Applying a White label to the CMS

Applying a white label to your Xibo CMS allows for replacing the Xibo branding with your own corporate branding to include logos, splash screens and about text.

A white label for the Xibo CMS does not change the license. You must retain the appropriate copyright notices and satisfy the terms of the AGPLv3 license: GNU Affero General Public License version 3 | Open Source Initiative

Remove Source and About links

A white label can be generated for the CMS which removes the Source and About links from the login page and also alters the text that appears within the About page throughout the CMS.

Removal of these items does not release a customer or end users from the terms of the AGPLv3 license and therefore the license must be satisfied by the customer via alternative means.

Open a Ticket with our helpdesk via My Account to request a document template for the Alternative Provision of License to complete which will explain how the licence terms will be met with the absence of those items.

There are 3 main points to consider, this is not an exhaustive list and the AGPLv3 should be read and understood in full before submitting a request for these items to be removed:

• The source code or offer of source code must be distributed to your users by another means.
• The source code copyright and licence notifications must not be modified from their original appearance in the source code.
• The licence must be distributed to your users by another means.

These options can only be enabled once we agree that the requirements are fully satisfied.

Purchase and Configure

• Once purchased, click the White Label button from My Account
• Click to open the forms to configure by providing branding information and uploading resources

If you have an accepted Alternative Provision of License, you have an additional License tab to remove the source and about links and provide 'About' text.

• Click the build button to queue

Build and Download

The build process can take up to 10 minutes in some circumstances.

If you see an Error status, check all fields have been completed with no missing information. Ensure that any uploaded images are in the specified formats.

The Application Name cannot be changed after the first build.

Applying White Label Themes

Users on a Plan can have their Theme automatically applied using the Theme selector when adding new CMS instances to the account.

To apply a theme to an existing CMS instance, open a Ticket

Any changes made to the CSS after the white label has been applied will not automatically update to the CMS. Open a Ticket to request an update.
