Does anyone have a full list of templates I can use in my custom theme?

For example:
- /templates/alert.tpl
- /templates/categories.tpl
- /templates/category.tpl
etc

@julian thanks! I was wondering if that is the entire list or does NodeBB core look for any more (that might not be used by Persona)?

@julian Right, I understand. It just makes it difficult to migrate from a more traditional forum like phpBB (which is the most, or perhaps second-most, used forum software today). I think making it easier to migrate from phpBB's format could only help nodeBB gain more ground 🙂 Here is the github issue I opened a couple weeks ago. It was closed, though I hope we can reopen it. I'm more than willing to contribute. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

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

Ok, this works
  (Sub-forums:  <a href="\{relative_path\}/category/{categories.children.slug}" itemprop="url">{categories.children.name}</a>  ·  )  
Just put it somewhere between  and  in home.tpl

And take both \ from {relative_path}.. it seems that nodebb parses it... so I had to type...

Ya, so I was dumb...I have a local dev instance and a staging server. I was playing around with some things and forgot to switch the theme back to vanilla which explains why I was missing the navbar for the login screen...boo me.

But yes, thanks for pointing that out. The template engine and middleware are making a lot more sense now after looking through the source for the last 2 days...

I'm going to start looking to add/update the documentation here soon...some of the stuff can drive you crazy if you aren't familiar with the version changes.

Also, after reading through most of core at this point I have to say it's an impressive piece of kit. Thumbs up to the core devs. @julian @baris @psychobunny

EDIT: Also, anyone else who comes across this thread...if you really want to save yourself some time banging your head against the wall -- like I did -- take a few days to really dive into the nodebb source. It has been a good lesson in object-oriented javascript -- so many objects 🙂 -- done right. I've realized I'm approaching things more from a functional perspective, so this has been an eye opener for me.
