    Continuing my Widgets struggle here as although I asked about it on NodeBB forum, I still have remaining areas of confusion.
    I dont find the menu intuitive. In particular now Ive understood that the global .tpl will apply everywhere, are these Category / Topic settings irrelevant?

    Excuse the blurry photo, but what is the point of that
    Category 0
    Topic 0
    If its going to apply globally anyway?

    @Panda is there any reason not to include a screenshot rather than a photo of the screen? It’s a bit hard to decipher a blurry image 🙂

    Apologies, was having technical difficulties with laptop with no PrtSrn button!
    widget.png

    Update
    There are tpl files for category and categories
    It seems this field works under category.tpl and not categories.tpl

    Im confused what the categories.tpl is for, but the category.tpl is working now, so problem solved

    @Panda category is for a category in its own, so for example, “fruit” whereas categories is the page that contains all categories as a list.

    @kadir-ay-0 marking as resolved based on https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17109/manual-build-a-night-mode-for-harmony/5 Please do not raise requests in two places - here and the NodeBB forums. All this does is create unnecessary load for both parties.

    @Roki-Antic Welcome! This site isn’t running Persona, but Harmony - a very heavily customised version at that. Do you have a URL where your site is currently located that is publicly accessible? Feel free to PM this info if you do not want to disclose here. Happy to help with any customisation needs.

    @eeeee said in restarting nodebb on boot: can I just run nodebb under nodemon for auto restarts? It’s a better method. Nodemon just looks for file system changes and would effectively die if the server was rebooted meaning you’d have to start it again anyway. Systemd is the defacto standard which is how the operating system interacts in terms of services, scheduled tasks etc.

    @qwinter this particular site uses the code I wrote if you want to see it in action. It’s a information and intelligence gatherer I designed for collecting various information security articles from around the globe and consolidating them in one place. Essentially, each “post” is in fact generated by the script, and the NodeBB API. https://hostrisk.com/
