Docs: Customizing

freelancerKit is easy to customize. If you know how to do a little CSS you can completely transform the back-end, otherwise you could make it look very unique simply by changing a few graphics.

Change the Main Logo
1. Open your FTP
2. Go to /resources/
3. Delete 'site_logo.png'
4. Upload a different 'site_logo.png'
Note: You can also use the name: site_logo.jpg or site_logo.gif. If you don't want a site logo just delete the file and it will show the title for your site name at the top.

Change the Invoice Logo
Same steps as above but do it with invoice_logo.png
Note: This file must be a PNG.

Theme Structure
Themes are very simple and rely on two folders:
- /css/
- /images/

The main file is called 'default.css' for every theme, this file handles the major site structure and forms. The 'sections.css' file is for the display of all major elements throughout the back-end.

Make a Theme

1. Open your FTP
2. Go to /resources/themes/
3. Save the /default/ directory to your hard drive.
4. Rename the directory to something other than "default".
Note: Please don't use spaces in your folder name.

5. Edit any off the CSS files and images you'd like.
6. Upload the folder
7. Login to Master Admin
8. Go to Admin > Settings
9. Find "Theme" and change it to your new folder.
10. Submit.

Template Files
If you want to edit the template files they are located in /system/application/views. We do not provide support for customizing this area, modify at your own risk.
