  • Here I am again Mark @phenomlab 😉

    I am contributing to this code to add a tooltip to the button.

    The position can be changed according to your wishes.
    For my part, I prefer to put it at the bottom because if we put it at the top it can be annoying.

    Tell me what you think about it ?

    function threaded() {
        $(document).ready(function () {
            // Check if the screen width is 1200px or more
            if ($(window).width() >= 1200) {
                // Check if the dropdown already exists
                if ($('#enableThreading').length === 0) {
                    var threadView = $('<div class="threads-wrapper"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-bars left"></i><form class="form"><div class="form-check form-switch sticky-tools-bar"> \
                        <input class="form-check-input" id="enableThreading" type="checkbox" data-field="enableThreading"> \
                        <label class=" d-none d-md-inline fw-semibold" for="enableThreading"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-bars-staggered right"></i></label> \
                    </div></form></div>');
                    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul [component="topic/browsing-users"]:last-of-type').append(threadView);
                    // Check if there's a stored state for the checkbox and update it
                    var storedState = localStorage.getItem('enableThreadingState');
                    if (storedState === 'true') {
                        $('#enableThreading').prop('checked', true);
                    }
                }
                
                // Add a tooltip to the button
                $('#enableThreading').tooltip({
                    title: 'Thread View On/Off', // Replace with your tooltip text
                    placement: 'Bottom', // Adjust the placement as needed
                    trigger: 'hover', // Show tooltip on hover
                });
                
                // Toggle the class 'threaded' on or off when the checkbox changes state
                $('#enableThreading').on('change', function () {
                    var isChecked = $(this).is(':checked');
                    if (isChecked) {
                        console.log('Thread view is active.');
                        $('ul[component="topic"]').addClass('threaded');
                        $('.posts-container').addClass('threaded');
                        $('ul[component="topic"]').addClass('threaded');

                        $('[component="post/footer"]').addClass('threaded');
                        $('[component="post"]').each(function () {
                            // Add the 'threaded' class to matching elements
                            if ($(this).hasClass('pt-4') || $(this).hasClass('self-post')) {
                                $(this).addClass('threaded');
                                $('.topic .sticky-tools').addClass('threaded');
                            }
                        });
                    } else {
                        console.log('Thread view is inactive.');
                        $('[component="post"]').removeClass('threaded');
                        $('ul[component="topic"]').removeClass('threaded');
                        $('.posts-container').removeClass('threaded');
                        $('ul[component="topic"]').removeClass('threaded');
                        $('.post-container').removeClass('threaded');
                        $('.timeline-event').removeClass('threaded');
                        $('[component="post/footer"]').removeClass('threaded');
                        $('.topic .sticky-tools').removeClass('threaded');
                    }
                    // Store the checkbox state in localStorage
                    localStorage.setItem('enableThreadingState', isChecked);
                });
                // Check for changes in the checkbox state when the page loads
                $('#enableThreading').trigger('change');
            }
        });
    }
    
    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function (data) {
        threaded();
    });
    
    $(window).on('action:posts.edited', function (data) {
        threaded();
    });
    
    $(window).on('action:posts.loaded', function (data) {
        threaded();
    });
    

    CYA my friend

    @DownPW Maybe go one better perhaps, and toggle the on/off state depending on the switch selection (I’m doing that here)

    Good work my friend

    @DownPW This part?

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul .hidden-xs').append(threadView);
    // If you have browsing users plugin, comment out the above line and uncomment the one below
    //$('.topic .sticky-tools ul [component="topic/browsing-users"]:last-of-type').append(threadView);
    

    Yes, I need to fix that! Thanks for the reminder.

  • For anyone else browsing here who has tried the code in git but wants it to look exactly like Sudonix, please note that this code is not public because it is heavily adapted to match the layout of this site. There are some Sudonix “clones” around so you can actually have this code if you really want it, but it comes with some conditions;

    1. You should consider buying me a coffee - see “Buy me a Coffee” link
    2. You have to provide a backlink to this site from your own - it needs to be visible and cannot be hidden - obviously, I can’t (and won’t) make you do this, but it’s courteous to recognize the original author - particularly when hundreds of hours were spent creating all of this eye candy 🙂
  • Hello @phenomlab

    I see this, when someone composes, it is displayed via the plugin like this (To the left of the Thread View button.). I do not know if it’s normal or if it is better to put it on the right like the others ?

    image.png

    or myself for example :

    @DownPW Mmmm - I thought that this would happen. In your js function, can you locate this line

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul .hidden-xs').append(threadView);
    

    Replace it with

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul.list-unstyled').append(threadView);

    The issue here is that the hidden-xs class is being manipulated by js which forces the position and does not use relative. This new code should hopefully work around that. It will change the placement of the threaded toggle, but for the better I think. If this works, I’ll commit the code to git

  • @phenomlab

    I don’t use this line, I commented out this line as stipulated in the script

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul .hidden-xs').append(threadView);
    

    But use this line :

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul [component="topic/browsing-users"]:last-of-type').append(threadView);
    

    image.png

    maybe change for this ?

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul.list-unstyled [component="topic/browsing-users"]:last-of-type').append(threadView);

    @DownPW sorry, use this one.

    $('.topic .sticky-tools ul.list-unstyled').append(threadView);
    

    Replace any existing line

    With this code the entire plugin is now displayed to the left of the Thread View button. I even think I prefer the way it was before.
    I find it more logical that all users are displayed to the right of the button and not to the left.

    @DownPW up to you of course but the browsing users plugin makes several adjustments to element positioning, and without moving the threading toggle outside of that, you’ll always have the issue where the composing user appears on the left because under the old code, the threading toggle shares the same space which causes the alignment issue.

    Moving outside of that div is the only way to resolve the issue. There is another way which is to append the topic tools element but that then means that users without adequate permissions will not be able to use the threading toggle at all.

  • hello @phenomlab

    I see this bug with thread view mode :

    image.png

    maybe play with z-index for resolve ?

    @DownPW yes, that’s definitely a z-index issue.

  • After test, seems to be good with add this in JS function in if and else :

    $('[component="topic/quickreply/container"]').addClass('threaded'); //test
    
    $('[component="topic/quickreply/container"]').removeClass('threaded'); //test
    

    and this to CSS :

    [component="topic/quickreply/container"].threaded {
        z-index: -1 !important;
        position: relative;
    }
    

    Tell me if this seems correct to you @phenomlab

    @DownPW seems fine, yes. Any obvious conflict with other elements?

  • I haven’t tested everything. this is something to watch out for

  • I have the same problem for thread but this time I can’t solve it 😞

    @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.
