[nodebb-plugin-custom-pages] Custom Static pages for NodeBB

ryanmehta

hey cant seem to get this to work.

In the init function (set to run on the app.load action), getCustomPages is called which gets the custom pages from the db. But setting routes within that callback happens too late.

There is a github issue for this.

julian

Thanks @ryanmehta Looks similar to an issue I faced with the GA plugin yesterday. Might be an issue with core...

Please see gh#1822

ryanmehta

@julian that's exactly it. thanks i will monitor this. after this is resolved in core I can make a PR to fix this plugin.

Updated to work with latest (v0.5x)

vivek tailor

i want to remove custom-pages links from main menu

a_5mith

@vivek-tailor Try adding this to the custom class...

" style="display:none;

Copy it as is, including the first " etc.

vivek tailor

@a_5mith thanks

psychobunny

Nice trick

Once this issue is resolved you'll be able to remove / rearrange menu items without having to use the above

Scuzz

@psychobunny Is it still not possible to add an image to the link?

Tanner

Even adding a FontAwesome icon would suffice for the time being if that's not possible.

Tanner

@psychobunny is it at all possible to add a "hide to anonymous users" or "make page private" option to the static pages? I realize that you can do this with each individual widget but it would be much more expedient if it were implemented in the ACP section of this plugin.

Tanner

@psychobunny you might not be managing this plugin anymore, but I'm running into an issue where the widgets don't load on the custom pages, even after clearing cache and stuff. Anything you'd be able to do to help me out?

@Scuzz said:

Is there any way to use an icon instead of just text?

Better late than never:

 $('document').ready(function() {
    $( "li.policy-page>a>span" ).replaceWith( '<i class="fa fa-fw fa-gavel"></i>' );
 });

Just replace policy-page with the class of your new page, and fa-gavel with the icon you want it replaced with.

Hmm... The plugin didn't run on NodeBB 0.5.4

@markkus, you're running the 0.6.0 supported version of the plugin. Run the following one line at a time from your NodeBB folder.

npm rm nodebb-plugin-custom-pages
npm i [email protected]

Then go into your Plugins in the ACP, disable the custom-pages plugin, then re-enable it. Then restart/reload your forum.

markkus

Oh lol... Thanks!

Anyone else having CSRF issues with this plugin on 0.6.0?

? Offline

It looks like the CSRF issue was in core, not within the plugin itself.

RazorAxis

Can I ask, what is a custom static page? Is it a page without the forum?

a_5mith

@RazorAxis it creates new pages like /about or /welcome that allow you to add your own html to that page. So pretty much what you said, yes.
