It works for custom templates as well as long as it is rendered with res.render('nameOfCustomTpl', data); Then the hook name becomes filter:nameOfCustomTpl.build

Hope your backups are good

I'd recommend setting up static file serving on nginx, but I bet you do that already.

It's a little difficult to explain, but at a high level, we're a single page app, which means when you click on an anchor, we request the JSON for the new page, render the html on the user browser, empty everything in #content, and inject it into #content. The overlay is a transition that makes this process a little smoother.

We use a templating engine called Benchpress to render templates on both server and client-side.

Got me scared there for a sec

@Joykiller said in Which is better NodeBB or Discourse?:

I look at it from another point of view..
NodeBB is more of a developer board and Discourse is popular and has more developers for consumer usage. Nodebb just isn't user friendly enough for changes for users just my 2cents.

Yes, that is the sad reality of it, is that we're not as large as Discourse nor do we have as much money, but I still feel we've come up with a competitive product that holds a candle to it.

The unfortunate part is that that last 10% to even out the rough edges requires money, or developers, and often both, and while we're around, many thing pull at us in many different directions

Seems to be an issue with many open source products in general...

Probably executed it by mistake... @Kinchtwck how are you starting NodeBB?
