Updating to 1.3.0 - Issues

[evoixmr]

@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.

@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/

@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

[Jenkler]

Is the goal here to get the regular version work on v1.x.x branch? Is that possible without a workaround?

[evoixmr]

@yariplus It did not work on master, same error.
Internal Error.

Oops! Looks like something went wrong!

/testroute

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

[evoixmr]

@julian you're welcome, by the way I notice that reload forum is back on master.

[email protected] is working fine on master.

[julian]

@evoixmr I meant the existing version of custom-pages should work on master again...

In any case, @yariplus has some interesting ideas so if it pans out, then we'll go with his version and merge it into the published version.

[evoixmr]

@julian the version of @psychobunny work on master. The version of @yariplus have the same error on master and v1.3.0.

[Jenkler]

It would be great if we could fix this so I can upgrade
