Best themed active nodebb board?
-
I want to see some of the active NodeBB forums around with nice themes since that is part of what this forum software is best known for and every forum I can find just uses the default! What active forums have pretty skins? Please dont post your own.
-
@Productofsums define pretty.
On my site we use the same layout as here, just a bit textured and a different skin applied. This might be boring, but readability and accessibility should be your number 1 concern then creating a forum.Yet not a single user complained about the design, actually they even rate it is a huge improvement.

@Productofsums if you ask me I would definitely say http://pichalite.com using
nodebb-theme-material

I agree with this, I'd love to know how the categories are listed like that down the side!

@Danny-McWilliams apparently it is the home builder plugin or something. Drag n drop

I didn't think it'd be that simple, i'll try toying around with custom-homepage tomorrow
edit: I would, but it's not working with 0.8.2. Oh well. -

Edit: can I change the homepage to show posts? -
@Mawi-Raura Yup Google's material design
You can install it from the ACP -> Plugins page or install it manually using
npm i nodebb-theme-materialYou can use the plugin used in this community with the material theme.
-
@Mawi-Raura It may seem faster as it's just a demo site for the theme and not an active community. All the posts are made by the RSS plugin.
-
@pichalite sure. How can I enable thumbnails for category view like
-
@Mawi-Raura You will have to modify the template and some css. Thumbnails are hidden on mobile in the theme.
In the future I may add it as an option in the ACP theme page to enable/disable thumbnails on mobile.
Just so you know... the theme has a settings page in the ACP to change some options like displaying the menu in the header (similar to this community) instead of clicking on the menu icon... etc.
-
@pichalite I have little css knowledge. Could you show me where to change what code?
-
@Mawi-Raura https://github.com/pichalite/nodebb-theme-material/blob/master/templates/partials/topics_list.tpl#L15 remove the class "hidden-xs" on this line. This will make it display on mobile. You may have to resize the thumbnail.
-
@pichalite Thanks. about the new size, is it in pixels, can I use the same size in the default theme?
-
@Mawi-Raura Yes it is in pixels.

Exodo theme is public on our github
Nodebb theme exodo, branch 2.0
Is a bit difficult to fit on another community cause you need modified widgets and some exodo tweaks but all is on our github
Is only compatible with nodebb 0.7.x
Been working on new version but not finished yet -
