nodebb-plugin-customize: Customize NodeBB Translations and Templates

@smartpunter I'm not able to reproduce this. Can you try running ./nodebb build and restarting?

Let me know if you see any errors during build, in the logs, on the client, etc

./nodebb build

No, no errors, succesfull build, same problem after restart.

Okay this is due to a bug in benchpress (the templating engine NodeBB uses). I'm guessing you have a line like the following in your logs:

[benchpressjs] Unable to build or find a suitable native module, falling back to JS version

This is because you're on a Node version / OS that benchpress doesn't have pre-built binaries for, so it falls back to the slower and less flexible JS compiler.

I'll fix the bug in benchpress, but I recommend you get it working with the native module. I know that Node 10 and most linux distros and Windows version work.

PitaJ

Okay, I've fixed benchpress, you should be able to run npm i benchpressjs@latest in your nodebb directory to get the fix. Try to get the native version working though.

BTW, New version of this plugin has been released: [email protected]

You can now customize templates!

Indeed, i had this lines regarding benchpress... Unfortunately there is no list of supported Node/OS versions on site I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and node 11.9.0, so my guess it should rather be node 10 LTS, as recommended here

Or, now this plugin has template customizations too, great job! Thank you again! I think this plugin should be bundled into the core...

@pitaj Hi @PitaJ , we have added a "location" key to the registration page. Is it possible to translate those new keys with this plugin?

PitaJ

@crazycells the plugin only knows about keys that are already in the NodeBB system. You could try coopting an unused key from something else.

With this plugin, can I translate categories to create a multilingual forum?
