Solved Using The Build Hook on Tpl Files That Are Inside Folders

[Laz]

Hey again. When trying to run the build hook on a template file that is inside a folder, it doesn't seem to be run.

I have the following structure for my example:

Root Folder: Template -
File 1: users.tpl -
Subfolder: Partials -
File 2: users_list.tpl

If I was to use the following hooks:

{ "hook": "filter:users.build", "method": "usersBuild" },
{ "hook": "filter:user_list.build", "method": "userListBuild" }

The first hook would be executed, but the second one would not.
Is there something I am missing / not understanding?

Yes it's called filter:middleware.render Take a look here https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/middleware/render.js#L47-L51

users_list.tpl is a partial so it is not directly rendered in nodebb core with res.render(templateName, data) that's why the hook won't fire for it.

What are you trying to do in userListBuild? You can probably do it in the usersBuild hook by accessing the user data in templateData.users

Alright, understood. I wasn't sure how it worked then it seems. Is there a 'global' build hook? Something that is fired on every page?
