I don’t see how this code isn’t doing what I expect. It seems to work over at w3schools. head_tag.html const user = api.getCurrentUser(); const { setDefaultHomepage } = require('discourse/lib/utilities'); console.log("Primary group: " + user.primary_group_name); console.log('full map: ' + settings.group_homepage_map); if (settings.group_homepage_map && settings.group_homepage_map_enabled) { const map = settings.group_homepage_map.split("|"); var two = map[1]; console.log("Hello world!"); console.log("hello? " + map); console.log("my map zero: " + map[0]); console.log(map[0]); console.log(map[1]); console.log(String('some text')); console.log("wwf: " + map[0]); console.log('two' + map[1] + 'one'); console.log("first group: " + map[0].split(',')[0]); console.log("first url: " + map[0].split(',')[1]); console.log("second: " + map[1]); console.log("thing: ", map[0].split(",")[1]); } if (settings.home_url_override && settings.home_url_override_group.length == 0 ) { setDefaultHomepage(settings.home_url_override); } All that’s showing up in the javascript console is this: Primary group: lastone full map: lastone,c/transcription/5|testergroup,latest hello? lastone,c/transcription/5,testergroup,latest my map zero: lastone,c/transcription/5 lastone,c/transcription/5 wwf: lastone,c/transcription/5 first group: lastone So it appears that I cannot log just a string, and I can’t access item [1] of an array. The gods must be crazy.

It’s a map of a group to their desired home page. description: "group,c/cat/5|group2,c/cat2/6" So I’m splitting on | to get each pair and then split those on the , to get group → c/cat/5 group2 → c/cat2/6 But that doesn’t explain why console.log("Hello world!"); isn’t producing text. . .

That would tell me the code isn’t getting executed. Does a console.log fire if you’re outside the if statement?

Thanks, Justin! I’ll give it a shot, but many of the logs in that same block are getting called. And logging a setting) string doesn’t die but a string plus a string on a variable does fire.

Did you mean to split by |? Why not ,?
