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:

  1. The files will be externally accessible from a URL similar to:
    https://127.0.0.1/BrandingFiles/customizedFile.html
    
  2. 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:

  1. The files will be protected, because it won’t be possible to access the customized files from a URL.

  2. 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
