I'm full of good ideas.

Hey,
Is it possible to customise widget templates by theme?

Thank you

psychobunny

Hmm. I don't believe so (unless you're just doing CSS changes, then yeah)

If you want to modify the template I guess you can fork/modify the widget-essentials repo. Or build your own widget, it depends on what you want to achieve... I should make a guide on how to make your own widget plugins

BTW, if it's just front-end JS and HTML, you could even just copy and paste it directly into an HTML widget and you'd be good to go.

so I have to change it every time plugin updates
maybe it is better to implement overriding like for usual templates

is it possible to change fa-bell-o notification icon without editing nodebb sources to prevent problems while upgrading?

psychobunny

so I have to change it every time plugin updates

Actually no, I was talking about an HTML widget, so something like this:

what about "Recent Replies" widget?

psychobunny

I think you can actually just paste the entire contents of this into an HTML widget and it should work

Whats the syntax for commenting code in .tpl files ?
Is multi-line comment supported ?

PitaJ

You can use normal HTML comments like . If you really don't want the comment to be output in the html you can do something like

{{{ if @false }}}
Comment goes here
{{{ end }}}
