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!

@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.

@pitaj that's great, I'll wait for the branch fix, thanks again for the help guys.

@pitaj said in Upgrade to 1.16.2 issue:

@brophy what command are you using to upgrade? Try git pull

I've tried that it returns Already up-to-date.

I normally upgrade using the commands here:

When I check /install/package.json the version is "1.16.1" but my other forum its "1.16.2"

Looking on github on the v1.16.x branch, the latest commit in the install folder is nodebb-misty chore: incrementing version number - v1.16.1

Not sure if there is an issue there?

Do you recommend I checkout the tag instead of the branch?

Hi,

I've been trying to upgrade one of my forums to 1.16.2 from 1.16.1 as I've always done (and already done on a separate forum a few weeks ago and is working) but it seems to be stuck at 1.16.1 on origin/v1.16.x on the forum I'm trying to upgrade.

Is there a way I can fix this?

Git status:

On branch v1.16.x
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/v1.16.x'.
nothing to commit, working directory clean

Try using this one instead (it works for me on latest NodeBB)
