How to create a new route for a new custom page

[xuso]

Hi!

I'm developing a plugin that allows a user to ignore others and hide his posts in every topic. That part is done, now I want to create a new page to display the list of ignored users in the profile. I've done this:

app.get('/user/:userslug/ignored', params.middleware.buildHeader, controllers.accounts.getIgnored);
app.get('/api/user/:userslug/ignored', controllers.accounts.getIgnored);

Where .getIgnored equals:

controllers.accounts.getIgnored = function (req, res, next) {
	if (!req.user) {
		return helpers.notAllowed(req, res);
	}

    /* Retrieve the ignored users from DB... */

	res.render('account/ignored', {
		userslug: req.params.userslug,
		ignored: users
	});

}

Ok. Now, if I go to the URL /user/admin/ignored it displays my template and my ignored users perfectly. So far, so good. The problem comes when I try to access that new page from a link (i.e. the profile dropdown), then the redirect doesn't work. I've figured out that the problem is I defined the routing on server-side but not on client-side, so... ¿How can I get that? Basing on the homepage plugin I suppose that I have to change the client routing by using the hook filter:templates.get_config and add this:

Plugin.changeClientRouting = function (config, callback) {
	config.custom_mapping['^user/.*/ignored'] = 'account/ignored';
	callback(null, config);
};

But it doesn't seem to work.

¿Any help?

Thank you

This should work, as far as I can see. Can I have a look at the repo, is it public?

EDIT: also have a look at this route http://url.com/api/get_templates_listing has it been updated?

Yes, the API call seems to retrieve both routes:

{
    "availableTemplates": [
      ...
        "account/ignored.tpl",
       ...
    ],
    "templatesConfig": {
        "custom_mapping": {
            ...
            "^user/.*/ignored": "account/ignored"
            ...
        },
        "force_refresh": {
            "logout": true
        }
    }
}

Here is the public repo: https://github.com/exo-do/nodebb-plugin-ignore-users

If it helps, when the redirection fails, the template displays something like this:

(Like you can see at the picture, it loads the profile view -broken- instead the new ignored view)

Looks like there was a bug in core specifically for adding routes to user/xxx/route

Update to latest or this commit for the fix

Hi again. A question related: Is it possible to obtain all the same data retrieved by the calls 'getFollow', 'getFollowers', etc. ? I mean all this attributes:

userData.uid = userData.uid;
userData.yourid = callerUID;
userData.theirid = userData.uid;
userData.isSelf = self;
userData.showSettings = self || isAdmin;
userData.groups = Array.isArray(results.groups) && results.groups.length ? results.groups[0] : [];
userData.disableSignatures = meta.config.disableSignatures !== undefined && parseInt(meta.config.disableSignatures, 10) === 1;
userData['email:confirmed'] = !!parseInt(userData['email:confirmed'], 10);
userData.profile_links = results.profile_links;
userData.status = websockets.isUserOnline(userData.uid) ? (userData.status || 'online') : 'offline';
userData.banned = parseInt(userData.banned, 10) === 1;
userData.websiteName = userData.website.replace('http://', '').replace('https://', '');
userData.followingCount = results.followStats.followingCount;
userData.followerCount = results.followStats.followerCount;

Those calls use the method getUserDataByUserSlug from accounts.js but I can't, because it is a private method.

I need it to make a seamless integration of my plugin and be able to show the same dropdown menu that the other sections of the profile show. That includes the 'profile_links' for example.
