Custom made pages

PitaJ

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'));
});

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.

@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?

@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.

@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.
