Custom route

Roman Kulik

Are there any additional rules for routing custom routes?
I have read and tried create-custom-route-in-plugin to add /api route but it still didn't work when link is not opened but clicked on another page.
Maybe someone has a full example of this routing

What have you tried?

Please share your code.

Roman Kulik

Builds.init = function (data, callback) {

	function renderPage(req, res, next) {
		const buildData = {};
		let data = {
			title: "TMM",
			build: buildData,
			front: true,
			relative_path: nconf.get("relative_path")
		};
		var template = 'front/build';
		res.render(template, data);
	};
	data.router.get('/api/build/:bid', renderPage);
	data.router.get('/build/:bid', data.middleware.buildHeader, renderPage);
}

Even when I manually call from browser /api/build/:bid route - it returns me data for render, so route works, but on click for the link - no results

Can you give an example of a link which exhibits the behavior you're talking about?

Roman Kulik

part of another page rendered html with a link
<a class="c-slideset__photo" href="/build/34">
<img src=/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-custom-auth-questions/images/photo/5.png" alt="image">

So it works when you load /build/34 directly in your browser, and it works when you load /api/build/34 directly in your browser, but it doesn't work when you click on the link.

Are there any errors in the browser console or server log?

Roman Kulik

no errors in logs.
I have found the issue. After digging into the nodebb routing and rendering I found this line in ajaxify.js

$('#content').html(translatedTemplate);

and understood that I am using my custom theme without element with id = content, that was a problem.
After adding 'id=content' to my body tag in header template everything become Ok)
@PitaJ Thanks for support
