1 How to migrate to Chameleon Step 1 Sign in to the Affiliate center using your Customer Identification Number (or CID), username and password. If you have forgotten your username or password, click on the link and we will it to you. Step 2 You will see a banner promoting Chameleon, which reads Chameleon has arrived. Click on the yellow Learn More button. If you do not see the banner, please contact us at support@ean.com.

2 Step 3 Scroll to the bottom of the next page and click on the yellow Get Chameleon button.

3 Step 4 Read through the Notice of Terms that appears in an overlay and click on the blue Upgrade Now! button. Clicking Upgrade Now initiates the upgrade process; it does not publish your upgraded site live. You will be able to make any necessary customizations in the next steps before you put it live.

4 Step 5 You now have access to the Control Panel where you can customize your site s look and feel, or you can choose to publish your upgraded site with the default color scheme immediately. To complete the upgrade without making any customizations click the green Publish button. Note: We recommend uploading a new custom header prior to publishing, as it will not carry over automatically from your old template. Continue to Step 6 for instructions. Step 6 (optional customizations) To integrate your own header and footer designs, choose the Design > Custom Content option from the grey menu bar. Your header and footer images should be 960px wide to fit the width of the Chameleon template. This is a different size from the old template and will need to be resized prior to publishing.

5 Follow the on screen instructions for linking to your header and footer images. If you see a message like the one illustrated below after validation, click on the Show Preview link at the bottom of the screen to check that your images are being processed correctly. The visual preview will open in an overlay. It can take some time to load the preview so be patient if you see a blank grey area at first.

6 Once you have validated and previewed your header and footer images, click the Submit button. You will see a message informing you that deployment of your changes may take 5 minutes. If you are ready to put your Chameleon template live now, go back to the Dashboard and click the green Publish button. Or follow the next step to make color customizations to your template.

7 Step 7 (optional customizations) Click on the Design > Template Design option from the grey menu bar. Here you will find the visual themes, which you can customize. The travelnow theme is the default theme, which you can revert to at any time. Use the travelnow1 theme to make your customizations by clicking on the Customize Theme link (with the travelnow1 theme selected) to choose your colors.

8 To create your own color palette click on the Customize Theme link, choose the elements you want to customize and click on the blocks of color to pick your new color. You can preview the changes by clicking Expand Preview below (it may take a few seconds to reload and show your changes).
