Hi. I’ve been working with FlowRouter and I’m working on a “userpage” that will show the the posts and comments created by a specific user when the user’s name is clicked.
I tried implementing the techniques but I was unsucesdful. Can you help me?
This is what I’ve done so far;
I created a “userpage” template.
And then I made a route;
FlowRouter.route('/arguement/:username', {
name: 'userpage',
action: function(params) {
BlazeLayout.render("layout", {main: "userpage"});
}
});
And then I made a helper for the template;
Template.userpage.helpers({
argument: function() {
// Finds a post with the _id value set to the _id paramater from FlowRouter's URL.
return Posts.find({ username: FlowRouter.getParam('username') });
}
});
The posts are iterated on the template like this;
{#each argument} ... {/each}
And the URL to the template is presented in the html as this;
{{pathFor 'userpage'}}/{{username}}
After all this, the “userpage” template appears blank when visited. The appropriate username does appear in the URL but only the layout shows up.
I’m wondering if there’s a mistake here.
I implore your generous continued assistance. After a few examples, I will be more experienced to tackle similar problems.
Thanks.
