header.tpl changes

[baris]

There are some changes to header.tpl. If you have your custom theme with header.tpl, you should modify the <script> block in it to match the following.

<script>
 		var RELATIVE_PATH = "{relative_path}";
		var config = JSON.parse('{configJSON}');
		var app = {};
		app.user = JSON.parse('{userJSON}');
</script>

See here for a sample in lavender.

We still have the app.uid, app.username and app.isAdmin properties but these will be deprecated in a future release, please use the app.user object from now on, it also has the app.user.isAdmin property.

Current master has these changes and is compatible with vanilla 0.2.5 and lavender 0.2.5.

@baris I started working on a more SEO friendly theme/plugin. I hoped I could keep all the changes within a lavender derived theme, but I cannot. Some changes will be in the core. FOr example, server side rendered pagination. I am looking for some advice on how to coordinate making changes in a theme and core nodebb?
