I like this platform but documentation and standards is not that good. But hay! Something is good

Thanks, i will take a look at it and howl if I get stuck

@yariplus any simple plugin of yours that use this on github so I can sneek peak Thanks for this solution.

hi, I mean someting like

<script>
require(['admin/settingsplugin'], function(Settings) {
Settings.prepare('pluginname');
});
</script>

A default save system as with admin/settings but for plugin data save from the acp. the setting.prepare is nice but only works for config. it would have been nice to have plugin ssve as as core function of nodebb.

There may be many ways todo this but i hope you understand what I mean

or... maybe the same

Settings.prepare('config') and Settings.prepare() saves to config ... and
Settings.prepare('pluginname') saves to the plugin document and not config document.

Improve the feat of Settings.prepare hehe

ok, maybe we can update to quickstart plugin to something that make sense.

have the standard folders in the plugin root. Whats the difference between the lib folders

Root

• templates
• static
• lib
• acpscripts
• scripts

And maybe have the doc info in the readme for this plugin.

Writing Plugins for NodeBB — NodeBB 1.x documentation

Yeah I know, will update later.

Anyone running Nodebb 1.11.2 with nodejs version 8.12 ? Does it work? Or do I need to update to 8.14 ?

A few questions. Is the folder standards uptodate in this plugin.

1. Why is the template folder in static
2. Why is there lib in both root and static

Is it just random hierarchy or does it exist a why for this? I know i cant specify any path myself but it would be nice to follow a standard.

I know, there are more important questions to answer but I am just curious

Yes but i still need admin.js in my plugin folder. V1 works without any extra files at all. So i guess Nodebb core has no code for default plugin settings as v1 has.

<script>
require(['admin/settings'], function(Settings) {
Settings.prepare();
});
</script>

There is no admin/plugin-settings by default.

This saves the settings for my plugin in v1 (config document)

But I would like to save settings so its uptodate with latest standards. I guess settings:postlink should be the correct one in my case. I want to have minimal code and everyting in the template file.

Ist there any settings.prepare func for the newer settings framework.

@yariplus any tips?

To get the data I think i will use meta.settings.get. Can I use meta.settings.set in the tpl file?

Is there no default plugin settings in nodeBB
