Where exactly can views be found?

[Toby Archer]

Here in the documentation: https://apereo.github.io/cas/5.1.x/installation/User-Interface-Customization-Views.html

The first line says:

The views are found at src/main/resources/templates.

Where exactly is that directory?  I have no such directory in my clone of cas-gradle-overlay-template, I checked the github page, https://github.com/apereo/cas, and couldn't find anything that really made much sense. Theming is my last major hurtle. Any advice is quite welcome.

There is no such directory in the overlay. You need to create one i.e. src/main/resources/templates and then copy the default templates that you are going to be modifying from here: https://github.com/apereo/cas/tree/master/webapp/resources/templates and off you go.

Cheers,

D.

Thanks! but alas, I am not quite off the ground yet. But I feel like it is just a little detail somewhere I'm missing. So in cas-gradle-overlay-template I made src/main/resources/templates. Just to be quick and easy I copied the entire templates directory from the repo listed. So I should have every possible template. I added what appeared to be the appropriate settings:

spring.thymeleaf.prefix=classpath:/templates/
cas.view.cas2.success=protocol/2.0/casServiceValidationSuccess
cas.view.cas3.success=protocol/3.0/casServiceValidationSuccess

I added <!-- sucess! --> to the two views listed above, but my change didn't show up so far as I could tell.

I tried classpath:/templates, and that didn't seem to do anything. When I was working with the service registry and the associated json files it copied the /services/ directory over in the process of building, but that was because it was in etc/cas/config. Incidentally I tried adding the templates directory to that directory. This also didn't appear to have any effect. So I changed the property to spring.thymeleaf.prefix=file:/etc/cas/config/templates, this seems to have worked, but now if I don't include every template blows up instead of using the default one.

No need to set any properties. Get rid of these:

spring.thymeleaf.prefix=classpath:/templates/

cas.view.cas2.success=protocol/2.0/casServiceValidationSuccess

cas.view.cas3.success=protocol/3.0/casServiceValidationSuccess

Now I'm back to nothing appears to be happening. I have:

cas-gradle-overlay-templates/src/main/resources/templates/casLoginView.html
and
etc/cas/config/templates/casLoginView.html

In both of these files I removed the fragment that contains "Links to CAS Resources", specifically this "<div th:replace="fragments/cas-resources-list" />" that should mean that on the default login screen the panel on the right with the list of links disappears. Nothing happens, my alteration is completely ignored. if I set

spring.thymeleaf.prefix=file:/etc/cas/config/templates/

It's buggy, but at least the change is there.

Where does project/build/resources/resource/directory in your pom.xml point to? In my case I had to explicitly add this to project/build:

<resources>
    <resource>
        <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
    </resource>
</resources>

Once I did that Maven merged my changes from the overlay into the WAR file.

Hmmm. I'm using gradle, so I can't quite copy paste that. But that might be what I'm missing. Where did you find such guidance?

I more or less ran into it by accident. I had a mashup of the basic pom.xml from the overlay template and some bits from our old overlay and was trying to troubleshoot why Maven was not copying my views customizations from src/main/resources/ but would copy them (to two different locations in the WAR) if I put them in src/main/webapp/. Eventually I found the <resources> tag in my pom.xml just needed to point to the correct location.

I don't know how this would translate to Gradle, that's an arcane art I've yet to master.
