How to Customize
When a template file is loaded, Django
scans all template directories starting from the ones defined by the user, and returns the first match or an error in case the template is not found.
The theme used to style this starter provides the following files:
# This exists in ENV: LIB/admin_gradient
< UI_LIBRARY_ROOT >
|
|-- templates/ # Root Templates Folder
| |
| |-- accounts/
| | |-- auth-signin.html # Sign IN Page
| | |-- auth-signup.html # Sign UP Page
| |
| |-- includes/
| | |-- sidebar.html # Sidebar component
| | |-- navigation.html # Navigation Bar
| | |-- scripts.html # Scripts Component
| |
| |-- layouts/
| | |-- base.html # Masterpage
| | |-- base-auth.html # Masterpage for Auth Pages
| |
| |-- pages/
| |-- index.html # Dashboard Page
| |-- user-profile.html # Profile Page
| |-- *.html # All other pages
|
|-- ************************************************************************
When the project requires customization, we need to copy the original file that needs an update (from the virtual environment) and place it in the template folder using the same path.
For instance, if we want to customize the index.html
these are the steps:
Step 1
: create thetemplates
DIRECTORY inside your appStep 2
: configure the project to use this new template directory- Edit
settings.py
TEMPLATES section
- Edit
Step 3
: copy thefooter.html
from the original location (inside your ENV) and save it to theYOUR_APP/templates
DIR- Source PATH:
<YOUR_ENV>/LIB/admin_gradient/templates/pages/index.html
- Destination PATH:
YOUR_APP/templates/pages/index.html
- Source PATH:
- Edit the
index.html
(Destination PATH)
At this point, the default version of the index.html
shipped in the library is ignored by Django.
In a similar way, all other files and components can be customized easily.
