Updating the final customisation tutorials for the upcoming GS3 release. Now the free template is only available for download as a 7zip file, so users who don't have 7zip are instructed to use the online service at wobzip.org to get it converted to a zip. The instructions also missed out mentioning the two modified javascript files at svn that need to be used to get the main page's collection image slider to work again for the new interface.

    55835583<Text id="dl-17">When we restarted the server throughout this tutorial, Greenstone launched a browser window to <i>http://localhost:8383/greenstone3/library</i>, and we had to navigate to our new library's URL. When you are working in a particular library, you may want to go directly to its URL when the server starts. To do this, in the <b>Greenstone Server</b> window, go to <Path>File &rarr; Settings...</Path> and select your library (for example, <b>rand</b>) from the Servlet dropdown menu. Now, when you click <b>Restart Library</b>, a window will open to <i> http://localhost:8383/greenstone3/rand</i>. </Text>

    55865589<Text id="dl-18">In the GLI, you can change the current library under <Path>File &rarr; Preferences &rarr; Connection</Path>. First, select the <b>Site</b> you want to work with (for example, <i>mysite</i>). The <b>Servlet</b> dropdown menu will then include all of the libraries that use <i>mysite</i>. Select one. Be sure to also change the <b>Collect Directory</b> to the  <i>mysite/collect</i> folder. Click <b>OK</b> for the changes to take effect. Now, you will be adding and editing collections in the <b>mysite</b> site, and, when you click the Preview button, the selected library will be launched.</Text>

    5876 <Text id="ni2-14">First look at the collDescription template. It creates a header that links to the collection's about page (<Format>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="{$library_name}/collection/{$collectionFolder}/page/about"&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select="$collectionName"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;</Format>). Then, if there is an About page image for the collection, this is displayed. Finally, if the collection has a description (<Format>&lt;xsl:when test="$collDesc"&gt;</Format>), it will display this description. Otherwise, it will display the a generic sentence stating the collection's name and how many documents it contains.</Text>

    58775884<Text id="ni2-15">Now, let's look at the collectionsList template. Basically, for every collection in the library (<Format>&lt;xsl:for-each select="./collectionList/collection"&gt;</Format>), it is calling the collDescription template, i.e. doing everything explained in the previous paragraph. However, the CSS we will be using requires that our div's alternate between class "fl_left" and class "fl_right" or the page won't display correctly. So, if the collection is an odd number in the list (<Format>&lt;xsl:when test="position() mod 2 = 1"&gt;</Format>), the collection description will be in a  <Format>&lt;div class="fl_left"&gt;</Format>, otherwise (i.e. when it is an even number in the list) the collection description will be in a  <Format>&lt;div class="fl_right"&gt;</Format>. Once we link our CSS, this will make our descriptions fall into two nice columns.</Text>
