Title:
Allow /local and custom theme override of Plugin templates
Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
Confirmed
Bug description:
One of the handiest features for site admins to tweak their Mahara
site without making hacks that make upgrades difficult, is the
relatively obscure local theme overrides feature:
https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/Customising/Themes/1.2#Local_theme_overrides
Theme support is there, but you have to put the theme template
dirctories under the plugin's own theme directory. i.e.
artefact/internal/theme/primary/static/templates/content.tpl . So,
this is handy for plugin authors, but not for custom theme developers.
I propose the following:
1. We allow for /local overrides of plugin templates. The path should
be local/theme/templates/{plugintype}/{pluginname}/{template} . Or in
the case of plugins that live underneath other plugins (i.e.
blocktypes under artefacts)
local/theme/templates/{plugintype1}/{pluginname1}/{plugintype2}/{pluginname2}/{template}.
So:
local/theme/templates/artefact/internal/content.tpl
local/theme/templates/artefact/internal/blocktype/textbox/content.tpl
2. For custom themes, we take a similar approach:
theme/{themename}/static/templates/{plugintype}/{pluginname}/{template}
theme/aaronstheme/static/templates/artefact/internal/content.tpl
theme/aaronstheme/static/templates/artefact/internal/blocktype/textbox/content.tpl
And in order of precedence:
1. /local theme overrides
2. custom theme located under /theme directory
3. theme template files locate under plugin's directory
