Custom templates
In Lizmap each module (i.e., view, admin, action, etc.) defines some templates. Templates of each module are located in
lizmap/modules
folder. Each module has one or more templates (.tpl) in the templates folder
lizmap/modules/moduleX/templates/
. In order to customize the template of a module it is advisable to create a
copy of the files without modify the original files. To do this, it is necessary to create a copy of the templates
inside the default theme’s folder of Lizmap, which is in var/themes/default
.
Pré-requisitos
A folder with the same name of the module to which the template to redefine belongs, in the
var/themes/default
folder.
Configuring the tool
Simply copy the template to redefine in the module folder and customize it with a text editor.
Exemplo
We want to change the default title in the header of the main page of lizmap. The «view» module and the main.tpl
template are involved in this procedure. We can see the name of the module in the URL bar (myhost/lizmap/index.php/view/
).
Create a directory named view in the theme’s default folder
nano mkdir lizmap/var/themes/default/view
Copy the
main.tpl
file from the default location inlizmap/modules/view/templates/
to thelizmap/var/themes/default/view
folder
cp lizmap/var/themes/default/view/main.tpl lizmap/var/themes/default/view
Find the title div and replace the original code with your custom text
<div id="title">
<h1>{$repositoryLabel}</h1>
</div>
<div id="title">
<h1>Some Text</h1>
</div>
Done!
