All of our translation efforts are handled on Transifex (https://www.transifex.com/nodebb/nodebb/), but in general, yes... fixes and incorrect translations would be handled there, and custom changes specific to your community you'd make to those files directly.

Thank you, yari!

@julian how about running one huge find and replace job? Wait... on second thoughts maybe not ha

Also /src/views/, for ACP templates

Yessir 😉

this idea wouldn't work if > 1 line change

I was referring to my idea of making a manual 1-line change to the theme core at the point of each upgrade. That would avoid you having to use Git to merge in new commits each upgrade.

Again, although not a clean way of working, it sounds like it'll be easier than what you're currently doing.

@julian Got ya. Thanks for the heads up

For example, I would like to replace username on topic, like shown on the screenshot:Image 1.png

My case is to provide text-area for the user in ACP, so user for example can "change template" of rendering list item.

For example one possible solution:

Store template markup in settings, and ask user to reload NodeBB. In static:load use file system instruments to rewrite template.

But I'm not happy with such solution 😉

I suppose we could add a widget area for the index page template...

@julian Right, I understand. It just makes it difficult to migrate from a more traditional forum like phpBB (which is the most, or perhaps second-most, used forum software today). I think making it easier to migrate from phpBB's format could only help nodeBB gain more ground 🙂 Here is the github issue I opened a couple weeks ago. It was closed, though I hope we can reopen it. I'm more than willing to contribute. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

lots0logs created this issue in NodeBB/NodeBB closed Posts from child categories are not shown on the home page. #2549

Ok, this works

<!-- IF categories.children.length --> <!-- BEGIN children --> <!-- IF @first -->(Sub-forums: <!-- ENDIF @first --> <a href="\{relative_path\}/category/{categories.children.slug}" itemprop="url">{categories.children.name}</a> <!-- IF !@last --> &middot; <!-- ENDIF !@last --> <!-- IF @last -->)<!-- ENDIF @last --> <!-- END children --> <!-- ENDIF categories.children.length -->

Just put it somewhere between <!-- BEGIN categories --> and <!--END categories --> in home.tpl

And take both \ from {relative_path}.. it seems that nodebb parses it... so I had to type...

Ya, so I was dumb...I have a local dev instance and a staging server. I was playing around with some things and forgot to switch the theme back to vanilla which explains why I was missing the navbar for the login screen...boo me.

But yes, thanks for pointing that out. The template engine and middleware are making a lot more sense now after looking through the source for the last 2 days...

I'm going to start looking to add/update the documentation here soon...some of the stuff can drive you crazy if you aren't familiar with the version changes.

Also, after reading through most of core at this point I have to say it's an impressive piece of kit. Thumbs up to the core devs. @julian @baris @psychobunny

EDIT: Also, anyone else who comes across this thread...if you really want to save yourself some time banging your head against the wall -- like I did -- take a few days to really dive into the nodebb source. It has been a good lesson in object-oriented javascript -- so many objects 🙂 -- done right. I've realized I'm approaching things more from a functional perspective, so this has been an eye opener for me.

@bentael yes, I believe that is the case.
