Hi,

I have BBB installed and running from apt packages on an Ubuntu 10.10 
64-bit VPS.

I have purged the BBB demo clients (apt-get purge bbb-demo).

So my server is running with just the default client.

I want to change the <title> in the page <head>. It's currently showing 
'BigBlueButton'.

I don't manage to find where to hack. Please could you reveal the 
necessary secret? :-)

TIA if so, ;-)

Hi David,

Is it an option for you to run on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit?   We (the developers) design, develop, test, and deploy on Ubuntu 10.04.  We've not tested on 10.10 and you will likely encounter (subtle) incompatibilities.

Regards,... Fred

Sorry, I made a mistake when I posted. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04
64-bit, not 10.10 as I stated...

Stephen's answer here, https://groups.google.com/d/msg/bigbluebutton-dev/zOdZhqc3SIM/lekQSVzVx4kJ, should still apply.

You'll need to set up a development environment for the client and compile it.

Hi Chad,

Thanks for the answer, I looked at the thread.

find / -name 'bigbluebutton.html' does not find that file anywhere on my VPS...

Please could you tell me where is bigbluebutton.html located when you
only have the default client installed, with the bbb-demo package
purged?

TIA for any advice, :-)

Hi,

I should have been looking for BigBlueButton.html (in my installation,
it's in /var/www/bigbluebutton/client

One can change the title there, but you also have to change it in
/var/www/bigbluebutton/client/lib/bbb_blinker.js (line 27).

document.title = 'BigBlueButton';

You change 'BigBlueButton' to 'WhateverTitleYouWant'

Thanks for the advice. ;-)
