    Seems to be good :

    just the line from the timeline on the left that I can’t seem to display. But I note that it’s the same here on Smartphones

    I need to check and recheck now 😉

    – EDIT :

    Can you correct the title of the topic please ?

    Hello @phenomlab

    I didn’t even notice because I never use this mode. But when I say never it’s so much that I forget that it’s possible to do it.

    When right sidebar is expand, the button is at the bottom of the sidebar like this :
    image.png

    –> For now, I resolve the problem by change var buttonContainer = $('[component="sidebar/right"]'); for var buttonContainer = $('[component="sidebar/drafts"]');

    // ------------------------------------------
    function material() {
        $(document).ready(function () {
                // Create the button for custom thread view mode with custom IDs
                if ($('#materialThreadViewButton').length === 0) {
                    var threadViewButton = $('<div class="material-threads-wrapper"><form class="form"><div class="form-check form-switch form-switch-sm material-threads-wrapper"> \
                        <input class="form-check-input" id="materialThreadViewButton" type="checkbox" data-field="materialThreadView"> \
                        <label class=" d-none d-md-inline fw-semibold" for="materialThreadViewButton"></label> \
                    </div></form></div>');
                    
                // Check if the screen width is 991px or more
                if ($(window).width() >= 991) {
                    // Check if the custom thread view button already exists in the right sidebar
                    var buttonContainer = $('[component="sidebar/drafts"]');
                    // Append the button to the selected container
                    buttonContainer.append(threadViewButton);
                } 
                if ($(window).width() <= 991) {
                    // Check if the custom thread view button already exists in the bottom bar
                    //$buttonContainer = $('.bottombar-nav.p-2.text-dark.bg-light.d-flex.justify-content-between.align-items-center.w-100');
                if ($("#logged-in-menu").length > 0) {
                    var buttonContainer = $('.bottombar-nav ul#logged-in-menu');
                    }
                else {
                    var buttonContainer = $('.bottombar-nav ul#logged-out-menu'); 
                }
                // Prepend the button to the selected container
                buttonContainer.prepend(threadViewButton);
            }
                }
    
    ..............
    

    it’s clearly better :

    but if you have better solution (like add text if sidebar is expand for example) I take it 🙂

    Seems this solution give me a new bug for tooltip

    image.png

    I have test this with no working :

    if (isChecked) {
           $('[component="sidebar/drafts"]').find('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip('dispose');
       } else {
           $('[component="sidebar/drafts"]').find('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip();
       }

    @DownPW It doesn’t look right - the toggle switch is now located at the top of the menu

    @DownPW Try this. Change the function to

    function material() {
        $(document).ready(function () {
                // Create the button for custom thread view mode with custom IDs
                if ($('#materialThreadViewButton').length === 0) {

                        <input class="form-check-input" id="materialThreadViewButton" type="checkbox" data-field="materialThreadView"> \
                        <label class=" d-none d-md-inline fw-semibold" for="materialThreadViewButton"></label> \
                    </div></form></div>');
                    
                // Check if the screen width is 991px or more
                if ($(window).width() >= 991) {
                    // Check if the custom thread view button already exists in the right sidebar
                    //var buttonContainer = $('[component="sidebar/right"]ul#logged-in-menu');

                    }
                    
                    // Store the checkbox state in localStorage
                    localStorage.setItem('materialThreadViewState', isChecked);
                    
                    // Update the tooltip title
                    $(this).attr('data-original-title', theTooltip).tooltip('dispose').tooltip({
                        placement: 'bottom',
                        title: theTooltip,
                        trigger: 'hover'
                    });
                });
    
                // Check for changes in the checkbox state when the page loads
                $('#materialThreadViewButton').trigger('change');
            
        });
    }
    

    And modify this CSS to the below

    @media (min-width: 991px) {
    #materialThreadViewButton {
        border-radius: 7px;
        cursor: pointer;
        position: relative !important;
        z-index: 999;
        display: flex;
        left: 15px !important;
        top: 5px !important;
        transform: rotate(90deg) !important;
        }
    }
    

    Essentially, we have to change the positioning of the block to use the logged-in and logged-out ID’s

                // Check if the screen width is 991px or more
                if ($(window).width() >= 991) {
                    // Check if the custom thread view button already exists in the right sidebar
                    //var buttonContainer = $('[component="sidebar/right"]ul#logged-in-menu');
                if ($("#logged-in-menu").length > 0) {
                    var buttonContainer = $('ul#logged-in-menu');
                    }
                else {
                    var buttonContainer = $('ul#logged-out-menu');
                }
                    // Append the button to the selected container
                    buttonContainer.append(threadViewButton);
            }

    I tested the same thing but added a container like [component="sidebar/right"] or [component="sidebar/drafts"] or the sidebar right CSS class. it worked but it created other bugs

    I’m not sure I would have thought to do this without specifying a container and just use ul#logged-out-menu & ul#logged-in-menu ALONE, no component or CSS class 🙂

    Thanks @phenomlab

    @DownPW The real issue here is that you should always bind (either append or prepend) to an ID rather than a class. You can guarantee in most cases that the ID is unique, whereas the class probably isn’t, and that’s what is causing your issue.

    Oh yes, that’s what’s super cool, I learn something every day. Afterwards I start from so low in JS

    @Panda You should be able to use {% javscript %} as shown in this video - it’s quite the watch, but very educational, and provides insight as to how this works - see below screenshot for an example [image: cdb160e9-d955-498c-b921-982db2986e2b-image.png]

    @DownPW hi. Sorry for digging up an old post, but I’m going through items still unresolved and was looking to get an understanding of where you are currently with this?

    @phenomlab said in tag icon in front of tags: @crazycells Are you using Font Awesome Free ? If so, try this span.tag:before { content: "\f02b"; font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free"; margin-right: 5px; margin-left: 5px; font-weight: 900; } yeap, this worked thanks a lot.

    @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.

    @DownPW the ‘js’ code for the banner takes the time from the client, so what it displays really depends on the regional settings for the operating system. I’ve not seen this issue myself but would like to see some examples of screenshots if possible.
