1: Front page
Posted by Luis Garcia on 03/14/05 01:42 PM
I would like to change the look and feel of my web site. I saw that there are several files in the /var/lib/aolserver/servicename/www folder. Is there any set of instructions or something I can read on how to change those? I got a little confused because I see blank-master, default-master, and site-master pages so which one is it?
Thanks!

Hi Luis,

try to get around with acs-templating docs mainly "How the Templating System Works" here https://openacs.org/doc/acs-templating/guide/

about working with master and included templates look for "reusable presentation components" in this page doc.

maybe you could checkout openacs-org code from cvs ( cvs -z3 -d:pserver:mailto:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org/cvsroot co -r openacs-org openacs-4 ) and see how it builds frontpage with edit-this-page applications. Look into tcl/openacsorg-init.tcl , www/templates/ and www/templates/widgets to found some ways to change your website.

OK, that seems to be good enough. Now, if I want to add pictures and stuff much like Lars has in http://www.pinds.com/blog/ what do I do? Use my creativity? :)
Thanks!

or search for "random photo":

or hard code it in HTML and especially use creativity.

Thanks! It is looking nice now. Let me ask something else; I like the navigation bar, I just don't like its color, where do I change that?
Thanks!

You probably need to edit the .css file at yourserver/packages/acs-subsite/www/resources/site-master.css

see: http://cvs.openacs.org/cvs/openacs-4/packages/acs-subsite/www/resources/site-master.css?view=markup
