Introducing the NodeBB 0.7.0 Persona preview

[chas]

Just an opinion,
me no likey forum home view, i kind of like the fact that lavender uses the whole page, rather than a centered list of all the forums. at first glance the right panel looks as though it shows the latest conversations, then later realize its color-coded to each forum. i like the conversation view inside a thread though and the transparent composer (perhaps could be made a bit taller). Font on the composer blurs when scrolling down

Bitchin!

When can we kind of expect this to be ready for usage?

We are working hard on our Wordpress website and would love to incorporate this theme on our forum when we go live in a week or so.

Great job guys!

Get rid of the black box with this custom CSS. Just set it in the admin panel.

#content {
    margin-top: 40px;
}

#content div.jumbotron:nth-of-type(1) {
    display: none;
}

So i've just installed the theme on our forum. Love how it ALREADY works!

Now I'm looking for a way to get custom logo's / icons for every forum. It'd be appreciated if there would be a way to use your own .svg's (vector) instead of having to use font awesome.

This would add a lot more power to the nodeBB forum and it's essential for our forum.

Would this be possible for you guys to integrate?

Try this, http://fontcustom.com/

Take your svg's and create a font out of it, and then override fontawesome I guess? There's probably more than one way of doing this, but definitely won't have to edit anything in core to do it, just the theme

[julian]

Ideally I'd love to remove fontawesome as a dep, but I think we're trying to make it theme-specific? That would be best

[remcokatz]

@psychobunny I've tried to use that website indeed.

Would you be so kind to explain a bit more when it comes to the custom css?
I've added the link that it gives me but it doesn't pull the icon yet.

That makes sense

Something else:

I can't seem to remove custom images from pre-existing groups that I had before installing this theme. It is also not working to add custom images to new groups.
It just seems to ignore the image.

Having my own custom svg icons would of course solve this but it might also be good to fix this if more people experience this problem.

This is pretty much a very quick feedback after browsing this forum with the NEW theme (capslock'ed because I like this new look).

1. Need better font styling for the quote (and spoiler too), maybe? I noticed the bigger font size. Sorry no suggestion for code (I am in hurry).
2. Might need lightbox to display the picture embedded in the thread, if I am not alone feeling that opening the image on a new tab after clicking that image feels tad bit annoying.

All in all, I truly like this theme. Sexier, and it looks like candies to my eyes.

But don't worry, the new widget system will be much, much, more awesome And if we don't get it out in time for 0.7x we will make this theme backwards compatible with the current system

No, break it please
Force all devs to use websockets

I'm so nyaked serious
(one more smile to emphasize the seriousness xD)

Could you, please.. You know... https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/issues/

This looks pretty sick, guys! Great work!

There is so much clarity to the front page than ever before. This looks ready!

[a_5mith]

On mobile. Half way down this page:
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4078/updating-refresh-embedly-plugin-on-page-display

The reply and quote overlap the rep.

Also the themes borderline unusable on mobile. The notification bar vanishes if you click a notification link without closing the nav bar first. So you end up with a large white space where nav was. Then text off to the side.

Looks great! I cant wait until it is stable so we can upgrade our community forum.

[somevelda]

Can't wait to install this.

Hi,

In first variant buttons and profile image use 100% width of parent block

Second:
Buttons have constant width similar to photo width 128px

Good stuff. Should definitely close each time you press a menu option automatically though.

I love coming in every few weeks and seeing what changes are unfolding at NodeBB. This update looks fantastic and I'm happy for you guys with how much the community has grown since my first post.

A+++ now all I need is a f'n project so I can use NodeBB

Pages are too wide on mobile. You can scroll right about 50px. Also, the upvote/down vote icons overlap the reply and quote buttons.

This seems resolved now (check this page?)... it may be certain pages, so if you do find it again, let us know which url.

[PitaJ]

@julian not fixed.
