Hello Rebecca: Here's an extract from the new Sakai OAE O'Reilly book on the welcome widget. The full book is available at oreilly.com
=====begin extract==== Change the Landing Page When people first visit Sakai OAE, the landing page introduces some key themes about OAE. The area which displays the Permeable / Social / Personal / Remixable image is actually a widget, a small block of customized code which runs inside the Sakai OAE environment. In order to start customizing a widget, OAE needs to know where to find the revised widget. Just like the CSS and JavaScript file location indication done in section “Configure OAE for CSS, Property and JavaScript Changes” on page 35, the widget location is indicated with a new Filesystem Resource Provider. Open your browser to http://localhost:8080/system/console and login again with the default username and password admin/admin. Click the Configuration button to get over to the Sling configuration manager. Click the plus (+) button next to Apache Sling Filesystem Resource Provider to create an entry overriding the devwidget location. For Provider root , enter: /devwidgets For Filesystem root , enter: /Users/username/source/sakai-ux/devwidgets Leave the other values at their defaults and click Save. Refresh your browser and scroll back down to the Apache Sling Filesystem Resource Provider. Under the Filesystem Resource Provider heading there are now two entries for org.apache.sling.fsprovider.internal.FsResourceProvider with unique sufffix strings: one for your local dev location and now another for your local devwidgets location. The welcome screen widget is located in sakai-ux/devwidgets/welcome . In the welcome.html file, substitute a new image for the landing page: <img src="/devwidgets/welcome/images/sakai_default.png" alt="__MSG__KEYWORDS__"> change to <img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7013/6620145495_c5208b58de_n_d.jpg"; alt="__MSG__KEYWORDS__"> In the default.properties file, provide some new keywords for the alternate text for screen readers: KEYWORDS = Sakai: Permeable, Social, Personal, Remixable change to KEYWORDS = St. Paul's doorway image courtesy of Ian Dolphin, used under the Creative Commons Attribution, Noncommercial, No Derivative works license. Also change the first set of display text and link: WELCOME_ITEM1_TITLE = Permeable WELCOME_ITEM1_LINK = /create#l=group WELCOME_ITEM1_LINK_TEXT = Form various types of groups WELCOME_ITEM1_OTHER_TEXT = to work with people in your way change to WELCOME_ITEM1_TITLE = Open WELCOME_ITEM1_LINK = /categories WELCOME_ITEM1_LINK_TEXT = Explore WELCOME_ITEM1_OTHER_TEXT = all the public work at our institution Fnally, make a quick and dirty change to make this first link active for anyone who visits OAE, not just to people who are currently logged in. In welcome.html , modify the two if statements associated with the first welcome link to always be true by changing {if !anon} to {if true} . This section of code will now look like <h2>__MSG__WELCOME_ITEM1_TITLE__</h2> {if true} {if '__MSG__WELCOME_ITEM1_LINK__'.substr(0,1) === '#'} <button class="s3d-link-button" data-trigger="${'__MSG__WELCOME_ITEM1_LINK__'.substr(1)}"> {else} <a class="s3d-regular-links" href="__MSG__WELCOME_ITEM1_LINK__"> {/if} {else} <span class="s3d-regular-links"> {/if} __MSG__WELCOME_ITEM1_LINK_TEXT__ {if true} {if '__MSG__WELCOME_ITEM1_LINK__'.substr(0,1) === '#'} </button> {else} </a> {/if} {else} </span> {/if} <span> __MSG__WELCOME_ITEM1_OTHER_TEXT__</span> Sign out of OAE (if you’re signed in) and refresh the landing page at http://localhost:8080 . (see Figure 4-11). =====end of extract==== On Jun 23, 2012, at 7:58 PM, juan wang wrote: > Hi: > > I am trying to delete the attached images "welcome" widget on the index.html > page.
