Note: This solution applies to DocuShare 6.5.x ONLY
Note: You must be a Windows administrator to perform this solution.
Note: Before making any changes, back up the existing files.
To change the Xerox DocuShare logo:
1. Save your logo as branding_docushare_cpx.gif
2. Then save another copy of your logo as branding_docushare.gif
Note: In step 1 & 2 you are saving the same file (your company logo) twice with 2 different names.
3. Open Windows Explorer
4. Change into the Xerox\Docushare\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\themes\\images directory
Example: C:\Xerox\Docushare\tomcat\webapps\docushare\themes\blue\images
Note: If you are using docushare as the root of your site (default) then instead of ROOT you will see docushare in the directory path listed above. Use the path that is appropriate for your installation environment.
Note: The default theme is blue. However, because themes are set at the user account level depending on preferences more than one theme may be used on your DocuShare site. Other themes available are earthtone, emerald and ice.
5. Rename the branding_docushare_cpx_gif file to original_branding_docushare_cpx_gif
6. Rename the branding_docushare.gif file to original_branding_docushare.gif
Note: It is very important that you rename the original files (step 5 & 6) to back them up before placing the new files in the directory. If you do not rename them they will be overwritten.
7. Place the two company logo files you created in step 1 and 2 into the Xerox\DocuShare\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\themes\\images folder
Note: A DocuShare site may be using multiple themes, because Themes is a user account setting. Therefore, it is recommended that you change the branding_docushare.cpx.gif and the branding_docushare.gif on each of the four themes.
8. Refresh the DocuShare webpage to see the changes.
Note: You may need to stop and start DocuShare to see the changes
To adjust the location of the Image (if required):
Note: This solution will allow you to adjust the placement of the image at the top of the page, these values may need to be tweaked a bit to get the correct location on the page.
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Browse to the Xerox\DocuShare\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\themes\ directory
Example: C:\Xerox\Docushare\tomcat\webapps\docushare\themes\blue
Note: A DocuShare site may be using multiple themes because a theme is a user account setting not a site setting. Therefore, it is recommended that you change the docushare.css file on all four themes to have a consistent look on your DocuShare site.
3. Open the docushare.css file in a text editor such as Notepad
4. Find the #header h1 heading under section =2 Site header styles.
5. Make the changes outlined in the example below.
Example of the docushare.css file:
Warning: We recommend creating a backup of the original docushare.css file before proceeding with any changes to the file.
Note: In the new values section in the example replace the ?? with the value you would like to try. Then save the file again and refresh the webpage to see the changes. This may take some time to find the correct value for your site/ image.
Original Values
#header h1{
position:absolute;
width:267px;
height:28px;
top:39px;
left:21px;
background:url(images/branding_docushare.gif) no-repeat 0% 0% ;
text-indent:-9999px;}
#header h1 a{display:block;width:267px;height:28px;border-bottom:0;}
New values
#header h1{
position:absolute;
width:???px;
height:??px;
top:??px;
left:21px;
background:url(images/branding_docushare.gif) no-repeat 0% 0% ;
text-indent:-9999px;}
#header h1 a{display:block;width:???px;height:??px;border-bottom:0;}
Where ??? represents values that will be entered based on your logo display size
Warning: If you are have DocuShare CPX and your company logo has a width greater than 280px then you will also need to modify the width value in the docushare_cpx.css for each of the themes. This is because only the width value is hard coded in the docushare_cpx.css file all other values are exported from the docushare.css file.
6. Refresh your webpage after making changes and saving them to see the changes displayed in DocuShare.
Note: You may need to stop and start DocuShare to see the changes.
