How to use and override V5 template

Reuse the predefined template

  • To reuse the predefined template, just override the theme method and set your custom HTML to the available variable of the template.
  • Example: To reuse the header.ftl template in getHeader method.
@Override
public String getHeader(Map<String, Object> data) {
    data.put("header_classes", "navbar");
    data.put("header_inner_before", "<div class=\"navbar-inner\"><div class=\"container-fluid\">");
    data.put("header_inner_after", "</div></div>");
    data.put("header_info_after", "<a id=\"mobile_menu\" class=\"btn btn-navbar\"><span class=\"icon-bar\"></span><span class=\"icon-bar\"></span><span class=\"icon-bar\"></span></a>");
    data.put("header_link_classes", "brand");
    data.put("header_info_classes", "inline-block");
    data.put("header_name_classes", "inline-block");

Override or replace the predefined template

  • To override or replace the predefined template, you just need to create your own template using FreeMaker syntax.
  • Example: Using a custom template file in getHeader method.
@Override
public String getHeader(Map<String, Object> data) {
    return UserviewUtil.getTemplate(this, data, "/templates/userview/customHeader.ftl");
}
