[nodebb-plugin-custom-pages] does it support restful parameters?

[Bruce Lee]

Is it possible to present the content (but same page) based on restful parameters?

Example, http://127.0.0.1:4567/game/:name; where

• http://127.0.0.1:4567/game/dota -> show dota game contents
• http://127.0.0.1:4567/game/hearthstone -> show hearthstone game contents

The template for the page /game is the same but the content differ. Instead of creating multiple pages / routes for various games, can the plugin process the restful parameters and render the content accordingly. Is it possible with [nodebb-plugin-custom-pages] plugin?

Please advise me, thanks.

@psychobunny can you advise me with codes example on how to process the parameter?

This isn't a templates.js issue really, this is a feature of express

Try this: http://expressjs.com/en/guide/routing.html#route-parameters

@PitaJ I understand that it is definitely possible with express. Thanks

However, I'm trying to use the plugin [nodebb-plugin-custom-pages] that @psychobunny has built to achieve the same goal instead of re-inventing the wheel. So my question is whether is it possible to process the restful / query parameters in [nodebb-plugin-custom-pages].

If its possible, is there any example configuration (in the plugin) and codes, showing the entry point to process the parameters. If not possible, then I will go back to use express router to handle the restful parameter and render the template.

[PitaJ]

Yeah, I just read the title and realized I totally failed to answer your question. Anyways, I don't believe that this is possible with that plugin.

@PitaJ No worries, thanks anyway.
