Customizing Header/Footer/CSS/Head Includes

Some of the other customization features that are available in the "Site" section of the admin dashboard are changing the header, footer, CSS stylings, and HTML head elements.

  • Header - By default you have two links already in the header, one for "My Courses" (courses you are enrolled in) and one for "All Courses" (all the published courses offered by that school). You are allowed to edit both of these or add another. To add more, simply click "Add New Header Link" at the top of the page, which will take you to the 'Edit Header Link' page. Here you enter in the text that will appear for the link, the url for the link, whether it is visible for users that are logged in or not and finally whether clicking on the link will open up that page in a new tab.
  • Footer - Here you can set the background color of the footer with the hexadecimal value of the color that you want. You can also say how many columns the links in the footer will be organized into. Once you've set the number of columns, you can add the contents of those columns via HTML toward the bottom of the page.
    • By default the Privacy Policy is included down there.
  • Custom CSS - If you've edited any of your content in HTML versus the plain text editor, here is where you would want to put in the CSS to style it. For instance, if you ever created some text with the class="important_content", here is the section where you would add the CSS rules .important_content { color:green; font-weight:bold ......}
  • Head Includes - Anything you add in this section will be put into the area on each page of your site (although you can have different code for Logged-In and Not Logged-In users). Ideally you would only put in custom javascript snippets here for if you wanted to integrate some kind of service that we don't have support for.
    • For instance, if you we did not have built in Google Analytics integration, you would include your Google Analytics project tracking code in the Head Includes section.
