Customization Explained

Customization Explained

Icon

Description automatically generated

This page explains how to do basic customization of your Evolve Site. It does not cover more advanced topics such as how to create themes, or how to create custom layouts and behaviors.

If you are interested in bespoke customization, please speak with your Account Manager.

There are several ways you can customize Evolve.

You can:

Change the logos of the top-level Evolve Site, or on your individual model Sites

Use custom images for your Sites on the multi-sites page

Use custom menu icons for pages in your Site.

In addition, some layouts or behaviors used in Evolve may also require some tasks that fall under the banner of customization in order to work - for example using the External Picture layout requires uploading images to a Custom Site folder.

Custom Sites

Most Evolve customizations, and some built-in layouts or behaviors, require that you publish your Site as a Custom Site. What this means is that you create a Custom Site folder on your Evolve web server, where you can store any CSS, images or other files you may need, and then ensure you reference this folder on your Deployment node settings before publishing your Site.

Depending on the particular customization, or the specific layout or behavior you plan to use, there may be special requirements for additional folders in this Custom Site folder structure. The help explaining those elements will detail any such requirements.

To create and use a basic Custom Site folder:

1.On your Evolve server, browse to <your-evolve-install-path>/Site/bin/webDesigner/custom/.

2.Create a new folder.

The folder name must not have any special characters or spaces.

3.In your new folder, create a sub-folder and name it 'images'.

4.When you Publish your Site, ensure you select the folder in the Deploy Custom Site setting on the Deployment node.

If Evolve Designer was already running when you created the new folders, close it and re-open it again for it to be able to see the new folder exists.

Customizing Styles using LESS variables

LESS variables are used to change the properties of various elements within Evolve easily and simultaneously. By changing the value of a single LESS variable, you can alter the appearance of multiple HTML elements within the Evolve webpage. This enables simple customization through only a small subset of variables.

The following sections detail what to be aware of when using LESS variables, particularly when upgrading between product versions. The Appendix also covers an overview of the key variables and what they impact.

Upgrading Custom Themes with LESS variables

Since Evolve 2016.2.1 the Themes (LESS variables) are automatically upgraded when performing an 'Update Meta Model & Themes' within Evolve Designer. However, if you find that the variables have not updated correctly, the following instructions will help you to diagnose the issues.

Should a theme still be incompatible with the installed version of Evolve, the following error can appear in Evolve Designer when you Deploy Dynamic/Static site:

Evolve Designer error message

To upgrade the theme to be compatible with the installed version, follow these steps.

1.Ensure you know which default theme your custom theme was based on

e.g. Evolve7, Grey, Blue

2.Locate a copy of this theme in the new version of Evolve

nb: This can be found in <Evolve-Install-Location>\Casewise\Evolve\Site\bin\webDesigner\themes\

3.Using a comparison tool (e.g. WinMerge) compare your custom theme with the theme located in step 2

This will highlight the new variables which have been added since your custom theme was created.

Each new variable will contain a comment (e.g. //v4.0.2) showing in which version it was added.

Example from LESS file

4.Copy over the new variables so that the custom theme contains the same number of variables as the default theme.

5. Restart Evolve Designer and Deploy Dynamic/Static Site

Theme File Labelling Convention

Evolve’s LESS variables are named using camelCase whereby the first letter of each word is capitalized – except for the first letter of the whole string. Evolve version numbers are commented out next to any variables that relate to specific Evolve versions. I.e: //v4.0

Use Custom Site Logos

Use Custom Site Logos

To make your Evolve Sites match your own corporate branding, you can change the default Evolve logos.

You can change the logos at a global level, so affecting the top-level Evolve Site which you see if you have Dynamic Sites, as well as the logos used on individual Sites you publish.

In addition, you can override the global setting on an individual Site basis to create custom logos for one or many of your Sites.

On the top-level Evolve Site, the logo is displayed on the login dialog and then in the top-left of the Site. A second, smaller logo is displayed in the top-left for smaller screen sizes, such as mobile devices.

On your own Sites, the logo is only displayed in the top-left of each page, with a smaller version when the site is viewed on a mobile device.

Create new logos

To replace either the global logos or create custom logos for your own Sites, you have to create two new images. These images must have the following details:

Image 1

Name

logo.png

Dimensions

146 x 30 px

Image 2

Name

logo-m.png

Dimensions

112 x 30 px

There are different processes for changing the global logos and adding custom logos to an individual Site.

What do you want to do?

Change the global Evolve Site logos

To replace the logo on the top-level Site:

1.On the Evolve server machine, in Windows Explorer, navigate to:

<your-evolve-install-path>\Site\bin\webDesigner\images\logos

2.Replace logo.png and logo-m.png with your new images.

Next time you Publish one of your Sites, the logos will be changed. You may need to delete your browser cache in order to see the change reflected.

Alternatively, if you do not want to wait until you Publish one of your Sites, you can copy the logo.png and logo-m.png files to the following location which will cause them to be changed immediately:

<your-evolve-install-path>\Data\Common\images\logos

Use a custom logo on an individual Site

To use a custom logo on an individual Site:

1.On the Evolve server machine, in Windows Explorer, navigate to:

<your-evolve-install-path>\Site\bin\webDesigner\custom

2.If you do not already use a custom folder for your Site, create one here and name it as you wish

If you already use custom content with your Site, open the folder you already use

3.In your custom folder, create an 'images' folder, then create a 'logos' folder within it

You should now have the following structure:

<your-custom-directory>\images\logos

4.Copy your custom logo.png and logo-m.png files to the 'logos' folder

5.Create a CSS file named 'main.css' and place it in

<your-custom-directory>\css

If you already have a main.css file, do not create a new one, instead add the code detailed in the next step

6.Copy the following code and paste it directly into main.css

/* Change the logo on evolve site */

.logo

{

    background: transparent url('../images/logos/logo.png') center no-repeat;

}

 

/* Change the logo on the login page */

#cw-authentication-zone .cw-authentication-top

{

    background: transparent url('../images/logos/logo.png') center no-repeat;

}

 

/* Change the logo for smartphone and tablet devices */

@media screen and (min-width: 240px) and (max-width: 1023px){

    .logo

    {

        background: transparent url('../images/logos/logo-m.png') center no-repeat;

    }

}

7.Open your Site in Evolve Designer

8.On the Deployments > [server name] > [model] node, choose your new custom folder in the Deploy Custom Site drop-down

9.Save and Publish the site by using the Dynamic Site or Static Site button on the Home menu.

If instead you use the Save & Deploy Site function, you must click Theme & Pictures first.
