@bentael said in away, busy invisible etc. UserStates:

away - when user is online but no activity for an X amount of time.
busy - set by user
invisible - set by user

etc.

Currently, it seems that the 'away' state is not auto-enabled when user has no activity for a certain amount of time :

• If it is really the case, wouldn't be greater like this ? (in fact, I need this functionality but don't see it working... Found no code about this in nodebb source code).
• If it is not the case, what is the time amount for status change to 'away' ? Can it be changed ?

@administrators : Add on... Would it be possible to have the following operating mode for statuses (more realtime, with socket.io, like smart messaging apps) ? When a user is previously logged in nodebb :

• If he makes actions on nodebb (open a page, posting, typing, scrolling...) and if he is not in 'dnd' or 'invisible' or already 'online' mode, auto-set him in 'online' status and update status on all connected clients (update widgets etc...).
• If he doesn't do anything for a while and if he is not in 'dnd' or 'invisible' or already 'away' mode, auto-set him in 'away' status and update status on all connected clients.
• If socket connexion is lost, auto-set him in 'offline' status and update status on all connected clients.
• If socket connexion is reconnected, auto-set him in its previous status and update it on all connected clients.

etc...

In short, knowing in a more realtime status of the users would be a big plus for nodebb. I know it can be ressources consuming but there may be a trick with socket.io (?).

Another thing : online-cutoff time seems too restrictive for me. If a user is inactive more than this time, he should go into 'away' state but he could always receive notifications because he is not offline. There could be a different time to cut notifications...

(sorry for this long post ! Hope I'm clear ; I'm french... )

@julian The problem is not here. I see the page but I want to change its template.

To explain more :

• I create a custom page /accueil with the custom-pages plugin which seems to auto-generate accueil.tpl.
• I cannot change accueil.tpl without changing this custom-pages module (?). No success playing in my own theme or from another plugin.

I will also need to change the onlineusers.tpl template from widget-essentials and I think I will have the same problem (?).

I tried to override custom-page.tpl (and also accueil.tpl generated by custom-pages) with a plugin but... no success...
I think I'm going to fork the module (fork modules to change templates : bof bof... )

@MJ I tried it but without success (tried to create a diff for custom-page.tpl and also for my already created custom page accueil.tpl ; it doesn't work even after rebuild). I'm on the latest nodebb version.

Sorry for necromancy but I have exactly the same problem as @shri to change sidebar bootstrap properties...

With the latest nodebb version, do I need to do the same hack modifying directly the widget.js code ?

Hello !

I need to change some bootstrap classes in custom-page.tpl (to change sidebar dynamical width for example as I have already done it in my own theme templates files). I can do it directly in nodebb-plugin-custom-pages/templates/custom-page.tpl but it will be replaced on each package upgrade... Not great !

Is there another way to do it without this problem ?

Thanks in advance !

Hello !

On this forum (and also mine...), there is no pagination-block visible when we are on /recent or /popular for example.

Is there a simple way to make it working on my forum ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks ! I had tried this before but something else was wrong.

Now, everything is ok !!! Thanks again !

I changed my function to get children in data.templateValues.categories :

library.onRenderHeader = function (data, callback) {
    // Get all the visible categories.
    Categories.getCategoriesByPrivilege('categories:cid', data.req.uid, 'find', function (err, categories) {
            if (err) {
               return callback(err, data);
            }
            categories=Categories.getTree(categories);
            // Send the data for use by template...
            data.templateValues.categories = categories;
            console.log(categories);            
            callback(null, data);
    });
};

With this, the console.log(categories); command shows that children are populated on server :

    cid: 39,

    parent: undefined },
  { bgColor: '#A16946',
    cid: 11,
    class: 'col-md-3 col-xs-6',
    color: '#fff',
    (cutted here to be short...)

but no success on display on client (no children in dropdowns...).

????

Precision :

/api shows categories populated with children only when on categories page... When I put a console.log(categoryData); in my library.onRenderHeader last code, it shows categories without children... The problem seems to come from here. But how can I get children ?
