This is a classic forum inspired theme based off of Lavender that utilizes a more traditional approach to displaying forums without graphics or the pinterest- or metro-style blocks. For those who want a more classic feel to their forums.

Note: Work in progress.

This is a Lavender-based theme that uses a CSS flip method to hide category information on the front page, allowing for a more photo-centric design. For those who want to display photos that take up as much real-estate as possible on the front page without having to sacrifice displaying category info.

Note: Work in progress.

We definitely need a better way to organize all of the plugins and themes in the ACP. Currently and as the list grows the scrolling gets a bit unruly and long at times, and could definitely use some categorization or organization so that it can dually satisfy my OCD and be nice and neat.

My recommendation is to organize them as follows (in no particular order):

• Utilities
• Themes
• Registration
• Media
• Communication
• Other

Having them organized this way, either in the ACP or on the NodeBB site itself, or both, would be hugely beneficial to those sifting through the themes to find what they need. A dropdown with them listed underneath would also suit the list much better in my opinion.

What do you guys think?

I wish to have the ability to transfer files through the chat. /feature request

Maybe you could denote official plugins as ~official~ in some way, like a little tag in the ACP or something, to indicate this.

Just an idea, not sure if I even like it or not.

Ok here's my list:

• Disable all RSS feeds (self-explanatory)
• Form-to-post plugin (fill out a form and have it automatically make a post in a certain category)
• Subforums (if it's possible to have a category not listed in the main forums section and then only accessible via a top-level category)
• XMPP integration with chat (have the protocol be tied to an XMPP server)
• Group chats
• And more...

Will think of more and will add to this list as time goes on.

Will be working on a theme set for you guys in the very near future. Keep up the great work!

I am no fan of threaded discussions as it messes up conversations and almost requires infinite levels in order to make it work properly. I'm in favor of flat threads when it comes to forums.

This is what I have so far, let me know what you think and about anything that I should change.

Even adding a FontAwesome icon would suffice for the time being if that's not possible.

Updated OP with git and npm info. It's published!

Ok version 0.0.12 is here, with the following changes:

• Fixed sidebar positioning
• Added header widget area
• Updated default font to Droid Sans

Here are the new screenshots now that it's got a default background:

@Hưng-Thành-Nguyễn probably just a cache issue. Clear your cache and then see if the same thing happens.

I'm really liking the CSS + Font Awesome badges and how they're turning out. Also like the idea of being able to change them on the fly rather than have them be static content. Great work guys!

I agree, this would be a nice feature to have for the sidebar.

As for the global sidebar problem, you can add a custom homepage using the custom-homepage plugin and set up widgets there instead of using global.

@Gateman It appears that something is already using port 80. Do you have something like cPanel or Plesk installed on this server? If so, something could already be using that port or it could be something else.

Have you tried setting it to the default :4567 and using nginx or apache to reverse proxy to port 80?

I might just write my own theming guide then!

So... do we really need a notification every time someone you follow posts something?

Well, not if we had like a stream page where we could see all that. Then, you could just show a notification that says "New posts from users you follow" and it goes to that stream, showing the full posts from those users. Just an idea, anyway.

I like this idea a lot. More like a 'feed' page a la Twitter would get even better, with a timeline format to boot. Would make it real nice to see posts from people you follow.
