How add another route with another .tpl file

[Doppy]

I need to create another route for show another html result. So I define my new route in my library.js

plugin.init = function (params, callback) {
	params.router.post('/user/plugins/answer/home', controllers.renderTest);
	callback();
};

In controller I have create my method:

Controllers.renderTest=function(req,res,next){
	db.getObject('....', function(err, data) {
		if (err) { return next(err); }
		res.render(/user/plugins/test', data);
	});
};

My test.tpl page is in /templates/user/plugins and now in my test.tpl page is:

<p>test</p>

My plugin.json is:

	"staticDirs": {
		"static": "./static"
	},
	"less": [
		"static/style.less"
	],
	"scripts": [
		"static/lib/admin.js",
	],
	"templates": "static/templates"

So I go at the address http://IPADDRESS/user/plugins/answer/home and I see "/user/plugins/answer/home Not Found Not Found" . Anyone can help me?

So I go at the address http://IPADDRESS/user/plugins/answer/home

You've registered a POST route but trying to access it via browser request I assume.
POST is for sending data to the server, you need a GET route for the default behavior of your browser.

// replace this
params.router.post('/user/plugins/answer/home', controllers.renderTest);
// with this
params.router.get('/user/plugins/answer/home', controllers.renderTest);

thanks frissdiegurke I try your solution and It's work but when I go on the link I see the page and the write, but the background is white, i lost the header and the footer of nodebb. Can you suggest something to do for have the background forum and in the center put my .tpl page?

As of the source code of nodebb-plugin-custom-pages (which may fit your needs anyways) I assume you just need to add the buildHeader middleware.

plugin.init = function (params, callback) {
  params.router.get('/user/plugins/answer/home', params.middleware.buildHeader, controllers.renderTest);
  callback();
};
