nodebb-theme-material v2.0 published

v2.7.3 published

• Fixed category watching

exciting update coming soon.

v2.8.1 published.

• New skin option in theme's ACP page (default & dark skins available now).

• Theme ACP settings page modified to use NodeBB's recommended settings (how it's saved in DB).

• Login and Register pages simplified.

You can check out the dark skin at https://pichalite.com

These are not bootswatch skins so, no additional CSS added. Skins are managed by extracting colors into less variables and different values set to these variables based on skin selection. As most of the color extraction is already done adding new skin options will be easy now.

As the theme's ACP settings page is changed to save settings in a different format, you will have to re-enable any options you have set before upgrade (menu in header.. etc).

As mentioned, skins option is set by modifying a less variable in the theme's less file under node_modules folder, this setting will be lost during future theme upgrades. Although the setting is saved in the database, NodeBB currently does not have a hook to be called by the theme to set the skin before less is parsed to css.

Sent a PR to NodeBB to add a hook. If accepted this should be available in the next NodeBB release.

Looks good! How does it look when there are subcategories?

[pichalite]

@teh_g you can choose a couple of options in the theme's ACP page for subcategories

@pichalite great work! Really good evolution of the theme. Looks awesome.

[teh_g]

@pichalite This looks awesome. I will have to see what people think on my forum. Making theme changes is scary!

Now if only themes could be chosen by the user...

I figured. I will switch over during a maintenance one of these days and see how people like it. I know I can't wait to get it going on my forum.

v2.8.2 published.

• Modal windows color changes for dark theme
• Tags page style changes
• Fixed issue with autocomplete dropdown placement in composer

[pichalite]

If anyone comes up with a different color scheme for the theme, let me know. I can add that as a skin option.

[pichalite]

v2.8.11 published with support for NodeBB v1.1.1

Skin option selection in ACP should persist with theme upgrades going forward (requires NodeBB v1.1.1 or later).

I wish I could get my Gmail to look this good.

Any tips for a vertical menu as a side bar?

??

[Tebo]

@pichalite Something like

[pichalite]

@Tebo remove these 3 lines to remove icon text

https://github.com/pichalite/nodebb-theme-material/blob/master/templates/partials/menu.tpl#L243-L245

adjust the width of the sidebar here...

https://github.com/pichalite/nodebb-theme-material/blob/master/less/sidebar.less#L38

[Tebo]

@pichalite I know there's an optional sidebar by default that you can toggle to a pinned state, but the header bar is still there. After thinking about it, it's pretty obvious "rotating" the header 90 degrees would be pretty involved considering all the elements it contains. I'll just have to rebuild it.

How fix this bug?

Is bugged also the logo.

[pichalite]

@Master-Antonio where did that "SUBSCRIBE" and "ORDINA PER" come from... plugins?

[Master-Antonio]

@pichalite Ordina per is default Order by.
I installed only nodebb-plugin-category-sort-by-votes that add only the voice "Più Votati" = "Most votes"

Subscribe is nodebb-plugin-category-notifications ( official plugin of nodebb ) ...

Update : nodebb-plugin-category-sort-by-votes cause the bug. @pichalite

[pichalite]

@Master-Antonio contact the author of that plugin...
