gitiles and gitiles plugin

[Björn Pedersen]

Hi,

I have some troubles with the gitiles plugin:

I try to get some custom styling for the gitiles pages, but run into troubles:

It seems there is a customTemplate config var and a customHeader var to select an alternative heading.
But that seems not to work the way I tried it:
  in etc/gitiles.config:
       [gitiles]
              customTemplates =some path
              customHeader= my name

and a soy  file defining my header variant. But I get no change...

Then I tried to  build a custom gitiles with a modifed header template. The template then takes effect.
But I observed 404 for all http://localhost:8088/plugins/gitiles/+static/*.css files,
so the  styling is not really applied.

And hints and ideas?

If you're running on a Gitiles plugin from 2.11/master around this time, the plugin build was broken to a point where it would not include static resources with the plugin. This was fixed by the change:

https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/70030

Try updating to at least that and let me know if it works!  I'm not sure why the gitiles.config would be ignoring those header directives, though; I've not personally tried them myself.

Hi,

Yes, the static Ressources are working again.

The custom template is found as well, just setting the variant does not seem to work.

Hi,

I am still struggling to get the customHeader setting to work.  From reading the code again it seems the setting is taken from the git-config per repository. But somehow that does not seem to work, either.
