Customizing the Templates

There are several "levels" of customization possible:

  1. Change the program name.
  2. Change colors and CSS styling by modifying the CSS file.
  3. Resellers: Remove or change the copyright and "Powered by" text and links.

Change program name

It is easily possible to change the program name from "SnippetMaster PRO" to anything you want by adjusting the Admin Setup -> General -> Program Name value.

Note: if you are using the free LITE version, this feature is disabled.

Change stylesheet

You can easily modify many of the colors and styles displayed in SnippetMaster by modifying the stylsheet file.

  1. Navigate (using File Explorer) into the /templates/ folder.
  2. Rename** the styles-original.cssfile to styles.css. (Remove the "-original" part.)
  3. Modify the styles.css file however you desire.

** The idea behind renaming this file is so that when updates updates to the program are installed, the customizations you have made will not be overwritten. (ie: Each time an update is released, you'll need to manually update your styles.css file with any changes that were included in the new styles.css-original file.)

Remove or change the copyright and "Powered by" text and links.

Please note: Copyright information can be removed ONLY if you purchase the "Reseller" version of the program. If you do not have a reseller license, you will not be able to rebrand the program -- even if you modify the templates!

You can easily modify the copyright and "Powered By" text by modifying the header and footer template files.

Please note: These template files are only activated when SnippetMaster detects a reseller license key is being used. If you are using a Pro regular license or the free LITE version, then the internal templates will be used and any changes you make to the templates below will be ignored.

  1. Navigate into the /snippetmaster/templates/ folder.
  2. Rename** the header-original.htmlfile to header.html. (Remove the "-original" part.)
  3. Rename** the footer-original.html file to footer.html. (Remove the "-original" part.)
  4. Using any text or HTML editing program, you may now modify the header.html and footer.html files however you desire. (ie: You can remove or change the copyright and "Powered By" text.)

    CAUTION: There are a couple of things you should understand before you modify these template files. There are some PHP commands in the templates, so you should have a good understanding of PHP syntax and be familiar with HTML. If you change the files and then things don't work anymore... just restore them from your backup and then try again. It is best if you modify things slowly and do things one step at a time. (e: Make a small change, then test. Then make another small change and test again.)

** The idea behind renaming these files is so that when updates to the program are installed, the customizations you have made will not be overwritten. (ie: Each time an update is released, you'll need to manually update your modified files with any changes that were included in the new files.)
