# Custom files for git.friendi.ca

These are the custom files for git.friendi.ca, which override the default template files of Forgejo.
The content of the `custom` directory is mounted inside the Docker container at `/var/lib/gitea/custom`.

## Translation

Translation of the strings can be done at [Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/Friendica/friendica/) with the rest of the project resources.

## Workflow

1. Update the strings at the top of the `generate_home_tmpl.py` file — those that start with a `str_` in the name.
2. Extract them with `pygettext -p ./lang/C/ generate_home_tmpl.py`
3. Commit the new `messages.pot` file and push it to the repository at git.friendi.ca
4. Wait for Transifex to pick up the changes and the translation teams to make the new translations
5. Download the finished translations to `lang/$langcode/LC_MESSAGES/messages.pot`
6. Edit the `messages.pot` file and set the character set to UTF-8:
   `"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"`
7. Convert the `messages.pot` file to `messages.mo` using `msgfmt messages.pot`
8. Run `python3 generate_home_tmpl.py` to recreate the `custom/templates/home.tmpl` file
9. Upload that file and copy it to the `custom/templates/` directory of the gitea instance.
