Nodebb: Selecting category as a homepage

[cryptoethic]

Hey!

There is a bug with selecting category as a homepage:

Moreover after refreshing settings page we can see Custom homepage with category ID:

---

Temporary solution is to set the homepage category only via ID:

Then everything works fine ;-)

In my ACP I can see 404 errors similar to:

/api/category/6&
/category/7&

Maybe there is an error with Uri encoding? Any ideas where to look deeper into it?

Best,
cryptoethic

Seems identical to https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/8168

Correct. In current NodeBB we have:
homePageRoute: ((data.homePageRoute === 'custom' ? data.homePageCustom : data.homePageRoute) || '').replace(/^\//, '')

should be like that?

homePageRoute: ((data.homePageRoute === 'custom' ? data.homePageCustom : data.homePageRoute) || '').replace(/^\//, '').replace('/', '/')

Thanks ;-)

The route was being returned as 'category/6/testing-ground' Pushed the fix to https://community.nodebb.org/ as well.
