Further Widgets question

Solved Configure
  • Pandaundefined

    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 🙂

    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.

    @dave1904 I’d start by adding a console.log function to hookData so you can see what is being returned

    return hookData; console.log(hookData):

    So although thats a plugin it has Widget like element and stopped working on the Theme change

    Which is normal based on the widgets being reset when you change themes.

    @eeeee if you’re using the console, you could try

    node app.js > app.log 2>&1

    This would redirect stdout to a file named app.log and redirect stderr to stdout.

    I’m not sure about standard logging under NodeBB, but there is an error log located at logs/error.log.

    Failing that, you could always stop the NodeBB service then use ./nodebb dev from the console which would then provide debug output.

    The real issue here is that most people consider forums to be “dead” in the sense that nobody uses them anymore, and social media groups have taken their place. Their once dominant stance in the 90’s and early 00’s will never be experienced again, but having said that, there are a number of forums that did in fact survive the social media onslaught, and still enjoy a large user base.

    Forums tend to be niche. One that immediately sticks out is Reddit - despite looking like it was designed in the 80s, it still has an enormous user base. Another is Stack Overflow, which needs no introduction. The key to any forum is the content it offers, and the more people whom contribute in terms of posting , the more popular and widely respected it becomes as a reliable source of information.

    Forums are still intensely popular with gamers, alongside those that offer tips on hacking etc.
