XF 2.1 Prefixes for nodes?

[djbaxter]

Is there a way to use certain thread prefixes (e.g., NEW) for nodes?

 

[Paul B]

Thread prefixes can only be applied to threads.

 

[djbaxter]

Yes, understood. I meant to ask whether there was a way to do something similar for nodes.

 

[Paul B]

It would require custom development.

I guess maybe the next best thing is to make use of the description? There you can place html, so you could place a prefix box NEW?

 

[djbaxter]

Thank you. I'll play with that.

Alternatively a "new" emoji? But it's hard to detect.

Or... FontAwesome?

Yeah, I had that idea, too. But I was not sure if you can place FA icons there or not. For the description it says specifically that you can enter html, so you can put it there (see my suggestion above), but wasn't sure about node names. If one can place them there aswell, the best option probably.

How did you insert the emoji into the node title?

Copy the emoji from the link above and paste it.

Any way to change the color?

 

[sbj]

Unless one can place html in the title (I don't think it is possible but haven't tried), you can't change the color of it.

You can only change the color of the whole title, you can't target only the emoji. Which is why I suggested the description box, there you can make it look like you want.

 

[djbaxter]

OK. Thanks.

If you just want it only in the forum list something like this may be enough

.node--id{id} .node-title:before {
    content: "New";
    color: #fff;
    background: #f2930d;
    padding: 0px 4px;
    border-radius:4px;
}

Replace {id} with the node id

 

[sbj]

Ahhh, one can write text in css. That is nice to know.

 

[djbaxter]

Thanks - I'll give that a shot after I eat something.

 

[djbaxter]

That's in extra.less -> yes

Needed to remove the {} around thread id like this:

.node--id32101

Yes
