How to add custom template in bootstrap_package?

Question

I'm trying to add my own page template with bootstrap_package called "Default, White Sheet". It is a copy of "Default", but with an extra CSS class added in the content element.

My custom template does not show up in Page Properties > Appearance > Backend Layout.

So far, I have:

1. Changed template folder

Copied the "bootstrap_package/Resources" folder to "fileadmin/bootstrap_package/Resources" and edited root template constants to point to the new location:

page.fluidtemplate.templateRootPath = fileadmin/bootstrap_package/Resources/Private/Templates/Page/

I have verified this by slightly editing one of the existing templates and seeing a change.

2. Created custom template HTML

Added DefaultWhiteSheet.html under fileadmin/bootstrap_package/Resources/Private/Templates/Page/

As stated, my custom template is an exact copy of Default.html, only with an extra css class added to the container element.

3. Added TS definition in setup

In root template setup I added:

<INCLUDE_TYPOSCRIPT: source="FILE:fileadmin/typoscript/layout_default_white_sheet.txt">
page.10.templateName.stdWrap.cObject.pagets__default_white_sheet = TEXT
page.10.templateName.stdWrap.cObject.pagets__default_white_sheet.value = DefaultWhiteSheet

layout_default_white_sheet.txt contains the TS definition of

mod.web_layout.BackendLayouts.default_white_sheet {
    title = Default White Sheet
    config {
        backend_layout {
            colCount = 6
            rowCount = 3
        etc etc

It is copy of /typo3conf/ext/bootstrap_package/Configuration/PageTS/Mod/WebLayout/BackendLayouts/default.txt only with the names changed.

Still, my custom template does not show up in page properties where you choose a page layout.

I'm not sure but I see might be problem with template folder which you changed, have a look here docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/bootstrap_package/… — Ghanshyam Gohel
That's the old version, this is the new version: docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/bootstrap_package/… Thanks anyways — johndoe33

Suddenly it works. I'm not sure what happened. I leave this question as a "walkthrough" for later.
