extname configuration property doesn't work

I had some Handlebar templates using .hbs so I used the extname config property to adjust the default, but nothing was rendering… so I renamed my templates to .handlebars and rendering works now.

You’ll need to update both the Express’ engine registration, and "view engine" setting to "hbs" as well:

var express = require('express'),
    exphbs = require('express3-handlebars'),

    app = express();

app.engine('hbs', exphbs({extname: '.hbs'}));
app.set('view engine', 'hbs');

[ericf]

app.set('view engine', 'handlebars');

@uxdiogenes this line is the problem. Express’ "view engine" setting needs to match the extname value that you’re setting when configuring Express Handlebars. Note that the preceding "." is not required, Express is smart enough to work when when dot is missing.
