FKB Pro - Social theme

Hello :wave:

Yeah, that’s possible relatively easily with modifying some CSS.

However it depends on what the following meaning exactly:


I assume you forked the theme and as I remember everything what you need to do this in the
scss/desktop/fkb-d-topic-list.scss file. There you will see the .has-sidebar-page class which is the breakpoint in the two separate style. Actually, you have to compare the .list-controls. I’ll can make a PR if you have a forked version…


Hello :wave: Sorry for the late reply. Yeah, that’s possible. But the Highest-Post Excerpts in Topic List plugin is required. I think I’ll built this setting…


:warning: Note: I’ll have to modernize the template to be compatible with the new Glimmer topic list. This process may change things compare the current theme. So if you modify the theme, the new version may will break your changes…

Hi! Love the theme!

I’ve noticed that clicking the “Comment” icon opens up this menu:

Is there a way to have it so clicking the comment icon opens up the topic instead?

Hello :wave:

That’s not possible for now. Is this something what more users want? Because I can modify the theme to works like that if it would be a common thing. I am not sure about this… :thinking:

I think that feature was removed in the glimmer topic list implementation anyway.

Here at Meta, the replies count already takes you to the first post instead of asking whether you want to go to the top or bottom. (I still haven’t gotten used to the fact that clicking “replies” takes me to the opposite)

Thanks for the reply, no i actually prefer to keep the base theme and override any CSS and/or templates if desired (usually minimal template changes) so instead it’s a theme component on top of your branch. This is why i was hoping for a chance to just have a toggle in the settings :wink:

Would it be possible to hide the description for topics with images, but still show it for those without one?

Dear,

I got this message in this theme as shown in the picture

It has to do with the fact Discourse moved to FontAwesome6 from FontAwesome5 and the FKB Social theme hasn`t updated the icon names/tags in its code. I will be working with our IT guy to create a fork fixing this should the update not come before the end of the grace period set by Discourse (which I believe is Q2 2025).

Hello :wave:

Thanks for the report :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m working on a big update to be compatible with new Discourse changes. But I need more time to update everything…
The fontawesome issue is mostly coming from the fkb_panel_items setting. Which still use FA5 icons. Until then you can change it manually in that setting. Change: cog → gear, pencil-alt → pencil and if you added custom ones than you can check the FA6 icons on fontawesome website.

Hello :wave:

Thanks for the report, this seems happening when glimmer topic list is failed on mobile. :confused:

I’ve merged a fix, if glimmer topic list failed on mobile it adds a class to the body with a new style for it. Now it should be better.

I’ve made some more tweaks because there could be other issues e.g. with bulk select. So with this update, it will use the old (template, css) if the glimmer topic list is failed. If the glimmer topic list active it will drop the old theme (template, css) and use the new one. Hopefully this will works well. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello,

I notice that my category descriptions are duplicated only when a topic is pinned in the category. This issue only occurs with the FKB Pro theme and persists even after a complete reinstallation.

The duplication disappears if I unpin the topic or use another theme. Could you please let me know if there’s a solution to fix this behavior?

Thank you for your help.

Hey @Kevin7 :wave: Nice catch. Thanks for the report. :slightly_smiling_face: I’ve merged an update to hide the pinned topic default excerpt: UX: hide pinned topic excerpt to prevent duplicated topic excerpt

Wuuu wuuu wuuu… Save meee! It’s goneee! :sob::sob::sob: I looked everywhere, but nope, nowhere to be found! Could it have just… vanished into thin air? Someone call the digital rescue squad! :sos::computer:

Did you try to click the button in the right bottom corner?



The page ratio seems to be a little off after I clicked on it.
