What would you recommend to achieve dynamic templating (via ACP/Plugin Settings)?

Problem:
Not every user will enjoy template that plugin provides from the box.

You want to change the templates of other plugins or your own?

My case is to provide text-area for the user in ACP, so user for example can "change template" of rendering list item.

For example one possible solution:
1. Store template markup in settings, and ask user to reload NodeBB.
2. In static:load use file system instruments to rewrite template.
But I'm not happy with such solution

You can do that by registering a new settings plugin. Just add the registerPlugin call before you do your settings.sync()

In the plugin, map the name/value pairs to an array using jQuery, then add the current value to the array.
settings.registerPlugin({ types: ['mySelect'], // This is your data-type for the <select> set: function (element, value, trim) { // Here we set the options based on the name/value pairs that were saved previously. element = $(element); if (value) value.forEach(function (mapping) { if (mapping.name === 'value') { element.val(mapping.value); }else{ element.append('<option value="'+mapping.value+'">'+mapping.name+'</option>'); } }); ////////////////// // Here you probably want to append any default options if they don't already exist. ////////////////// }, get: function (element, trim, empty) { // Here we get the mapping for saving into the database. element = $(element); var value = []; element.children().each(function (i, option) { option = $(option); value.push({name:option.text(),value:option.attr('value')}); // Get the text and value of each <option> }); value.push({name:'value',value:element.val()}); // Get the current value. // return the mapping. return value; } });
In the template, you would just do this:
<select data-type="mySelect" data-key="something"></select>

Just create a tpl file with the name of your page in the plugin and will be fine. Can be the same cose as the template already included

@Shaun when 0.5.0 is released, their will be full documentation, but the process will be something along the lines of
git checkout v0.5.x git pull ./nodebb upgrade
But their will be an announcement about all of that and how to update when it's ready. If you have any other issues with plugins etc, feel free to create a topic. 👍
