custom templates #1963

New Issue

Did you restart gitea after you made changes in the custom folder? From what I understand the changes you make to the templates while gitea is running are not being picked up.

@jsargent7089 are you putting the contents of templates/base/footer.tmpl into templates/custom/footer.tmpl? because that sounds like a recursion issue.

Edit: do you see {{template "custom/footer" .}} near the last line of your template?

Question, why was this issue closed? Was there an actual resolution to the issue? Or was it because the reporter did not respond?

I have the very same questions, and nothing I have tried has worked. I have read the document thoroughly, and nothing seems to work. I think we need clarification as to where this custom folder is to be placed.

I am using the docker implementation of gitea, and have tried a number of locations for the custom folder, but none seem to be picked up by gitea. I had a similar issue with labels a while back and sorted it out by looking at source. Haven't been that lucky with templates so far.

I have the very same questions, and nothing I have tried has worked. I have read the document thoroughly, and nothing seems to work. I think we need clarification as to where this **custom** folder is to be placed.

@bkraul questions should be asked in Gitea forum - https://discourse.gitea.io/

As for custom folder it specified in GITEA_CUSTOM variable or by default it is $GITEA_WORK_DIR/custom

Custom templates need to be placed in $GITEA_CUSTOM/custom/templates/custom/ directory
