Hi,The directory shared_templates is read once at startup. It contains all the templates that are shared between sites, but it concerns only site creation. Then, the template package is copied into the "TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/jahia/jsp/jahia/templates/siteName/ templatePackageName", and only modifications in this very directory will affect the given site. The directory new_templates is for hotdeploying JARs into an existing site. Just put a JAR file in it, and the file will be expanded and moved into "TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/jahia/jsp/jahia/templates/siteName/ templatePackageName". The file template.xml contained in the JAR will be read in this case, allowing the deployment of several templates at once without using the administration panel. That is if the "Automatic Deployment Mode" option has been checked (it is by default) in the Templates management options (Administation -> Site settings -> Manage templates. Otherwise, if the JAR is still present in the new_templates folder, it should appear in the "Deploy new templates" section.
I hope everything's clear :) Cheers, Romain Le 24 juil. 08 à 15:02, Nitin Aggarwal a écrit :
Hi, Thanks that's really helpful.It does not completely solve my issue though that was another challenge i was facing. which now i got resolved thanks to the elaboration provided byyou. Well this is one way to add a custom jsp template. i mean here we are editing the default corporate_portal_templates_v2 But, i am more concerned how do i completely personalise my template. i want that i load the template initially when i create a new site. Which location do i need to place it for that? I am confused between Tomcat_home\webapps\jahia\WEB-INF\var\new_templates and Tomcat_home\webapps\jahia\WEB-INF\var\shared_templates or is it some other directory. Romain Felden wrote:Hi, You can't just add new templates in the template.xml file because itis read only at deployment, when expanding files from the JAR lying in "TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/jahia/WEB-INF/var/shared_templates". To include anew template file into an existing set already deployed in Jahia, youhave to register the template using Administration -> Site settings ->Manage templates.There you can manually add a new template file that you created insidethe existing template directory for the appropriate site. Here is an example : Supposed you've created a site called "mySite" using the default templates packaged with Jahia 5 (the package name is "corporate_portal_templates_v2"), you should have this directory : "TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/jahia/jsp/jahia/templates/mySite/ corporate_portal_templates_v2" Into this directory, you can add JSP files that will be used as templates but only if you add them manually using the site administration (see above). So for example, if you want to add the file "newTemplate.jsp" to the template set for the site mySite, just fill the fields using these values : Template name : New Template Template Folder : /corporate_portal_templates_v2 File Name : newTemplate.jsp Don't forget to check "Available to users" as well. Then press "Save" and you should get a successful deployment message. Don't forget that any change made this way won't impact the template JAR file lying in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/jahia/WEB-INF/var/shared_templates, and therefore any other site using the same templateset won't have the new templates you added for the site "mySite". I hope this is enough, don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions.

I have created a sample template copying the default template and making a few changes in that according to my org. but the main problem is if i add a new entry in the templates.xml <template browsable="1" visible="1"> <parameter name="name">gat</parameter> <parameter name="filename">gat.jsp</parameter> <parameter name="display-name">Gat</parameter> </template> and added a new folder in the templates home directory named mytemplate-->gat.jsp gat-->gat.jsp -->definitions.inc -->eventlistner.inc it has 3 files gat.jsp definitions.inc and eventlistner.inc where do i add stuff in order to try my new fields and containers which i want to add. if i add them in definitions.inc i am unable to see them... my major concern is how do i test things so that i can understand what i am doing. can any one through some light ?
