Basically, an upvote kind of thing could work but it might not be obvious to users.
I need something that will be obvious to users, that they are upvoting a certain comment.
Much better if the first post is the vote and they can comment all they want below that but vote on the first post.
Create custom route in plugin
-
You define routes in your load hook. So your library.js might look like this:
var Plugin = module.exports = {}; Plugin.load = function (params, callback) { var router = params.router; var middleware = params.middleware; // Define the function that renders the custom route. function render(req, res, next) { // Get whatever data you want to send to the template here. var data = {whatever: 33}; // This is the path to your template without the .tpl, relative to the templates directory in plugin.json var template = 'templatename' // Send the page to the user. res.render(template, data); } // This actually creates the routes, you need two routes for every page. // The first parameter is the actual path to your page. router.get('/yourpage', middleware.buildHeader, render); router.get('/api/yourpage', render); callback(); };
And your plugin.json would look something like this:
{ "library": "library.js", "hooks": [ { "hook": "static:app.load", "method": "load" } ], "templates": "./public/templates", "staticDirs": { "public": "public" } }
and you would have a template here:
/nodebb-plugin-yourplugin/public/templates/templatename.tpl<h2>My Awesome Custom Page</h2> The Magic Number is: {whatever}
I'm pretty sure I posted about this before, with more details even. Have to start using those canned responses.
