Installing plugins directly into node_modules/ will not be deprecated, as that is how regular plugins are installed 😄
[nodebb-plugin-42] custom nav items, footer, copyright html

Was wondering when you were going to officially release it. Grats on your win
-
well, im still paranoid about it as it has some issues, and some of its features are hacky
-
Just installed it, restarted the server (forever start app.js), but still can't see it in the ACP. Do I have to do something else for it to show up?
Edit: Never mind. Have to activate it, then clear the browser cache.
-
On clicking on it under Plugins, I get the page shown in this screen shot. And this happens with all the plugins I've installed, except the RSS plugin. Any ideas?
-
Away from keyboard, @planner hmm maybe something has changed in
/admin/routes, I'll investigate later tonight -
@planner After activating a plugin, you'll need to restart your NodeBB server so that the page will appear in the ACP.
-
I tried testing this on the lavender theme but for some reason the add links do not appear in the navbar ? Any ideas or is it just me
-
@xCausxn you some times have to wait quite a long time for the effects to show on your site, sometimes hours
-

-
@julian ugh... can't you automate that?
-
It's something I'd like to address... except right now I have no idea how to do it. The problem lies in the fact that I only have one chance to add routes (like js/css/static routes) per plugin, and that's at app start. Enabling and disabling plugins requires adding and removing routes respectively, and I can't do that while the app is running.
There are some strategies, but I haven't had a decent enough block of time to actually get down and experiment
-
@dove That has no effect unfortunately

@StuartH @dove @xCausxn @planner
pushed some major changes to this plugin just now, but i had to break backward compatibility, so you will loose your settings once you upgrade. if you have some large text entered in there, save it in a text file, then re-enter it after upgrade. it's at 0.2.0 now and you will need to
npm installif you are git cloning the repo, if not,npm upgrade nodebb-plugin-42should do the job.give it a shot, let me know if you having more issues, activating still requires a restart, but saving the settings should reflect immediately, if not try another restart after saving. caching and minification processes are not very clear to me yet.
I will add an upgrade process soon so it won't break backward compatibility and won't pollute your databases with obsolete configs, probably with NodeBB 0.4.0 release.
-
Thanks @bentael will try it today
-
@StuartH i pushed few more fixes to the -42 plugin at 0.2.5 now, once again, i broke backward compatibility. But I think I fixed why the footer code takes so long to show up.
-
I just upgraded the nodebb to the lastest version v0.4.3. It seems to me that the installation of plugin-42 will cause errors.
-
@DennisSun Isn't compatible with latest, I seem to recall the developer of that plugin not wanting to release it as it's a cheap hack. Which portion of that plugin did you want to use?
-
@a_5mith hi, i need to edit the htmls to add some analytics as well as SSO services in, which are not supported by the plugins.
