Description enaut 2009-01-17 23:02:08 UTC

Hi,

I was searching for a file select possibility to choose a file. The chosen file should be copied to the theme folder and there should be a variable for the xslt file containing the name of this file.

Usecases:
Make a custom background image or something similar.
Let the user chose custom css files over the default ones.

thanks enaut

As of digiKam 6.3.0 the HTML gallery plugin does not offer the ability to define a file-select parameter type within the themeName.desktop file.

However, it would need to be decided whether adding this ability would make sense. Giving a user the option to select a custom CSS file would be interesting until the user needs to make custom image resources available, and then it's not clear how the HTML gallery parameters interface would make that possible (because the gallery interface would have no idea how many files would be needed, so it wouldn't be able to offer parameter fields would be needed).

If a user wishes to see custom CSS in their generated galleries, it's probably better that they read the how-to guide:

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/dplugins/generic/tools/htmlgallery/themes/THEME_HOWTO

and create their own custom theme or style. (Once they've created a custom theme in their home directory, it will continue to be available to them in future runs of the digiKam HTML gallery tool, and will be a lot easier to apply then specifying file paths for stylesheets and image resources.)
