<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Not a stupid question at all...<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>ArchivesSpace follows the Rails convertions for organizing models, views, controllers, assets, etc. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>That said...<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There are two ways to customize the interface...the easiest is to add overrides to the plugins/locals directory. <br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt">For example, if you wanted to customize the basic layout file, you would put your updated customized erb file in plugins/local/public/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb.</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Some documentation on plugins can be found here => <a id="NoLP" href="https://github.com/hudmol/archivesspace/tree/master/plugins">
https://github.com/hudmol/archivesspace/tree/master/plugins</a> <br>
<span style="font-size:12pt"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt">A good tutorial on ASpace plugins can be found here
</span>http://teaspoon-consulting.com/articles/archivesspace-plugins.html<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you want to do a lot of customization, it might be easier to simply pull down the ASpace source code (
<a id="NoLP" href="https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace">https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace</a> ) and rebuild it it (
<a id="NoLP" href="https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/build/README.md">
https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/build/README.md</a> ).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Does this give you some ideas about the process? </p>
<p><br>

I'm brand new to the membership, and I hope this isn't a stupid question, but how does one start to customize the public interface?
