Branding UCSB Dataverse

This project is inspired by the LibraData - Dataverse and Harvard Dataverse customizations. Follows the Branding your Installation guidelines provided by the Dataverse team for its version 6.3.

Project Structure

This project has two main components:

• HTML files with custom footer and content homepage.
• Set of assets used in the HTML files.

Assets are organized as usual convention for type (css, js, images).

Proposed workflow to add branding to a Dataverse instance

1. Files can be located anywhere (except for navbar logo), but it is recommended to clone this repository in the /var/www/html/ or another directory reachable by the Dataverse instance.
2. Logo must be added using the admin API endpoint (see API docs).

Add navbar logo

Move the assets/imgs/UCSB-dataverse-logo.png file to /usr/local/payara6/glassfish/domains/domain1/docroot/logos/navbar. If navbar directory does not exist, create it.

Add the logo to the Dataverse instance using the following command:

curl -X PUT -d '/logos/navbar/UCSB-dataverse-logo.png' http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:LogoCustomizationFile

To revert to the original logo, use the following command:

curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:LogoCustomizationFile

Custom CSS

Global styles can be defined or overriden using the assets/css/custom-stylesheet.css file.

The file needs to be added to the Dataverse configuration by running the following command:

curl -X PUT -d '/var/www/html/UCSB-Dataverse-branding/assets/css/custom-stylesheet.css' http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:StyleCustomizationFile

Custom Footer

To set the custom footer, copy the ucsb-dataverse-footer.html file to the /var/www/html/ directory, and run the following command:

curl -X PUT -d '/var/www/html/UCSB-Dataverse-branding/ucsb-dataverse-footer.html' http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:FooterCustomizationFile
