Themes

Form Fields

Id Optional

An optional UUID. When this value is omitted a unique Id will be generated automatically.

Name Required

A unique name to identify the theme. This name is for display purposes only and it can be modified later if desired.

Templates

Stylesheet (CSS) Optional

This CSS stylesheet may be used to style the themed pages.

This CSS will be included in the head tag in the Helpers head macro. You may also choose to include other remote stylesheets by using the <style> tag within the head macro.

<style>
  ${theme.stylesheet()}
</style>

Messages Optional

This section allows you to add additional localized messages to your theme. When creating an additional locale it is not required that all messages are defined for each language. If a message key is not defined for the specified locale, the value from the default bundles will be used.

If you intend to localize your login templates, you may find our community contributed and maintained messages in our GitHub repository helpful.

Helpers Required

This template contains all of the main helper macros to define the head, body and footer. To begin theming FusionAuth you’ll want to start with this template as it will affect all other templates.

See the Helpers page for additional information.

Example of Customizing the Authorize Page

Now that you have a good overview of all the templates, macros and helpers, here is an example of customizing the Authorize page.

Let’s assume you want to change the header and footer across all of the pages including the Authorize page. This is accomplished by editing the helpers.header and helpers.footer macros. For the header, let’s assume you want to add a Sign Up and Login link. For the footer, let’s assume you want to add a link to your privacy policy. Here are the macros that include these new links:

[#macro header]
  <header class="my-custom-header">
    <nav>
      <ul>
        <li class="login"><a target="_blank" href="https://my-application.com/login">Login</li>
        <li class="sign-up"><a target="_blank" href="https://my-application.com/sign-up">Sign Up</li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
  </header>

  [#nested/]
[/#macro]

[#macro footer]
  <footer class="my-custom-footer">
    <nav>
      <ul>
        <li class="privacy-policy"><a target="_blank" href="https://my-application.com/privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
  </footer>

  [#nested/]
[/#macro]

Once you make these changes, they will take effect on all of the pages listed above.

Theme Errors Prevent Login

If you have edited a template and it is causing errors preventing you from logging in to FusionAuth, you can override the use of the UI templates. This will render a form allowing you to log in. To do this:

• Open your browser and access your FusionAuth admin UI.

• This will redirect you to the broken /oauth2/authorize page.

• Click in your browser’s address bar and scroll to the end.

• Add the String &bypassTheme=true to the end of the URL and hit the Enter key.

This should render the default login page that ships with FusionAuth and allow you to log in and fix any errors you have.

Default Theme Used Incorrectly

Anytime a request is made to a themed page and we are unable to identify the tenant, the default tenant will be used. This includes, but is not limited to:

• The root page / when a client_id or tenantId is not provided.

• Any themed pages such as /password/forgot when a client_id is not provided.

• Edge case error conditions where FusionAuth doesn’t have context to determine the application or tenant.

If you see the default theme unexpectedly, ensure you are passing required parameters, such as the tenantId or client_id, to the page so that it can determine the applicable application or tenant. These parameters allow FusionAuth to determine the correct theme to display.

Templates

When new functionality is introduced to the hosted login pages, new theme templates are occasionally added. They are added to the default theme by the upgrade process, but if you’ve customized your theme to fit your brand, you’ll need to modify the theme to have the new template.

In the version release notes, any new templates and macros are documented. If there are changes, you’ll want to take a closer look at the themes post upgrade.

As part of your upgrade testing, open the administrative user interface and navigate to Customizations > Themes.

If any themes are missing templates, they will show as "Upgrade Required". Port the new theme files over to your custom theme, modify them as needed, and save the theme.

Messages

When new functionality is introduced to the hosted login pages, new theme message keys are sometimes required. They are added to the default theme messages file by the upgrade process.

However, if you have customized your theme, the new keys are not added to that modified theme. The first time you try to modify your theme, you’ll receive an error message similar to the text below:

Missing required keys. See text area below for default English translations. To continue, please copy the values from below into the Messages text area.

FusionAuth warns you about missing required keys in order to avoid an inadvertent bad user experience. The default display for keys with no valid values in theme Messages is the key text, such as [ExternalAuthenticationException]LinkedInToken, which can be confusing for end users.

During an upgrade, you can find these keys by testing the upgrade on a development instance or comparing releases in the fusionauth-localization repo. You can safely add these new key values to your theme prior to an upgrade. Any unused messages in a theme’s messages file are silently ignored (unless malformed).

The extra lines won’t do any harm, and will ensure an excellent end user experience if they stumble on new functionality right after an upgrade.
