best way to customize look of Alfresco Share?

targa2000 — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 11:15:28 GMT

I need to customize the look of Alfresco Share, replacing the 'Alfresco Share' app-logo.png with a custom logo as well as changing the look of the background image in the head of the page. What is the best way to customize the look as an extension to Share? I don't want to go in and modify the act

Copy or modify one of the existing themes (greenTheme or hcBlack) in the themes folder.

To test the theme, use ?theme=… on the URL. To make it permanent, grab the web-framework-config-custom.xml.sample file from the web-extension folder in WEB-INF and copy it to tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension, removing the ".sample" extension.

<alfresco-config>
   <!– Specify another theme as the default theme –>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="WebFramework">
      <web-framework>   
         <application-defaults>
            <theme>THEME-NAME-GOES-HERE</theme>
         </application-defaults>
      </web-framework>
   </config>
</alfresco-config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks,

In addition to the request, I also would like to know how add a link to the logo 'Alfresco Share' app-logo.png' to a specific site i.e when someone clicks on the logo, it should take the user to a specific site.

Thanks in advance.

Override header.get.html.ftl to add an <a href> tag around the image.

Thanks,

Override documentlist.get.html.ftl in the web-extension folder and change the "false" default to "true".

Thanks,
Mike

P.S. Please try to create new topics rather than extending unrelated ones. Thanks.
