# Overriding templates {#templates-override}

EXT:academic_jobs is using Fluid as template engine.

This documentation won't bring you all information about Fluid but only the
most important things you need for using it. You can get
more information in the section [Fluid templates of the Sitepackage tutorial](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/tutorial-sitepackage/main/en-us/FluidTemplates/Index.html#fluid-templates). A complete reference of Fluid ViewHelpers
provided by TYPO3 can be found in the  [ViewHelper Reference](https://docs.typo3.org/other/typo3/view-helper-reference/main/en-us/Index.html#start)

## Change the templates using TypoScript constants {#change-the-templates-using-typoscript-constants}

As any Extbase based extension, you can find the templates in the directory
`Resources/Private/`.

If you want to change a template, copy the desired files to the directory
where you store the templates.

We suggest that you use a sitepackage extension. Learn how to
[Create a sitepackage extension](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/tutorial-sitepackage/main/en-us/Index.html#start).

```typoscript
# TypoScript constants
plugin.tx_academicjobs {
    view {
        templateRootPath = EXT:mysitepackage/Resources/Private/Extensions/myextension/Templates/
        partialRootPath = EXT:mysitepackage/Resources/Private/Extensions/myextension/Partials/
        layoutRootPath = EXT:mysitepackage/Resources/Private/Extensions/myextension/Layouts/
    }
}
```

## Change the labels of the job properties {#change-the-labels-of-the-job-properties}

The job list and the job detail view render the properties of a job through one
loop, in [`Resources/Private/Partials/Job/Item.html`](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ExtensionArchitecture/FileStructure/Resources/Private/Index.html#file-extension-resources-private-partials-somepartials-fluid-html) respectively
[`Resources/Private/Partials/Job/Information.html`](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ExtensionArchitecture/FileStructure/Resources/Private/Index.html#file-extension-resources-private-partials-somepartials-fluid-html). The loop takes every
label from [`Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf`](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ExtensionArchitecture/FileStructure/Resources/Private/Language.html#file-extension-resources-private-language-locallang-xlf), which follows three
rules:

-   `jobs.<property>` is the row label of a property, for example
    `jobs.workLocation` or `jobs.link`.
-   `jobs.<property>.<value>` is the label of a value of a select property:
    `jobs.type.1` to `jobs.type.3` and `jobs.employmentType.1` to
    `jobs.employmentType.2`.
-   Two properties are rendered without their stored value and therefore carry
    a label that is a full statement: `jobs.internationalsWelcome` and
    `jobs.alumniRecommend`. They are rendered only when the flag is set.

The `link` property is the one exception to the first rule: it renders the row
label `jobs.link` and, as the text of the anchor, `jobs.linkText`.

Override any of them the way you override a label of an extension, without
copying the partial:

```typoscript
# TypoScript setup
plugin.tx_academicjobs._LOCAL_LANG {
    default.jobs.linkText = To the application form
    de.jobs.linkText = Zum Bewerbungsformular
}
```

Every label of the extension, and the path of each content element, is listed
in [Labels](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/fgtclb/academic-jobs:configuration-labels@2.4).

## Keep the confirmation in a copy of the form template {#templates-override-new-job-form-confirmation}

A visitor who returns to the form after a saved job, because no redirect page
is set, the redirect page is the page of the form or it cannot be linked, sees
the confirmation above the form. `Templates/Job/New.html` renders it,
inside the element with the class `academic-jobs-new`, from a queue of its own:

**The line of `Templates/Job/New.html` that renders the confirmation**

```html
<f:flashMessages queueIdentifier="academic_jobs.new_job_form.confirmation" />
```

A copy of the template in a site package takes this line over. Without it the
confirmation waits in the session of the visitor, and the visitor sees the
empty form. The form is not cached with the page, so the confirmation is shown
once and to that visitor only.

## Show the confirmation on a redirect page {#templates-override-new-job-form-redirect-page}

The visitor who is sent to a redirect page gets the confirmation in the queue
of the plugin, `extbase.flashmessages.tx_academicjobs_newjobform`. No shipped
template renders that queue, and the confirmation stays in the session of the
visitor until a page renders it. The form does not render it either, so it
never turns up there at a later visit.

To show it, render the queue on the redirect page, in a part of that page that
is not cached, for example with a `COA_INT` that renders a Fluid
template:

**The Fluid template rendered on the redirect page**

```html
<f:flashMessages queueIdentifier="extbase.flashmessages.tx_academicjobs_newjobform" />
```

A site that shows a confirmation page of its own instead chooses
**never** or **Suppress when a redirect page is set** for
**Flashmessage creation mode when persisting new jobs (FE)**, so no
message waits in the session.
