Can I customize my CONTENTdm website to match the look and feel of our existing public website?

Applies to
  • CONTENTdm (classic version)
Answer
  • A website configuration tool is provided for branding and tailoring the appearance and behavior of key elements of the CONTENTdm (classic version) website and collections. Most of this configuration requires no programming skills
  • This tool enables you to:
    • Configure your site by setting default values
    • Enable or disable components
    • Choose colors, fonts and styles
    • Describe your website and collections
    • Optional modular customizations including custom pages, custom CSS or custom scripts require some programming skills

You can configure your website with appropriate permissions set in CONTENTdm (classic version) Administration:

  • At a global level: the default for the website. If no settings are created, then the website will use the default settings
  • At a collection level: Will affect only one collection. Any configurations set for a collection will override the global configurations
