Custom made pages

[arc002]

Hi Folks,

I have developed few of the pages under Angular CLI: 7.3.10(including home page) and the routes was working fine with nodeBB v1.11.2 on initialisation of my site. But now i have upgraded to nodeBB v1.14.3 and my route for home page and other routes(which is developed under Angular) is not working on the initialisation of my site.
Even if i have selected custom in "Custom" under settings -> home page -> home page routes, it shows me the error:
/custom Not Found
You seem to have stumbled upon a page that does not exist. Return to the home page

Can anybody guide me if there is some update in procedure to change of routes between the stacks.

Thanks

How are you serving these pages?

[arc002]

@PitaJ earlier we are redirecting to Angular custom page by using below mentioned piece of code in routes -> index.js

app.get('/home', [], function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.resolve('public/dist/homepage/index.html'));
});

[arc002]

Any update on how to achieve this custom routing

[PitaJ]

Is that in a plugin or theme?

Also, it looks like you're registering /home but have /custom in the ACP setting.

[arc002]

@PitaJ we have created a separate home page in Angular(typescript) and we are routing it from nodebb->src -> routes ->index.js in nodebb version 1.11
by using below mentioned code:
app.get('/home', [], function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.resolve('public/dist/homepage/index.html'));
});

How can we route home.tpl(created using nodebb-plugin-custom-page) to this custom Angular home page

[PitaJ]

You don't need nodebb-plugin-custom-pages. In fact, that will interfere with what you're trying to do.

Just set the custom homepage in the ACP to "/home" and try that.

What happens when you access /home directly?

[arc002]

@PitaJ when i select custom in ACP, i didn't found any field where i can provide the path /home.

please refer to the image

[PitaJ]

@arc002 you should be able to search for "custom homepage route" in the ACP search to find it

You do have to select custom, then put in the route.

[arc002]

@PitaJ i am not getting the route field when i select custom in the ACP, please refer to this screenshot.

Please let me know your availability for tomorrow, if you can assist over a call that would be a great help.

I looked at this on my environment and can reproduce the issue. It appears the logic to show this never really worked, that's a bug.

ACP > Home Page > Home Page Route > Custom Route input does not show · Issue #8611 · NodeBB/NodeBB

Should show when "Custom" option is selected. https://community.nodebb.org/topic/14984/custom-made-pages
