Front end customization

Do you want to customize your instance ? Here is a step by step guide.

Step 1. Understanding

For your information, you can overide any view in our app by replicating the view structure from app/views to app/custom_views/.

You can also overide locales by replicating the locales structure from config/locales to config/custom_locales.

So let's imagine you want to customize the app/views/root/_footer.html.haml. Here is how to do:

$ mkdir app/custom_views/root
$ cp app/views/root/_footer.html.haml app/custom_views/root

And voila! You can edit your own template. No need for env var, no need to worry about conflicts.

Now let's imagine you want to customize the config/locales/links.fr.yml. Here is how to do:

$ cp config/locales/links.fr.yml config/custom_locales

And voila! You can now edit your own locales.
