Simple page changes

[SeanAustin]

I installed Inventree with the installer on a Linux virtual machine running ubuntu. I have not made any changes to the server, it currently starts when the virtual machine boots.

I have a basic understanding of python and have been trying to make some simple changes but have hit a wall. I just want to customize the site to show my companies info. I have edited the config file by uncommenting the customization options. The only thing I changed was adding the location of the logo file. I have restarted my server but I do not see any of the changes. Is there something else I need to restart to push the change? I also see that I can make the changes with an environment variable but have not been able to figure out where the environment variables should be placed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• What have you set the custom logo path to?
• is there a custom.logo located at that path?

I placed a custom logo in the same directory as the config, etc/inventree, the file is named logo.

This is the code that i changed,

# Customization options
# Add custom messages to the login page or main interface navbar or exchange the logo
# Use environment variable INVENTREE_CUSTOMIZE or INVENTREE_CUSTOM_LOGO
customize:
login_message: InvenTree demo instance - <a href='https://docs.inventree.org/en/latest/demo/'> Click here for login details</a>
#   navbar_message: <h6>InvenTree demo mode <a href='https://docs.inventree.org/en/latest/demo/'><span class='fas fa-info-circle'></span></a></h6>
logo: /etc/inventree/logo.png
#   splash: splash_screen.jpg
#   hide_admin_link: true
#   hide_password_reset: true

None of these changes have appeared even after restarting the server. I am not sure if I need to run a command to get the server to look for these changes. Currently the server starts when I start my VM. I am not sure if any extra configuration is needed to tell the server to look for the config file.

You need to pay attention to the correct indentation. login_message and the other options are sub options of customize. In yml syntax every space before a key matters. You would need to have the following (two spaces or one tab before each key):

customize:
  login_message: InvenTree demo instance - <a href='https://inventree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/demo/'> Click here for login details</a>
#   navbar_message: <h6>InvenTree demo mode <a href='https://inventree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/demo/'><span class='fas fa-info-circle'></span></a></h6>
  logo: logo.png
#   hide_admin_link: true
#   hide_password_reset: true

As per the docs, the custom logo must be located relative to the static files directory. You can't just chuck it anywhere

It seems the syntax was the issue, once i fixed the indenting the changes appeared. Thank you for your help.
