Putting my site's header/navigation elements above NodeBB's?

@MattB the plugin allows you to modify templates however you like

Re: activating theme, what did you do when you made nodebb-theme-mytheme? It needs to be accessible through node_modules (whether it lives directly inside or is symlinked in) and you need to select the theme for use either in the ACP or by running ./nodebb activate nodebb-theme-mytheme. That's what I was referring to by activation.

@PitaJ okay great thanks! I'll try that. All I did was follow these steps:

e.g. If you want to modify topic.tpl, you would:

Copy the contents of nodebb-theme-persona/templates/topic.tpl
Create nodebb-theme-mytheme/templates
Create a new file nodebb-theme-mytheme/templates/topic.tpl with the contents of the original topic.tpl file
Make your changes as necessary.
./nodebb build tpl && ./nodebb dev to rebuild and start NodeBB

@PitaJ nodebb-plugin-customize is working perfectly. Very easy to use. Thanks for your help.

I tried installing nodebb-plugin-customize which works fine, but on activating, when I try to edit a template, I just get the title, and then a blank page. Did I miss something ?

PitaJ

@phenomlab what version of the customize plugin do you have installed? Are there any errors in the browser console or the NodeBB logs when you visit that page? Also what version of NodeBB and what version of Node?

phenomlab

@pitaj I thought there was only one version of the plugin according to the GitHub page. I'm running v14.16.1 of NodeJS, and NodeBB version 1.16.2.

Nothing in the browser console either.

PitaJ

@phenomlab you want version 2.0.0 of the plugin, it should work

phenomlab

@pitaj Thanks. I'll try this.

PitaJ

Actually 2.0.0 may not work until 1.17.0 releases next week

phenomlab

@pitaj it does seem to work, but has some errors in the console
