Hello again everyone! :)

I've installed a fresh BBB 2.7 on Ubuntu 20.04 yesterday.

I'm nearly completed with the setup.

Im searching and trying now for a while to change the title in the browsertab, but nothing helped.

Can you tell me, how to change the "BigBlueButton" in Greenlight to a customized text?

As I said - I tried some solutions but nothing worked.

Thank you! :)

P.S.: In BigBlueButton it worked - but in Greenlight I can't change the title
P.P.S.: When the page is reloading, for 0.5 sec the customized text is showing. Then it changes back to "BigBlueButton"

I've set in the file application.html.erb the value of <title> how it should be, but it doesnt work.

Has someone any ideas?

I had same issue,  my title is loaded, then immediately overwritten as you said.

https://github.com/bigbluebutton/greenlight/blob/f739387a304b7d8f8d28b5cf5d96e801f7f60546/app/javascript/App.jsx#L53

 this is the line that overwrites your application erb change title.  If you add source file locally, and add to volume,  docker-compose will include your change. 

You need to change in both places unfortunately.

       - ./App.jsx:/usr/src/app/app/javascript/App.jsx


and then docker-compose down then up -d


regards,

Stephen

I am seeing the same issue - the browser title for a fraction of second displays the customized value but becomes "BigBlueButton".
If anyone has success in changing this, please let me know.
I am using 2.7 version.
Thanks,
Gopi

Hi! I made recently a new 2.7 maschine

Now I am at the same point, where this thread started! :)

root@bigbluebutton:~/greenlight-v3# vi /usr/src/app/app/javascript/App.jsx
root@bigbluebutton:~/greenlight-v3# cd /usr/src/app/app/javascript/
-bash: cd: /usr/src/app/app/javascript/: No such file or directory

root@bigbluebutton:~/greenlight-v3# cd /usr/src/
root@bigbluebutton:/usr/src# mkdir app
root@bigbluebutton:/usr/src# cd app/
root@bigbluebutton:/usr/src/app# mkdir app
root@bigbluebutton:/usr/src/app# cd app/
root@bigbluebutton:/usr/src/app/app# mkdir javascript
root@bigbluebutton:/usr/src/app/app# cd javascript/
root@bigbluebutton:/usr/src/app/app/javascript# touch App.jsx

Then I copied https://github.com/bigbluebutton/greenlight/blob/f739387a304b7d8f8d28b5cf5d96e801f7f60546/app/javascript/App.jsx#L53 into this new touched file

root@bigbluebutton:/usr/src/app/app/javascript# cd ~/greenlight-v3/

root@bigbluebutton:/usr/src/app/app/javascript# cd ~/greenlight-v3/
root@bigbluebutton:~/greenlight-v3# touch App.jsx

Then I copied the same data from the link in this file

Then I changed in both new files the <Title>

Then I added in ~/greenlight-v3/docker-compose.yml this lane, as you said:
- ./App.jsx:/usr/src/app/app/javascript/App.jsx

docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d

It worked! =D

Thank you very much again! :)

Cu next time! :)
