Applying custom branding and adjusting site templates

It's easy to apply custom branding elements to your application to make it distinctly yours.

If no additional branding settings are applied, the "Admin" Group's settings will be used as the default.

Manage Branding settings

To manage your applications' branding settings, visit Settings > User Groups.

Click "Branding" to edit that group's settings:

Here you can modify various aspects of the application from a branding perspective.

Header/Footer

When you enable a custom text or HTML header/footer, outgoing emails such as Opt-In/Out and Forward to Friend will include the custom branding in the body of the email.

Options in-depth

Header/Footer: Use this section to designate custom text or HTML in the header or footer of emails.

Hide product links: If checked, this will remove sections that say "Powered by 1-2-All ..."

Hide external help: Check this box to hide references to help sections, such as the Admin startup page:

With Hide external help checked, these sections will not be visible.

Manual Branding changes

If you'd like to manually go in and change certain site files for even more branding control, you can edit the files in the templates/ folder. Specifically, templates/main.htm contains the HTML site structure that wraps around the content of each page.

Here is a breakdown of what files can be edited, and where to find things:

  • context/ contains files for each "action"
  • templates/ contains files for each "action"
  • js/ contains all of the JS files needed
  • css/ contains the CSS file for styles

Each file in the context/ and templates/ directories has a naming convention that corresponds to the "action" it is related to. The "action" can be ascertained by looking at the URL for any given page. Here is an example URL for the public Subscribe page:

index.php?action=subscribe

The action comes after the equals sign. Files for the "subscribe" action have filenames starting with the word "subscribe." For example, the subscribe HTML template is located in templates/subscribe.htm. The JavaScript file is located in js/subscribe.js.
