Customize the Magellan site configuration

Magellan user guide

The siteconfig.json file is used to switch parts of your website ON or OFF, or configure the way it operates. It is located in the Magellan engine top-level folder.

Do not modify the siteconfg.json file. Instead, add a copy of the themeconfig.json file generated on publish to <your theme name> top-level folder. Copy and paste settings from the siteconfg.json file and customize as required. The themeconfig.json settings extend or override the same siteconfg.json settings on book publish.

Pro Tip: Keep themeconfig.json as simple as possible, and just copy the settings you want to change from siteconfg.json, as you need to change them.

  • To generate a themeconfig.json file:

  1. Publish your Magellan site.

  2. Download the output and extract the files.

    In the folder you should have a themeconfig.json file.

  3. Upload the themeconfig.json file to Files, into <your theme name> top-level folder.

  4. Copy and paste settings from the siteconfg.json file and customize as required.
