Hi,I'm new to nodeBB and I was trying to develop on Intellij.
I simply add Configuration for Grunt using the default Grunt.js in the nodeBB folder.
But I noticed something was different between running Grunt and running "nodebb --dev start".
I wrote an empty plugin using "nodebb-plugin-quickstart". It works normal on "nodebb-dev-start".
But,when I use Grunt to run it,it says "warn: [upgrade/appendPluginScripts] Unable to read plugin.json for plugin nodebb-plugin-fr-exam. Skipping." And all the sudden,the empty plugin I modified doesn't work anymore.No settings on ACP , no consoles on pages(I modified from nodebb-plugin-quickstart).
What exactly did I do wrong?
I'm pretty sure the dev group is using Grunt since the building process is annoying.There's no reason I can't use Grunt ,right?Please help.

Hi I'm a beginner and I'd like to create a forum with nodebb.

Though nodebb is great but I need some major changes,and I 'm getting more and more confused. The documents needs to be more specific.
. e.g I 'd like a new hompage,and some other functions (an exam system).

• Do I need to develop a new theme for that? or a new plugin?

• If I want to add some new pages to it,should I just create some tpl files?

• What do I do to connect these tpl files? Register them in Router.js file?
  e.g. I'd like to modify categories(which is the default home page for nodebb),but I don't see any in dir "views". I found one named "categories.tpl" in dir "build ".But can I modify it?Aren't those files in dir "build" automatically built by "build" command?
  I'm quite lost.Could anyone just give me hint or something? Thanks.
