[nodebb-theme-lavender] Lavender Theme for NodeBB

In the Recent Posts widget, it would be better, I think, to display user1_replied_to_post_title instead of displaying the entire post, images included. And in the Recent Topics widget, user2_posted_topic_title

That should reduce the vertical space taken up by the sidebar.

an option o disable the re-arrange animation would be sweet. as cool as it is.

@julian said:

"words" is difficult, after all, what is a word, and how can we arbitrarily limit by word count?

"中国人" is considered three words in Chinese, whereas "Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz" is considered one word in German.

We go by "height", and we do have a max of 200px per paragraph, although we should probably apply the 200px to the entire post block instead, since code blocks are exempt, and can span large heights on the Lavender theme.

@julian
you can just split the text after X characters without breaking word, regardless of its lenght (if total lenght is > len + 20% break the word too because it's too long)

@fiag hmm lavender is a default theme... thats odd..

If you're having trouble npm installing this theme, you can just cd node_modules and git clone https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-lavender.git

You will get the latest development version, which may not be suitable for live environment, but at least it will work

I would try npm installing again, you may have just tried downloading on a bad time

[fiag]

@psychobunny Thanks a lot.The .tgz file from npm was really corrupted. I can use git checkout tags/v0.0.68 to get the suitable version.

The masonry on landscape iPad is looking interesting. I know it's because they won't overlap, but you know. Is their a better way to handle it?

I'm search for a nice theme and tested some...

Lavender looks nice, but why some topic options (found in vanilla theme like topic notifications, topic voting and quote icon)?
It seems themes doesn't support all the NodeBB (basic?) features?

Updating this theme to bootstrap5 for nodebb 3.x as well.
