Customization Dspace JSPUI Interface

Let us know how to customize the JSPUI interface in DSpace 6.3 version

1. Replace the default DSpace Branding Heading and Dspace logo

Create a Header image, Put it in the home folder, and Copy it into the jspui/image folder from the home folder.

Find the below lines in the file and comment with the tags (<%-- --%>)

    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-9 brand">
            <h1><fmt:message key="jsp.layout.header-default.brand.heading" /></h1>
            <fmt:message key="jsp.layout.header-default.brand.description" />
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-3"><img class="pull-right" src="<%= request.getContextPath() %>/image/logo.gif" alt="DSpace logo" />
