# Customizing Soapbox
|
|
|
|
If you haven't already, [install Soapbox](../installing). But before you install soapbox, you should consider how Soapbox is installed, by default.
|
|
|
|
Soapbox, by default, is installed to replace the default Pleroma front end. By extension, the Pleroma Masto front end continues to be available at the `/web` sub-URL, which you can reference, if you'd like, in the `promoPanel` section of `soapbox.json`
|
|
|
|
There are two main places Soapbox gets its configuration:
|
|
|
|
- `/opt/pleroma/config/prod.secret.exs`
|
|
|
|
- `/opt/pleroma/instance/static/instance/soapbox.json`
|
|
|
|
Logos, branding, etc. take place in the `soapbox.json` file.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"logo": "/instance/images/soapbox-logo.svg",
|
|
"brandColor": "#0482d8",
|
|
"promoPanel": {
|
|
"items": [{
|
|
"icon": "area-chart",
|
|
"text": "Our Site stats",
|
|
"url": "https://fediverse.network/example.com"
|
|
}, {
|
|
"icon": "comment-o",
|
|
"text": "Our Site blog",
|
|
"url": "https://blog.example.com"
|
|
}]
|
|
},
|
|
"extensions": {
|
|
"patron": false
|
|
},
|
|
"defaultSettings": {
|
|
"autoPlayGif": false,
|
|
"themeMode": "light"
|
|
},
|
|
"copyright": "♡2020. Copying is an act of love. Please copy and share.",
|
|
"customCss": [
|
|
"/instance/static/your_file_here.css"
|
|
],
|
|
"navlinks": {
|
|
"homeFooter": [
|
|
{ "title": "About", "url": "/about" },
|
|
{ "title": "Terms of Service", "url": "/about/tos" },
|
|
{ "title": "Privacy Policy", "url": "/about/privacy" },
|
|
{ "title": "DMCA", "url": "/about/dmca" },
|
|
{ "title": "Source Code", "url": "/about#opensource" }
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Customizable features include:
|
|
|
|
* Instance name
|
|
* Site logo
|
|
* Promo panel list items, e.g. blog site link
|
|
* Favicon
|
|
* About pages
|
|
* Default user settings
|
|
* Cascadomg Style Sheets (CSS)
|
|
|
|
## Instance Name
|
|
Instance name is edited during the Pleroma installation step or via AdminFE.
|
|
|
|
## Instance Description
|
|
Instance description is edited during the Pleroma installation step or via AdminFE.
|
|
|
|
## Captcha on Registration Page
|
|
Use of the Captcha feature on the registration page is configured during the Pleroma installation step or via AdminFE.
|
|
|
|
## Site Logo, Brand Color, and Promo Panel List Items
|
|
The site logo, brand color, and promo panel list items are customized by copying `soapbox.example.json` in the `static/instance` folder to `soapbox.json` and editing that file. It is recommended that you test your edited soapbox.json file in a JSON validator, such as [JSONLint](https://jsonlint.com/), before using it.
|
|
|
|
The icon names for the promo panel list items can be source from [Line Awesome](https://icons8.com/line-awesome). Note that you should hover over or click a selected icon to see what the icon's real name is, e.g. `world`
|
|
|
|
The site logo, in SVG format, is rendered to be able to allow the site theme colors to appear in the less than 100% opaque sections of the logo.
|
|
The logo colors are rendered in a color that provides contrast for the site theme.
|
|
|
|
The `navlinks` section of the `soapbox.json` file references the links that are displayed at the bottom of the Registration/Login, About, Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Copyright Policy (DMCA) pages.
|
|
|
|
The `brandColor` in `soapbox.json` refers to the main color upon which the look of soapbox-fe is defined.
|
|
|
|
After editing your HTML files and folder names, save the file and refresh your browser.
|
|
|
|
## Favicon
|
|
The favicon is customized by dropping a favicon.png file into the `/static` folder and refreshing your browser.
|
|
|
|
## About Pages
|
|
Soapbox supports any number of custom HTML pages under `yoursite.com/about/:slug`.
|
|
|
|
The finder will search `/opt/pleroma/instance/static/instance/about/:slug.html` to find your page.
|
|
Use the name `index.html` for the root page.
|
|
|
|
Example templates are available for editing in the `static/instance/about.example` folder, such as:
|
|
* index.html
|
|
* tos.html
|
|
* privacy.html
|
|
* dmca.html
|
|
|
|
Simply rename `about.example` to `about`, or create your own.
|
|
|
|
The `soapbox.json` file navlinks section's default URL values are pointing to the above file location, when the `about.example` folder is renamed to `about`
|
|
These four template files have placeholders in them, e.g. "Your_Instance", that should be edited to match your Soapbox instance configuration, and will be meaningless to your users until you edit them.
|
|
|
|
## Alternate Soapbox URL Root Location
|
|
If you want to install Soapbox at an alternate URL, allowing you to potentially run more than 2 front ends on a Pleroma server, you can consider deploying the Nginx config created by @a1batross, available [here](https://git.mentality.rip/a1batross/soapbox-nginx-config/src/branch/master/soapbox.nginx)
|
|
|
|
Tech support is limited for this level of customization
