Title: Get your own webmail Logon name
Post by: billi on May 29, 2006, 01:03:49 AM

I found an anwer on how to change the "Welcome to Horde" to your own name but found it not entirely accurate for SME 7.sr2 so here is one that should works.

How to change the name on the logon screen in Webmail
We are going to make a new directory in the templates-custom folder to ensure our changes do not get nixed on restart or upgrade

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/httpd/html/horde/config/registry.php

Next is to copy the base code to the templates custom directory

cp /etc/e-smith/templates/home/httpd/html/horde/config/registry.php/110AppRegistryHorde /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/httpd/html/horde/config/registry.php

Edit (vi)
vi /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home/httpd/html/horde/config/registry.php/110AppRegistryHorde

It should look something like this

// 110AppRegistryHorde
$this->applications['horde'] = array(
    'fileroot' => dirname(__FILE__) . '/..',
    'webroot' => $webroot,
    'initial_page' => 'login.php',
    'name' => _("Horde"),
    'status' => 'active',
    'templates' => dirname(__FILE__) . '/../templates',
    'provides' => 'horde'
);
 
Put your desired name in the name line replacing Horde.

Expand the template by doing

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /home/httpd/html/horde/config/registry.php

It worked for me. Please let me know if there are any problems or better ways to do this.

Thanks it worked fine.

Now if you can find out how to add some custom branding to it :) eg: Own company logo etc

Thanks again

By the way... i am using SME V7 RC3 - not that I expected it to be any different in regards to this, but I just thought I would make note of it for anyone else wondering if it will work for RC3

Create your own theme (under /home/httpd/html/horde/themes).

Kolab is a good one to copy as it uses a logo.

Quote from: "Bug 3181"

After upgrading to SME 7.2, webmail returns error 404 "/imp/redirect.php was
not found on this server"

...

Anyone that has a custom-template of 110AppRegistryHorde is going to be
affected, because of the webroot detection changes in horde 3.1.4.  It doesn't
work as advertised.  Copying the new 110AppRegistryHorde to templates-custom
and then making your changes will allow you to customize your setup once again.

Had the problem with the Webmail that seems to be an unavoidable bug on the upgrade from 7.13 to 7.2
So I read the Bugzilla  Bug#:3181
http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3181

Deleted the template custom entry that I created in the original post

rm /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home -Rf

Used the instructions from the original post and all is back to normal again.

Please be careful with the rm if you have other customizations in the
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/home directory.

William

I tried the motd.php edit and changed the image name to reflect my company logo and it all seemed to work fine until I made the changes to 110AppRegistryHorde and expanded the template.
I now have Welcome to my company name but my logo no longer shows up just an Xed out image so not sure about the relationship between the 110AppRegistryHorde edit and the motd.php edit?

Any ideas appreciated.

Never mind it all works fine!

The only thing I had to change was the 'name' => _("My Company Name"), and I did not have to change the 'webroot' => from the default setting of '/horde',

I expanded the template and everything is working fine now.

Thanks to all who contributed to this thread!!

Having the system come up with the appropriate webname for each domain would be good.

Can it be done?

As of SME Server 7.4, there is a db setting that controls the webmail name, so you don't need to edit the templates any more.

I don't think there's any way of setting the name differently per domain, however.

Can someone fill in the Db details for this?

Code: [Select]

db configuration setprop horde Name [myname]
signal-event email-update

does the trick quite nicely.
