> [web] Make default template customization for level 0 users simpler
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LABS-395
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LABS-395
> Project: Labs
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Magma
> Affects Versions: Current
> Reporter: Simone Gianni
> Fix For: Next
>
>
> Currently Magma offers quite a large degree of template customization.
> A template is composed of a java class that aggregates contents and an HTML
> file that styles it (eventually with its css files and other resources).
> Moreover, the templates must be "pushed into play" by using an aspect. Either
> a simple one installing the new template as the default one, or a more
> complex one using the specified template only under specific circumstances
> (like a certain part of the site).
> Writing a java class and an aspect is beyond the user 0 abilities, and is
> generally a pain when people first arrive to Magma.
> It would be quite simple to make it easier to customize the default template,
> given that each fragment adds (or will add) stuff to it by default.
> Following steps may take place :
> - CSS only customization
> ... creating a custom.css file, perform customization of the default template
> CSS
> ... creating a template.css file, overwrite default template CSS completely
> - HTML and CSS customization
> ... creating a template.html file, overwrite the default template completely,
> meaning also different CSS files might be picked up
> - JAVA customization
> ... creating a Template.java class, override the default template aggregation
> Apparently the only missing thing is the aspect, in reality the thing goes a
> bit beyond that and relies on resource precedence.
> - The DefaultTemplate should by default use a custom.css file if present,
> that way if the user provides it on the classpath it will override template
> settings.
> - The template.html and template.css files currently used should be moved
> (together with the newly created custom.css) to a simpler place on the
> classpath, instead of org/apache/magma/website/template
> - The getDefaultTemplate method should look for a Template class, again in a
> simpler "package", and use that instead of the DefaultTemplate if found.
