[en] Set theme options

[en] Theme options are settings that a theme offers, such as an accent color, a portal banner image or whether to show the navigation sidebar. Which options there are depends on the theme. You set their values per layout. To set theme options:

  1. Wählen Sie im oberen Menü Layout aus.

    Paligo editor. The Layout option in the header menu is highlighted.

    Paligo zeigt eine Liste von Layouts an. Die Liste ist leer, wenn keine benutzerdefinierten Layouts in Ihrer Paligo-Instanz vorhanden sind.

  2. Wählen Sie das Layout, das Sie aktualisieren möchten, oder Ein Layout erstellen aus.

    Tipp

    Sie können die URL des Layout-Editors kopieren und in eine neue Registerkarte in Ihrem Browser einfügen. Dies kann nützlich sein, wenn Sie häufig zwischen Ihren Paligo-Inhalten und den Layout-Einstellungen wechseln.

  3. [en] Select Theme in the list of categories.

    [en] The theme's options are listed below the theme source. Some options have a short description under them, written by the theme's author.

  4. [en] Set the options you want to change. How you set an option depends on its type:

    • [en] Color: choose a color in the color picker. If an option can be left empty, it shows No color set until you choose one.

    • [en] Text and number: enter a value in the field.

    • [en] Choice: choose one of the values in the list.

    • [en] On or off: choose Enable or Disable.

  5. [en] To return an option to the theme's own value, select Reset to default under it. The link shows what the default is.

  6. [en] Select Save.

[en] The new values are used the next time you publish with the layout.

Anmerkung

[en] An option you leave at its default value follows the theme. If you upload a new version of the theme that has a different default, the layout uses the new default. Values you have changed are kept when you upload a new version, as long as the new version still has that option.
