I'm looking to include custom forms on my site so that users can post uniform data for certain categories.

What would be the best way to tackle this? Would I need to create an entire plugin for a new composer, just make a custom .tpl file, etc.?

Looking for any suggestions or help! Attached are a few mockups of the form from an older website-

@waldhay yes, you're supposed to rebuild and restart after installing plugins or changing themes.

@Maddoctor can you try setting Admin relogin duration to 0 in your ACP and try again. I created an issue for this https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/9063

In your plugins init method you can do
var helpers = module.parent.require('./routes/helpers'); myPlugin.init = function(params, callback) { helpers.setupPageRoute(params.app, '/', params.middleware, [], myCustomHome); callback(); }; function myCustomHome(req, res, next) { async.parallel({ categories: function(next) { Categories.getAllCategories(); } topics: function(next) { Topics.getLatestTopics(); } }, function(err, results) { res.render('myCustomTemplate', results); }); }
I left out some of the params for the 2 methods you mentioned. Let me know if you can't figure it out.
