iPad and iPhone, the Hub and Safari: all I see is the ghost. No such errors I can find.

[NateDhaliwal]

It works fine on Theme Creator .

[Jagster (Jakke Lehtonen)]

And for me it doesn’t work with default theme where is only this component in use Sure, I can try disable plugins too via safe mode.

About theme creator I don’t know anything.

edit

And using safe mode all plugins disabled broke my forum. Sometimes I’m a bit tired for all of this… Well, must start solving out what the heck is acting badly this time.

[Don]

Hey @Jagster, I checked on iPad and it works for me. I registered to your forum to check what is happening. Can you please enable the theme component?

[Jagster (Jakke Lehtonen)]

It’s enabled now for every themes.

Thanks.

[Lilly]

works fine here. very nice Don

I really like this. thank you for sharing

desktop

mobile

and yes it goes away as soon as a reply appears, without a refresh

[Don]

Thanks, I’ve merged a fix, please update the component.

[Jagster (Jakke Lehtonen)]

Splendeed indeed

May I ask what did you find? I propably don’t understand, but is there some hiding potential issues I shoud know?

[Don]

It was a compatibility issue with older Discourse versions. Your site is on this Commits · discourse/discourse · GitHub commit. And there was an update with i18n import paths later here DEV: Consolidate i18n import paths (#29804) · discourse/discourse@32665cf · GitHub so the text not appears because I used the new way.

[Jagster (Jakke Lehtonen)]

Off topic already, but that wasn’t too old setup… few days. Not funny for you code gurus

[Don]

That’s ok I just changed everything on my site and did it automatically here as well, but I didn’t have to change it because it works great now with all versions. Thanks for the report

[patrickemin]

Great component, thanks !

[KhoiUSA]

Very cool, I’ve used quite a few theme components from Don without a problem and this component will certainly be a perfect fit for my site.

Will share the results once I install it.

Edit: Here is the final result! Customized the background and colors a bit, turned out great.

[patrickemin]

That would be nice to be able to exclude some categories.

[Lilly]

@patrickemin

exclude some categories.

easy to do. in common - css of a theme or another component:

.category-[CATEGORY_SLUG] .first-reply-statement {
    display: none;
}

for multiple categories, ie::

$categories: 'vip', 'site-feedback', 'staff';

@each $category in $categories {
  .category-#{$category} .first-reply-statement {
    display: none;
  }
}

[Jagster (Jakke Lehtonen)]

Should sub-categories obey that too

[Lilly]

yes, just use the slug, preceded by the parent category:

parent-category-name-subcategry-name { etc...

[Don]

Great Idea

Lilly’s CSS is also a great solution if you just want to hide it, but if you want it not to be rendered, I added a new setting to the top of the Theme Settings.

[patrickemin]

Thanks soooo much !
