You could do some CSS based overrides.

This is something I use in my custom css on the admin panel, it looks to see if you are either in a category or topic of a certain category, in this instance the "Red vs Blue Discussion" category (but using the slug)

body[class*=page-category-red-vs-blue-discussion], body[class*=page-topic-category-red-vs-blue-discussion] {
    background-image: url(/assets/uploads/system/rvb-bg.jpg) !important;
    .navbar-default {
        border-bottom: 3px #dd0000 solid;
        border-image: linear-gradient(to right, red, blue);
        border-image-slice: 1;
    }
    .btn-primary, .btn-info {
        color: #fff;
        background-color: #dd0000;
        border-color: #dd1111;
    }
    .btn-primary:hover {
        color: #fff;
        background-color: #bb0000;
        border-color: #bb1111;
    }
    .btn-info.active, .btn-info.focus, .btn-info:active, .btn-info:focus, .btn-info:hover, .open > .dropdown-toggle.btn-info {
        color: #fff;
        background-color: #bb0000;
        border-color: #bb1111;
    }
    .navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a, .navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a:focus, .navbar-default .navbar-nav > .active > a:hover {
        color: #000;
        background-color: #bb0000;
    }
    .composer .mobile-navbar {
        background-color: #dd0000;
    }
}

I've recently converted from IPB to NodeBB, although the site is still under development and we didn’t bother with transferring the last 13 years of data, it seems to be a hit with the community due to the speed of it.

Personally I find it easier to manage and update compared to IPB which broke our site with each upgrade and didn't really give much documentation.

Our theme is 'roughly' based on Rockstar's Social Club and I'm currently working on the frontpage in the background to match our old site.

It might look a bit 'empty' but the rest of the forums are hidden until you login.

Keep up the good work.

Also moved my other community to it now!

(using the same custom theme with a few tweaks)

Hi @baris looks like https://saesrpg.uk is missing from the list on the first post

Might have the odd issue but normally get resolved with help on the forum.

Still impressed with how fast it is (compared to IPB which we migrated from)

Would have been running it 2 years this June, averaging the following:

I know we already have a 'subscription' module but other communities relies on donations.

Ideally it would be good if someone could donate via the forum, then on the callback, it creates a topic with the donation details in a category of your choice.

We used to have one on our IPB forum. (https://www.devfuse.com/products/53-donations/)

Would be willing to pay, if someone can make a decent offer.

@yariplus Thank you very much!

Have you tried the 'nodebb-plugin-btn-spoilers' plugin? That's working on my 1.8.2 install.

Thanks for this theme.

I'm now using a modified version of this on https://saesrpg.uk and https://bastage.net

Thank you very much! @Giggiux

I can't wait for this, keep up the good work!

Ah right, I seem to have the opposite on my site, user.postcount shows less than counts.posts

But not to worry, now that I understand the differences.

@baris I noticed that persona theme (which our theme was originally based on) now uses that on the profile page rather than postcount, I thought something had changed.

Some reason that seems to return the correct post count compared to postcount, but the issue on is only on a few of the 8000+ members we have.

Just a quick one, @baris

I've noticed I also display user post count on their post card.

Example:

That uses posts.user.postcount is there an alternative to use, as I don't seem to be able to use posts.users.count.posts?

Also, is there any reason why postcount and counts.posts is now out for sync only some users, is it now decrepated?

@baris Apologies for the delay, found I needed to update my custom theme, was using postcount instead of counts.posts

Hello,

Apologies if it's something that I've overlooked, but is it possible to recount posts for users?

We've got a few members complaining on our forum who seem to have an incorrect post count showing in their profile.

@pitaj Thanks. I'm not in a particular rush for it, so I'll drop a note on GitHub, thank you very much.

@pitaj Thanks for getting back to me. I don't think I explained myself properly.

Is there a way to modify permissions on a category via the API?

Basically, we want to create a group > create two categories (a public "root" category and a subcategory within it that is privately locked to the new group we create)

I know we can create the groups and categories via the API, just not seen anything related to category permissions.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm looking at doing some automation of the creation of "private" categories and modifying their permissions so a newly created group (creating both at the same time) can be given access to the category.

I notice there is a PUT to update a category (https://docs.nodebb.org/api/write/#tag/categories/paths/~1categories~1{cid}/put) but I can't see anything to do with permissions as part of the payload.

Do we have a way of doing this with the v3 API?

@TaLoche @Adam-Cai-0 A fix has been pushed, managed to upgrade last night

@adam-cai-0 Yeah doesn't look like they pushed a fix yet.
