This section contains community-contributed tutorials for getting the most out of APG vNext version 3.
Skinning and Theming
APG vNext v3 uses ASP.NET's built-in theme system. Each theme is a folder under App_Themes/ containing CSS files and images. To create a custom theme:
- Copy the default theme folder and rename it.
- Edit the CSS files to match your desired design.
- Select your new theme in Admin Panel → Settings → Default Theme.
Creating Custom Mods
APG vNext v3 supports module-based extensions. Custom mods can add new functionality without modifying core files. See the Mod Forum for community contributions.
Configuring Email Notifications
To configure SMTP email for user notifications and admin alerts:
- Go to Admin Panel → Settings → Email.
- Enter your SMTP server, port (typically 25 or 587), and credentials.
- Use the "Test Email" button to verify the settings work.
- Set the "From" address to a valid email address on your domain to avoid spam filtering.
SEO Configuration
APG vNext v3 includes built-in SEO features. Enable them in Admin Panel → Settings → SEO to get clean URLs, meta descriptions, and sitemap generation.
