  • @DownPW Possible, yes, but it may be a little on the “greedy” side.

    Try this - obviously, remove the red border I used for testing and add your own code

    img[src$="gif"] {
        border: 10px solid red !important;
    }
    

    This is also very useful as a reference

    –> it seem to work with this code: 🙂

    /* max-width for IMG Files */
    .topic .posts .content .img-responsive {
        max-width: 45%;
    }
    
    /* max-width for GIF Files */
    .topic .posts .content .img-responsive[src$="gif"] {
        max-width: 10% !important;
    }
    

    Thanks @phenomlab for the attribute that I don’t find 😉

  • Hello @phenomlab

    It’s possible to add video background (mp4 for example)on nodebb for one theme and not for the other?

    @DownPW yes, but you have to be careful with performance. This can impact the loading of the site depending on the size of the MP4 file and where it is being accessed from.

    File accessible on the server and 22.6 mo

    How can I 'm doing this for testing?

    @DownPW Something like this would work

    <video autoplay muted loop id="bg-video">
      <source src="file.mp4" type="video/mp4">
      Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
    </video>
    

    Then some CSS which you’ll need to play with (this is an example)

    #bg-video{
      position: fixed;
      right: 0;
      bottom: 0;
      min-width: 100%; 
      min-height: 100%;
    }
    
  • hello @phenomlab

    I have a very odd bug that I didn’t have before

    I have images and background color defined for each category

    when I open a new topic, the fa icon on the bottom left taskbar does not appear like when I reply to a topic

    Here a gif too see the problem :

    new topic.gif

    And here is the result I want:

    4557001f-9b28-4a10-84e4-46d0dcffe20d-image.png

    I have tried to play with the color or z-index variable in css but nothing works

    I tried disabling the custom CSS on ACP but it’s the same. clear the cache = same

    Have you an idea ?

    You can test on production forum

    @DownPW I can’t see the images or videos, but I’ll have a look on your production site.

    @DownPW Seems to come from this code

    66521fca-2e73-4d69-820e-2915f1ecd948-image.png

    It should look like this

    Do you have any custom JS that is altering this, or perhaps a plugin ?

    @DownPW This is going to be painful, but it’s possible that one of these plugins is the cause. Have you tried disabling each one to see if the issue subsides ?

  • The last plugins we installed is the dice plugin, Iframely, and twitter, to be tested…

    Because the others are quite well known and I never noticed this bug with them, but I could be wrong.

    @DownPW Hmm. You could use a simple jQuery function to replace that icon with the right one. Just seems a bit “overkill” but might be necessary

    why not, if you can write this query I’m not saying no, just to test

    @DownPW might be a bit greedy, but try this

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            $(this).find($(".fa")).removeClass('fa-nbb-none').addClass('fa-commenting-o');
        });
    });

    JS code seems not working but…

    I see on ACP, the image of category is uploaded to imgur :

    7ca2e670-4928-43d9-b1fd-530fae97c72a-image.png

    and I see this on dev console :

    b2321b44-7a73-4510-97b2-57fa73a096c9-image.png

    The url seems to not be encoded correctly, I don’t know why ???

    If I change manually the URL in the dev console, it’s OK:

    e7b51ef6-6b5f-48a7-9ed0-4d7e27d299fe-image.png

    Yes, that certainly seems the case. I think you need to take this issue up with the plugin developer.

    @DownPW sorry. I meant the imgur plugin author

    @cagatay The most reliable way to upgrade Node.js on Ubuntu depends on how you originally installed it. Method 1: Using NVM (Recommended) If you already use Node Version Manager (NVM), upgrading is simple. NVM allows you to keep both versions and switch between them if needed. Install Node 22: nvm install 22 Switch to Node 22: nvm use 22 Set it as your default: nvm alias default 22 Verify the change: node -v Method 2: Using NodeSource (PPA) If you installed Node.js via apt using the NodeSource repository, you need to update the repository script to point to the new version. Remove the old NodeSource list (optional but cleaner): sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list Download and run the NodeSource setup script for Node 22: curl -fsSL [https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x](https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x) | sudo -E bash - Install/Upgrade Node.js: sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Verify the installation: node -v Method 3: Using the ‘n’ Package If you have npm installed, you can use the n interactive manager. Clear the npm cache: sudo npm cache clean -f Install the ‘n’ helper: sudo npm install -g n Install Node 22: sudo n 22 Update your shell: hash -r Troubleshooting Permission Denied: If you see permission errors using Method 2 or 3, ensure you are using sudo. Path Issues: If node -v still shows version 20 after upgrading via NVM, restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc. Conflicts: Avoid mixing these methods. If you switch from apt to nvm, it is best to sudo apt remove nodejs first to avoid path conflicts.

    @Teemberland great spot ! You should create a PR for that so they can include it in the official repository. Just be aware that any subsequent releases will overwrite your fix without the PR.

    @cagatay you’ll need to define this in the body tag (or another element if you want greater or more granular targets) - for example body { font-family: "Poppins"; font-size: 16px; } Essentially, you use the font-size CSS directive.
