Own URL & Redirects

URL

When your platform is initially created, it is assigned a default URL with a .loftos.com domain. However, you can customize this URL by setting up a (sub)domain. This process involves configuring the A-Record, an external resource, to point to our platform's IP address, which is 3.125.75.36. By following these steps, you can seamlessly integrate your platform with your preferred domain, enhancing its branding and accessibility.

⚠️ Important: Ensure not to inadvertently create an IPv6 address in an AAAA-record, as this functionality is currently not operational. Stick to configuring the A-Record with the provided IPv4 address (3.125.75.36) to avoid compatibility issues and ensure smooth domain mapping for your platform.

Redirects

Whenever you update the URL of your platform, it is crucial to set up a redirect from the old URL to the new one. Failing to do so could result in users losing access to the platform if they continue using the old URL. By implementing a redirect, you ensure seamless navigation for users who are accustomed to the previous URL, directing them to the updated address without any disruption in their access.

Design & Logo

Design your page according to your branding colors and fonts:

• General Logo
• Logo for Header Bar
• Layout
• Font
• Accent Color
• Color for the Header Bar
• Background color
• Dark Mode

For more information, checkout the Design Settings.

Entry Pages

Define the page that users see when they are not logged in and access the platform, and the page they see once they are logged in. Also, specify the page users land on when they click on the breadcrumb. Ensure to select the appropriate option from the dropdown menu.

Platform Languages

LoftOS provides the flexibility to tailor your platform to various languages, ensuring accessibility and user comfort. Within this section, adding new languages to your platform is a simple process.

Utilizing an integrated version of DeepL, an automated translation tool, LoftOS facilitates dynamic translation of content. However, it is crucial to remember that static content undergoes translation only once. Any changes made to static content post-translation will not automatically update.

Additionally, it Is essential to recognize that translation quality may vary depending on the language. European languages typically receive higher-quality translations compared to others, such as Chinese (with support limited to simplified Chinese at present).

💡 Please make sure that the platform language is set to match the language of your article or blog post before you begin writing. Otherwise, this can cause issues with the automated translation. You'll find the language options at the bottom left corner.

Contact Information

Once you've entered your contact information, it will be automatically added to the footer of all e-mails sent from your platform, helping to build trust with your users and establish your brand identity. In this section, you'll input vital contact details for your organization, including the organization's name, support team e-mail address, and phone number. These details are mandatory under GDPR regulations and will be displayed in the footer of e-mails sent from your platform. Accuracy and currency are essential to ensure users can contact you with any queries or concerns. Once entered, this information will be automatically appended to all platform e-mails, bolstering user trust and reinforcing your brand identity.
