Configure This Site

Thank you for using OpenACS. Please write to us at the OpenACS discussion forums to let us know of your experience with installing and using OpenACS.

• Customize the front page. Edit the files @acs::rootdir@/www/index.adp and @acs::rootdir@/www/index.tcl (for more information, look into Using Templates in OpenACS).
• Change the site's overall appearance by editing the master template that wraps every page. The master template is @acs::rootdir@/www/default-master.adp. An ADP file is almost like HTML, except with a few extra bells and whistles (for more details, look into the Templating Designer's Guide).
• Site Administration
  • Invite Users or create Groups (for more information, see the documentation about Groups, Context and Permissions)
  • Download contributed packages at the OpenACS Software Page.
  • Install packages. In addition to the Core packages, which are already installed, OpenACS ships with many Standard packages with additional functionality. Install these packages with the Package Manager.
  • Use the Site Map to mount and configure packages.
