Hello all,

Please forgive me for posting this in the wrong place if I did but I tried to find my answers for an hour or so and Im admitting I need a clue ....

Where is the info section in the forum that tells you how to customize your site and site. Im sure its here but I guess I am totally missing it..... for example, Id like to change whats on the login page,

PhpCollab : Log In

To:

"whateverIwant" : Log In

And so forth.

A point in the right direction would be most helpful.
Thanks
Ben

Ben,

You can change the PHPCollab in the settings.php file.

Depending on how far you want to go, you can tweak a lot of text in the language files and in the ~themes/xxx/block.php file. Be careful though what you edit in the block.php as it can cause the program to crash.

We are planning to implement a better template system in version 3.

As always, post here what your trying to do and one of the community members will try to helpto the best of their ability.

Thank you for that info. I was able to change the title the browser shows for the site but was unable to find where to change something else. Upon 1st install, on the login page, there is some text above "please login". It looks like this "PhpCollab : Log In". Im looking for the information on how to change that PhpCollab part into whatever I want.

Thx again
Ben

Ben,

Here are the instructions for changing the header on the login page.

Open the ~/general/login.php file

For version 2.4:
on approximately line 232 you should see:
$block1->heading("PhpCollab : ".$strings["login"]);

Change that to:
$block1->heading("WhateverYouWant : ".$strings["login"]);


For version 2.5:
on line approximately 393 you should see:
$block1->heading("PhpCollab : ".$strings["login"]);

Change that to:
$block1->heading("WhateverYouWant : ".$strings["login"]);


Note:
In the CVS version, and soon to be 2.5RC4, this has changed and the login page will read the title from the $setTitle variable listed in the ~/includes/settings.php file.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Here is another post that might help as well. this post explains how to change all of the PHP branding on the whole site. Worked well for me.

[MOD] branding changes to reflect sitename

Ben,

I'd recommend you upgrade to 2.5RC3. It has a lot of bug fixes and a few new features. Plus it is a lot more stable than 2.4!
