@dev-wilco from server or from client?
@dev-wilco You could use ur own plugin and simply make an API call within the clientside javascript file of your plugin.
git clone https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-quickstart.gitYou should have a folder called nodebb-plugin-quickstart
Go into that directory cd nodebb-plugin-quickstart and run sudo npm link. More informations about that here
No you can go into your nodebb installation and run
npm link nodebb-plugin-quickstart
Now ur plugin is linked to nodebb/node-modules and all modifications in nodebb-plugin-quickstart will appear in the linked folder inside your installation.
Do only make changes in the downloaded folder, not inside nodebb/node-modules
Now you can edit the file nodebb-plugin-quickstart/static/lib/main.js
You already should see this:
$(document).ready(function () {
console.log('nodebb-plugin-quickstart: loaded');
});
Activate the plugin via ACP, rebuild nodebb and start it. No you should able to see nodebb-plugin-quickstart: loaded in the console of your webbrowser on refreshing the page.
If you want to execute the function everytime not only on hard refreshing the page you can use:
$(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
/*****/
});
Now you are able to make your API call with your own plugin.
Here are some usefull clientside hooks you can listen to, to execute your function.
@dogs themes are plugins, so everything you suggested can also be done in their theme.
