Category Banners

[awesomerobot (Kris)]

I’ve added a couple new settings:

@awesomerobot

• Show category logo: enabling this will show the uploaded logo from the category’s settings
• Align text: select left, center, or right text alignment

This is a great component, but since the latest Discourse update I get this error in my console:

TypeError: i is not a function. (In 'i(e,t,r)', 'i' is undefined)

Discourse warns me with this error:

Your site may not work because a theme / component has errors.
Caused by 'Category Banners'.

Hi Ben, the component works on the latest Discourse version.

What is your Discourse version?

[Ben_Sutton]

Strange. I’m using 3.3.0.beta2-dev

Hello,

This is what I want:

This is what I’m getting:

1. extend banner background color 100%
2. remove any extra at the arrows

Any tip anyone can share with me?

[Arkshine]

Hello

In plugin outlet setting, change to below-site-header. That should do what you want!

I PR’d a small fix that should select the right color in the case where a @username is in the description. Before, it was taking the same color as the main text, making the username practically invisible.

FIX: correct color for usernames in the description.

Not exactly.

I want to hide the welcome banner when it is on a category page. Otherwise, when I enable the Welcome Banner to “discovery” instead of “homepage,” I will notice the Welcome Banner and Category Banner simultaneously. Does that make sense?

[jordan-violet]

We have all sorts of odd bugs happening with this component. We cannot seem to nail down that there is no identifiable reason as to when the banner will or will not show up above our categories.

Some will work, some won’t. I’m struggling to even know how to report this because I cannot identify anything different amongst some of our categories.

UPDATE:
My coworker informed me that my understanding of what ‘all’ meant as a target was misinformed.

Carry on.

Did you edit the “About the category” topic of those categories where the banner is missing?

I use plugin Who Online and Two display components are stuck together, how to keep them a reasonable distance apart?

When I set a icon in this category still show me # how fix this? others categories are showing right icon but some not.

[Jagster (Jakke Lehtonen)]

Is this componen treating category lock icons differently than other parts of forum? My actual concern is hiding lock icon but banners are showing when locks are hided everywhere else.

Is there a way to change the background for mentions in the banner? White text is fine in dark mode, but in light mode, mentions in the white text are washed out:

[Moin]

Probably. This was fixed for user @mentions but not for group @mentions.

Links in category banners now show in black

There is still a problem with group mentions and mentioning non-existent users [Screenshot_20240531_091456_Chrome]

[bryce (Bryce Huhtala)]

Thanks @putty and @Moin! I added a fix that should address both the group mention and non-existent user mention colors.

@Discourse

show subcategory

Thanks for that component, any idea why one of my sub category does not show the banner even it has a description? The other sub category do. Thanks. (already cleaned the browser cache…)

Update : it finally worked after one hour, no idea why this delay

@patrickemin

it finally worked after one hour, no idea why this delay

I haven’t investigated in the source, but I found out that if I go to the category settings and save them, then the change is applied immediately.

This component works well with the category tag component but unfortunately is not compatible with the tag icon component. While tag icons function elsewhere on the site, they do not work in the description section. Is there a way to fix this?
