Theme updated for NodeBB v1.4.4

Not sure if I asked before, but it is possible to add the Bootswatch skin support? My users love the different skins and the ability to pick dark or light themes on their own.

@teh_g It is my understanding that @pichalite elects not to add skin support for aesthetic reasons

pichalite

@teh_g Bootswatch skins only workout 100% when you use bootstrap as is. Make a small modification to bootstrap styles or colors and most skins look like crap. I don't want to deal with all the issues that bootswatch skins bring. There is no seamless integration. That's why I don't add bootswatch skins in my themes.

If you want skin support on the theme, it's not too hard to fork it to add them. Just few lines of code to add it in and deal with the other styling issues yourself.

That makes sense. I actually tried just switching to your theme since I personally love it, but a bunch of my users were up in arms about it not being dark. Pesky needy users!

@teh_g I may add a dark skin option later. Can't promise a timeline but

pichalite

Theme updated with dark skin support. Admin's can set a skin from the theme's ACP settings page for all users and users can also set their skin preference in their settings page.

Is it possible to create plugins for this theme?
Would be cool to see a ticker plugin to stream any new/recent posts instead of a large recent cards plugin like that of the persona theme.

This would keep the slick style and fit nicely under the navbar.

pichalite

@liberaltech yes you can.

@teh_g

Thanks for the update! How hard is it to add new skins? I'd love to add more color options in there.

pichalite

@teh_g shouldn't be hard. Just check the repo on how it's done for the dark skin.

AOKP

Theme won't refresh after an edit has been done to a post.

pichalite

@AOKP get latest

Another thing, a user complained about the automatically cut of URLs, they display like:
https://SUPERLONGLINK...

pichalite

@AOKP post any issues on the theme's github repo. This is not an issue tracker.

AOKP

@pichalite I know, just thought this was intentionally.

Leonardo Galani

Is there a way to make it work with the recent card plugin? somehow.. it stopped working...

Really Cool!
