Thanks @julian, that solved that issue.
Additional details. The problem may be the way that I have my S3 content bucket locked down such that my dev forum cannot access the files (different subdomain).
This is a new feature that is coming in 1.6.1, previously html widgets were just static. Now you can use them like any template. For example here is a sample html widget placed on category.tpl sidebar.
Now when you visit the General Discussion
category it looks like this:
If you visit Announcements Category
it looks like this:
You can use any benchpressjs(templates.js) syntax, and any data that is avaiable in ajaxify.data
. You can see the variables available by opening up your browser console and typing ajaxify.data
.
Another cool feature this allows is letting plugins add custom data into pages and then utilizing that in widgets. By using the hooks filter:<template_name>.build
and/or filter:middleware.render
you can add data into the page and the widget will have access to the same data.
Hope this helps customise your NodeBB even further!
I've wanted this for so long...
@djensen47 can you give some more details? What page are you looking at etc
I'm trying to insert some template data into an html widget. I'm currently looking at the homepage while testing this.
.... oh. But I'm still not sure how to get the user data like username.
@djensen47 ajaxify.data.loggedInUser.username
would be loggedInUser.username
in the template context.
@djensen47 oh, huh. Appears loggedInUser
isn't defined on the home page (/category listing). Odd. In that case, you'll have to provide that data yourself by hooking into filter:<abc>.render
or adding the info to the widget itself.
Otherwise you'll have to bug us to add that into core.
@PitaJ said in html widgets can access template data in 1.6.1:
adding the info to the widget itself.
I'm using the HTML widget, is there another way to get this data into the HTML widget?
@djensen47 Not at this time AFAIK
Looks like I can do it with JavaScript.
But lemmie tell you writing Javascript inside an HTML widget is a Pain In The Neck.
