[Xerte-dev] Re: How to create a new template?

[Tom Reijnders]

It's been a while that I did this myself, so ehmm yes, you need to copy the
tempaets as well.

Setting it to active isn't always enough, you have to set access to '*' as
well (I hope that makes sense to you)

 Thanks for that.

 I've tried to follow your instructions but have hit some problems:

 1. just copy the parent_template/Nottingham folder to a new folder in
parent_templates

 So I don't need to worry about creating anything in the templates folder to
match what's in parent_templates?

2. go into management.php, and rescan the templates  
 Did that, and my new template appears in the list on the Management pages,
but does not appear in the list available to the end user. I've made sure it's
set to active, so I'm not sure what I've done wrong there.

3. edit to you hearts content  
 I see what you mean about maintenance - the design doesn't appear to be
separated from the functionality, so it looks like new functionality might be
added to Nottingham that doesn't get reflected in designs using the new theme?

 Something else to add to the wish list.

 Thanks,

 Mark

should try to improve on the process. But there are other aspects of Xerte
that are more important (I think) at the moment.

Point is, it's not hard to do:

1. just copy the parent_template/Nottingham folder to a new folder in
parent_templates
2. go into management.php, and rescan the templates
3. edit to you hearts content

The difficulty is the (long-term) maintenance....

 I need to create a new look and feel for Xerte learning objects that will be
used across all new LO's.

 It's basically going to be the normal Nottingham HTML5 design, but with
tweaks to brand it.

 Is there a recommended way to do this?

 I'm finding it hard to work out which bits of the code-base hold the relevant
CSS, and then how to add a new "template(?)" so it can be used by the learning
designers.

 Thanks,

 Mark
