RequireJS example doesn't work

It happens because this piece of code in injected into common.js and reaches the client.

// Create a simple path alias to allow browserify to resolve
// the runtime on a supported path.
module.exports = require('./dist/cjs/handlebars.runtime');

Error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: module is not defined(anonymous function) @ common.js:6658

Render particular page without layout?

How to render a page without layout? Without header and footer?

500 Error: Cannot find module 'handlebars' / Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'handlebars'

Hey, I hope this is the appropriate place for this. I've been looking to convert a few of my personal projects from straight node/backbone to rendr, and I'm really excited about it. I've been having a few issues getting the examples to run though.

I'm not clear on why this is happening (I'm not very familiar with broswerify) but the example apps don't seem to be seeing the handlebars module. I'm guessing that the actual version of handlebars they're supposed to be using is in rendr-handlebars, but when I do a fresh git clone of the examples, cd into one of them and npm install everything seems to go well, but whenever I go to any of the pages I get a 500 Error: Cannot find module 'handlebars'.

I can get around it by simply doing an npm install handlebars, but this seems to be covering up the root issue, because when I then go to the page I've got an Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'handlebars' in the console, which seems to be preventing it from running properly as every page is getting pulled down from the server (presumably because the Backbone app isn't actually running.)

I've got a compiledTemplates.js file, so the grunt handlebars stuff seems to be working fine.
I'm guessing this is just something I'm doing wrong, but I don't think I missed any steps in the example docs.

Rendr 1.0 Breaks SPA functionality

Using either initialize instead of postinitialize or rendr 1.0, breaks the single page app functionality and loads all resources upon any navigation.
The issue started with this commit: 281cb14

Using Gulp

Have anybody tried compiling using Gulp?
I tried Gulp, but with no luck and everytime when I try http://localhost:3030
I get:

500 TypeError: object is not a function

Does anybody know when could be a problem? I tried same project with Grunt from example and it's working.

Upgrade dependencies to the latest modules

I currently have a fork at roncli/rendr-examples that upgrades all of the modules to their latest versions. This also fixes some outstanding issues reported by other users as well, as my goal was to get everything working, including the karma tests in examples 00 and 06.

However, three bugs are preventing me from actually creating a pull request for this:

• rendrjs/rendr#379 - This allows rendrjs to use express 4.
• joeybaker/remapify#7 (which depends on benbria/aliasify#13) - This fixes a bug on Windows and a security issue on all OSes related to browserify.
• (FIXED) node-config/node-config#123 - This fixes a bug related to empty YAML files being passed into node-config.

Once these three pull requests are accepted, I will create a pull request here that will upgrade the dependencies of the examples to all of the latest modules.

My code should also resolve #1, #2, and #3, and the pull request will supercede #4 and #5. Of course, if you accept #4 and #5, I will merge those in to my code as well.

~ bad karma ~

Just got this. Haven't tried to fix it yet...

Problem: Unable to understand the difference between examples

I am researching for an isomorphic solution for my next web app and rendr fits 100% on our use case.
But while looking to the examples isn't clear what are they trying to accomplish since it all seems the same project.
Would be nice to have something on the project readme,
