Star Wars theme

What better way to celebrate Star Wars day then with a Star Wars theme. This theme gives a parallax star background and a traditional star wars theatrical crawl on the site FAQ page.

The Git repo includes the sound files to accompany the intro (browser dependent). Please feel free to modify, pull requests welcome

How do I install a Theme or Theme Component?

Please could we enable upload of sound files (mp3, ogg) to assets on the theme creator site?

Thank you @david

I’ve updated this theme to coincide with the anniversary of the release of Star Wars on 25 May 1977.

New jump to light speed and hyperspace effect (hold down left mouse button or long touch on screen)
Improved rendering of FAQ crawl on mobile devices
New lightsaber to conduct the orchestral opening
Admins renames on the About page
Iris wipe effect on privacy page (experimental)

RIP Dave Prowse (Darth Vader). One of the greatest villains of all time.

Happy Star Wars day. One year on

Rhidian · May 5, 2021, 7:50am

This theme is now generating and error on the theme creator and the theatrical crawl isn’t displaying. The theme hasn’t been changed and it still works on the latest stable version of Discourse.

@david can you tell if this is this an issue with the theme creator demo site (and/or discourse version it is running on) or the theme?

Probably breaking on this:

naidihr/discourse-star-wars-theme/blob/d8a170ddc7dc283a6c6f1a3167cf187a979c5175/common/header.html#L17








api.onPageChange(() => {
    //reset
    $('div.starwars').html('').hide();
    stopJump();
    $("html").css("cursor","auto");
    
    //append star wars crawl to FAQ page
    selector = 'body.static-faq div[itemprop="mainContentOfPage"]';
    if ($(selector).length && !$('div.star-wars-intro').length){
        
    var crawl='<div class="parallax">Test</div>';
    var intro = '<div class="star-wars-intro">A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...</div>'; 
    
    var audio = '<audio autoplay>';
    audio += '<source src="' + settings.theme_uploads.Star_Wars_original_opening_crawl_1977_ogg + '" type="audio/ogg" />';
    audio += '<source src="' + settings.theme_uploads.Star_Wars_original_opening_crawl_1977_mp3 + '" type="audio/mpeg" />';
    audio += '</audio>';

Because of this: JavaScript "use strict"

Rhidian · May 5, 2021, 8:02am

Thanks @merefield. That’s fixed it .

When did the JavaScript “use strict” requirement come in?

merefield · May 5, 2021, 8:13am

Only a few weeks ago if that

nolo · May 5, 2021, 8:14am

That’s the topic explaining the changes:

Wow! Quite an interesting theme! May The Fourth be with all of you too!

Amazing theme! The only issue I have with it though is that the text scrolls quite rapidly, if you could slow it down a bit, that would be great.

Thanks for fixing it! Strictness is a new rule that benefits everyone in the long run
