The default template is now a blank one. To change templates, add the uibuilder node to your flow, set the URL as you want it and then deploy.
Then go back into the editor panel and click on the Templates title and choose an appropriate template. Hit the load button noting the warnings that this will completey replace any existing code (so back it up first if you want to keep it).
You will probably want one of the VueJS templates given your description.
everything looks ok now but when i run my uibuilder set up it displays on the webpage correctly but is receiving no input from node-red and still says Node initialised under the node and not connected 1 as the others do?
