Gif File Substitutions

The following explains how to customize gif files in Contenta Web—you can modify or replace the delivered image(s) with a custom image(s).

Copy the gif file(s) to be modified:

From

web > cw_common > standard > img

To

web > cw_common > custom (or a subdirectory under custom)

Image filenames are specified in the Java Server and the HTML/XSL that create the Contenta Web interface. If an image’s filename is changed, the HTML/XSL that links to the image must also be modified for the image to be recognized and displayed.

When substituting images, if the custom image is not proportional to the original image, the image is skewed to fit within the HTML defined image size. For example, when the login_logo1.gif image was replaced with a square image, the image was distorted when displayed in the interface. You can modify the HTML in the corresponding JSP file that defines the image size.
