Hi,
I'm looking to do some radical customisation of the Postorius (and Hyperkitty) templates over the next 6 ish months and was wondering if there is a 'best practice' way to do this that will survive updates to MM3. I've searched around and not found much and also tested copying venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/postorius/templates/postorius/lists/summary.html to var/templates/lists/summary.html
As suggested in some posts - but it didn't seem to pick up the customisation - only customisations in the venv path worked - and they get overwritten on update.
The var/templates directory has a specific structure and is only for custom list specific, domain specific and sitewide templates used for notifications from Mailman core. It has nothing to do with Postorius or HyperKitty templates.
Is there a 'best' way for this? I'd also like to eventually share them with the community and maybe add them to the repo if people want that....but for now I'll start with my own experiments. (and if there is documentation I have missed for this, let me know!)
I don't know about a best way, but the way I do this is to keep all
local mods as patches to the base and apply those patches as part of the
upgrade process.
