This is a page about improving or modifying OpenHatch.
We call that "Hacking OpenHatch," and there is a whole category of pages about that.
The OpenHatch site has a lot of Django template files. This page explains what they are and how they work together.
Background knowledge
This page uses the following terminology:
- A template file is a file (e.g., mysite/base/templates/base/base.html) that usually ends in ".html")
- Our templates make extensive use of template inheritance. You can read more about that in the Django documentation, or in this nice article. The inheritance feature lets use replaceable, named blocks.
- The OpenHatch code is broken up into different Django apps. The LAYOUT file explains these apps a little bit.
