app.current.currentTag() breaks links to user Profile etc...

WhatX

So I'm trying to call app.current.currentTag() in my extension.
However when doing so it breaks the links in the dropdown menu to get to the users Profilepage, settings etc...
If i wrap this method in a window load function it works but then I'm unable to use the properties in the returned tag in my JSX code because doing so prevents me to even surf to that tag in the browser.

Is there any better way to approach this problem, what am I doing wrong?
How should I use methods and property values in the app object correctly in my extension?

Would be easier if we could see some code. ?

Without seeing any code, my best guess is that you need to check that app.current is an instance of the IndexPage component before trying to access the currentTag method:

if (app.current instanceof IndexPage) {
  const tag = app.current.currentTag();
}

Thanks for your replies,

Toby Unfortunately it still breaks the Flarum menu and doesnt navigate to users profile etc when clicking the links in the dropdown of the user when checking the instance. I do however get the currentTag. The only problem is that the links stop working and that the menu breaks when clicking on them.

This is the code im using atm:

override(IndexPage.prototype, 'view', function(view){
var newView = view();
var tagName = m.route().split("/").pop();
var discussionsCount = app.cache.discussionList.discussions.length;
var currentTag;

if (app.current instanceof IndexPage) {
  currentTag = app.current.currentTag();
} 


newView.children[0] = 
<div class="container">
   <div class="mdl-grid" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #7c7c7c">
   <div class="mdl-cell mdl-cell--2-col"></div>
   <div class="mdl-cell mdl-cell--10-col">{currentTag.data.attributes.description}</div>
   </div>
</div>
return newView;

});

It seems like it only breaks when running app.current.currentTag() before the window load event. If I check for the load event everything works if I remove this in the view: {currentTag.data.attributes.description}
Should it not be possible to do it this way? Should I instead insert values from currentTag with a traditional document.getElementByid(id).innerHTML or with m.render for example?
