Customize Installation

How to customize the web interface!

Simple changes that can be implemented in the layout of a OpenDataBio web site

Logo and BackGround Image

To replace the Navigation bar logo and the image of the landing page, just put your image files replacing the files in /public/custom/ without changing their names.

Texts and Info

To change the welcome text of the landing page, change the values of the array keys in the following files:

  • /resources/lang/en/customs.php
  • /resources/lang/pt-br/customs.php
  • Do not remove the entry keys. Set to null to suppress from appearing in the footer and landing page.

Local Documentation

You can add documentation in *.md format to the repository in files located in the following folders:

  • /resources/docs/en/*
  • /resources/docs/pt/*

This space is reserved for administrators to set documentation and custom directives for users of a specific OpenDataBio installation. For example, this is a place to include a code of conduct for users, information on who to contact to become a full user, specific tutorials, and so on.

  1. If you want to change the color of the top navigation bar and the footer, just replace css Boostrap 5 class in the corresponding tags and files in folder /resources/view/layout.
  2. You may add additional html to the footer and navbar, change logo size, etc… as you wish.
