Exercises

It’s time to apply the knowledge about overrides acquired in this chapter through the proposed exercises.

Exercise 1 – Create a module override

In this exercise, you are going to create a new override for the login module. We want to inject text into the login module once the users are logged in to warn them about the session expiration:

1. In the Cassiopeia template, create a new override for mod_login. In /html/mod_login, we can find two new files, named default.php and default_logout.php, respectively.
2. Since we want to edit the view of the module once users are logged in, we are going to edit only the default_logout.php file.
3. Delete the default.php file through the Delete File button.
4. Open the default_logout.php file and add the following code prior to line 36 of the file:

   <p class="text-center">

   Please note that your session will expire 15 minutes after your last action.

   </p>
