Describe the bug

In the release announcement for Keycloak 26 https://www.keycloak.org/2024/10/keycloak-2600-released it states

h2. Customizable Footer in login Themes

The template.ftl file in the base/login and the keycloak.v2/login theme now allows to customize the footer of the login box. This can be used to show common links or include custom scripts at the end of the page.

The new footer.ftl template provides a content macro that is rendered at the bottom of the "login box".

Following the documentation, I have created a new extension theme based on keycloak.v2 with the following theme.properties file.

parent=keycloak.v2
import=common/keycloak
styles=css/styles.css

I have also created the footer.tpl from the example given in the server docs at https://www.keycloak.org/docs/26.0.0/server_development/#_theme_custom_footer and put it in the same folder as the theme.properties file.

<#macro content>
<#-- footer at the end of the login box -->
<div>
    <ul id="kc-login-footer-links">
        <li><a href="#home">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
        <li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
    </ul>
<div>
</#macro>

The contents of the footer are not displaying on the login screens as expected.

It appears to work on the base theme though. I can get this to work by changing parent=base in the theme.properties like this.

parent=base
import=common/keycloak
styles=css/styles.css

So I'm concluding that this must be a bug in the keycloak.v2 theme. I'd be grateful if someone could investigate.

Version

Regression

• The issue is a regression

Expected behavior

My expectation is that the customized footer template should display when extending both the "base" and "keycloak.v2" themes.

Actual behavior

The customized footer template only displays when extending the "base" theme, NOT on the "keycloak.v2" themes.

How to Reproduce?

Create your own theme with the following theme.properties

parent=keycloak.v2
import=common/keycloak
styles=css/styles.css

Anything else?
