STUDIO INTERACT, PLEASE RESPOND. Need Docs on Social Buttons, Template Mods about accounts-ui

[jshimko]

I can't speak to the social buttons part, but you can see any of the UI add-on packages (Bootstrap, etc) for examples of customizing the templates. You could start by just cloning the Bootstrap package into your /packages folder and changing whatever you need in the components.

Very good. Do I directly edit the components in the package? Won't my edits be deleted next time the package is updated?

[jshimko]

No. You're not using the official package at that point. You're using your edited copy of it. Ideally, you should also change the name of the package to something more specific to you (instead of std:accounts-bootstrap, maybe just accounts-ui-custom). Then install it with meteor add accounts-ui-custom.

If I go to ~/.meteor/packages, I see the package std_accounts-material, which I've previously downloaded. However, it only contains an alias. So I need to learn:

• Exactly what folder to duplicate and where to put it
• How to get meteor add to see it
• How to get accounts-ui to load it

I've just googled:

how to modify a meteor package

There are a lot of results. I will read further to find out how to do this.

Thanks very much for this info!
