Custom Side Nav Links

davwheat

fab is intended for brand icons rather than generic icons.

You should be able to use fas fa-tag and fas fa-store/fas fa-shopping-basket (I can't see a shop icon on FontAwesome's website?)

davwheat ooo interesting. Didn't know that about the fab vs fas tag.

I think the search is janky on their website sometimes. I see the shop:

shop

And it still didnt work with fas

But I did get a campground one to work so go figure lol

Darkle

MikeJones You are looking for fas fa-store-alt, the Font Awesome website now defaults to FA 6, Flarum currently uses FA 5, don't forget to select it from here to get the correct tags.

MikeJones

Darkle awesome thanks for the tip!

davwheat nice one!
It doesn't seem to make a difference if I select above or below. can this be put under the tags as noted in the screenshot above? That would be great! Thanks for this extension!

Hi,
What does the "is Flarum URL?" toggle button do exactly?

davwheat Hi, I'm not very good with JS, but I was looking around the code to try to understand it and with a bit of help from ChatGPT, I was wondering if this little change would do it (open all external links in new tab/window):
in the file flarum-ext-custom-sidenav-links/js/src/forum
/index.tsx (line 41) we have this code:

        items.add(
          'customLink-' + i,
          <LinkButton external={!link.internal} href={href} rel="noopener noreferrer" icon={link.icon}>
            {link.text}
          </LinkButton>,
          priority
        );

and we could maybe add this target={link.internal ? null : "_blank"} before icon=:

        items.add(
          'customLink-' + i,
          <LinkButton external={!link.internal} href={href} rel="noopener noreferrer" target={link.internal ? null : "_blank"} icon={link.icon}>
            {link.text}
          </LinkButton>,
          priority
        );

would that do it?

I'm running my forum on Flarum Free. I've activated this extension. When I enter a new link and save it, I see the link show up in the extension for a second then go away. I've tried entering a couple of links, deleting them, turning the extension on/off, clearing my cache but nothing allows me to enter a link that shows up.

Darkle

Durtdawber You have to save twice, first in the new link form and then in the link list.

Durtdawber

Darkle When I enter the link in the form then click save link, the button to save changes says "No changes to save". It does not let me save the links I added.

Durtdawber

Darkle Also, if I change the Show Top Spacer and Show Bottom Spacker, then click save settings, It acts like if save the change but when I go back into the Extension, the settings are back to the way they were before I changed them.

Darkle

Durtdawber That's weird, I think you're on Free Flarum, probably best to report it in their discussion as it may require some testing.

I want to hide the following in my sidebar, is there a way to do it?

zaratri

hello, is it possible to use target="_blank" somewhere?

EDIT:

if anyone need it change this part of code in vendor\davwheat\custom-sidenav-links\js\dist\forum.js :

n.add("customLink-"+r,m(u.a,{external:!e.internal,href:o,rel:"noopener noreferrer",icon:e.icon},e.text),c)

in this:

n.add("customLink-"+r,m(u.a,{external:!e.internal,href:o,rel:"noopener noreferrer",target: e.internal ? null : "_blank",icon:e.icon},e.text),c)

Then deactivate and reactivate the plugin, it should work.

Hello, the link on our site has not been clickable for a few days? Is that the case with you too?

However, it can be opened in a new tab
