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

RazorAxis

@a_5mith, could you provide me with a site that uses this as an example so I can see how it looks. This is something I could use actually. Where is the link to the page? Same as a catagory? Thank you.

@Ted Worth noting that it usually only uses text, the icons are done using a Javascript tweak that you can find further up posted by me.

@Ted Thanks! That is pretty neat you can add it there like that. You could then use that as a sign up area for premium membership, or blogs, or really anything I guess

@RazorAxis, exactly. If you're just needing to add static content and want that integrated into the forum, it's a perfect solution. Personally, I use it to list winners of forum games. Sort of a "Hall of Fame"

What are these forum games you soeak of? They sound like fun. I plan on running contests too. Maybe not be a bad idea to have them listed out on another page.

@RazorAxis, my users like to pitch in a steam key or something small, and we'll have a some sort of contest or sorts, and we'll divvy up prizes.

I'm having issues on getting this to work on v.0.7.x . I create the static page, and when I go into the widgets section to add HTML to the content, the HTML never shows. I'm able to navigate to the page I created, but it's a blank page and the HTML I placed in the content section does not appear.

Is there another way I can create a static page with just HTML? Should I just go into /public/templates and create an HTML page?

Having the same problem as you @JonDoe12.
However all the global widget appears normally on this page.

Hi, i have same problem @JonDoe12
Routing works fine but Nodebb doesn't see my tpl files.
I tried to place tpl files into "/NodeBB/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-custom-pages/templates" and "/NodeBB/public/templates" but nothing happens.
Reboot nodebb does n't helps

Updated for NodeBB 0.7.0

New in 0.7x: Routes are no longer automatically added to the header. If you want to add an icon/text link to the header to your new route, visit General -> Navigation and use the drag and drop interface to do so.

Thanks @psychobunny !
However I just looked on github and have the same problem.

When i refresh the page here is what i got :

Internal error.
Oops! Looks like something went wrong!
/plante
Failed to lookup view "plante" in views directory "/root/mynodebb/public/templates"

The issue you linked is slightly different from what you're experiencing. He has a problem with ajaxify'ing into the page, but you're having a problem with cold load refreshes.

1 - Are you on latest NodeBB
2 - Did you restart? Routes and templates are regenerated on initialization

NodeBB 0.7.0

Thanks for your answer,

yep, i got the last one.
In fact, i can see that the page is loading just as the guy say it in the link and then stop loading, and nothing display.
Then when i try to refresh, this is the message that i had ^^.

Figured out how to repro that bug and fixed it in latest version

Awesome, it's working indeed
