@xCausxn you some times have to wait quite a long time for the effects to show on your site, sometimes hours

@xCausxn you some times have to wait quite a long time for the effects to show on your site, sometimes hours

Or just clear the cache

I'm still investigating a better way to do that, hang on guys. will try to stabilize it with NodeBB 0.3.1

@julian ugh... can't you automate that?

julian

It's something I'd like to address... except right now I have no idea how to do it. The problem lies in the fact that I only have one chance to add routes (like js/css/static routes) per plugin, and that's at app start. Enabling and disabling plugins requires adding and removing routes respectively, and I can't do that while the app is running.

There are some strategies, but I haven't had a decent enough block of time to actually get down and experiment

StuartH

@dove That has no effect unfortunately

@StuartH @dove @xCausxn @planner

pushed some major changes to this plugin just now, but i had to break backward compatibility, so you will loose your settings once you upgrade. if you have some large text entered in there, save it in a text file, then re-enter it after upgrade. it's at 0.2.0 now and you will need to npm install if you are git cloning the repo, if not, npm upgrade nodebb-plugin-42 should do the job.

give it a shot, let me know if you having more issues, activating still requires a restart, but saving the settings should reflect immediately, if not try another restart after saving. caching and minification processes are not very clear to me yet.

I will add an upgrade process soon so it won't break backward compatibility and won't pollute your databases with obsolete configs, probably with NodeBB 0.4.0 release.

StuartH

Thanks @bentael will try it today

@StuartH i pushed few more fixes to the -42 plugin at 0.2.5 now, once again, i broke backward compatibility. But I think I fixed why the footer code takes so long to show up.

I just upgraded the nodebb to the lastest version v0.4.3. It seems to me that the installation of plugin-42 will cause errors.

@DennisSun Isn't compatible with latest, I seem to recall the developer of that plugin not wanting to release it as it's a cheap hack. Which portion of that plugin did you want to use?

DennisSun

@a_5mith hi, i need to edit the htmls to add some analytics as well as SSO services in, which are not supported by the plugins.

julian

@DennisSun Have you tried using a "script" widget to achieve this? Feel free to start a new thread if you run into problems

DennisSun

@julian I don't see any "script" widget. I just upgraded to the lastest version today. Any plugin needed?

julian

HTML widget, rather:

bentael
