Greenlight-v3 Branding and Changing the frontend page

[Gant Forneus]

Hi there everyone,

I'm trying to change the frontend of my instance, I was able to change the logo in the top left corner, but I'm having some issues figuring out everything else. I've been utilizing the apply-conf.sh file to apply my settings, but when I try to the change the default "Welcome to BigBlueButton" and the description below, it doesn't load onto the website, even though the index.html file has been edited. Is there more current documentation for this or does someone know how edit the landing page. Thank you.

This is indeed not quite easy in the V3 version
You can find the text files in
var\lib\docker\overlay2\xxxxxx\diff\usr\src\app\assets\locales\

I would be happy to help you directly if you write to me.

Hey, thanks for the response. I've edited and backed up the original en.json file at the location, however it's still the same default wording, what could be the issue?

[DistanceLearning.cloud]

edit docker-compose.yml

add the second line 

volumes:
- ./data/greenlight-v3/storage:/usr/src/app/storage
- ./en.json:/usr/src/app/app/assets/locales/en.json

copy your modified to /root/greenlight-v3/en.json

then do the docker compose down; docker compose up -d

You can do this for individual source files as well,  so all your code changes sit in greenlight-v3 directory and override the original when docker packages the compress files for running.

Works great...more details here

Hey there, so I'm running into another headache. I can't figure out how to change the favicon of a new bigbluebutton instance I have going, in the file structure there are tons of favicon files, but I'm not sure which one is the one that has to be changed,
cp /mnt/DATA01/bbb-update/Favicon.ico /var/www/bigbluebutton-default/images/favicon.ico

docker cp /mnt/DATA01/bbb-update/Favicon.ico greenlight-v3:/usr/src/app/public/favicon.png

These are my lines of code referring to the favicons I think would change it, but it hasn't updated on the frontend.

Thanks again for the help last time :)

try copying to /var/www/bigbluebutton-default/assets/favicon.ico   and it should work for both BBB server and GL

Its cached in your browser.  so try another browser or incognito to see it change right away.

Or try from mobile.
