Description

I'm attempting to use custom extra_links.tmpl file with gitea but it doesn't seem to load.

I've put the file in custom/templates/custom/extra_links.tmpl. It's content is included below:

<a href="#">TEST URL</a>

If I copy over the base templates from source to /custom/templates/ the footer custom template then loads.

Do I need to copy over all the templates from source to custom/templates/ in order for custom templates to work? Or is this something not supported in 1.3 (head.tmpl doesn't seem to have anything for it in the 1.3 branch).

I think extra_links template was added only 1.4
