PostCalendar v8.0.0 Customization: Overriding PostCalendar Templates and Stylesheets

Overriding Stylesheets (css)

This is the easiest and most quickly beneficial customization you can make to your installation of PostCalendar. If the only thing you want to change is colors, this is all you need to do. You do need to understand css a little. The colors are clearly labeled in the stylesheet.

  • Create a directory in your theme themes/<yourthemename>/style/PostCalendar/
  • Copy modules/PostCalendar/style/style.css to themes/<yourthemename>/style/PostCalendar/style.css

Now, you can modify the PostCalendar stylesheet in your theme all you like. (make sure your changes will be seen immediately)

Overriding Templates

This is a bit more complicated and will require a working knowledge of Smarty and HTML. In order to override a template, you must make an entry in your config/tempalte_overrides.yml file and then put a copy in that location and modify your copy.

Warning

When you upgrade PostCalendar, you have to remember to remove your overrides and then check them to see if they are still valid before using them with a new version.
