Themes¶

What themes are available?¶

We provide the following themes as base templates for Django Church. Each of them contains a static and templates directory, with all the files needed for the standard Django Church applications:

• Bold
• Fresh
• Calm
• House
• Light

Theme installation¶

We’ll use the House theme as an example.

In the root directory of your Django Church project, run the following commands:

$ curl -sL https://github.com/djangochurch/djangochurch-theme-house/tarball/master | tar zxv
 ...
x djangochurch-djangochurch-theme-house-1852fc3/templates/pages/
x djangochurch-djangochurch-theme-house-1852fc3/templates/pages/default.html
$ mv djangochurch-djangochurch-theme-house-* theme

Simply replace house with one of the other theme names to install another theme.

Theme customisation¶

If you want to change the HTML files or other static files for a theme, we recommend that you copy the file from the theme directory into your project directory before editing it. By default Django will use templates from the site template directory before the theme directory.

As an example, if your project was mychurch, you’d copy the original theme/templates/base.html to mychurch/templates/base.html.
