Hi, while you're welcome to post here, this is not a general forum for Node. It's the community forum for NodeBB, a Node.js based forum software.
You'll probably have better luck with your question on StackOverflow or Reddit.
Re: @Tanner, who said via IRC:
<Paaltomo> wow
<Paaltomo> I can't believe it
<Paaltomo> but I can't override this css for the life of me
<Paaltomo> #fade-out
<Paaltomo> or .fade-out w/e
<Paaltomo> why the hell are you so difficult
<Paaltomo> and why do none of my changes stick in /public/templates?
<Paaltomo> after a restart?
No, you can't modify CSS in /public/templates
, as the .tpl
files in each theme are re-read and copied into /public/templates
every time NodeBB restarts -- any changes made to /public/templates
will be overwritten!.
You'll want to edit the .tpl
files in nodebb-theme-vanilla or nodebb-theme-lavender instead.
Additionally, Lavender doesn't contain all of the templates, as it is a child-theme of Vanilla, so modifying some of the templates in vanilla will mean they will also show in Lavender.
Your best bet is still just forking a theme and making your own changes. Directly modifying the files is not recommended
@julian Thanks for the response
