Files Location
We recommend that a new folder be created in order to keep the customized files instead of having them with the original files. This will enable you to:
a) Get back to the original interface configuration at any time.
b) Make sure that your files will be safe after a version upgrade.
You can also choose to place the files inside or outside the webroot structure. Keep reading to see how each option will behave:
Storing the Customized Files in the Webroot Directory
In this case:
- The files will be externally accessible from a URL similar to:
https://127.0.0.1/BrandingFiles/customizedFile.html - The file paths, indicated in the
WebAliases.ini, can be relative to the webroot directory (e.g./img/Thinfinity_Virtual_UI_150.png=BrandingFiles\MyLogo.png).
You will find other relative path examples on the topics Changing the logo and Customizing the web files.
Storing the Customized Files Outside the Webroot Directory
In that case:
-
The files will be protected, because it won’t be possible to access the customized files from a URL.
-
The file paths, indicated in the
WebAliases.ini, must be absolute, as in the example below:[Alias] /index.html=c:/BrandingFiles/my_index.html /images/Thinfinity_Virtual_UI_150.png=c:/BrandingFiles/MyLogo.png
