Website Development

Frappe Framework Website
1

Hello everyone,

I’m a PHP, MYSQL, HTML, CSS, JS developer looking to build a website for our business power by Frappe and ERPNext.

I used Bitnami to quickly launch a development environment to tinker with. http://104.154.67.17/

I’m wondering how I would go about replacing the default website with a completely new website theme. Where is the default website located in the file structure? What is the best way to develop a new website? Is it in python or HTML, JS and CSS?

Thanks,
David

The default webpage that you are looking for is in website module/web page/page_name(usually your campany name). you can change the content and some details.

If you want a complete new page you can add an .html(including css and js block) and .py file into your app template/pages folder.

Adding a page.html and a page.py and replace some sections in html like:

{%- block header -%}
{%- endblock -%}

{%- block navbar -%}
{%- endblock -%}

{% block content %}
{% endblock %}

All the pages inherit from base.html template. For some examples go to the template/pages from ERPNext. There is some pages to check. I use this way to create complete custom pages.

You can also create a /www folder in your app. See how erpnext.com is built:

@ahmad18189 erpnext.com is just a content website, the sign-up part is another app :wink:

@rmehta is there any tutorials or wikis to get clue about customize a website … for example if i want to show a top product that automatically selected the best seller of the products … or even show some document from erpnext data…

Hi, a few questions about this:

If I put in these pages, how do I link to them from inside bench?
Do they support login-required and permissions?
