Modify login page in included themes on Ginkgo

[Emeric LEBON]

Hi. I'm posting here because I can't find a solution to my problem and maybe you can help me.

I'm using OpenEDX Ginkgo on a native installation. I've setup comprehensive theming and I'm using the embedded "edge.edx.org" theme. I wanted to modify the default login page (which I believe is "login.html") on the LMS part, so I've copied it from the generic templates directory to the theme directory. 

I've edited it the way I want (actually I want people to only use OAuth so basically the only thing I did was removing the form and the attached javascript code), and I started the theme compilation using "paver update_assets lms --settings=aws --debug" and restarted the LMS. But it doesn't seem to work, the login page isn't modified. I tried to do the same with "registration-form.html", but I get the same result

Modifying the generic template doesn't work either. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something but I can't find what. Can anyone help me on this?

EDIT: i wanted to say that I originally posted this to the code group, but after noticing that this kind of question is asked there then I decided to recreate my topic here. 

I've found out that the login page isn't the "login.html" file found in the templates directory but rather the "student_account/login.underscore" file. 

What is the purpose of the "login.html" file then ? Where is it used ?

I don't have a direct answer to this question, but there have been a lot of changes to the front-end of Open edX, including moving to Bootstrap, so it's possible the file has been deprecated.

hi,

In the urls.py, an view is specified for login_and_register.html.

edx-platform/lms/djangoapps/student_account/views.py

line 170: response = render_to_response('student_account/login_and_register.html', context)

check:

edx-platform/lms/templates/student_account/login_and_register.html

line 35:  <%static:include path="student_account/${template_name}.underscore" />

login.underscore is rendered.

FWIW, I discovered that the include directive includes files from the edx-platform even if you have the file in your theme. I copied the entire student_account directory into my theme and modified the login_and_register.html and login.underscore files. Changes to the login_and_register.html file were seen in my theme, but the mods to login.underscore were not.  I added a comment to the login.underscore file from edx-platform to confirm that that was the one that was being included.

Still searching for a way to include the *.underscore files from my theme.

I should also mention that I'm running the Hawthorne release using the Bitnami image.
