We want to create a website for a client using Magnolia CE. This will be a fairly large, but conceptually simple site that will not require any custom Java to be written. It will be static pages, built using existing components.
However, we will need to do some custom templating and create a custom theme. The documentation states that best practice is to put a theme into it's own module, put templates into their own module, etc. The problem with this for us is it appears that to create our own module(s), you have to create a project, which means starting with a Maven archetype, then bringing everything into an IDE. We'd like to avoid these extra layers of complexity and not have to worry about Maven or using an IDE. We just want to create some custom templates and a custom theme for the new site. Is it possible to do this without an IDE, Maven, etc.? If so, how? Two possibilities spring to mind: 1) Can you create modules manually, without an IDE? If so, is there documentation on how to do this? 2) Can you create custom templates and a new theme just as files in the file system, not in the repository? Then deploy the new templates and theme by just copying these files onto the production server? I remember reading somewhere that Magnolia looks in the file system for templates. Again, if this is viable, how to do it? -- Context is everything: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/forum/thread.html?threadId=dd34e252-b3ef-4548-9ec5-abce35b013d1 ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details, see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/community/mailing-lists.html Alternatively, use our forums: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
