@pitaj Prior to running ./nodebb upgrade I always do apt-get-update apt-get-upgrade so the server is already fully updated.
If there is something else that NodeBB requires then it should be part of the nodebb upgrade command.
Hey Guys, is there anyway to make custom route in plugin? I saw there are navigation tab and home page tab that could add and config new route as plugin, but how could I config the content of the route?
Is there any example to follow?
Thanks!
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.
