Referencing location of files in theme-resources/resources

[Garth]

Crossposting from here: https://keycloak.discourse.group/t/location-of-theme-resources-resources/13135

From the documentation about Theme resources (https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_development/#_theme_resource):

> The easiest way to load additional theme resources is to create a JAR with templates in theme-resources/templates resources in theme-resources/resources and messages bundles in theme-resources/messages and drop it into the standalone/deployments/ directory of Keycloak.

I have a js and css file in theme-resources/resources that I want to reference from my .ftl in theme-resources/templates. When I’m building a login theme, this is achieved by using ${url.resourcesPath}, but that doesn’t work in this case.

Does anyone know the path I can use to reference resource files in theme-resources/resources?

Thank you!

Hello Garth,

I stumbled upon this very same problem a few years ago and couldn't find a direct way to solve this back then, and I think it's still not explicitly supported at the moment.

However, I found another way of providing extension specific resources by shipping a custom theme with the extensions with the resources. This gives you a predictable name to refer to resources.

This old post contains an example for this: https://lists.jboss.org/archives/list/keyclo...@lists.jboss.org/message/7WGCJQG72MKHWMEPCGOF7WHIINI2VEIR/

However I think the resource lookup should be extended to also be able to lookup resources from the themes-resources folder of an extension jar. This would make it much easier to ship 

self-contained extensions with UIs.

Cheers,

Thomas

Wow. Great sleuthing. As you say in your post, it's a "hack", but works! Thanks for the workaround.
