Hi

Wher would I change the title page where it says BigBlueButton, I've changed the title attribute in BigBluebutton.html but seems to change back when the flex side of things load up.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Mark,

In 0.81 the page title is set to the name of the meeting. We've done this so that you can tell different tabs apart. If you want to change the prefix of "BigBlueButton" you need to change the line here, https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/blob/master/bigbluebutton-client/src/org/bigbluebutton/main/model/users/UserService.as#L108 and rebuild the client.

Now that's I've looked at it again though I'm going to change it. I'm going to put the prefix in the JavaScript code so that you don't need to recompile in order to edit it.

Just a follow up to my previous message.

I've modified how the client page title is set. The Flash client now just sends the meetingName to a JavaScript method and then the JS method sets the title. You can find the method here, https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/blob/master/bigbluebutton-client/resources/prod/lib/bbb_blinker.js#L2. You could just change the "BigBlueButton" part of the prefix to whatever name your wanted or you could change the method up completely.

If your server is a version of 0.81 and it's the packaged client you should be able to find bbb_blinker.js at /var/www/bigbluebutton/client/lib/bbb_blinker.js.

It's ok I've figured it out.

Thanks for your help.
