As the PaperCut NG administration interface is designed for use by administrators there generally isn't the need to customize it to the extent of the user web interface (for information about customizing the user web interface see the section called “Customizing the User web pages”). An organization logo or other image can be displayed in the header of the administration interface however. The available customizations are:
Replace the existing administration logo
Add an image of your choice to the right of the main administration logo
Add a custom message to the dashboard
Logos can be added to customize the look of the admin interface.
These can be customized by placing the following files in the PaperCut NG directory
structure at [app-path]/server/custom/web/.
You can add your own content to the dashboard by placing an HTML file in
[app-path]/server/custom/web/ called dashboard-notice.inc. This
could be used to display a short message for the attention of other administrators. Other examples might
include:
Guidelines for administering printers
Policies for handing refunds
Contact details for key people
Or even your own widget that loads content from elsewhere
Tip
The title of the custom dashboard widget can be changed by setting the config key
dashboard.gadget.custom.title. For information about setting config keys please see
the section called “Using the Config Editor”.
