Re: Help needed to create a customized template with jahia

Hi,

You can't just add new templates in the template.xml file because it  
is read only at deployment, when expanding files from the JAR lying in  
"TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/jahia/WEB-INF/var/shared_templates". To include a  
new template file into an existing set already deployed in Jahia, you  
have to register the template using Administration -> Site settings ->  
Manage templates.
There you can manually add a new template file that you created inside  
the existing template directory for the appropriate site.

Here is an example :
Supposed you've created a site called "mySite" using the default  
templates packaged with Jahia 5 (the package name is  
"corporate_portal_templates_v2"), you should have this directory :  
"TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/jahia/jsp/jahia/templates/mySite/ 
corporate_portal_templates_v2"
Into this directory, you can add JSP files that will be used as  
templates but only if you add them manually using the site  
administration (see above).
So for example, if you want to add the file "newTemplate.jsp" to the  
template set for the site mySite, just fill the fields using these  
values :
Template name : New Template
Template Folder : /corporate_portal_templates_v2
File Name : newTemplate.jsp
Don't forget to check "Available to users" as well.

Then press "Save" and you should get a successful deployment message.

Don't forget that any change made this way won't impact the template  
JAR file lying in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/jahia/WEB-INF/var/ 
shared_templates, and therefore any other site using the same template  
set won't have the new templates you added for the site "mySite".

I hope this is enough, don't hesitate to ask if you have further  
questions.

Regards,

Romain
