Hi everyone,
I'm new to openscholar. I have a site setup with most of my content, but there are a few things that I don't seem to figure out:
(1) Can I hide the login button and only keep a deep URL to it?
(2) In the header is a link to contact the owner. Is it possible to remove this link?
(3) How can I change the browser icon?
Thanks a million for any pointers. I'm using openscholar 2.0 beta 10.

Hi Montanap,
You might want to take a look at this thread: http://groups.drupal.org/node/92514
I don't know if it completely answers your questions, but it does provide a list of things others have thought about and worked on as they started customizing their own local scholar sites.

Customizing and Branding Openscholar
Hi everyone,
I'm new to openscholar and drupal. I want to use openscholar for my faculty. So, my questions is how to customize openscholar to follow my faculty branding. I saw few university used openscholar and customized it according to their branding example http://openscholar.princeton.edu/ and http://scholar.berkeley.edu/. They change the frontpage and add some page like about, contact, help and etc.
Customizing and Branding Openscholar
Hey akmal143,
regarding the Openscholar (OS) makeover you want to implement, I'd say you have to do a little of templating to say the least. If you haven't done any Drupal template in the past I advise you to check this documentation http://drupal.org/theme-guide/6-7. Remember that OS is currently using version 6 of Drupal.
If you think that the task is too time consuming or technical challenging my advice is for you to look for a good company who does Drupal themes and overall sites and hire them to do the job for you, that's what we did for our OS installations at the Portuguese university I'm currently working in:
Just for reference here's the website for the team we hired, its a Portuguese company located near our campus called Javali: http://javali.pt/en. Feel free to send an email, I'm sure they'll be very responsive, professional and there won't be any language barrier.
Good luck, best regards,

Hi Rolando Isidoro, Thanks
Hi Rolando Isidoro,
Thanks for your feedback and suggestions. Just wanna ask u, let say i want to do the templating by myself, so i need to install all module that have in openscholar. Am i right? or there is another way?
Regards,
Akmal
Hey Akmal, I don't quite
Hey Akmal,
I don't quite understand what you mean with "install all module that have in openscholar". To start working on OS templating all you have to do is setup OS on your working computer or any development environment of your choice.
There are 2 kind of templates in OS, the ones used in the portal (sitewide) area and the ones used for person or project sites. For the 1st one just follow the link I gave you earlier, while for the 2nd kind you should look into the OS proper documentation available at http://scholar.harvard.edu/help/vsitehelp/Developer-Documentation.
Hope this info can help you further with your task, best regards,
Rolando Isidoro
