Maybe you are looking for this:
/var/www/bigbluebutton-default/assets/index.html

Cheers, Patryk

Hi Zufar, the landing page that you showed is in Greenlight 3.0.4

I have modified my Greenlight landing page as per the instructions at  

 
I changed 3 files, en.jsonHomepageFeatureCard.jsx,  HomePage.jsx

So that my landing page looks like this, see attachment, which also has the changes that I made to each file.
Dont forget to make the changes to docker-compose.yml as per the instructions, for me they were

    - ./en.json:/usr/src/app/app/assets/locales/en.json
      - ./HomePage.jsx:/usr/src/app/app/javascript/components/home/HomePage.jsx
      - ./HomepageFeatureCard.jsx:/usr/src/app/app/javascript/components/home/HomepageFeatureCard.jsx

I trust that this helps

I made similar changes

HomePage.jsx for the design of the front page
Footer.jsx for setting: that there are 3 links in the bottom (and removed Greenlight text)
de.json and de.yml for some text edits

sudo docker ps
*find the container ID and add it to the following code instead of xxxx

Next add nano editor to the docker container

Hi,
I also run bbb 2.6.9 and greenlight v3 on my server.
The strange thing is, those directorys doens't exist:
/usr/src/app/
Any idea where I can find to html files for the bbb landing page?

Thanks
Robin

Hi Robin,

Get inside the Greenlight Docker container you will find those folders inside that. 

See my previous message in this conversation.

Anand

You'll find the two system-wide welcome parameters
 
sudo nano /usr/share/bbb-web/WEB-INF/classes/bigbluebutton.properties

defaultWelcomeMessage=
defaultWelcomeMessageFooter=

Change these 2 lines above lines

Hahaha. This one was already there in BBB customization documentation.  The BBB greenlight customization took me nearly 2 or 3 days to find it out.

Hello

Which en.json file do I need to edit in order to change the string " To invite someone to the meeting, send them this link"?

1) It's not here

/usr/share/bbb-web/WEB-INF/classes/bigbluebutton.properties

defaultWelcomeMessage=
defaultWelcomeMessageFooter=


2)  And it's not here

Next edit Greenlight going into the below-given files. 

Edit Home page
nano /usr/src/app/app/assets/locales/en.json


Thank you

Hi.

Anand,

I was trying to change title in
/usr/src/app/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
but it doesn't work for me. Title is still BigBlueButton.

And directories not found for
/usr/src/app/app/javascript/components/shared_components/Footer.jsx
/usr/src/app/app/javascript/components/home/HomePage.jsx

What am I missing?

Regards,
AS

I noticed that after editing the /usr/src/app/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb and pressing renew button in browser, title changes for a moment and then returns back, to the default value "BigBlueButton".

Anyway, it would be great to change these files in the image...
