Modify ResourceSpace Welcome message.

[Jeffrey Rickeard]

Hi.

I am trying to add a custom message to the Welcome box in the top left of the home page on the new slim design. I'm running svn 7117 on CentOS7 with Apache/MarieDB. Check Installation returns all OK, no issues (exiftool, imagemagick, ufraw etc all installed).

I went to Team Centre/Manage Content and searched for "Home" and Welcome" etc. I was able to find the relevant message and it correctly showed the default wording. I changed this to my desired text and saved, but when I went to the Home page, nothing had changed.

I then went back and re-edited the text, but this time selected the group of the user that I was logged on with. Still no luck after logging back in - haven't restarted the server yet.

When I re-entered the Manage Content area of Team Centre and performed the same search, this time for the updated wording, I now find that each time I edited the text and applied it to a different user group, or the same, an additional copy of the same "home" entry was shown in the search results, i.e. I have 3 identical "home"/"Welcome to ResourceSpace" text configurations, 2 with no user group entered and 1 with the user group my user belongs to. I have tried this also as a Super Admin, but just seem to be creating a quantity of this particular configuration, with none of them having any affect on my "home page Welcome" message.

What am I doing wrong and how do I remove the additional "home" "Welcome" configurations that are now displayed when searching "Manage Content".

PS. In another post that has not yet passed the newbies spam check, I had asked about the transform and embedslideshow plugins not seen to be working. This is now solved.

1 Transform shows as a menu option for all NEW assets after I enabled it - not sure whey the old ones don't get the option, but happy it is OK moving forward - I find it great to crop and magnify to original pixel H and V then add as alternative file.

2. EmbedSlideshow was OK for thumbs, but not for full preview (700px). I found that I needed to make the collection Public, now all OK (i thought the docs said this and I had done so, but obviously not). My remaining question if I see my post come online, is to work out how to adjust the slideshow preview image to fill the full HD monitor screen, i.e. 1920x1080px image (or max vertical for portrait images). Currently there is no where to enter the option that I can see, with the default being 700 H pixels. My original images are all Canon CR2 raw, i.e. approx 6000x4000 (3:2 aspect).

Thanks for any/all advice.

Cheers

Jeff.

Make sure you're editing the desired language. If you edit British English, and use another language with an entry for welcome text, your changes won't show.

Thanks very much Allison.

That did the trick, perfect!

When in the Team Centre/Managing Content page, I note that the default language is listed underneath the top title bar, initially making it invisible. As you scroll down the page, it becomes exposed when the page appears to scroll over the top of the stationary text. Is this supposed to happen or is it a legacy created by the slim header design. In the screen shot below, it is exposed (in red) after I scrolled down about a centimetre.

Can we remove the block entirely?

I've found the easiest way to make global changes of this nature is to identify the name of the tag that contains what you want gone and use a simple plugin CSS style to set its display property to 'none'.

That way the mod persists even with upgrades.

For this item specifically there is a config.php option to toggle it off. Set the below to true to hide that block:

# Hide Welcome Text
$no_welcometext = false;
