Microdata Implementation
February 27, 2012, 01:21:02 pm
I am looking to implement Microdata, specifically schema.org on my civicrm based joomla site, as I have done on a lot of my Wordpress based sites. However, I am stumped as to where CiviCRM is storing its template files public_html/components/com_civicrm/views/ seems to be missing a substantial amount of code, considering how complex the program is. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where things are stored so I can make the appropriate changes?

I'd happily contribute my changes to the project once I finish them on my own site.

Thanks!
Kevin

Hi,

Not too sure where civicrm is put under a joomla site, but the templates are in smarty format under the templates/CRM folder into civicrm folder.

Our chapter about templates should help you:
http://book.civicrm.org/developer/techniques/templates

Which format you want to add? on event or more? I haven't followed this topic since a few years ago, is this more used by browsers or search engines now?

Look in public_html/components/administrator/com_civicrm/civicrm/templates/ to see the original files. Be sure of course to use a custom directory for your overrides.

Thank you Hershel, when you say use a custom directory for my overrides, how does that work under Smarty? My plan was to go in and just begin editing :-) Will Civicrm pick up the changes from a custom directory to override the original templates?

Yes, you are not the first hacker to discover CiviCRM. But we are prepared for you. :)

Yes. Check out the Directories wiki page. You can use Smarty code in your templates of course.
