custom_appearances_helper - initial implementation

[janbraiins]

Hi,

would you include the following class that allows customizations of the sign-in page? I have find out that the extra_sign_in_text option:

• doesn't seem to work in CE edition 7.8.2
• it would still leave some generic text as can be seen in /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/app/views/layouts/devise.html.haml

The new class simply deploys a custom appearance helper (I deploy it simply after the main gitlab class) as follows:

  class { 'gitlab' : 
    puppet_manage_config            => true,
    puppet_manage_backups           => true,
    puppet_manage_packages          => false,
    gitlab_branch                   => '7.8.2',
    external_url                    => 'http://gitlab.example.org',
  } ->
  class { 'gitlab::custom_appearances_helper':
    brand_title => 'Braiins GitLab',
    brand_image => 'http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/4d358f7a202bff084b04851eee7f957b?s=200',
  }

I know this maybe a bit controversial as it makes the CE edition branded. The comfort of setting this up is still not as good as in the enterprise edition so it shouldn't matter that much.

Let me know, if you don't like it - I would create a separate module for it or leave it in my separate branch. I just still think it wonderfully extends your modules functionality.

Best regards,

Jan
