Rebranding ListManager

The Lyris Aurea List Manager brand is visible in several places:

  • As a logo in the discussion forum interface
  • As a logo in the administrator's interface
  • In email messages sent from the server
  • In the banner when mail is sent to the server

If you have a rebrandable license, you can rebrand everything listed above. If you do not have a license, you can only rebrand the discussion forums. For further information about rebranding licenses, contact your account representative at sales@lyris.com.

Rebranding the Administrator's Interface (i.e., replace the logo in the upper left corner with your own logo).

The logo is a gif file named background.gif which is located in this folder: ~\tclweb\htdocs\img\global\.

It is inserted into the ListManager interface due to being referenced in this style sheet:

~\tclweb\htdocs\css\styles.css.

To remove this logo and replace it with your own, do one of the following:

  • Create a new graphic that replaces the existing one
    1. In the global folder, rename the existing "background.gif" file to "background_original.gif."

    2. Create a new graphic containing your logo and name it "background.gif."
    3. Save the new graphic to the global folder.

    4. If the web interface is running, refresh the screen to see the change.
    5. Important

      The dimensions of the image can be no larger than 1200 x 400.

  • Create a new graphic and then reference it in the style sheet
    1. Create a new graphic containing your logo and name it anything you want.
    2. In the css folder, open the style sheet named "styles.css."

    3. Search for the "background.gif" text and replace it with the name of your new graphic.
    4. Save and close the style sheet.
    5. If the web interface is running, refresh the screen to see the change.

Rebranding the Discussion Forums

The procedures are the same as those listed above for rebranding the administrator's interface with one difference: the graphic file is named "background_footer.gif" instead of "background.gif."

Change the Email Messages Sent from the Server and Remove the Branding on the Lower Portion of the Screen

If you have a rebrandable license for Aurea List Manager, you can edit the email messages Aurea List Manager sends from the server. By default, the name used for these messages is Lyris ListManager, and the email address is lyrisadmin@yourserver.

Note:

Do not put a dash (-) in the rebranding Aurea List Manager email address. Rebrand the email address with no dashes (e.g., lyrisadmin@yourserver....)

To change the name, run the rebrandname command from the Aurea List Manager command prompt. This also removes the Lyris branding located at the bottom of the screen:

branding_items_to_remove.gif

To use the rebrandname command

  1. Open a command prompt, and then change to the Aurea List Manager directory.
  2. Type the following: lm rebrandname your name.

To change the email address

  1. Open a command prompt, and then change to the Aurea List Manager directory.
  2. Type the following: lm rebrandemail name

ListManager inserts everything after the @ sign, so only include what should go before the @ sign (e.g., acme_support).

NOTE

 Hyphens (-) are not allowed in the rebrand email address.

Important

ListManager must be restarted for these changes to take effect.

Changing the Information Displayed for EmailAdvisor

The image and contact information for the EmailAdvisor service can be changed in Utilities: Administration: Server: Server Settings: Advanced: Enable Features.
