Re: [SGD-Users] How-To customize SGD login and authentication page

[Rick Butland]

Hello, and sorry for the delayed response.

1.  Index form / landing page - Well, the initial default index page is 
located in:

/opt/tarantella/webserver/apache/{version}/htdocs

index.html is a link to the locale, such as index_en.html, and just sets 
up a frameset, with topFrame_en.html, leftFrame.html, webtop_en.html, 
and bottomFrame_en.html.  Edit these as necessary.

When making changes, for Apache's html files, backup the existing files 
before making any changes.  For Tomcat, it's better to create a new 
version of the various resources by copying them.

You'll note that the images refer to "/sgd/resources/images/" which is 
mapped to the Tomcat directory 
/opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcat/{version}/webapps/sgd, so that, for 
example, to locate the "sgdLogo.gif" file referred to topFrame_en.html, 
refer to 
/opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcat/{version}/webapps/sgd/resources/images/webtop/sgdLogo.gif"

So, you can change the html in htdocs as necessary, but if you want to 
make changes to graphics, you'll want to create a new version by copying 
the existing directories (see the "copy" step below:)

2.  For the login form, the JSP directory is: 
.../sgd/webtops/standard/...  with icons from 
.../sgd/resources/images/login

So, to make your own login form,  what you'll want to do is create your 
own  directory to work in, like:

$ cd .../sgd/
$ cp -Rfp resources custom_resources
$ cp -Rfp webtops/standard webtops/custom
$ cp standard.jsp custom.jsp

In .../sgd/webtops/custom/authentication is login.jsp, which refers to 
images in .../sgd/custom_resources/images/login/ such as "mainnew.gif", 
"maintop.gif", etc - change these elements to fit your needs, and modify 
login.jsp (the "table" on line 133 may need to have height and width 
altered, "color" on line 149) as necessary.

To enable this new scheme, you'll want to got to .../sgd and copy 
standard.jsp to custom.jsp.  Edit this file to use the appropriate 
resource directories - basically, any reference to "resources/jsp/" 
change to "custom_resources/jsp/".  Similarly, any references to 
"standard" change to "custom".  Finally, edit the index.jsp to load 
custom.jsp.

3.  Make changes to the webtop itself - The webtop JSP's will now be in 
"...sgd/webtops/custom/webtop" - edit as appropriate. The image files 
will be located in ".../sgd/custom_resources/images/webtop", and the 
strings directory in ".../sgd/custom_resources/strings" - in the file 
JSPResources.properties are "strings" that control certain messages the 
user sees on their webtop - fairly self-explanatory.

Anyway, hope that's a start ...

Regards,
Rick
