@bloodchen the core team is mainly focused on developing one standard basic theme that hopefully is easy to modify yourself. We've been pumping out tons of custom themes for our enterprise clients, at least half a dozen per year on average (I mean, we also have to eat.). We have a small team that works on theming (see what I did there), so naturally that is the state of freely available open source themes at the moment.

Anyway, the next theme will be based on react and/or vue (your choice) and I hope that we will be having more open source themers in the future.

Thanks for the feedback.

After some more code digging and experiments I can answer my own question. A theme is a normal plugin and as such does not inherit any behavior from other plugins.
So you need to copy everything you need from the base theme library.js to your child theme. And of course, you need to declare client scripts explicitly.
Loading of missing templates from base theme is the only link between the base and the child theme.

@julian maybe you have something for hide something text? bcs it Снимок экрана (47).png

@pitaj Thank you so much! That worked. 👍

@baris Thank you very much. This worked! 🙂

€: I additionally use the hook

$(window).on('action:ajaxify.start', function (ev, data) { $('div.topic-header-image').hide(); });

so that the header container with the image is hiding immediatly and before ajaxify.end 👍

Thanks for the help and sorry if the "terrible" word hurts your feeling, I didn't mean to.

@PitaJ said in the issue of benchpressjs:

First off, calling their work "terrible" is a really bad strategy if you're trying to get help from someone. I'll still help, because I like being helpful, but please don't act this way in the future.

#1. about Interpolation, benchpressjs does NOT allow to retrieve array by index, like this:
<h1>{localNews.topics[0].title}</h1>

If you're trying to just get a specific single element of an array, you just put the number as the property name, like so:

<h1>{localNews.topics.0.title}</h1>

I see this isn't documented, so I'll open an issue to document this behavior.

#2, about helper function, I created one like this:
Benchpress.registerHelper('getByIndexInArray', function (arrayData, i) {
return arrayData[i];
});

and call this helper function like this:
<h5>{getByIndexInArray(localNews.topics, 1)}</h5>

But it seems like the index "i" can not be passed into the helper function, since in this helper function, I always got "i" as undefined.

Your helper is correct, it's how you're calling it that's the issue. Benchpress doesn't have numeric literals, it only has string literals. Putting just 1 in there is telling Benchpress to look up the property "1" on the global object, and call the helper with that value (which is undefined in your case). Your helper will work if you call it like this instead:

<h5>{getByIndexInArray(localNews.topics, "1")}</h5>

I will also add a note to document this behavior in the paths and helper section.

Issue is here: https://github.com/benchpressjs/benchpressjs/issues/89

pitaj created this issue in benchpressjs/benchpressjs closed Document numeric property access and lack of numeric literals #89

@pasib glad you found the issue

Help me pls )

Thank you @PitaJ for pointing me in the right direction. I adapted my code to the link you sent me.

(function (factory) { if (typeof module === 'object' && module.exports) { factory(require.main.require('benchpressjs')); } else { require(['benchpress'], factory); } }(function (Benchpress) { const logger = (data) => { console.log('Logger helper', data); return ''; }; const customHelpers = { register, logger, }; function register() { Object.keys(customHelpers).forEach(function (helperName) { Benchpress.registerHelper(helperName, customHelpers[helperName]); }); } register(); if (typeof module === 'object' && module.exports) { module.exports = customHelpers; } }));

Just by doing this made it work client side. But then it stopped working server side. That was easily fixed though by running helpers.register in my library file.

const helpers = require('./lib/helpers'); helpers.register();

Hope this helpes someone!

Thanks @baris, I will have a look.

Been offline for a bit but it looks like this has been addressed. This has been fixed by @julian in commit d33d965 to nodebb-theme-persona and commit 9d202d9 to nodebb.

Thanks Julian!

the answer is in this topic :
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/11906/add-a-class-to-the-body-if-the-template-is-404/3

nah, not gonna do this.

@insuusvenerati try running ./nodebb build and then start NodeBB

Hi, guys. I built a forum called V2MM for Chinese freelancers, and I built a theme with the same name.

nodebb-theme-v2mm on github.

Its still under development, but there are a few unique features:

Show topics of subcategories in parent categories. Support special topics, such as external link topics. Special category template.

Aside from building some pretty if/else blocks, is there any way to specify a distinct template for a particular forum or subforum?

config['theme:id']

Thanks!

NPM install I've done
