Customize Portal Theme (Recommended)

Last Updated: September 2022

The content of Tethys Portal can and should be customized or re-branded to reflect your organization. To access these settings, login to Tethys Portal using an administrator account and navigate to the Site Admin page. Then select the Site Settings link under the TETHYS PORTAL heading. Site-wide settings can be changed using the General Settings link and the content on the home page can be modified by using the Home Page link.

For more information about the site settings that can be customized refer to Tethys Portal Configuration: Site Settings

Bypass the Home Page

Tethys Portal can also be configured to bypass the home page. When this setting is applied, the root url will always redirect to the apps library page. This setting is modified in the portal_config.yml file. Simply set the BYPASS_TETHYS_HOME_PAGE setting to True:

TETHYS_PORTAL_CONFIG:
  BYPASS_TETHYS_HOME_PAGE: True

Enable Open Signup

You may also wish to enable open signup on your Tethys Portal. To do so, you must modify the ENABLE_OPEN_SIGNUP setting in the portal_config.yml file:

TETHYS_PORTAL_CONFIG:
  ENABLE_OPEN_SIGNUP: True

Warning

Enabling open signup will allow anyone to sign up for an account and could expose your site to exploitation by nefarious actors. Only enable this option if you plan to actively moderate users on your Tethys Portal.

Tip

To see a full list of settings that can be customized in the portal_config.yml file refer to the Tethys Portal Configuration documentation.
