Homepage

The CalmView home page contains an image, headings and text, all of which can be customised. Here is an example CalmView home page. Please note: the example screen will open a new window, when you have finished and wish to return to this page, use the cross in the top right corner to close the window.

As in the example above, an image will be displayed below the toolbar and above the welcome text. This image will appear on the home page of your website only.

To customise this image:

  • You will need an image in GIF format which measures 386 pixels wide and 156 pixels high
     
  • Copy your chosen image to the CalmView customer theme folder on your server as below: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CalmView\App_Themes\Customer\images
     
  • If you wish to keep the existing home page image, for example as a back-up, please rename the logo.gif file.
     
  • Then rename your image logo.gif

This image will now be used as the home page image.

The following five options are customised using the Homepage option in the Pages section of the Configurator.

Page Name

The page name is shown in the browser's tab for the window in which CalmView is displayed, in the above example the page name is "CalmView: Home Page". To change this, enter your new text in the Page Name field and click the Save button.

Welcome Title

As in the example above, the home page contains a heading with the default text "Welcome to CalmView". To change this, enter your new text in the Welcome Title field and click the Save button.

Welcome Text

As in the example above, the home page contains the default welcome text:

"Welcome to our online catalogue.

This includes manuscripts, bibliographic records, digital images of photographs and many other types of material held by us.
Please click on "About the catalogue" for more information on content, or one of the Search options to enter the catalogue."

Press the Edit key (in the Welcome Text field) to directly edit this text, click on the OK button, then the Save button.

If you have selected the Default theme, a What's New section is shown on the right hand side of your screen, displaying the new item records you have chosen to feature. The final two options apply to this What's New section.
