How to Customise Mayan EDMS Interface?

Using Mayan EDMS Questions
1

Hello
I’m looking for examples on how to change the styling of Mayan EDMS
I know we can do this using System → settings → themes and apply custom css.

  • I’m looking for any examples so that i can know which class name to select and apply rules to them.

  • Or any other ways to customize the theme. Any other themes are available for reference

Thank you

Not sure if you into CSS or now how it works, but I just looked at he source code and made a list of things I wanted to change and made a theme that overrides those values. Example I used on my test server I wanted to make header bar yellow so I know I am on the test server.

.navbar-default {
background-color: #c1a803;
}

You can also put your own label where “Mayan EDMS” is via the config file. Just be sure to restart the services.

# In config.yml
...
COMMON_PROJECT_TITLE: Test Server

The value of COMMON_PROJECT_TITLE can also be passed as an environment variable in the .env file:

MAYAN_COMMON_PROJECT_TITLE='Test Server'

I suspect because the CSS code used is not correct. Using the example above from ‘DocCyblade’ should work
