To add custom HTML to the header or the footer of the page, in the `templates/custom` ### Adding links and tabs
directory there is `header.tmpl` and `footer.tmpl` that can be modified. This can be
a useful place to add custom CSS files or additional Javascript.
If all you want is to add extra links to the top navigation bar, or extra tabs to the repository view, you can put them in `extra_links.tmpl` and `extra_tabs.tmpl` inside your `custom/templates/custom/` directory. If all you want is to add extra links to the top navigation bar, or extra tabs to the repository view, you can put them in `extra_links.tmpl` and `extra_tabs.tmpl` inside your `custom/templates/custom/` directory.
For instance, let's say you are in Germany and must add the famously legally-required "Impressum"/about page, listing who is responsible for the site's content:
just place it under your "custom/public/" directory (for instance `custom/public/impressum.html`) and put a link to it in `custom/templates/custom/extra_links.tmpl`.
To match the current style, the link should have the class name "item", and you can use `{{AppSubUrl}}` to get the base URL:
`<a class="item" href="{{AppSubUrl}}/impressum.html">Impressum</a>`
You can add new tabs in the same way, putting them in `extra_tabs.tmpl`.
The exact HTML needed to match the style of other tabs is in the file
`templates/repo/header.tmpl`
([source in GitHub](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/master/templates/repo/header.tmpl))
### Other additions to the page
Apart from `extra_links.tmpl` and `extra_tabs.tmpl`, there are other useful templates you can put in your `custom/templates/custom/` directory:
- `header.tmpl`, just before the end of the `<head>` tag where you can add custom CSS files for instance.
- `body_outer_pre.tmpl`, right after the start of `<body>`.
- `body_inner_pre.tmpl`, before the top navigation bar, but already inside the main container `<div class="full height">`.
- `body_inner_post.tmpl`, before the end of the main container.
- `body_outer_post.tmpl`, before the bottom `<footer>` element.
- `footer.tmpl`, right before the end of the `<body>` tag, a good place for additional Javascript.
