Did you activate it in the ACP, and then restart your forum?

Scuzz

Yeah it doesnt seem to make any changes at BitBangers either? do we need to be on edge? or is latest stable ok?

Guiri

@psychobunny Is this dependent on a newer vanilla or hook? I'm having a similar problem to @Scuzz. Activated, restarted, but no visible changes or options to change.

Alex Mao

@psychobunny I seem to have the same problem, activated and restarted but no apparent changes, can you look into this?

Flexi Hackify

I used npm install nodebb-plugin-classic-home and it installed but doesn't show in my plugin list. What's wrong? I have the latest NodeBB

Flexi Hackify

nevermind. I got it to work. thanks

psychobunny

@Alex-Mao @Guiri @Scuzz sorry for missing these replies. It works for me on latest NodeBB on Lavender and Vanilla, so likely you may have been using an older version of NodeBB?

Scuzz

@psychobunny No problem, we know you are a busy guy! I'm on Latest stable, so 0.4.3?

psychobunny

Hmm. I would imagine this should work with 0.4.3

When you activate and restart the forum, what do you get here? domain.com/templates/home.tpl

Might also be a plugin conflicting with this, you don't have any plugins overwriting the home template right? Can you let me know what other plugins you have activated?

Scuzz

@psychobunny

It downloads but in the file there is this

<div class="motd">
<div widget-area="motd" class="hidden"></div>
</div>

<div class="row home" itemscope itemtype="http://www.schema.org/ItemList">

I'm pretty sure i dont have anything else overwriting the home page.

I'm at a loss then. My only guess would be to try to update to bleeding edge (or maybe you should wait till v0.5 if you want to run stable only) but I was pretty sure that this should have worked on v0.4.3

Scuzz

I'll wait until next stable update. I only wanted to test it out to see what i looks like.

@psychobunny i really love the simplicity of this theme/plugin (especially when we have many categories and sub-categories the default theme is not good). the 0.5.1 now support sub-categories, does this classic theme/plugin support sub-categories as well? thanks.

julian

Most likely the theme will need some integration before subcategories will be shown. At present, I believe only vanilla and lavender show subcategories.
