Base OpenEdit Directory

All the content management files are stored in the /base/openedit/ directory on your site. You can change the look of the user manager, editing tools, filemanager and most other OpenEdit tools by learning to use the fallback directory capability.

Example

1. To create your own look and feel for the OpenEdit login you need to create this structure:

/openedit/authentication/login.html

2. Copy the standard login.html file from here:

/WEB-INF/base/openedit/authentication/login.html

3. You can now edit /openedit/authentication/login.html how you like. It will automatically become the standard login form.

4. The OpenEdit upgrade scripts replace all the files in the /base/openedit/ directory. Your copies located in the /openedit/ directory are not touched.

Important Directories

/openedit/usermanager/
/openedit/filemanager/
/openedit/editors/
/openedit/authentication/
/openedit/toolbar/
/errorpage.html

Each of these parts contain important functionality that you might customize for your site.
