Pagure via flask-multistatic offers the possibility to override the default theme allowing to customize the style of your instance.
By default pagure looks for its templates and static files in the folders
pagure/templates and pagure/static, but you can ask pagure to look
for templates and static files in another folder.
By specifying the configuration keys THEME_TEMPLATE_FOLDER and
THEME_STATIC_FOLDER in pagure's configuration file, you tell pagure to
look for templates and static files first in these folders, then in its
usual folders.
Let's take an example, you wish to replace the pagure logo at the top right of all the pages.
This logo is part of the master.html template which all pages inherit
from. So what you want to do is replace this master.html by your own.
mkdir /var/www/mypaguretheme/templates mkdir /var/www/mypaguretheme/static
cp /path/to/your/my-logo.png /var/www/mypaguretheme/static
master.htmlcp /path/to/original/pagure/templates/master.html /var/www/mypaguretheme/templates
- <img height=40px src="{{ url_for('static', filename='pagure-logo.png') }}"
+ <img height=40px src="{{ url_for('static', filename='my-logo.png') }}"
+ THEME_TEMPLATE_FOLDER='/var/www/mypaguretheme/templates' + THEME_STATIC_FOLDER='/var/www/mypaguretheme/static'
Serving static files via flask is fine for development but in production you will probably want to have apache server them. This will allow caching either on the server side or on the client side.
You can ask apache to behave in a similar way as does flask-multistatic with flask here, ie: search in one folder and if you don't find the file look in another one.
An example apache configuration is provided as part of the sources of flask-multistatic.
