How to change or modify a default theme

[Sergey Kolosovski]

Hi Cornelius!

Could you please shed some light on the topic of how to change the default theme?

I know there's a doc http://privacyidea.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation/system/inifile.html?highlight=bootstrap which says that this is pretty simple, just specify a path to your bootstrap theme in PI_CSS and that's it.

I tried to place a file called "bootstrap.css" taken from http://bootswatch.com/ to the newly created privacyidea/static/custom/css/ folder then specify

PI_CSS = '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/privacyidea/static/custom/css/bootstrap.css

then issued

service nginx restart

this didn't affect the look of PI but I checked source of a web-page:

<link href="/static/contrib/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="/static/contrib/css/bootstrap-theme.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

1) seems that PI ignored the PI_CSS setting because I specified one path but in html code is another

2) There are two .css files being used - bootstrap.css and bootstrap-theme.css. Which one should be taken and  maybe replaced from  http://bootswatch.com/? Which one suppose to be replaced with the one specified in PI_CSS?

HI Sergey,

the 2nd stylesheet is the theme stylesheet and is set according to the
settings.
See the template:
https://github.com/privacyidea/privacyidea/blob/master/privacyidea/static/templates/header.html#L21

This is set in the controller:
https://github.com/privacyidea/privacyidea/blob/v2.9/privacyidea/webui/login.py#L46

But your issue arises from the fact, that you do not need to restart
nginx (as this only works as a proxy) but you probably need to restart
uwsgi.

Kind regards
Cornelius
