[BUG] Custom theme installation paths

[miguelangelch]

Describe the bug We have developed a custom theme for CKAN: https://github.com/perecanet/ckanext-stomallorca_theme

Based on the Dockerfile extension example, we have installed some extensions included the custom theme. This is the Dockerfile:

The build works, we are able to generate the Docker image, and run the docker compose, however, checking the CKAN website we see that the style is mixed between the custom theme and the original theme:

Why?

Seems that the default templates and public paths are /srv/app/src/ckan/ckan/public and /srv/app/src/ckan/ckan/templates, however, the installation of the custom theme plugin is stored in /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ckanext/stomallorca_theme/ which contains the public and templates folders must use.

We have tried to change the default paths for public and templates but is not able to change it so we have keep it as default:

CKAN__BASE_PUBLIC_FOLDER = public
CKAN__BASE_TEMPLATES_FOLDER = templates

@miguelangelch the location of the templates can be changed in the dockerfile RUN ckan config-tool "${APP_DIR}/production.ini" "ckan.template_directory = /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ckanext/stomallorca_theme/templates"
