    How to add icon on categories span time ?

    I will test this code for add Paragraph FA icon for example :

    [component="topic/header"] span.timeago:before {
        content: "\f1dd";
        margin-right: 5px;
        margin-left: 5px;
    }
    

    Result 😞

    @DownPW that won’t work unless you add a font family to go with it - any Unicode characters typically require an associated font family. Try adding

    font-family: "font awesome 5 free"; to the CSS you already have.

    I have test this :

    [component="topic/header"] span.timeago:before {
        content: "\f1c0";
        font-family: "font awesome 5 free";
        margin-right: 5px;
        margin-left: 5px;
        color: black;
    }
    

    But doesn’t work

    @DownPW does it work if you change it to
    Font Awesome 5 Free ? Might need to access your site directly to test this as it works for mine and should also work for you.

    One last thing you can try is adding the below into the CSS class - sometimes needed as the FA5 free icons are solid only, therefore may require

    font-weight: 900;

    Let me know how you get on

    That works with

    font-weight: 900;
    

    Thank you 🙂

  • @DownPW After spending a lot of time on the theme switcher (see referenced post above), I re-wrote some of it as found that there were caching issues with CSS as it always calls the same version number. The new function below resolves that issue.

    I also removed the website prefix, as with relative paths, this is not required 🙂

    // ------------------------------------------
    // Theme Switcher
    // ------------------------------------------
    // On choisit une chaine de caractère aléatoire pour affecter un numéro de version au fichier CSS. 
    // The function below creates a random string which we use for CSS versioning to prevent cache conflicts
    function generateRandomString(length) {
        var text="";
        var possible="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
        for (var i=0;
        i < length;
        i++) {
            text+=possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));
        }
        return text;
    }
    
    $(document).ready(function () {
        var string=generateRandomString(10);
        $("#random_string").text(string);
        // This variable gets the theme ID 
        // Cette variable obtient l'ID du thème
        var whichTheme=localStorage.getItem("theme");
        // This variable gets the active theme's actual URL
        //Cette variable obtient l'URL réelle du thème actif
        var activeTheme=localStorage.getItem("activeTheme");
        // This variable appends the dropdown list to the existing panel
        // Cette variable ajoute la liste déroulante au panneau existant

    hi @phenomlab

    I use .category-item:first-of-type css properties for add a border-top on my principal pages like recent, unread etc…

    But this properties add a border too on topic header categories name.

    It’s possible to disable it just on topic (topic.header) ?

    @phenomlab

    I think I understand but I don’t find the good CSS class

    here the code for recent page for example :

    .category-item:first-of-type {
    	border-top: 1px solid #0a769978 !important;
        border-top-left-radius: 4px !important;
        border-top-right-radius: 4px !important;
    }
    

    and I will test this for disable border-top on topic page but don’t work:

    .category-item:first-of-type:not(.category-item .inline-block){
    	border-top: 0px solid #0a769978 !important;
    }
    

    here the html code :

    @DownPW A couple of things here. You are using the !important argument twice - one will override the other, meaning they can’t both be set like that - typically, the last marked so will be preferred. Would this not work better ?

    .category-item.inline-block {
        border-top: none !important;
    }
    
    .category-item:first-of-type {
        border-top: 1px solid #0a769978;
        border-top-left-radius: 4px;
        border-top-right-radius: 4px;
    }

    @DownPW Try this

    .tag-list {
        display: inline-block;
        margin-top: 5px;
        line-height: 1.7;
    }
    

    Because you are using inline-block to float the elements on the same line, you cannot use margins to control the space. In this case, line-height will provide what you are looking for.

    great

    line-height: 1.7;

    is very good 😉

    @eeeee if you’re using the console, you could try node app.js > app.log 2>&1 This would redirect stdout to a file named app.log and redirect stderr to stdout. I’m not sure about standard logging under NodeBB, but there is an error log located at logs/error.log. Failing that, you could always stop the NodeBB service then use ./nodebb dev from the console which would then provide debug output.
