    @crazycells If I understand this correctly, you want a (for example, 5px) border around each card that is taken from the relevant category’s colour ?

    yes, actually even 1 px is doing the job. I made a change in inspector CSS codes to show the final result I aim…

    up there I only changed this line:

    border: 1px solid #e3e3e3;
    
  • @crazycells I have this running on https://hostrisk.com which is my cyber security (automated) news site. Are you looking for something like this ?

    46465831-6773-4784-8f23-feecc7db9117-image.png

    Here’s a jQuery function that will do this on the fly

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            $('.recent-card-container').each(function(i) {
                var dataId = $(this).attr("data-cid");
                var color = $('[role="presentation"]', this).css("background-color");
                console.log("data-cid " + dataId + " is " + color);
                $('[data-cid="' + dataId + '"] .recent-card').attr("style", "border-color: " + color);
            });
        });
    });
    

    Paste this into your ACP -> Appearance -> Custom JS, save, and test

    @crazycells No problems. Feel free to comment out line

    console.log("data-cid " + dataId + " is " + color);
    

    From that function as it’s only used to ensure the script is picking up the relevant background-color from the category.

    @phenomlab I think in dark mode, it is going back to normal. Is there an easy way to keep the same border color in dark mode as well?

    @crazycells Dark mode shouldn’t have any impact - can you provide a URL where I can see this ?

    @phenomlab Yes, I see the issue. It’s because of lazy CSS classes meaning this below will override everything else when body.lights-out is appended to the existing CSS class.

    body.lights-out .recent-cards .recent-card-container .recent-card {
        background-color: #2E2E2E;
        border: #848484;
    }
    

    You should be able to work around that by adding this into your custom CSS

    body.lights-out .recent-cards .recent-card-container .recent-card {
        border: 1px solid #848484;
    }

    Let me know how you get on.

    @phenomlab Yes, I found the lines and fixed them 😄

    Thank you very much. Since the recent card plugin-related codes are not included in the night mode plugin; we have previously added some custom codes for recent cards… Apparently, those codes were creating the problem. Now, it is fixed 👍

    hi @phenomlab , somehow recent cards are not clickable in my forum after using these codes, however, it works fine here…

    Normally, when I click a card it takes me to that topic, however, nothing happens now.

    I use this CSS:

    
    li.col-md-3.col-sm-6.col-xs-12.recent-card-container {
        width: 290px !important;
    }
    

    this JS code:

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            $('.recent-card-container').each(function(i) {
                var dataId = $(this).attr("data-cid");
                var color = $('[role="presentation"]', this).css("background-color");
                console.log("data-cid " + dataId + " is " + color);
                $('[data-cid="' + dataId + '"] .recent-card').attr("style", "border-color: " + color);
            });
        });
    });
    
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
       var categoryColor = $('[role="presentation"].icon').css("background-color");
                    $('li.topic-owner-post:nth-child(1)').css('border-color', categoryColor);
        });
    });
    
    
    window.addEventListener("load", () => {
        // CHROME
        if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Chrome") != -1) {
            console.log("Google Chrome");
            $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
                $('.carousel-mode').bxSlider({
                    auto: false,
                    autoControls: true,
                    stopAutoOnClick: true,
                    pager: false,
                    keyboardEnabled: true,
                    touchEnabled: false
                });
            });
        } else {
            console.log("Others");
            $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
                $('.carousel-mode').bxSlider({

                });
            });

    @crazycells Strange. Are there any errors appearing in the console at your end ? When I look at the console itself, I see

    0a1b4841-6da4-4809-958e-4636441ada61-image.png

    However, this doesn’t seem to have any impact on the recent cards - the links appear to work fine. I think this may be a caching issue at your end ?

    @phenomlab hmm, I tried on different browsers with iPhone.

    First of all, when I delete this code:

    
    window.addEventListener("load", () => {
        // CHROME
        if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Chrome") != -1) {
            console.log("Google Chrome");
            $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
                $('.carousel-mode').bxSlider({
                    auto: false,
                    autoControls: true,
                    stopAutoOnClick: true,
                    pager: false,
                    keyboardEnabled: true,
                    touchEnabled: false
                });
            });
        } else {
            console.log("Others");
            $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
                $('.carousel-mode').bxSlider({
                    auto: false,
                    autoControls: true,
                    stopAutoOnClick: true,
                    pager: false,
                    keyboardEnabled: true,
                    touchEnabled: true
                });
            });
        }
    });
    

    then, everything is normal, cards are clickable but of course, sliding does not work.

    However, when I activate it, I could not click the cards on Safari, but it was working on Firefox. I can slide the cards on both browsers by the way.

    So, I guess like Google Chrome, Safari has its own problems with this sliding application?

    @crazycells odd. Should actually work on Safari. Can you change the line under “Others” to be touchEnabled: false and see if that allows you to select the href links ?

    Obviously, save the code and reload the site before testing again.

    with this change, in both Safari and Firefox browsers, I can click the cards and go to the topics, however sliding does not work.

    @crazycells yes, unsurprising as they both use the webkit CSS rendering engine. This will be the same bug I reference earlier that affects Google Chrome. Not much that can be done sadly.

  • wrote on last edited by phenomlab

    @pobojmoks that’s easily done by modifying the code provided here so that it targets background rather than border

    In essence, the below should work

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            $('.recent-card-container').each(function(i) {
                var dataId = $(this).attr("data-cid");
                var color = $('[role="presentation"]', this).css("background-color");
                console.log("data-cid " + dataId + " is " + color);
                $('[data-cid="' + dataId + '"] .recent-card').attr("style", "background-color: " + color);
            });
        });
    });

NodeBB by default users the free font awesome library whereas I use the pro (paid) version SDK have access to a wider set of icons, and at different thicknesses etc. The change of colour is just simple CSS.

    @cagatay JS will work fine - no changes there, and there are no plans to drop support for jQuery. More of an issue is the CSS - for which there are quite a few breaking changes. Keep an eye on sudonix.dev (my development site) where you can see progress in relation to how I am tackling the compatibility issues.

    @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.
