Topic: ibay / profile drive to /opt/groupoffice/home/users/$username@$domain

[tropicalview]

Dear all,

I find the groupoffice contrib very usefull for the SME server.
But it can be better i think (hope)

Is it possible that SME server can create an ibay or better direct a drive letter to this folder:

 /opt/groupoffice/home/users/$username@$domain

where $username is the username of the person, and $domain is the domain of the server.

In this way the user can place files directly accessable to the web interface of groupoffice.

I hope this is possible.

Kind regards,

if you mean that you want  windows to show (for example:

[ h: your group office folder ]  this should already be possible,    IF your sme-server acts as domain controler  - you could create a batch file with the appropriate 'net use' command,   also there is the posebillyties of  using a set of roaming profiles (to mount your  [my documements ] on your sme-server)   if this is what you do,  you may well just want to  create a sybolic link - you your home / documents  folder  to your   $user@$domain  folder...

you'd than be able to browse - to:  c:\my documents and settings\my username\documents\my groupoffice files\

Hi Ichat,

thank you for your reply.
what i want to archive is about what you wrote of the "H:" drive.

I will search how i can add / change the login batch file that is used for the computers to generate the home drive, and place it in there.
but as far as i understand than we also need to addapt the samba.conf to be able to share this folder.
do you have any instructions  / guidelines how i can do that?

Kind regards

to do so, you have to create a template fragment for smb.conf file; please read the dev's manual to learn how

hi everyone,

i put a new smb.conf in /etc/e-smith/template-custom/etc/ with this strings:

----------------------------
[webdoc]
comment = Cartella Documenti Web
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
writable = yes
printable = no
create mode = 0660
force create mode = 0660
directory mode = 0770
force directory mode = 0770
path = /opt/groupoffice/home/users/$user@$domain
------------------------------------------------

i reconfigure the server trought admin panel and after restart the smb.conf in etc/samba contains ONLY the configuration on top, erasing all other original configurations!

where is the problem?

many many tanks!

hi Alessandro

you should use a fragment, not the entire file.

please search the wiki for the dev's manual and come to italian forum too, thank you

You should use a file /etc/e-smith/template-custom/etc/smb.conf/XXwebdoc.

I think the simplest answer may be to move (or reinstall) that app into an ibay.
Moving it should be easy enough, but you will probably need to change the config files for that app to show the new path details and such like.
You can create a new group and give ownership of the ibay to that group. Then make only those users who need to add files to the groupware folder, members of that group.
This will avoid issues with permissions and ownership should you continue to use /opt/.....
