Chris thanks for moving the thread ... I realized I was posting to the wrong group after I pushed 'send.'  Thanks for the URL.  Will check this out tomorrow.

Kari,

I am moving this thread over the users group, since it is more appropriate there (the google group is mostly for install questions.)

Instructions on customizing the output are shown in the readme for the plugins folder:

https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/tree/master/plugins

If I understand correctly, whatever is put in the plugins/local folder there will override the default, once the local plugin is enabled in the config file.

The override files would be structured as noted in the instructions.  You can put in stylesheets and branding (which is similar to Archon's themes in the local/public/assets folder and templates in the local/public/views.

This is not something I have done as of yet, so perhaps someone can add more specificity.  But I will be investigating further in the very near future.  I plan to start by taking the defaults from the appropriate locations in the app, then pasting them into the plugins/local folder to customize.

Julie, Chris,
I've read the same bit as Julie and after looking though my ArchivesSpace-v1.0.1 folder, I'm not sure where to find the template and theme files.

Pointer, please?

Julie,

It is not formally required that the theme/views be changed before migrating and you will be able to update them after you migrate, just like you can in Archon.

I was simply trying to indicate that if you intend to present the user interface to the public, you may wish to assess the effect prior to migrating, and to develop a local themed that integrates better with your repository's style/theme.  I will clarify this in the final version of the migration guidelines, which I am preparing today.

Good afternoon,

In the Preparing for migration: Archon document, it says:

"If you plan to use the public access interface in ASpace, you should carefully review the public theme and templates supplied with ASpace. If you wish to make changes to these templates and themes, you will need to do so before migrating."

I know that our Web Services department would like to customize at least the public theme to brand it for our library. I am confused about why this would have to be done prior to migration? Does this mean that once our data is migrated into ArchivesSpace, we can no longer change the templates or theme?

Thanks,
Julie
