Customizing Horizon
===================

Changing the Site Title
=======================

The OpenStack Dashboard Site Title branding (i.e. "**OpenStack** Dashboard")
can be overwritten by adding the attribute ``SITE_BRANDING``
to ``local_settings.py`` with the value being the desired name.

The file ``local_settings.py`` can be found at the Horizon directory path of
``openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py``.

Changing the Logo
=================

There are currently two places where the OpenStack logo is pulled in
through ``horizon.less``. The first is shown at the login screen and the other
on top of the menu bar::

    #splash .login {
        background: url(/static/dashboard/img/logo-splash.png) no-repeat center 35px;

    h1.brand a {
        background: url(/static/dashboard/img/logo.png) top left no-repeat;

To override the OpenStack Logo image, replace the image at the directory path
``openstack_dashboard/static/dashboard/img/logo.png``.

The dimensions should be ``width: 216px, height: 35px``.

Changing the Brand Link
=======================

The logo also acts as a hyperlink. The default behavior is to redirect to
``horizon:user_home``. By adding the attribute ``SITE_BRANDING_LINK`` with
the desired url target e.g., ``http://sample-company.com`` in
``local_settings.py``, the target of the hyperlink can be changed.

Modifying Existing Dashboards and Panels
========================================

If you wish to alter dashboards or panels which are not part of your codebase,
you can specify a custom python module which will be loaded after the entire
Horizon site has been initialized, but prior to the URLconf construction.
This allows for common site-customization requirements such as:

* Registering or unregistering panels from an existing dashboard.
* Changing the names of dashboards and panels.
* Re-ordering panels within a dashboard or panel group.

To specify the python module containing your modifications, add the key
``customization_module`` to your ``HORIZON_CONFIG`` dictionary in
``local_settings.py``. The value should be a string containing the path to your
module in dotted python path notation. Example::

    HORIZON_CONFIG = {
        "customization_module": "my_project.overrides"
    }

You can do essentially anything you like in the customization module. For
example, you could change the name of a panel::

    from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _

    import horizon

    # Rename "User Settings" to "User Options"
    settings = horizon.get_dashboard("settings")
    user_panel = settings.get_panel("user")
    user_panel.name = _("User Options")

Or get the instances panel::

    projects_dashboard = horizon.get_dashboard("project")
    instances_panel = projects_dashboard.get_panel("instances")

And limit access to users with the Keystone Admin role::

    permissions = list(getattr(instances_panel, 'permissions', []))
    permissions.append('openstack.roles.admin')
    instances_panel.permissions = tuple(permissions)

Or just remove it entirely::

    projects_dashboard.unregister(instances_panel.__class__)

You can also override existing methods with your own versions::

    # Disable Floating IPs
    from openstack_dashboard.dashboards.project.access_and_security import tabs
    from openstack_dashboard.dashboards.project.instances import tables

    NO = lambda *x: False

    tabs.FloatingIPsTab.allowed = NO
    tables.AssociateIP.allowed = NO
    tables.SimpleAssociateIP.allowed = NO
    tables.SimpleDisassociateIP.allowed = NO

You could also customize what columns are displayed in an existing
table, by redefining the ``columns`` attribute of its ``Meta``
class. This can be achieved in 3 steps:

#. Extend the table that you wish to modify
#. Redefine the ``columns`` attribute under the ``Meta`` class for this
   new table
#. Modify the ``table_class`` attribute for the related view so that it
   points to the new table


For example, if you wished to remove the Admin State column from the
:class:`~openstack_dashboard.dashboards.admin.networks.tables.NetworksTable`,
you could do the following::

    from openstack_dashboard.dashboards.project.networks import tables
    from openstack_dashboard.dashboards.project.networks import views

    class MyNetworksTable(tables.NetworksTable):

        class Meta(tables.NetworksTable.Meta):
            columns = ('name', 'subnets', 'shared', 'status')

    views.IndexView.table_class = MyNetworksTable

If you want to add a column you can override the parent table in a
similar way, add the new column definition and then use the ``Meta``
``columns`` attribute to control the column order as needed.

.. NOTE::

    ``my_project.overrides`` needs to be importable by the python process running
    Horizon.
    If your module is not installed as a system-wide python package,
    you can either make it installable (e.g., with a setup.py)
    or you can adjust the python path used by your WSGI server to include its location.

