Geoportal Extension Customization Overview

The possibilities for customizing a Geoportal are limitless, but these are some ideas to get you started. The Geoportal Resource Center is a valuable source for more customization tips and samples. The customizations described in this section can be achieved without altering the Geoportal extension source code. If you are customizing the Geoportal source code, please refer to the Geoportal extension JavaDoc online, also available in the Geoportal extension distribution package.

Tip:

Customizing the Geoportal is easier if you understand its basic architecture. A review of the Geoportal Extension Layout and Tiles and Geoportal Extension File Organization is recommended.
