Description

I customize the navbar.tmpl in 'custom\templates\user\settings' to include a link to my own, new settings tab page. But when I add the matching file with the same name in 'custom\public\user\settings' it does not work. Am I doing it wrong?

@DavidGTorner That's simply not possible, since there is no route handler available for the new route. That's the reason why you get a 404 error code.
You can only customize existing templates and not add additional ones.

would it be possible to get some "default unused" custom routes, where the admin could place some custom logic in a file while still being able to use normal release binaries? Like /custom/1/, /custom/2 ?

This would be some kind of plugin system.
There's already an issue about that (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/661), however since go doesn't support it natively on every platform there is currently no way to support that.

As @daviian noted that this should be done as part of #661

Closed as this is marked as won't fix. Another slightly related ticket is #2012
