Create a reseller theme

Introduction to reseller themes

You can create a reseller theme for a reseller enterprise, to use for all customers in the reseller’s hierarchy. The platform will display the reseller theme when it is active, instead of the default theme. You can create multiple themes but you can only set one active theme per reseller.

You can manage themes for reseller domains and subdomains. In Abiquo 6.1.3+, the administrator can create a list of prohibited domains using an Abiquo configuration property on the API Server. This lets you prevent users from accidentally creating a reseller theme that will apply to the main platform domain!

In Abiquo 6.1.3+, the cloud admin can create a theme for a reseller and configure the domain and login information. Then you can allow the reseller admin to modify the other configuration only. In Abiquo 6.1.3+, the privilege to Manage theme login configuration enables users to manage Domains, Login CSS configuration, and Cookies bar configuration.

   3. You can enter a domain/subdomain value in one reseller theme only

   4. The administrator can prohibit the use of a list of domains with an Abiquo configuration property

Changes to the reseller theme will display after the user refreshes their browser window.

Theme elements and CSS

This section describes all the sections and elements that you can configure when creating or editing a theme.

For some images, you can set a value of none to use no image or remove the default image.

For improved theme rendering, for certain color values, you must use a tint value of the main color. For these color values, which are marked with ** (double asterisk), use the helper tool to set the recommended value.
