Hyrax Customization user manual
Web page customization
Hyrax's public "face" is the web pages that are produced by servlets running in the Tomcat servlet engine. Almost all of these pages can be completely customized by the site administrator by editing a combination of HTML, XSLT, and CSS files.
Where to make the changes
All of the default versions of the HTML, XSLT, and CSS files come bundled with Hyrax in the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/opendap/docs directory. You can make changes there, but installing new versions of the OLFS software will overwrite your modifications.
However, if the docs directory is copied (preserving its structure) to $CATALINA_HOME/content/opendap/ (creating the directory $CATALINA_HOME/content/opendap/docs), then Hyrax will serve the files from the new location.
- Warning
- Do NOT remove files from this new directory (Or the old one for that matter). Each file, in its location, is required by Hyrax. You can make changes to the files but you should not rename or remove them.
Nothing inside the $CATALINA_HOME/content directory is (automatically) changed when installing new versions of Hyrax.
The rest of these instructions are written with the assumption that a copy of the docs directory has been made as described above.
What to change
HTML Files
The HTML files provide the static content of a Hyrax server.
