Has anyone figured out how to customize Public Portal in Cloud outside of the Designer? With on-prem we had access to all of the aspx files, so I'm wondering if anyone has found a workaround to this in Cloud? It would be awesome if Cloud offered a CSS section for Public Portal like they do for Business Processes.

Customizing Public Portal in Cloud?

Hi Michelle,
You cannot modify Public Portal/WebLink on Cloud outside of the options available through the Designer. We are open to feature requests for the Designer though!
What specific changes were you hoping to make through CSS that aren't presently available through Designer?
Hey Sam! Thanks for clarifying. It would be awesome if there was a section for CSS or JavaScript. Kind of like in the Forms Themes Designer.
Alot of our customers have specific requests. Such as hiding and showing things like the metadata pane.
Hi Michelle,
As Sam notes, we don't have a freeform CSS option in Laserfiche Cloud public portal at this time. We'd like to put common needs in the designer, so if there are items that you feel are missing (along with hiding/showing the metadata pane), let us know!
Hi Justin! Here are the most popular:
- Hiding the metadata pane
- Hiding/disabling the column picker
- Adding a box to the front of the welcome page so that text is visible when a background is used
- Hiding all the links in the top bar (Help, Sign Out, etc.)
- Closing the search results when using the search bar on the Welcome page
- Defaulting the customize search
- Hiding the Records Management drop down
Thanks Michelle,
You're definitely giving me some items to take back to the team. Love the specificity!
I'll second having the ability to individually hide the top bar links. That was easily the #1 most requested CSS customization for self-hosted WebLink sites.
Can we second the request to hide the meta-data pane in cloud.
From the folder view, we've found the setting to turn off the home page link (clicking the logo takes a user back to the home search page) but the search pane at the top of the folder still searches across all public folders and not just the one you're in. It would make sense to tie these two functions together, so turning off the home page link (the existing setting) also made the search operate across the current folder. We're seeking a way to link the folder as an iFrame on a website but keeping the users in that folder, so users are only seeing the content they navigate to. IE a search from the minutes folder, only returns content from minutes
Hey @████████ what size should the background image be to stretch across the background for cloud?
A further request came through today, this client would like us to reduce the white window to the left of the grid to give more prominence to the content. In thier application, they're embedding the page in an iFrame on their intranet and only want the grid and not he nav.
Just wanted to bump this post as we have a client that wants to customize weblink to a much finer detail than is allowed through the designer interface. They're looking to change specific items such as spacing, padding, etc. Would be nice if Cloud Public portal had an exposed CSS option.
Just want to bump this post as we are finding the column widths in the portal are not working for us and would like to know how we can adjust the size when the public views them and also to removed a column.
Hi Gina, we have been able to customise the contents to add/remove columns in the grid view however its not exactly intuitive. It involves setting up the required view as a user and then importing that view into the public portal user with the Import Columns function. The very last section has a video where they explain https://doc.laserfiche.com/laserfiche/en-us/Content/Videos-Public-Portal.htm
