[nodebb-plugin-classic-home] Classical Homepage

[Flexi Hackify]

I used npm install nodebb-plugin-classic-home and it installed but doesn't show in my plugin list. What's wrong? I have the latest NodeBB

[Flexi Hackify]

nevermind. I got it to work. thanks

@Alex-Mao @Guiri @Scuzz sorry for missing these replies. It works for me on latest NodeBB on Lavender and Vanilla, so likely you may have been using an older version of NodeBB?

[Scuzz]

@psychobunny No problem, we know you are a busy guy! I'm on Latest stable, so 0.4.3?

[psychobunny]

Hmm. I would imagine this should work with 0.4.3

When you activate and restart the forum, what do you get here? domain.com/templates/home.tpl

Might also be a plugin conflicting with this, you don't have any plugins overwriting the home template right? Can you let me know what other plugins you have activated?

[Scuzz]

@psychobunny

It downloads but in the file there is this

<div class="motd">
<div widget-area="motd" class="hidden"></div>
</div>

<div class="row home" itemscope itemtype="http://www.schema.org/ItemList">

I'm pretty sure i dont have anything else overwriting the home page.

I'm at a loss then. My only guess would be to try to update to bleeding edge (or maybe you should wait till v0.5 if you want to run stable only) but I was pretty sure that this should have worked on v0.4.3

[Scuzz]

I'll wait until next stable update. I only wanted to test it out to see what i looks like.

@psychobunny i really love the simplicity of this theme/plugin (especially when we have many categories and sub-categories the default theme is not good). the 0.5.1 now support sub-categories, does this classic theme/plugin support sub-categories as well? thanks.

[julian]

Most likely the theme will need some integration before subcategories will be shown. At present, I believe only vanilla and lavender show subcategories.
