Introduction To H-Sphere Customization

 

Some H-Sphere interface settings can be customized through Control Panel. The Look and Feel menu allows to set interface colors, images, and texts. See more in H-Sphere Interface Configuration.

Advanced interface customization is what goes beyond the scope of the Control Panel settings. It is performed on the H-Sphere CP server by designers and programmers with administrative rights, in order to create or modify:

  • interface templates: design and control patterns for dynamic HTML generation. They are to be modified if you need to restructure the layout of certain pages of the Control Panel interface, or to change the look of the Control Panel header and footer.
  • system email notifications: special type of templates used to generate standard email notifications sent by H-Sphere.
  • online context help: special type of templates to generate context help for certain elements of the Control Panel interface.
  • interface texts: standard messages and labels that appear on the interface pages are placed in the special configuration files and may be set for different languages.
  • interface languages: adding new languages to the interface and modifying language files with interface texts in different languages.
  • left menu items: generating and modifying control panel menus and submenus and adding external links to the menu.
  • skins and icon sets: H-Sphere interface design has a broader meaning than just configuration of certain color schemes and the corresponding icon sets, what is called the skin. It also determines the set of skins available for this design, specifies the sets of icons in the Quick Access page and enables to override the standard settings with the custom ones.
  • user signup forms: generating custom signup forms to sign up users aside from the standard signup procedure provided in H-Sphere, as well as modifying the standard signup pages.
WARNING:
1. Advanced customization may produce unpredictable results after updating H-Sphere, since updates affect the template structure and the page generation.
2. Advanced customization performed by H-Sphere customers is done at their own risk and is not supported by the PSoft team.
3. You may order customization from the PSoft team. Such customization is supported hereafter. Please contact sales@psoft.net for pricing details.
