[GeoNode-users] geonode customization

[Jeffrey Johnson]

Hi Eugenio,

Im going to let Tom or one of the other Metadata Gurus answer all the
metadata questions, but I can say that the best way to customize the
front end of your geonode is to use template project here
https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode-project and then edit the base
templates and css in your project using bootstrap. If you want to add
new categories or topics to your data, it is better to use something
like keywords to manage that rather than changing the standard
metadata models. You can then leverage the search engine / api to
change how these are presented in the UI.

Hope that helps,

Jeff
