-index: -2;
    }
    
    /* Avatar on user profile page */
    .account .avatar-wrapper {
        /* border: 4px solid var(--bs-link-color); */
        margin-right: 20px;

    }
    

    @DownPW yes, I remember, but anything that uses absolute positioning will always be problematic when it comes to dynamically placing elements when the browser window is resized.

    I have another idea which I’m going to try. If that doesn’t work, I’ll likely remove this altogether.

    @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.

    @eveh It’s not a GIF, no. It’s actually a webp file so made much smaller, and uses keyframes to control the rotation on hover. You can easily make your own though The CSS for that is as below @keyframes rotate180 { from { transform: rotate(0deg); } to { transform: rotate(180deg); } } @keyframes rotate0 { from { transform: rotate(180deg); } to { transform: rotate(0deg); } } Your milage may vary on the CSS below, as it’s custom for Sudonix, but this is the class that is used to control the rotate .header .forum-logo, img.forum-logo.head { max-height: 50px; width: auto; height: 30px; margin-top: 9px; max-width: 150px; min-width: 32px; display: inline-block; animation-name: rotate180, rotate0; animation-duration: 1000ms; animation-delay: 0s, 1000ms; animation-iteration-count: 1; animation-timing-function: linear; transition: transform 1000ms ease-in-out; }

    @downpw I’m inclined to agree with this. There isn’t much else you can do, and provided it works with no odd looking artefacts in other browsers, then ok. The :before and :after are pseudo classes and very well supported across all browsers (except perhaps Internet Exploder, but who uses that these days ?)
