Solved Customisation

  • hi @phenomlab

    on v2.x , I have user online widget in my home page and I can center the widget like this :

    4df43aa7-122e-4696-b8e0-72fa48280350-image.png

    c6409e47-96b9-473b-8fe0-28ec73b050fa-image.png

    because we have a div by default on the widget

    I can’t do the same on v3.x

    Any idea how to get the same result ?

    Thanks Dude

    @DownPW I’d give the widget itself an id and then add custom css to that

    653aad37-edd8-4dee-a212-74a9249ea722-image.png

    div#onlineusers {
        left: 0;
        right: 0;
        margin: 0 auto;
        position: relative;
    }

    Yep, it’s a good idea thanks to you but I’d like to display it without div card-header and body like the first screen

    @DownPW In that case, change the container code to

    9a2d4511-bf9b-42d0-8021-b6d47ec4ae1c-image.png

    <div id="onlineusers">{{body}}</div>
    

    And same CSS class

    div#onlineusers {
        justify-content: center;
        display: flex;
    }
    

    Then add padding and margin to suit

    Hello mark 🙂

    I wanted for test purposes, to put the welcome message in the Brand menu in the header widget.

    I commented in the footer widget the corresponding code then I added it in my brand header widget:

    <span id="thisuser" class="getUsername">, &nbsp;<a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span>
    

    I commented out the old CSS to add the new:

    /* Welcome Message Username on Header */
    span#thisuser {
         margin-top: 0.7rem;
         margin-left: 2px;
         margin-right:-2px;
         font-size: .875rem;
         line-height: 1.4rem;
         font-weight: 500;
    }
    

    So far everything is fine, the result is correct :

    4c4eedf9-e511-4e3c-acb8-0049035729a6-image.png

    But as soon as I select links in the left sidebar (home, recent, etc …), the message is added and displayed as many times as I select a link .

    Did I miss something or do you have an idea to solve this bug?

    @DownPW sorry for the delay. That is being caused by ajax which is adding another element each time data is being called. I’d need to see the entire code block where you are adding this to confirm, but from the video you provided, that’s typically caused by the above.

    You only need that specific function to run once at page load - it’s running each time data is being requested which explains the additions.

    it’s just the brand HTML header widget, just add this code to him

    <span id="thisuser" class="getUsername">,  <a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span>]
    

    What do you want ? The HTML header widget on welcome message JS code ?

    EDIT : All code in PM

    @DownPW thanks. Can you try a theory for me and change that code so it looks like the below

    <span id="thisuserbrand" class="getUsername">,  <a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span>
    

    I expect this to return nothing, which will prove my theory around the Ajax calls.

    @DownPW then the problem isn’t the existing function. That ID I provided doesn’t exist anywhere and isn’t tied to any elements so should never trigger.

    oups don’t know why I have used this code, replace by :

    <div class="getUsername">, <a href="/me"><span class="username"></span></a></div>

    @DownPW did you remove the original line from the footer before placing it in the brand header?

  • wrote on last edited by DownPW

    remove no, but commented like this

    <!-- <span id="thisuser" class="getUsername">,  <a href="/me"><span class="username">DownPW</span></a></span> -->
    

    EDIT: test with remove = same

  • remove no, but commented like this

    @DownPW can you send me the footer function your are using. I’m 100% certain this is being caused by the ajax call.

    @DownPW can you change the top line of this function from

    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function (data) {
    

    To

    $(document).ready() {
    

    Save and let me know if this changes anything. The theory here is that the Ajax call in the top line causes the prepend to be executed multiple times

    @DownPW it should work once at least on site reload, no? Or does it crash?

    @DownPW that shouldn’t cause the error you are seeing there. It looks like that is from the previous function.

  • wrote on last edited by DownPW

    the previous function is just fancybox and nothing more :

    // Fancybox Media Reader
    if (top.location.pathname !== '/login') {
        $(window).on('action:posts.loaded', function(data) {
            console.log("Polling DOM for lazyLoaded images to apply Fancybox");
            $(document).ready(function() {
                $('a').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() {
                    $('a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate");
                });
            });
        });
    }
    
    if (top.location.pathname !== '/login') {
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
                this.$('a').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() {
                    $('a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate");
                    data.preventDefault()
                    // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :)
                    $('blockquote img').remove();
                });
                Fancybox.bind(
                    'a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]', {
                        groupAll: true,
                    }
                );
            });
        });
    }
    
    // Chat fancybox - fires when chat module loaded and AJAX calls new chat
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:chat.loaded', function(data) {
                this.$('img').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() {
                    var newHref = $(this).attr("src");
                    $(this).wrap("<a class='fancybox' href='" + newHref + "'/>");
                    $('a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate");
                    data.preventDefault();
                    // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :)
                    $('blockquote img').remove();
                });
                Fancybox.bind(
                    'a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]', {
                        groupAll: true,
                    }
                );
        });
    });
    

    the error above just appear wit hthe change of $(document).ready() {, no error with $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function (data) {

    @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?

    @crazycells yes, I’m aware of that. Need to fix EDIT- fixed. Caused by the same CSS that is used to absolutely position the “verified” group badge in the posts view. Amended this CSS so that is specifically targets the post stream as below li[component="post"] a[href*="/groups/verified"] { position: absolute !important; left: 8px; z-index: 2; margin-top: 1px; border-radius: 999px !important; line-height: 14px; display: block; height: 22px; margin-left: 0px !important; }
