Is it possible to end topic title with ...? So it doesn't continue into a second line or more.

Anyone try this theme?

[thesimon]

The menu button does not work (Chrome 43.0.2357.124 m)

[pichalite]

@thesimon It's actually an issue with NodeBB JS minification. Refresh the page and the button will work.

Hello !

First of all, i'm really impressed by what things you made so far. Do you still work on this?
I really like the idea of material design, but this theme is kind of unfinished.

[pichalite]

@leksar What do you think is unfinished?

[julian]

Hey @pichalite, in one of our installs, clicking the sidebar doesn't open anything -- not sure if that was in progress or not. No errors in console, though.

[pichalite]

@julian Do you have a url so I can check it? Works fine on the demo site. The demo site is running the version from npm.

[julian]

Sent it to you via PM.

[shri]

Have seen this on our test install also. Do not have it active, but if you need another reference / test site, let me know.

[julian]

@shri Thanks for the offer! @pichalite and I fixed it today.

For others with this "bug":

• Run ./nodebb reset -p nodebb-theme-material
• Restart NodeBB

Bug only occurs if you install the theme via admin panel and click "activate" in the Plugins page, instead of enabling the theme in the "Themes" page. NodeBB has been patched so this shouldn't accidentally happen anymore.

Here are the things I would have changed:

• Navbar
  Movile View is ok in general, except for this
  
  I don't know is the idea to place Register/Login buttons on navbar is good, but that's how it looks on my forum.
  
  The next thing about Navbar is that i can't see the reasons to use the same navbar for wide screens, where we can have a logo, a name and buttons without any problems. Why to hide so usefull buttons, like "recent" and logo-button? Illogically.
  The fixation slider is works very weird for me. With my resolution 1680x1050 I have a lot of space for menu in left, but that's what happens when i use the fixation
  
  
  It changes the page width. The strange thing is what it doesn't change width with lower resolution.

• Categories
  Each category has its classes ("col-md-2 col-xs-6" for example") for proper placement on different devices, but this theme is ignoring it. I can't get 6 in a row categories for wide screens and 2 in a row for mobile devices, like this
  
  even google using it
  
  compare it with
  

• Appearance
  Problem with cyrillic-font in Firefox browser
  Do not support custom topic-images.
  No avatars in mobile version.
  Buttons are placed wrong
  

That's what I remembered so far. I will add a new post if I'll remember some more.
