Overriding templates can have unexpected consequences - such as disabling actions, breaking layouts or preventing users from accessing your registry. Only make changes if you are confident in what you are doing.
Only users with the following permissions are able to add HTML to the registry header or footer:
'Allow user to manage and change templates'
'Allow user to manage and change the home pages'.
Note: You will also need intermediate web skills using HTML or CSS to use this feature.
Users with the appropriate permissions can use custom HTML to personalize the registry's header and footer.
Select 'Site page tools' from the dashboard side panel.
Select 'Edit templates'.
Select 'Create New Template'.
From this page, the following options can be adjusted:
Template name: The template name that will be overridden
Note: For example template names, see Default customization templates below.
Active status: Whether or not the template being created will be currently active upon submission. Inactive templates are only visible to template editors when previewing templates
Description: A field to describe the template's purpose, location and similar
Content: The HTML content to be used in the template upon submission.
Select 'Submit'. The changes will be immediately visible.
Select 'Site page tools' from the dashboard side panel.
Select 'Edit templates'.
All templates that are saved as drafts will be visible in this list.
Note: Previewing a template will alter the URL bar to send you to the homepage and view the selected template's changes using the preview_template_ids query parameter and the id of the template being edited.
Options: Header, Neck, Body, Ankle, Footer, Sole
There are other customisations for the header and footer that can only be achieved by requesting the Aristotle Metadata team. See the screenshot below as an example:
You can alter these sections of the page by making custom templates for the following sections:
Header: /aristotle_cloud/custom/header.html
Neck: /aristotle_cloud/custom/neck.html
Footer: /aristotle_cloud/custom/footer.html
Ankle: /aristotle_cloud/custom/ankle.html
