FKB Pro - Social theme

[Don]

FKB Pro is a highly modified, detailed, professional social theme, but still user-friendly.

This theme is quite sensitive and maybe not well compatible with other theme components or plugins you use! Please test it before use. These usually need some css modification. If you have any issue please report and will fix it.

---

Layout

On desktop: Three column layout.

Sidebar ready

---

On mobile:

---

Rounded corners

FKB Pro has highly rounded corners everywhere by default, but I know not everyone likes it so I added some Theme Settings to make it easier to customize it.

If you don’t like rounded corners… set these value to 0.

2. Excerpt (click goes to the OP)

With iPad it is quite… wide. I mean, really wide

That is because of there is no sidebar, I guess. Any ideas why?

[darkpixlz]

I love it!

My only suggestion is to make the hamburger menu wider and then add padding

[Jagster (Jakke Lehtonen)]

Another small one:

• my forum doesn’t use solved-plugin
• we don’t use badges

You know better how I hide those two

Otherwise… this theme looks really promising on desktops and mobiles (tablets are little bit problematic)

BTW — there is small layout issue with versatile banner. It pushes content below it a little bit too much to left.

[Don]

Hello,

I pushed a fix to tablet view. Please update the theme.

[Jagster (Jakke Lehtonen)]

That was fast.

Much better, thanks. I got a new default theme…

[Don]

Thanks Yep, I think this is default. The first item is in focus when you open menu.

[darkpixlz]

Yeah, I was just sugesting that there’s a bit of space inbetween them, besides that the theme looks good for how much I hate facebook and meta haha

[Don]

Thanks I pushed a fix for this.

I’ve added two theme settings.

@Jagster

there is small layout issue with versatile banner

I will check this.

[Jagster (Jakke Lehtonen)]

I must be pain in the tender places

There is one issue. Not for me, but for my top 5 contributers it is matter of life and dead — well, that was perhaps too much but they really want this.

Category settings:

It normally shows something like this (on iPad, but you understand what I’m meaning)

Your layout breaks if there is a description or name of category is longer than few characters:

Disabling show subcategory list above… solves out this, of course.

But I’m moving toward using only top-level categories and heavily relying on tags anyway (and then your theme is actually quite suitable in many ways) — so if fixing that would take a little bit too much work and/or you have something more important to do, I’m totally ok if you work with this later.

[Don]

Hello, I’ve added a fix for Discourse Reactions.
You can install it as a theme component.

[Don]

Thanks for the report @Jagster. I have pushed a fix for this issue. FIX: Topic list category layout by VaperinaDEV · Pull Request #3 · VaperinaDEV/fkb-pro-theme · GitHub

very cool theme. pls ad more post for test.

[Don]

Thanks I updated the OP with the theme creator preview link so now you can try it on Discourse Theme Creator too.

[png (Portable Network Graphics)]

Awesome theme! If I can figure out a way to get a freaking domain and an email server ill def use this theme.

[Don]

Hello,

I’ve added a new feature Now you can add custom sidebar content for visitors.

FEATURE: Custom sidebar content for Visitor

[tmn (Tran Nhat)]

thank for updated this theme.

It would be so great if you develope this theme like blog (forget facebook theme )

suggestion from https://www.newsbreak.com/

[Jagster (Jakke Lehtonen)]

I disagree

Blogish needs are different than trying to offer more SoMe-style for those who thinks Faceboom/insta/etc are the best possible UX/UI-experience.

So — out there could be a theme that looks a bit more like blog (what ever that now is meaning…). But this is just fine as it is now.

(WordPress is much more superior as blog-platform than Discourse; those are two totally different tools for different purposes…)

[Paracelsus]

Hi, great theme!

The theme preview in our forum doesn’t show with 3 columns, only a one-column layout. I suspect some css problem, but still trying to figure it out.

2 questions:

• Is it possible to have fixed width columns upon a minimum screen width (or several, using for instance media css rules) on desktop-mode? The flexible width gives me a bit of headaches in very large monitors (24 or 27’') and the “dead space” between the three columns is a bit awkward
• Is the theme compatible with the component for right side blocks Right Sidebar Blocks - theme-component - Discourse Meta? If so, it makes the right column more useful/feature rich.
