@PitaJ said in Modify topic title:

./nodebb build -d

I didn't and it helped
So just in case what steps to I have to to when I do what changes?

I currently use npm link for my plugin. I tested that I just have restart nodebb if I make changes to the json files oder js files. For this templates file I needed to link everything again and run this command. Why is this so? Do I have to this every time I add a new file in templates/ every time I do a change in this template file?

Thank you very much for your help, I actually understand now how this complete thing works although I wondered if this is a good ideabecause if there is any update to the theme this part will not get updated, right?

As you said I created from my project folder the file templates/partials/topics_list.tpl and used the content from https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/blob/master/templates/partials/topics_list.tpl

Then I tried some different changes for example in line 63 I added some more bullets after the tags.

<small>&bull;</small>
<small>&bull;</small>
<small>&bull;</small>

Exspecting that there would be three bulls between the tags and the timestamp.

More over I added also the following to plugin.json

"templates": "./templates"

There hasn't changed anything. I had the same problem when I tried to create a settings page. For some reason nodebb seems to ignore everything in templates. I did not get any warning when running ./nodebb dev

Edit: I opended it in the developer console and it was the orginal file and not my modified one. This confirms my theory that nodebb does not take my templates (in general?).

Thank you for your help! The nodebb team definitly should do more work on the documentation, so the community can make better plugins.

I don't understand how I add a new property to the topic object.

  { "hook": "filter:topics.get", "method": "getTopics" },

plugin.getTopics = function(data, callback) {
  var topics = data.topics;

  async.map(topics, function (topic, next) {
		topic.title = '<span class="Label">Label </span>' + topic.title;
		return next(null, topic);
	}, function (err) {
		return callback(err, data);
	});
};

This will add Label in front of each Thread title. But I really have no idea how to append label (separeted with a point) in the row below the title next to the date and name of the author. I tried to find a definition of the properties of the topic object, but couldn't find anything (except from title). Could you show me a small example?

Hi everyone,

I started writing a plugin for nodebb and started with the documentation. Unfortunately, it does not give much information about the nodeBB library. The only thing I could find was a list of all hooks (with broken links and no documentaton).
So my first question is: Where can I find a documentation describing the the hooks and the documentation about async, meta etc.

I want to add something to the topic header. So for example you have the thread title and below the date and the author ... how can I add a third label next to the author (also seperated with a point from the other informations)?
I created a method getTopics (for the hook filter:topics.get) and I found out I can modify the title with topic.title ... But I haven't find a way to access the information below the title.

Thanks!
