iCOMPEL Digital Signage - User Guide (V9.0.3)
5.11 Ad hoc Theming
Ad hoc theming is a way to change how the iCOMPEL user interface appears to an Ad hoc user. It allows you to
customize the page header and the text or ticker that appears on the page.
This could be used to include a company logo in a page to make it consistent with a brand identity. Or it could be used to
provide a translation of pages in a language not already supported on the iCOMPEL.
Currently the theme applies only to Ad hoc users on the iCOMPEL or those on a iCOMPEL subscribing via a channel.
Themes are not currently stored in layout packages.
To access the Ad hoc theme page, click on Media and select Manage Ad hoc Theme. Two tab options are available:
Properties
Strings
Properties allows you to set the basic options for the theme:
Ad hoc Theme Disabled/Enabled Turns the customized interface on and off for Ad hoc users
Header text color and Header background color specify the color of the text and its background in the page header.
Page Logo lets you choose a logo to use in the page. A list of files is presented, and any suitable image files appear with
a button next to them so you can select which image you require. The Alignment button lets you choose which side of the
page the logo appears. The page title will appear opposite it.
Strings
This tab allows you to provide either translations or alternative text for all the headers, boxes, instructions and warnings that
appear in three Ad hoc areas:
Homepage
Ad hoc Edit Pages
Media Folder
In each of these three areas, the default text is shown next to a box where the replacement text can be entered. For
example, the Homepage section has the three headers Home, Ad hoc Pages and Media Folder.
To translate or make changes to text, type in the new wording in the box, and click Save Changes.
