Trying out the new custom-homepage feature: DEV: allow themes to render their own custom homepage by pmusaraj · Pull Request #26291 · discourse/discourse · GitHub :tada: @pmusaraj I wonder what’s the best approach to add components? So adding the custom-homepage modifier enables the discovery.cu…

I tried with the Featured Lists component, it already has a setting to show the component everywhere.

Hi can you please explain how to add a component( search banner or a custom component already installed on forum) inside the home.hbs file to make it show on new custom homepage thanks

[image] Penar Musaraj: The sample-list component there should pull in only topics with the featured tag, but it doesn’t (it pulls in the first 3 topics for me). As mentioned when there’s multiple iterations it works on the subsequent ones and only the first time the filter is not applied. So…

Sounds like a cache that needs warming.

Yeah it has to do with how we preload data. I have a PR ready with a potential fix: DEV: Extract theme resolution to a helper by pmusaraj · Pull Request #27426 · discourse/discourse · GitHub Will merge early next week.

Seems to work for me.. Do you already render another component? I think there was the issue that it only works with one. Or it’s because I’m only using it on stable right now.
