NodeBB: how to update a template file?

[saikarthik]

Whats the easiest way to update a template file in the cloudron setup?
Is there a way without publishing to npm?

@saikarthik Looks like that per https://docs.nodebb.org/development/themes/#packaging-for-nodebb . They expect themes in npm. But you might want to check in the upstream forum (https://community.nodebb.org/) to confirm.

@girish I was trying to do some testing before publishing to npm.

Anyway, I found another plugin that enables editing templates from the admin panel on NodeBB: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-customize#readme

But it does not seem to update the template files in Cloudron. Is there a way to make this work?

@saikarthik In the ACP, there is a rebuild & restart button, maybe try that?

[saikarthik]

@girish yes, that doesn't work.

The npm way you linked to above works, just FYI.

@saikarthik ah ok, thanks. I guess you have to ask upstream why it's this way.
