Custom base template

[Martijn vdv]

Is there a way to change the - rather standard - layout of the wiki?

I know there's something with boxes, but it looks like we need to make custom url routing rules (e.g catch view vs. edit) and re-implement templates for multiple pages. I just want to edit the base template.

Can someone point me into the right direction here?

Hey Martijn, 

sure, waliki tries to be very customizable. it uses standard django templates with a simple inheritance tree. 

Its something like this

base.html <- site_base.html <-  waliki/base.html <- waliki/detail.html  <-  waliki/edit.html  

                                               

(As a rule of thumb, every other template for a page inherits from waliki/detail.html)

you can browse them here 

https://github.com/mgaitan/waliki/tree/master/waliki/templates

So, you can override any of them, . For example, Python Argentina's site (www.python.org.ar), has it own waliki/detail.html

https://github.com/PyAr/pyarweb/tree/master/templates/waliki

In addition, there is a concept of "entry points" in waliki's templates. This allow plugins to "add content" (for example in the page footer) without override the whole template. 

As the whole plugin API is very clunky this could be changed in the future, but for now could be helpful . 

Here is some docs about this feature.-

cheers
