Thanks for the reply. I was able to solve it quickly adding it.

For anyone in the future, hosting nodebb on a windows server, may also have the same problem. This is how I fixed it

<outboundRules>
                <rule name="ForceFileDownload" preCondition="IsXMLorJSON">
                    <match serverVariable="RESPONSE_Content-Disposition" pattern=".*" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" value="attachment; filename={R:0}" />
                </rule>
                <preConditions>
                    <preCondition name="IsXMLorJSON">
                        <add input="{URL}" pattern="\.xml$|\.json$" />
                        <add input="{URL}" pattern="^/assets/uploads/" />
                    </preCondition>
                </preConditions>
            </outboundRules>

My nodebb installation revolves around sharing files such as xml, json etc.

However, when users want to download raw files such as the uploaded xml I supplied. It's not downloading the file, seeing as its being saved as .xml. Rather it's opening the file in the browser.

Is there something I missed? If not, how can I make sure that the supported files can be downloaded rather then open in the users browser?

Ontop of that, when opening the xml in the browser nodebb is making changes to the structure of the xml, causing it to not be correct as it was before offering it as a download

@baris I appreciate that, and quick fix. Thank you again.

Aside from that. I am actually really enjoying nodebb. I am running it alongside plesk, with 4 other websites which run php, no interferenance with anything and runs a dream.

Definitely way easier to use and understand then mybb

@baris That would be cool.

So far, I do have a logo yes. However, if I made the site title empty, but turned on the "show site title" it shows nodebb. However, if I enter a couple spaces for empty space. It shows exactly like the header on this website. No extra text, and no invisible element there to identify its whitespace.

Thanks for your reply.

@julian said in NodeBB Sidebar & Header:

@Drunken-Cheetah Can you show us a screenshot of the widget?

https://gyazo.com/a8fe46502dc965aad8e73499446b7112

The Brand Header only shows up if I have the sites title set to "Show".

Edit: I was able to replicate it, if I entered a blank site title. It is now showing the same way

@baris

Unless I’m using the wrong html setup, when I added my html in there nothing showed up in the header.

@julian

I used my same code I used in the original, and added it to the Brand Header but it doesnt show up at all. I should mention seeing as I am new, to get the actual code required for placement etc. I inspected element of nodebb to get the structure. Would you mind (if possible) you would share how you done it in your brand header?

@julian

Thanks for your fast reply.

I tried both methods. Custom header & widget header. When I use the widget header, the sidebars are not pushed, but the header is placed under the category name.

If i use the custom, the sidebars are pushed but is placed in the correct place where I want it to be shown, as per my image in OP.

Regards

EDIT: I apoligize. I have been using Global Header not Brand Header. I will try brand header now.

I'm new to NodeBB and really enjoying it so far! I’ve previously used the MyBB forum system, but I’m excited to transition to NodeBB.

I attempted to recreate the header from NodeBB.org, and while I managed to get a similar look, it’s causing an issue with my layout—the header seems to push the sidebars down, disrupting the overall appearance.

Is there a guide or any tips on setting up the header to look like this forum's layout? I really like its design, but I can’t seem to prevent the sidebars from shifting down. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is nodebb sidebar and header

Here is what happens when I replicate it (I have removed my logo for trust reasons)

I would like to setup my header & sidebar the same way as nodebb as it's professional, and looks great.

Regards.
