I even set to 3 recent replies, my board still display 1 topic on home

I would give them a couple of days to respond. If there is no response then create an issue.

Thnak you. Actually I had a bug on some css that I added. Sorry for wasting your time.

I use a slightly modified version of lavender for my site, and up until now that's been quite a headache.

I've had to maintain an entire theme which is just a fork of lavender and constantly merge in changes just so I can have one template file be slightly different.

I was wondering if this is now something I can resolve with the baseTheme parameter?

If MyTheme has a baseTheme of nodebb-theme-lavender, which in turn has a baseTheme of nodebb-theme-vanilla does that mean that I can change my repo to just be the one altered file?

I remember in the past I tried inheritance and found it didn't work.

I think I resolved the issue.

I uninstalled Lavender and reinstall it. Seems to be only one instance now

Should be fixed on lavender 1.0.1, if user didn't have a preference set in localStorage it was defaulting to fluid width whereas the template was starting with fixed width.

If you make a menu.tpl in lavender it will overwrite the one from vanilla so thats one way of doing it. Or you can fork vanilla and do the changes in your fork and make that a new theme.

Awesome! Thanks guys!

@julian Right, I understand. It just makes it difficult to migrate from a more traditional forum like phpBB (which is the most, or perhaps second-most, used forum software today). I think making it easier to migrate from phpBB's format could only help nodeBB gain more ground 🙂 Here is the github issue I opened a couple weeks ago. It was closed, though I hope we can reopen it. I'm more than willing to contribute. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

@baris Guess that should have been the obvious, and yeah, we had some code that would auto generate a background for users. Disabling that did fix it. I really appreciate the help, feel kind of stupid now lol. Besides that being fixed now we still have an ongoing issue with plugins not working like emoji's, shoutbox, and so on. And words of advice on that?

It is a bit different from the navigation features that are on top, because it actually changes the layout of the site.

There is already pagination customization feature in the use profile. I think that is perhaps a better place for it.

Having a shortcut like that on the home page seem pretty nifty, but right now it is very hard to discover. If we group a few features in the widget on the bottom right and made it a bit more discoverable, that could also work well.

But I would recommend against putting anything like that in the nav bar on top.

Hey all, I've resolved this issue as of Lavender v0.2.8 - let me know if you still experience it. Make sure your full width categories have the class col-lg-12

@Aziroshin said:

NodeBB Category Info (disabled)

I would uninstall this completely to make sure, restart clear cache and try again. That plugin is deprecated I think since post previews can be set from core now.

Is the forum public can we take a look?

@agarcia17 I've omitted something the empty guide div should be added before the others with class category-item.

@baris
Managed to find the following line

<div class="<!-- IF categories.class -->{categories.class}<!-- ELSE -->col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12<!-- ENDIF categories.class --> category-item" data-cid="{categories.cid}" data-numRecentReplies="{categories.numRecentReplies}">

in

./node_modules/nodebb-theme-lavender/templates/home.tpl

So I proceed to change it to

<div class="<!-- IF categories.class -->{categories.class}<!-- ELSE -->col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12<!-- ENDIF categories.class --> category-item category-class-{categories.cid}" data-cid="{categories.cid}" data-numRecentReplies="{categories.numRecentReplies}">

?

Am I blind or is there no way to just have an MOTD widget for Lavender?

I essentially just want to use the shoutbox plugin at the top of the category listing page but don't see a widget area for MOTD anymore. Is that only with Vanilla?

@psychobunny Brilliant, works. Now for the actual theme changing part. 😆
