Using the new custom-homepage feature

Dev

In the first post there’s a link to Github with comments explaining the feature. I believe this is still an experimental feature and to try it out you need to use and Install the Discourse Theme CLI console app to help you build themes.

As mentioned when there’s multiple iterations it works on the subsequent ones and only the first time the filter is not applied. So it would work when I add an initial dry run to the store:

I don’t know how to properly debug this, but maybe it helps to narrow down the issue.

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.

The PR above has now been merged @nolo, it should fix the issue for you. Thanks again for the report!

I noticed today that adding a component into a route via the new recommended method does not work when using this theme modifier.

import { apiInitializer } from "discourse/lib/api";
import welcomeBanner from "../components/welcome-banner";

export default apiInitializer("1.8.0", (api) => {
  api.renderInOutlet("custom-homepage", welcomeBanner);
});

The only way it works is javascripts/connectors/custom-homepage/welcome-banner.hbs

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.

I’ll have to test out some more, I am not sure why this isn’t working for me atm.
