Updating to 1.3.0 - Issues

[julian]

Yes, I'm aware custom pages is broken on 1.3.0 -- a workaround is to rm -rf public/templates and then start NodeBB up again.

[yariplus]

I can fix it, but I would use a different approach then what the plugin currently uses.

@julian But then I need to recreate the pages again right? Would be nice to have a solid solution integrated into core!

[Jenkler]

@yariplus That sounds interesting

What's your solution? Haven't taken a look at the plugin yet to see what's wrong... in fact, when I did try it out, it seemed to work fine on latest master :shipit:

I changed it so that it writes templates to it's own directory, and compiles them from there. Removes the hotswap stuff, and doesn't depend on nodebb's own templates directory being available.

@yariplus I just tested it. Your version is showing 3.2 current version is 3.3.

It' currently does not work, error message - you seem to have stumbled upon a page that does not exist. Return to the home page.

3.3 is custom page, route is setup like:
mywebsite/newroute

Yours is setup like:
mywebsite/custom-pages/newroute

The routes are exactly the same, I only changed the location of the templates. Did you install using npm? It probably ignored the empty directory. The directory templates/custom-pages should exist in the plugin folder.

[evoixmr]

@yariplus yes I installed by: npm install https://github.com/yariplus/nodebb-plugin-custom-pages.git

Do I need to empty the draft zone before I install? the only thing I can think of is I did not stop nodebb before installing.

[yariplus]

is there a templates/custom-pages directory in the plugin folder?

[evoixmr]

@yariplus no the directory was not created.

[yariplus]

create the directory and restart nodebb, it should make the templates.

[julian]

@yariplus The hotswap stuff was added so the routes can be available without a NodeBB restart... I'm not entirely sure removing it was the right course of action

Also, if you guys are using latest, you probably need to ./nodebb build...

Any know issues with 1.3.0 from 1.2.x, is it safe to update!

Tell me about your issues

Everything goes well

[evoixmr]

@yariplus I created the directtory /templates/custom-pages under but as soon as I restarted it deleted everything under templates/ and the directory was not recreated.

[yariplus]

@evoixmr I mean /node_modules/nodebb-plugin-custom-pages/templates/custom-pages/

[evoixmr]

@yariplus error message

Internal Error.

Oops! Looks like something went wrong!

/newroute

Failed to lookup view "custom-pages/newroute" in views directory "/home/nodebb/public/templates"

[yariplus]

Yeah, idk. My version was just an experiment really. Are you on the master branch? The regular version seems to work on master.

[evoixmr]

@yariplus No I'm not on master. I'll try it out on master later.

[julian]

Thanks @evoixmr -- I did notice myself on another install that it didn't work on v1.x.x branch, but it might work on master again, so a small blip where it stopped working
