# WebSVN Templating System

## Introduction

The documentation of the variables for each template is currently not up to date due to major changes on the trunk. User defined templates will not work with the current development version.

Everyone wants their view onto their SVN repository to fit in with their look and feel. With WebSVN's templating system this is very possible.

To create your own templates, you first need to change your config.php file to tell WebSVN where the templates are stored. For example:

    $config->setTemplatePath("./templates/calm/");

This directory should contain at least the following files:

header.tmpl
  Header template included before any other
footer.tmpl
  Footer template included after any other
index.tmpl
  The main project page template
directory.tmpl
  Listing of a directory
log.tmpl
  Log of a directory or file
file.tmpl
  Contents of a text file
diff.tmpl
  Differences between text files
blame.tmpl
  Blame information for a file

Each template file should be written in HTML, but is allowed to contain certain WebSVN controls. There are two control types, commands and variables.

## Commands

NOTE: Commands MUST appear on their own line

    [websvn-test:varname]
    ...
    [websvn-else]
    ...
    [websvn-endtest]

If the variable is non-0 write out the first part else write out the second

    [websvn-startlisting]
    ...
    [websvn-endlisting]

Used in pages that contain listings of files, logs, etc. Everything between the controls is repeated for each item in the list

    [websvn-defineicons] (used in directory.tmpl only)
    ...
    [websvn-enddefineicons]
    ...

    [websvn-treenode]
    [websvn-icon]

These commands are used to display certain icons next to certain file types in the directory view.

The [websvn-defineicons] block should contain a line for each file type, defining the HTML to be used for that file type. To define the HTML for a particular extension use the syntax:

    .<extension>=<HTML code>

There are also some special filetypes:

dir=<HTML code>
  is used for directory icons
diropen=<HTML code>
  is used for open directory icons
*=<HTML code>
  is used for all filetypes which have no other definition
i-node
  | shaped node of the tree view
t-node
  T shaped node of the tree view
l-node
  L shaped node of the tree view
e-node
  Empty node of the tree view

Example from the BlueGrey scheme:

    [websvn-defineicons]
    dir=<img align="middle" valign="center" src="[websvn:locwebsvnhttp]/templates/BlueGrey/folder.png" alt="[FOLDER]">
    diropen=<img align="middle" valign="center" src="[websvn:locwebsvnhttp]/templates/BlueGrey/folder-open.png" alt="[FOLDER]">
    *=<img align="middle" src="[websvn:locwebsvnhttp]/templates/BlueGrey/file.png" alt="[FILE]">
    .c=<img align="middle" src="[websvn:locwebsvnhttp]/templates/BlueGrey/filec.png" alt="[C-FILE]">
    .h=<img align="middle" src="[websvn:locwebsvnhttp]/templates/BlueGrey/fileh.png" alt="[H-FILE]">
    .s=<img align="middle" src="[websvn:locwebsvnhttp]/templates/BlueGrey/files.png" alt="[S-FILE]">

    i-node=<img align="middle" border="0" width="24" height="26" src="[websvn:locwebsvnhttp]/templates/BlueGrey/i-node.png" alt="[NODE]">
    t-node=<img align="middle" border="0" width="24" height="26" src="[websvn:locwebsvnhttp]/templates/BlueGrey/t-node.png" alt="[NODE]">
    l-node=<img align="middle" border="0" width="24" height="26" src="[websvn:locwebsvnhttp]/templates/BlueGrey/l-node.png" alt="[NODE]">
    e-node=<img align="middle" border="0" width="24" height="26" src="[websvn:locwebsvnhttp]/templates/BlueGrey/e-node.png" alt="[NODE]">
    [websvn-enddefineicons]

Inside the [websvn-startlisting] block, the command [websvn-treeview] will output the HTML code defined for the appropriate tree view icon. [websvn-icon] will output the HTML code defined for the type of the current file.

    [websvn-getlisting] (used in file.tmpl only)

Get the contents of the file being viewed and output it exactly (surrounded with <PRE> .. </PRE>).

## Variables

Variables are written in the form [websvn:varname] where varname is the name of a variable passed to the template. The control is replaced with the variable required.

The variables available are described below for each template. You may also access the language file using [lang:varname] is order to keep your templates international!

Take special notice of the use of the locwebsvnhttp variable. It should be used to locate other files and graphics that your templates need. For example:

    <link href="[websvn:locwebsvnhttp]/templates/tmptname/styles.css" ...

You may imagine that simply using . in place should work, however this isn't the case when MultiViews are turned on. Using this variable gives you a way to access your template files in all cases.
