What is this bar called?

  • Hello @phenomlab

    I find a bug 🙂

    For example, I’m on the home page and I scroll down.
    The button at the bottom right appears.
    If I then go directly to the chat for example, the button remains and interferes with navigation/chat

    Same for all notifications page

    We need a function to deactivate the button depending on the page/URL (chats, notifications, user) like you did for the reading meter bar

    My code :

    // Scroll to top function / Reading Meter Bar / 
    // 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')) {

    @DownPW Can you replace your function with this one and let me know?

            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')) {

    @cagatay reported something similar a while back IIRC and this was the solution.

    Thanks

  • nope sorry, same things

  • nope sorry, same things

    @DownPW hmm. Odd. I’ll have to take a look at that. Not seeing that here and I think that’s the same for @cagatay

  • nope sorry, same things

    @DownPW Can you try with this code?

    @DownPW not sure if you’ve noticed, but (at least for me) the scroll to top function no longer works?

    EDIT - there is a bug in the above code. Please use this updated version

    // 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();

  • It’s funny I just realized it and I was going to share it here and I see your message!!
    Thanks you Mark @phenomlab 😉

    On the other hand, I have never been careful but I have the impression that the page is reloaded when you click on the button.
    I don’t know if it’s me but before, (on v2 perhaps?) we saw the page scroll from bottom to top after pressing the button

    I find this strange. I’ve never seen this on other sites using the same type of scroll to top

    @DownPW you are right - it used to scroll to the top but I changed it because “scroll top” actually only applied to what was in the DOM at the time meaning that as data was being added, the “top” position was no longer a true representation and so the button had to be clicked multiple times to reach the “real” top.

  • Ok, thanks to confirm 🙂
    so I have no possibility of modifying it to display the same effect as on v2?

    @DownPW it can easily be reverted, but I don’t want to maintain two sets of code. I’ll defer to others here for that final decision as I know it did cause some confusion.

  • no problem dude @phenomlab 🙂
    I put a modification here that seems to work as a reminder if you don’t mind.

    –> If yes, you can delete it.

    use $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, '300'); to smoothly scroll the page to the top when the #pageUp button is clicked. This code will provide a smooth scrolling effect from the bottom to the top of the page without reloading it.

    @DownPW Just to circle back to this, the decision to reload the page instead of multiple scrolling / clicking was based on this discussion, which I’m including here for brevity

    https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17395/scroll-top-function?_=1695115491466

  • @DownPW you are right - it used to scroll to the top but I changed it because “scroll top” actually only applied to what was in the DOM at the time meaning that as data was being added, the “top” position was no longer a true representation and so the button had to be clicked multiple times to reach the “real” top.

    you are right @phenomlab the code I gave yesterday works but does the same thing as you described.

    here a mix of the 2 (scroll to top & scroll to top with refresh)

    // Scroll to top function (classic scroll to top)

                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

    I found it interesting to keep the scroll effect on the home page

    The scroll to top with refresh is applied on the routes indicated in the script (/recent, /unread, etc.). The classic scroll to top applies to other pages and the scroll to top is disabled in chat, etc…

    For the previous script, I used the code from your v2 and doing myself but I’m not being a good JS developer, so this time I asked to ChatGPT to help me, sorry !

    I tested the code and it seems to work correctly without any bugs but could you check @phenomlab if this seems correct to you even if the code works?

    A machine will not replace humans in this regard. At least for now 🙂

    @DownPW 🙂 Love it - let me try this out!

    EDIT - Tried it, and there’s a couple of bugs. For example, if you use a custom page, scroll to the bottom, then use the back to top button, you have to scroll the mouse wheel down 16 times (if you do it quickly - depending on intervals it can be much less) before it’ll work properly. This is animation jitter as far as I can see where the animation does not complete on time and is therefore stuck in a loop.

    Have a look yourself here and see if you get the same experience

    https://sudonix.org/journey

  • Seems you can fix this by using e.preventDefault() see below

        // Scroll to top when #pageUp is clicked
        $(document).on("click", "#pageUp", function(e) {
            e.preventDefault(); // Prevent default behavior
            $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, '300'); // Animate scrolling to top
            $('#progress-bar').width(0);
            pageUp.removeClass('show');
        });

    @Panda you’d be surprised. If you consider that you’d need to use the API to be able to populate a WordPress widget for example (which in turn would of course be PHP), taking this route is still immensely popular.

    @Panda said in Nodebb design: One negative is not being so good for SEO as more Server side rendered forums, if web crawlers dont run the JS to read the forum. From recollection, Google and Bing have the capability to read and process JS, although it’s not in the same manner as a physical person will consume content on a page. It will be seen as plain text, but will be indexed. However, it’s important to note that Yandex and Baidu will not render JS, although seeing as Google has a 90% share of the content available on the web in terms of indexing, this isn’t something you’ll likely lose sleep over. @Panda said in Nodebb design: The “write api” is preferred for server-to-server interactions. This is mostly based around overall security - you won’t typically want a client machine changing database elements or altering data. This is why you have “client-side” which could be DOM manipulation etc, and “server-side” which performs more complex operations as it can communicate directly with the database whereas the client cannot (and if it can, then you have a serious security flaw). Reading from the API is perfectly acceptable on the client-side, but not being able to write. A paradigm here would be something like SNMP. This protocol exists as a UDP (UDP is very efficient, as it is “fire and forget” and does not wait for a response like TCP does) based service which reads performance data from a remote source, thus enabling an application to parse that data for use in a monitoring application. In all cases, SNMP access should be “RO” (Read Only) and not RW (Read Write). It is completely feasible to assume complete control over a firewall for example by having RW access to SNMP and then exposing it to the entire internet with a weak passphrase. You wouldn’t do it (at least, I hope you wouldn’t) and the same ethic applies to server-side rendering and the execution of commands.

    @Panda You should be able to expose the CSS for these using F12 to get into console [image: 1686833368846-3591518c-e3a3-4ada-a43c-6b32a5e0359c-image.png] [image: 1686833399483-a2b8ed46-4157-4ff2-85f0-576543380107-image.png] That should then expose the element once selected [image: 1686833431032-89d9c545-a47a-40d1-98f4-80cf3b958e8f-image.png] Here’s the below CSS you need based on the screenshot provided. .composer .formatting-bar .formatting-group li[data-format="picture-o"], .composer .formatting-bar .formatting-group li[data-format="spoiler"] { display: none; }

    @Panda said in Smart Widgets: So why is that, or conversely why would the function to expose username ever be required, as it seems app.user is already an available global object? It is, yes, but not if you are using it outside of a widget. The function I wrote is also historical and comes from the 2.x train

    @eeeee said in restarting nodebb on boot: can I just run nodebb under nodemon for auto restarts? It’s a better method. Nodemon just looks for file system changes and would effectively die if the server was rebooted meaning you’d have to start it again anyway. Systemd is the defacto standard which is how the operating system interacts in terms of services, scheduled tasks etc.
