Customize anything on your site

Follow these general instructions to customize a page, picture, text string, or other element on your site.

  1. Download the sample branding files. Choose one of these files:
    http://collab.net/community/cif/csfe/51/BrandingBundle-Basic.zip or http://collab.net/community/cif/csfe/51/BrandingBundle-Basic.tar.gz
    Contains the files you need to do most of your branding tasks. Use this file if you are doing your own branding.
    http://collab.net/community/cif/csfe/51/BrandingBundle-Advanced.zip or http://collab.net/community/cif/csfe/51/BrandingBundle-Advanced.tar.gz
    Contains all the files that can be customized. For use when someone from CollabNet is doing your branding for you.
    Note: It is important that you have the most recent available version of this archive as a starting point. Check that the version number at the top of the readme.txt file in your copy of the branding package is the same as your version of the application. If it is not the same, check www.collab.net to see if there is a more recent version.
  2. In the look project, create a repository called branding.
    Note: Skip this step if the repository already exists.
  3. Check out the branding repository.
  4. Copy the default version of the appropriate file from the branding zip file to the equivalent directory in your local copy of the branding repository.
  5. Edit the file to produce the results you want.
  6. Commit the edited file into your site’s branding repository.
Important: Your branding repository does not have to contain all the files that are in the sample branding zip file, but the structure of your repository must be an exact mirror of the structure of the branding zip file.
