validators: remove unneeded M/StateObj classes
The M class is actually a wrapper around formencode.api.Validator.message,
inserting a translator into the 'state' object. Setting a translator into
the state object is indeed what is mentioned in the formencode docs.
But, if you work this way, the custom state should be set both for custom
validators, as well as for validators that are simple wrappers around
formencode's default validators (for example wrappers that just set a custom
message string). And the latter is what Kallithea is currently _not_ doing.
Also, when using formencode.api.Validator.message correctly, you should not
use the translator function _ on your validator strings manually.
Remove the inconsistency in Kallithea validators as follows:
- remove M and StateObj classes
- replace the usage of M by direct calls to self.message (which is now no
longer in charge of translating but simply of mapping a keyword onto the
right message)
- translation will be done by explicit _ calls at Kallithea side, so that
formencode directly receives translated strings.

=============
Customization
=============
There are several ways to customize Kallithea to your needs depending on what
you want to achieve.
HTML/JavaScript/CSS customization
---------------------------------
To customize the look-and-feel of the web interface (for example to add a
company banner or some JavaScript widget or to tweak the CSS style definitions)
you can enter HTML code (possibly with JavaScript and/or CSS) directly via the
*Admin > Settings > Global > HTML/JavaScript customization
block*.
Behavioral customization: rcextensions
--------------------------------------
Some behavioral customization can be done in Python using ``rcextensions``, a
custom Python package that can extend Kallithea functionality.
With ``rcextensions`` it's possible to add additional mappings for Whoosh
indexing and statistics, to add additional code into the push/pull/create/delete
repository hooks (for example to send signals to build bots such as Jenkins) and
even to monkey-patch certain parts of the Kallithea source code (for example
overwrite an entire function, change a global variable, ...).
To generate a skeleton extensions package, run::
paster make-rcext my.ini
This will create an ``rcextensions`` package next to the specified ``ini`` file.
See the ``__init__.py`` file inside the generated ``rcextensions`` package
for more details.
Behavioral customization: code changes
--------------------------------------
As Kallithea is open-source software, you can make any changes you like directly
in the source code.
We encourage you to send generic improvements back to the
community so that Kallithea can become better. See :ref:`contributing` for more
details.
