Description
Making changes to the web server displays is a common request.
Plugins provide a way for you to overwrite and customize any display and is the best long term solution.
A short term solution is to modify the CloudBees CD (CloudBees Flow) provided .php files.
Here are a couple of short display modification examples.
Distinguishing visual tags for multiple web servers
You have multiple web servers running CloudBees CD (CloudBees Flow). How do you know which of the web servers you are on if the GUI presentations all look the same?
Modify any of the following files on the CloudBees CD (CloudBees Flow) Web server:
-
Change the text. The file StdFrame.php found in ./apache/htdocs/commander/lib is shared by all UI displays from the individual web server.
-
Place text before the "Logged in as" text - to include, say the host name of the web server: "On host Production Logged in as".
-
-
Change the text color: The file StdStyles.css found in ./apache/htdocs/commander/sytles is shared by all UI displays from the individual web server.
-
Change the color of the "Logged in as" text by the tag "loggedInMessage in StdStyles.css - to say yellow, "0F0F00".
-
-
Change the color of the frame banner: The file frame_bannerBg.gif is found in ./apache/htdocs/commander/lib/images/frame_bannerBg.gif.
-
Use paint to change the color of the frame banner to say green.
-
Use the browser refresh to have the change take effect.
Adding text to the login display
You have a company security policy you want all users to see before login.
Modify the following file on the CloudBees CD (CloudBees Flow) Web server:
-
Change the text in the file login.php found in ./apache/htdocs/commander
-
Place text before the "new HtmlSection("<h1>" . ecgettext("Login") . "</h1> ")," text. For example:
new HtmlSection("<table border=\"1\"><tr><td><h3>Your Security Policy here. <br/> Remainder of Security Policy here.</h3></td></tr></table> "),
-
Use the browser refresh to have the change take effect.