    Probably the easiest way is to add a ``python-path`` argument to
    the ``WSGIDaemonProcess`` line in Apache's Horizon config.

    Assuming your ``my_project`` module lives in ``/opt/python/my_project``,
    you'd make it look like the following::

        WSGIDaemonProcess [... existing options ...] python-path=/opt/python


Button Icons
============

Horizon uses font icons (glyphicons) from Twitter Bootstrap to add icons to buttons.
Please see http://bootstrapdocs.com/v3.1.1/docs/components/#glyphicons for instructions
how to use icons in the code.

To add icon to Table Action, use icon property. Example:

    class CreateSnapshot(tables.LinkAction):
       name = "snapshot"
       verbose_name = _("Create Snapshot")
       icon = "camera"

Additionally, the site-wide default button classes can be configured by
setting ``ACTION_CSS_CLASSES`` to a tuple of the classes you wish to appear
on all action buttons in your ``local_settings.py`` file.


Custom Stylesheets
==================

It is possible to define custom stylesheets for your dashboards. Horizon's base
template ``horizon/templates/base.html`` defines multiple blocks that
can be overridden.

To define custom css files that apply only to a specific dashboard, create
a base template in your dashboard's templates folder, which extends Horizon's
base template e.g. ``openstack_dashboard/dashboards/my_custom_dashboard/
templates/my_custom_dashboard/base.html``.

In this template, redefine ``block css``. (Don't forget to include
``_stylesheets.html`` which includes all Horizon's default stylesheets.)::

    {% extends 'base.html' %}

    {% block css %}
      {% include "_stylesheets.html" %}

      {% load compress %}
      {% compress css %}
      <link href='{{ STATIC_URL }}my_custom_dashboard/scss/my_custom_dashboard.scss' type='text/scss' media='screen' rel='stylesheet' />
      {% endcompress %}
    {% endblock %}

The custom stylesheets then reside in the dashboard's own ``static`` folder
``openstack_dashboard/dashboards/my_custom_dashboard/static/
my_custom_dashboard/scss/my_custom_dashboard.scss``.

All dashboard's templates have to inherit from dashboard's base.html::

    {% extends 'my_custom_dashboard/base.html' %}
    ...


Custom Javascript
=================

Similarly to adding custom styling (see above), it is possible to include
custom javascript files.

All Horizon's javascript files are listed in the ``horizon/_scripts.html``
partial template, which is included in Horizon's base template in ``block js``.

To add custom javascript files, create an ``_scripts.html`` partial template in
your dashboard ``openstack_dashboard/dashboards/my_custom_dashboard/
templates/my_custom_dashboard/_scripts.html`` which extends
``horizon/_scripts.html``. In this template override the
``block custom_js_files`` including your custom javascript files::

    {% extends 'horizon/_scripts.html' %}

    {% block custom_js_files %}
        <script src='{{ STATIC_URL }}my_custom_dashboard/js/my_custom_js.js' type='text/javascript' charset='utf-8'></script>
    {% endblock %}


In your dashboard's own base template ``openstack_dashboard/dashboards/
my_custom_dashboard/templates/my_custom_dashboard/base.html`` override
``block js`` with inclusion of dashboard's own ``_scripts.html``::

    {% block js %}
        {% include "my_custom_dashboard/_scripts.html" %}
    {% endblock %}

The result is a single compressed js file consisting both Horizon and
dashboard's custom scripts.

Additionally, some marketing and analytics scripts require you to place them
within the page's <head> tag. To do this, place them within the
``horizon/_custom_head_js.html`` file. Similar to the ``_scripts.html`` file
mentioned above, you may link to an existing file::

    <script src='{{ STATIC_URL }}/my_custom_dashboard/js/my_marketing_js.js' type='text/javascript' charset='utf-8'></script>

or you can paste your script directly in the file, being sure to use
appropriate tags::

  <script type="text/javascript">
  //some javascript
  </script>


Customizing Meta Attributes
===========================

To add custom metadata attributes to your project's base template, include
them in the ``horizon/_custom_meta.html`` file. The contents of this file will be
inserted into the page's <head> just after the default Horizon meta tags.
