@baris just launched hydrus, a forum for creatives

@Nicolas Got it all figured out in the end, thanks for your help! Now I have user covers working

Nah, it's just that none of the guide or manuals work. I have to figure it all out by myself.

It's also quite some change from eg. Wordpress, where you have a 1-click or 3–minute web launcher. I'm very unfamiliar with having to install 5–6 types of new software on my laptop just in order to set up a web–only forum. Doesn't seem to be necessary, really.

You seem to be taking a very negative stance on NodeBB based on your inability to install it. Most (infact, near all) people on this board have managed to install NodeBB perfectly fine.

Also, cut the developers (and us) some slack. NodeBB is free, open source software, and you come to the forums acting like you're entitled to immediate help. If you want to get it to work, please provide error logs where they appear, else we can't help. Please reconsider your attitude, and provide some error logs. Once you've got those things down, we can help you fix your problem(s) in regards to installing NodeBB.

You're looking at an older version of Majestic. It's very outdated now, but you can purchase newer versions on the forum.

v5: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4017/majestic-5

In your NodeBB directory, there should be a node_modules folder. Inside there, you'll want to find the folder of the theme you're using. So, for example, if you're using lavender, you'll want to search for nodebb-theme-lavender (it'll be nodebb-theme-themename). Inside there is a templates directory, which should allow you to edit some parts of the theme.

To edit the composer, go to your NodeBB root, and then public/templates. Copy the composer.tpl file into your nodebb-theme-lavender directory, edit it, and then reload your forum. That should do the trick.

I also feel like you should wait 0.5 of a second before displaying the card, in case the user didn't mean to hover over it (like me). It can get a little annoying sometimes.

Great work, though!

@reid you are probably better off switching to a supported theme.

i know! but i'd rather not, heh. i guess i'll just keep hacking away at the theme and core if i can't update

@julian said:

Hi there @reid, which theme are you using? It looks like @trevor's theme, so you may want to talk to him about it...

indeed it is! i've tried contacting him multiple times but he seems disinterested in NodeBB/very irresponsive

was unsure of where to post this, so I'm posting it in general discussion.
my forum is currently running version 0.6 due to theme compatibility issues. i'd like to have it up to 1.0 or so by the time it comes out, and i was wondering how much it'd cost to have the theme upgraded. my forum can be found here.

thanks!

@pichalite said:

@reid I think it's better to pay to get the theme compatible and upgrade NodeBB.

I agree! I'm just not sure how much it'd cost as the theme is quite complex (a modified version of Majestic) and I haven't got all too much money to spend right now.

Just what I was looking for! The only issue is, my forum is still running on 0.6 due to theme compatibility issues. Is there any chance you could make it compatible? I'm willing to pay.

Maybe add .tooltip { display: none !important; } to your custom CSS (in the admin panel)?
