Location: cPanel/Branding
You can easily brand your cpanel themes using custom logs, text, and images. This allows you to design a cpanel theme based on your website or organization's specific branding.
Getting Started
When the page loads, you will see text with specific information. For example, if branding has been setup on your server, you will see a statement similar to the following:
"Branding has been setup. You can upload images/text for themes that support branding to /home/YOUR_USERNAME/cpanelbranding/themename."
Example
The following example uses the "bluelagoon" theme:
If the admin has installed the bluelagoon theme, you can test out branding by using the following steps:
1. Use the branding manager below, or upload a new logo via ftp or cpanel to /home/YOUR_USERNAME/cpanelbranding/bluelagoon.
Note: The file must be named cp.gif,cp.jpg, or cp.png.
2. Login to any account you own that uses the bluelagoon theme.
3. If you uploaded the image in the correct place, the cPanel logo in the upper left hand corner should be replaced with the image you uploaded.
Branding Logo Tag
The bluelagoon theme includes the following tag where the cPanel logo is normally displayed:
<cpanel Branding="image(cp)">
When cpanel sees this tag, it will look in the account owner (reseller)'s cpanelbranding directory for the image. If it does not find an image with the specified name ending in .gif,.png,or .jpg; cpanel will use the image that has been included with the theme. Notice that the name of the image is included in the tag <cpanel Branding="image(cp)"> would look for cp.gif,cp.png, and cp.jpg. The tag <cpanel Branding="image(logo)"> would look for logo.gif,logo.png, and logo.jpg.
Branding Text Tag
You can also use the branding text tag to include branded text in a cpanel page. The following tag will look for supportinfo.txt in the cpanelbranding folder.
<cpanel Branding="text(supportinfo)">
Wherever you place the branding text tag, the text will appear on the cpanel page. If you are inserting text into an html page, you can place html tags and text in the text file.
