ajaxify error after override header template

Poker Stament

Hi,

I made everything as in instruction. In my own theme (created by quickstart) I created templates directory. I needed to change something in header.tpl, so I putted original header.tpl into my templates directory. After cmds:

nodebb build && nodebb start i've got console error:

nodebb.min.js?v=ped6uodgli8:17928 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'startsWith' of undefined
    at Object.ajaxify.loadScript (nodebb.min.js?v=ped6uodgli8:17928)
    at Object.ajaxify.end (nodebb.min.js?v=ped6uodgli8:17896)
    at Object.app.load (nodebb.min.js?v=ped6uodgli8:16798)
    at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (nodebb.min.js?v=ped6uodgli8:18128)
    at mightThrow (nodebb.min.js?v=ped6uodgli8:4064)
    at process (nodebb.min.js?v=ped6uodgli8:4132)

I haven't change anything in copied header.tpl. It's the same template as original - but in my theme-templates dir. What's going on?

I tried to put entire templates dir. from original Persona Theme, but after this I have console problems with define is not defined and JavaScript is crashing. (modules are not working fine, even nodebb.min.js is not created.);

Thanks for reacting,
and please try to solve this problem.

Please share your header.tpl and nodebb version you are using.

Nodebb version from package.json

Are there errors when you run ./nodebb build? How about during running of NodeBB?

If you have a custom theme please add the app.template property in your header.tpl. Here is a sample from lavender. var RELATIVE_PATH = "{relative_path}"; ...

Your initial header.tpl should work with the latest version of nodebb, app.template is no longer necessary since that is available in ajaxify.data.template
