CORE allows you to completely customize the look and feel of a conference. To do this, set the 'custom layout' option in the conference manager. When this option is set all stylesheets, graphics and javascript will be loaded from a separate directory.

Step 1, set a custom layout

create script folder based on abbreviation in conference settings.
create includes folder in public/includes based on abbreviation

CORE Directory

Contents

public/includes/conf_abbr

Support files, documents, CSS, icons, pictures, javascript
For TNC2011 links should be to /includes/tnc2011/css/... etc

application/modules/web/views/scripts

Page templates (.phtml)
Not possible to add stuff on the fly, the logic to render these is inside CORE

$ cp -r application/layouts/scripts/tnc2012 application/layouts/scripts/chrisdev
$ cp -r public/includes/tnc2012 public/includes/chrisdev

for mass emails create files: abbreviation-<action>.phtml - eg:
chrisdev-reviewers.phtml

Custom navigation

To change the default CORE navigation, set the 'custom navigation' option in the conference manager and:

create file in /config/navigation with name: <abbreviation>.php

$ cp application/configs/navigation/core.php application/configs/navigation/chrisdev.php
