1. Log into your journal and hover over your name in the upper right corner of the screen. Select Dashboard. Navigate from the profile page to your journal page via the file structure icon in the top left.
2. In the left hand column, click to "Settings", then "Website". This takes you to the main page with your site's color and banner image.
3. Look at the drop down menu for "Theme". At this time, 5 themes are available for OJS 3.3. Try out different themes, save the changes, then go to the journal's public view ( https://journals.flvc.org/yourjournalurl/ ) and press CTRL+F5 to refresh the page.
4. Each theme will have a color picker area. This is labeled "Colour". You can click on the colored box under the "Colour" heading, and then select a color that you would like to use with the theme. Try saving a new color, then go to the journal's public view ( https://journals.flvc.org/yourjournalurl/ ) and press CTRL+F5 to refresh the page.
5. Each theme has a banner image. This is labeled "Logo". Click on "Setup" under "Theme" to access it. Try out uploading a logo for the theme you'd like, then go to the journal's public view ( https://journals.flvc.org/yourjournalurl/ ) and press CTRL+F5 to refresh the page.
Here are recommended banner image sizes for each theme:
Making the homepage image smaller: Out-of-the-box, the Default Theme makes the homepage image very large. In order to make the banner image smaller, follow instructions here https://github.com/FLVC/FloridaOJcss and upload the following template stylesheet to your journal as "Journal style sheet" https://github.com/FLVC/FloridaOJcss/blob/master/TemplateStyleSheet_DefaultTheme_JournalHomepageImageChanges.css .
Adding a search box: While other themes have a "Search" link built into the theme, the Classic Theme does not. In order to add a link to search, you have to add an item to the navigation menu across the top of the screen. To add this: Log in and go to your journal's logged in view, Click to "Settings" "Website", Click to the "Navigation Menus" tab, Click the arrow next to "Primary Navigation Menu" then click "Edit" in the menu that opens, Click and drag "Search" from the "Unassigned Menu Items" to "Assigned Menu Items", and click "Save".
