NAME RT-Extension-ExampleTheme - Example Theme Extension DESCRIPTION RT::Extension::ExampleTheme is a small example of the customizations users can make to change the look and feel of RT. These changes are saved as a theme for others to use. RT VERSION Works with RT 4.2, 4.4 INSTALLATION perl Makefile.PL make make install May need root permissions Edit your /opt/rt4/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm Add this line: Plugin('RT::Extension::ExampleTheme'); Clear your mason cache rm -rf /opt/rt4/var/mason_data/obj Restart your webserver CONFIGURATION To set this theme as the default RT theme (optional), add the following line to your RT_SiteConfig.pm Set( $WebDefaultStylesheet, ('example-theme')); Individual users can also select the theme they want on their preferences page. EXAMPLE CONTENT This extension provides some examples of ways to customize the style of RT. You can find more information in the RT Style Documentation . CSS To change the appearance of RT, you can modify any CSS files you copy from one of RT's base themes. In addition to copying and modifying the CSS set by RT, you can add your own and even do things like hide parts of the RT UI. See static/css/example-theme.css for an example of hiding the "Priority" field. Javascript RT uses jQuery, which provides many tools to modify the RT UI via javascript. To see an example of changing a label with jQuery, see static/js/example-theme.js, which changes "The Basics" on the ticket display page to "Ticket State". The trickiest part is often getting the selector right. AUTHOR Best Practical Solutions, LLC BUGS All bugs should be reported via email to L or via the web at L.
