A question was posed to me about doing this kind of thing for forums. I'm 99% sure that I can hit naked APIish JSON calls for nodebb, but wasn't sure about anything beyond that?

Has anyone worked in this manner ?

Not sure I understand, as NodeBB is an SPA...

Is it? I must be parsing the source bad - or using a different definition.

My read of NodeBB has it still largely rendering on the node side, rather than the broswer aside from the web sockety stuff.

templates.js is a hybrid client/server templating engine (or rather, it is platform agnostic, as it is just plain javascript). It runs on server-side when you cold-load a page, and runs in the browser when navigating between pages.

@psychobunny can provide more details upon request

This would explain my confusion.

Good. Less work for me.

@jim-bridger said in How do I update my custom theme?:

Does that mean my theme would be listed in everyone elses plugin list? It's a custom theme for my site, not something I want to publish

Yes, that is correct. Because you've published it to npm, our package manager automatically picks it up as an available theme and offers it for download to any other NodeBB.

You can set nbbpm.index to false in your package.json, but this would also remove the theme from your plugins list.

The easiest thing to do would be to publish the theme under your own namespace (agian, with nbbpm.index set to false), and then install it via the command line, as @pitaj suggested.

e.g. npm i @jimbridger/nodebb-theme-mytheme
