JForum Templates

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

I have designed some Templates for PHPBB and WBB, but in the current Project we switch to JForum. I have done a Design for the Project Forums and want to copy the Design to JForum.

I�ve done some workarounds for features in the WBB Design like the Stats Display (Top Left one) moved to the top and will displayed in the header.tpl instead of index.tpl on any section in the Forums. For this i�ve made some Code changes in the PHP Source Code of WBB. My fearnis is to make this in the JForum Java Code too...

Is my fearnis right to change some Code to move Global Template Variables into other Templates?

You can show the Design, i want to move 100% and 1:1 to JForum here:

Update:

I spend some time on the implementing and experimented with the templates. Some things and bugs i expirience in the woltlab forums are in jforum to and need workarounds or hinds.

Some Questions: I only want to display the time with the global: ${I18n.getMessage("ForumListing.date")}: ${now}
How to do it?

How can i register the Globals: ${usersOnline} ${stats.topics} ${mostUsersEverOnline} ${I18n.getMessage("Admin.welcome.numTopics")} ${totalMessages} for *all* template files?

I defined the ${I18n.getMessage("ForumBase.privateMessages")} in the Options Bar but the Message Count is displayed behind the Text (apply a {0} in the de_DE.properties wont help)

Thanks /Spyme

Most if your needs requires changes to the core code, as you want to display pieces of information that currently are available to a single action in other actions.

You can register your wishes at http://www.jforum.net/jira , adding as "New Feature" / "Improvement request"

Thanks for your answer, Rafael.

You don�t have to improve this changes to a upcomming Release, because this "minor changes" are done by a littlebit help and Information. Also you can improve or add it too, while the mention of a Template System means the Globals can use all around the Templates and help the Designers.

I tryed to wrote down the Changes in the Jira as an improvement but by sending the request a Error occurs:
Errors

* Reporter: Reporter is required.

Please, can you list me the files where the functions & actions are called to show the requestet Information? (where the global variables will be defined, like $showtopics or $usersonline)
I will add some workarounds to these files so i can call the variables in all templates.

Thank you

To make something available to all templates, you have to use Configurtion.setSharedVariable() - that's a freemarker thing.

Take a look int he "ControllerUtils.java" class
