    @riekmedia said in NodeBB vs Discourse:

    @jac The forum is free and GPL like Nodebb too. Only if you want to host it with them and they take care of it it costs money. The software itself is free of charge

    @phenomlab yes the forum I have already seen Flarum. It’s nice that it’s based on php and I’m a php developer. But I don’t really like the structure. I was not convinced by the forum

    Never knew that 😑

    @phenomlab absolutely pal, not to trust them Walsall supporting folk 😉. Although I do believe it probably does cost them that per month.

    @jac if they are paying discourse as part of any hosting plan, then yes, they undoubtedly are.

    @phenomlab I don’t believe they we’re. I think this was for a VPS.

    So I have to honestly say that the Discourse Forum takes some getting used to. Find it partly also from the administration quite confusing. Maybe even now only at the beginning seem like this to me, but you don’t find yourself as easily right as with nodebb

    @riekmedia Yes, my experience was the same. Needless to say, I didn’t stay long 😛

    @jac interestingly, I’m playing with Ghost in a subdomain here (well, trying to. It doesn’t work 😡) and their forums are based on Discourse. On posting there about my issue, I remembered how much I dislike Discourse 🤮

    @phenomlab So far, Discourse has not really convinced me either. It is difficult to use or understand. But I do not give up. I set up a VPS in the cloud at hetzner and played around with it.

    Ghost, isn’t that the blog software?

    Certainly is. I’m toying with the idea of moving the blog posts from here into ghost but haven’t decided yet. Hetzner eh ? I use them also. In fact, Sudonix is hosted in Nuremberg 👍

    @crazycells pleasure. Using percentages makes much more sense in this case. It’s the same argument with px vs pt vs em with fonts, margins, padding, etc., in the sense that em is generally preferred over px and pt https://stackoverflow.com/questions/609517/why-em-instead-of-px

    @cagatay You could experiment with nodebb-plugin-ns-embed but I expect the x-origin tag on the remote site to prevent playback.

    @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); }); }); });
