custom fonts

to change the fonts in the web-UI, first save the following text (the default font-config) to a new css file, for example named customfonts.css in your webroot:

:root {
	--font-main: sans-serif;
	--font-serif: serif;
	--font-mono: 'scp';
}

add this to your copyparty config so the css file gets loaded: --html-head='<link rel="stylesheet" href="/customfonts.css">'

alternatively, if you are using a config file instead of commandline args:

[global]
  html-head: <link rel="stylesheet" href="/customfonts.css">

restart copyparty for the config change to take effect

edit the css file you made and press ctrl-shift-R in the browser to see the changes as you go (no need to restart copyparty for each change)

if you are introducing a new ttf/woff font, don't forget to declare the font itself in the css file; here's one of the default fonts from ui.css:

@font-face {
	font-family: 'scp';
	font-display: swap;
	src: local('Source Code Pro Regular'), local('SourceCodePro-Regular'), url(deps/scp.woff2) format('woff2');
}

and because textboxes don't inherit fonts by default, you can force it like this:

input[type=text], input[type=submit], input[type=button] { font-family: var(--font-main) }

and if you want to have a monospace font in the fancy markdown editor, do this:

.EasyMDEContainer .CodeMirror { font-family: var(--font-mono) }

NB: <textarea id="mt"> and <div id="mtr"> in the regular markdown editor must have the same font; none of the suggestions above will cause any issues but keep it in mind if you're getting creative

<head>

to add stuff to the html <head>, for example a css <link> or <meta> tags, use either the global-option --html-head or the volflag html_head

if you give it the value @ASDF it will try to open a file named ASDF and send the text within

if the value starts with % it will assume a jinja2 template and expand it; the template has access to the HttpCli object through a property named this as well as everything in j2a and the stuff added by self.j2s; see browser.html for inspiration or look under the hood in httpcli.py

translations

add your own translations by using the english or norwegian one from browser.js as a template

the easy way is to open up and modify browser.js in your own installation; depending on how you installed copyparty it might be named browser.js.gz instead, in which case just decompress it, restart copyparty, and start editing it anyways

you will be delighted to see inline html in the translation strings; to help prevent syntax errors, there is a very jank linux script which is slightly better than nothing -- just beware the false-positives, so even if it complains it's not necessarily wrong/bad

if you're running copyparty-sfx.py then you'll find it at /tmp/pe-copyparty.1000/copyparty/web (on linux) or %TEMP%\pe-copyparty\copyparty\web (on windows)

  • make sure to keep backups of your work religiously! since that location is volatile af

translations (docker-friendly)

if editing browser.js is inconvenient in your setup, for example if you're running in docker, then you can instead do this:

  • if you have python, go to the scripts folder and run ./tl.py fra Français to generate a tl.js which is perfect for translating to French, using the three-letter language code fra
    • if you do not have python, you can also just grab tl.js from the scripts folder, but I'll probably forget to keep that up to date... and then you'll have to find/replace all "eng" and Ls.eng to your three-letter language code
  • put your tl.js inside a folder that is being shared by your copyparty, preferably the webroot
  • run copyparty with the argument --html-head='<script src="/tl.js"></script>'
    • if you placed tl.js in the webroot then you're all good, but if you put it somewhere else then change /tl.js accordingly
    • if you are running copyparty with config files, you can do this: 
      [global]
  html-head: <script src="/tl.js"></script>

you can now edit tl.js and press CTRL-SHIFT-R in the browser to see your changes take effect as you go

if you want to contribute your translation back to the project (please do!) then you'll want to...

  • grab all of the text inside your var tl_cpanel = { and add it to the translations inside copyparty/web/splash.js in the repo
  • and the text inside your var tl_browser = { and add that to the translations inside copyparty/web/browser.js in the repo
