This page gives suggestions on how to customize the look of Trac. Topics include editing the HTML templates and CSS files, but not the program code itself. The topics show users how they can modify the look of Trac to meet their specific needs. Suggestions for changes to Trac's interface applicable to all users should be filed as tickets, not listed on this page.

== Project Logo and Icon

The easiest parts of the Trac interface to customize are the logo and the site icon. Both of these can be configured with settings in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini].

=== Logo
|
|
|
Change the `src` setting to `site/` followed by the name of your image file. The `width` and `height` settings should be modified to match your image's dimensions. The Trac chrome handler uses `site/` for files within the project directory `htdocs`, and `common/` for the common `htdocs` directory belonging to a Trac installation. Note that 'site/' is not a placeholder for your project name, it is the literal prefix that should be used. For example, if your project is named 'sandbox', and the image file is 'red_logo.gif' then the 'src' setting would be 'site/red_logo.gif', not 'sandbox/red_logo.gif'.

|

|

|
|
=== Icon
|
|
|
Icons are small images displayed by your web browser next to the site's URL and in the `Bookmarks` menu. Icons should be a 32x32 image in `.gif` or `.ico` format. Change the `icon` setting to `site/` followed by the name of your icon file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{{#!ini
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
[project]
|
|

icon = site/my_icon.ico

== Custom Navigation Entries
|
|
|
The new [mainnav] and [metanav] can now be used to customize the text and link used for the navigation items, or even to disable them, but not for adding new ones.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the following example, we rename the link to the Wiki start "Home", and hide the "!Help/Guide". We also make the "View Tickets" entry link to a specific report:
|
|
|
{{{#!ini
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
[mainnav]
|
|
|
wiki.label = Home
|
|
|
tickets.href = /report/24
|
|
|
|
|
|
[metanav]
|
|
|
help = disabled
|
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
See also TracNavigation for a more detailed explanation of the mainnav and metanav terms.

Notice that XSLT bears some similarities with Genshi templates. However, there are some Trac specific features, for example the `${href.chrome('site/style.css')}` attribute references `style.css` in the environment's `htdocs/` directory. In a similar fashion `${chrome.htdocs_location}` is used to specify the common `htdocs/` directory belonging to a Trac installation. That latter location can however be overriden using the [[TracIni#trac-section|[trac] htdocs_location]] configuration setting.

`site.html` is one file to contain all your modifications. It usually works using the `py:match` directive (element or attribute), and it allows you to modify the page as it renders. The matches hook onto specific sections depending on what it tries to find and modify them.
|
|
|
See [http://groups.google.com/group/trac-users/browse_thread/thread/70487fb2c406c937/ this thread] for a detailed explanation of the above example `site.html`.
|
|
|
A `site.html` can contain any number of such `py:match` sections for whatever you need to modify. This is all Genshi, so the [http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/Documentation/xml-templates.html docs on the exact syntax] can be found there.

Example snippet of adding introduction text to the new ticket form (but not shown during preview):
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{{#!xml
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
<form py:match="div[@id='content' and @class='ticket']/form" py:attrs="select('@*')">
|
|
|
<py:if test="req.path_info == '/newticket' and (not 'preview' in req.args)">
|
|
|
<p>Please make sure to search for existing tickets before reporting a new one!</p>
|
|
|
</py:if>
|
|
|
${select('*')}
|
|
|
</form>
|
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
This example illustrates a technique of using `req.path_info` to limit scope of changes to one view only. For instance, to make changes in `site.html` only for timeline and avoid modifying other sections - use `req.path_info == '/timeline'` condition in `<py:if>` test.
