To make changes to your LMS screens you have to have administrator privileges.
If you login to the LMS, you should see an extra menu tab at the top of the page called "Administration". If you don't, you don't have admin access. Contact whoever is running your system to get that set up. You may need to refresh your page to see the new menu.
To change the pictures and text that cycle through the landing page click "Administration". You should see a box on the left side of the page with a lot of icons.
Click "Login Page Settings" about a third of the way down that menu box on the left.
I put a couple of pictures in there as a demo. You can add your own and delete the ones I added. Click the "Save" button at the bottom to load the pictures you selected. There is a "Preview" tab that you
can use to look at the pics and text without having to go back to the landing page (hard to do when logged on).
The pictures should be no larger than 300x192 pixels and can be png, jpg, or gif files.
The LMS is written in PHP and stores most stuff in the file system.
You'll need to ssh into the LMS server as root to edit this stuff, or get the system admin to set up sudo access for you.
The root directory of the LMS is at /var/www/nwtp.
Other than installing the images on the landing page, the remaining customization is done by replacing graphics files, editing HTML, and altering css files.
You'll probably want to change the links in the footer that point to the Department of Energy, etc.
There is a footer on the landing, the main site page, and in the courses when the students run them.
The footer in the running classes are generated by the SCORM player and can be found at:
Other than changing colors and text, be careful about editing the css for the main site page. Stuff can get really messed up if you make wholesale screen layout changes.
Here are some notes I made while editing an instance for a school:
Removed footer logo from span.Logo in /var/www/nwtp/Customizing/global/skin/sen/sen.css
Directory where landing page html data is located: /var/www/nwtp/Customizing/clients/logins/login_subclients/login_sen.
A lot of the text for the landing page is in the file tpl.login.html in that directory.
BEWARE! CSS files import other css files that mask behavior of the main file. Finding the right css file can be tricky.
A tool in your browser like FireBug in FireFox or Developer Tools in Chrome can help track stuff down.
The background color of header is in /var/www/nwtp/Customizing/global/skin/sen/sen.css, div#ilMainHeader in the background entry
/var/www/nwtp/templates/default/doe_base.css
css for landing page pre login has header text overridden by css images in directory/var/www/nwtp/Customizing/global/skin/sen/images headerLeft.png, headerRight.png
login page right side logo span id nwtp and left side logo nwtp_logo
css file for main page after login: /var/www/nwtp/templates/default/doe_base.css
Most of the html files you need to change are in: /var/www/nwtp/Services/Init/templates/default
The style sheets and html list images in the format "images/picture.jpg". The "images" directory is i: /var/www/nwtp/Customizing/global/skin directories
I hope this helps!
