Trying out the new custom-homepage feature: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/26291 :tada: @pmusaraj I wonder what’s the best approach to add components? So adding the custom-homepage modifier enables the discovery.custom route and shows a default info alert, rendered on the custom-hom…

Another observation: I put a link on the sidebar using the /custom url: [image] It’s not highlighted when on the custom route. If I understand the logic with the sidebar highlights correctly, it should also be highlighted when on the root url /.

I see your issue more clearly after having a quick look at the Featured Lists component. One option is to refactor that component and have it output all of the lists into one Ember component. Then you could add that component to a plugin wrapper outlet. Another option is to add a second plugin outl…

[image] Penar Musaraj: Yeah, that can be tricky. In my local test just now, /custom there doesn’t work properly. It’s better to use /, that routes correctly. But it still doesn’t highlight. That seems to be a common issue. If I use /it also doesn’t highlight other routes set as the landing pa…

Presumably this page is “superficial” in that it will appear for the user but not for “Googlebot” and so won’t be indexed?

Correct, yes, for the crawler view I have opted to outputting just the top menu. Can’t really know from the Rails app what a theme will output in this route. [image] Manuel Kostka: If you consider adding another outlet or changing the outlet setup, I could give some more feedback from using it …

An issue I came across: I wanted to display the Homepage Feature component on the custom homepage. But then topics are not filtered on this route. The component just shows any recent topic that has an image. The code on the component is: const topicList = await this.store.findFiltered("topicLi…

Interesting, I’m not sure why that is, maybe there’s some logic in the topicList store that is tied to the discovery routes? The custom homepage is not a discovery route. I’m curious, does that same component with the params work fine in say an admin route? Or user profile route? Any chance you can…

I tried with the Featured Lists component, it already has a setting to show the component everywhere. This doesn’t include admin routes, but I tried on all others (static pages, user profiles,…) and it seems to work everywhere expect the custom homepage. The other weird thing is, as mentioned, that…

I found a little tricky to reproduce this properly with the Featured Homepage component, it mixes in too many other conditions. I can easily reproduce with a stripped down component though. I pushed this into a sample repo here: GitHub - pmusaraj/discourse-sample-custom-homepage The sample-list co…
