My nodebb website doesnt look like this one. (no boxes along top showing recent posts etc)

I figured my default install Theme must not be Harmony (which is this one right?)

I went to ACP > Themes and I was surprised to see both Harmony and Persona listed as 'the default' and the forum is supposedly on Harmony already. So why dont I get the boxes at the top? Screenshot 2025-02-07 114726.png

@eeeee ah, that's fair, we should change the description for the Persona theme so it no longer says it's the default :flushed:

Anyhow, you'll want to use nodebb-plugin-recent-cards if you want those boxes at the top.

Honestly, default should be whatever is set as default. I am not really sure what the issue is, but just because NodeBB decides that a certain theme is the default on installation does not equate to what the admin selected default is. It's not really that hard to show what the CURRENT default theme selected by the admin is.. or it should not be as scores of other scripts are able to do that. :wink:

Default mobile view for my site is miserable, just shows category headings, no posts. Is there an easy way I can set it to show some recent activity without installing anything?

[-] baris@community.nodebb.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

/admin/plugins/harmony for the defaults and the users can change their settings at /user//theme

[-] eeeee@community.nodebb.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

@Astro-What , no in this context default is what you get on install, until its changed to something else.

But I want some posts showing on mobile, which Im not getting at the moment. My homepage is just list of categories

If you look at Sudonix for example, it shows posts on homepage.

I have to tell @phenomlab that apart from that plus, Sudonix doesnt work well on mobile (if you dont have dark mode enabled.) I did try and post about that on Sudonix today but couldnt even complete the post as it wouldnt let me select a category from the layers of transparent menus!

@eeeee You should reload your browser when on Sudonix. There have been a number of changes to themes that will cause this. It works fine for me and everyone else :)

ok, working now @phenomlab . Which theme do you use on Sudonix? Your homepage has recent posts which is what I want to show too. I have enabled 'Teasers' but still my home page is mostly the categories, albeit with small teasers with it now

It's a custom theme I created - see below

>Your homepage has recent posts which is what I want to show too.

In your instance, go to /admin/settings/general and set the default page you'd like - in my case, I use "Recent", but each user is free to set their own

You can turn on topic teasers on harmony theme settings. That will show the posts

[-] eeeee@community.nodebb.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

@baris thanks, where is the toggle to turn that on? When I go ACP>appearance>themes there are no options?
