Views doesn't work if the main app's default view engine is not jade

[rawiroaisen]

Please change

_render: (req, res, template, locals) =>
res.render path.resolve(__dirname, '../views/', template), locals

to

_render: (req, res, template, locals) =>
res.render path.resolve(__dirname, '../views/', template + '.jade'), locals

(added '.jade' suffix)

in file src/index.coffee
in line 314

PS: I don't know how to make pull requests...

The issue is fixed now: There's a .templatesPath that defaults to ./views/%s.jade inside the module directory, one can also override it to set his own views. I will close this issue and the pull request.

Thank you for taking the time and helping the development of this module! :)

I'm using nunjucks as my default view engine and when I go to /admin I get a template not found error: "template not found: /home/joe/Documents/chipin/node_modules/penguin/views/index.jade"
I have given all access penguin/views folder. Can you please help me with that issue? Thanks.

Hi @joejean

You can specify the templatesPath options, for e.g.:

path = require('path')
penguin = require("penguin")
admin = new penguin.Admin {
  templatesPath: path.resolve(__dirname, '../views/', '%s.html')
}
...

Assuming that your nunchucks templates have .html extensions and are in views folder one level up.
node-penguin will replace the %s with the name of the required view.

Hope this helps!
