change company_home property

space — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 18:13:09 GMT

I want to change company_home to = "home". I can do this by changing the webclient.properties file in the Alfresco code. Is there a way to do this in the extension directory. Please don't blindly point me to a document unless there is an explicit example. I find most Alfresco documentation lack

If you're using Tomcat, you should be able to put the .properties file in tomcat/share/classes/alfresco/messages as described on the Language Pack Installation wiki page.

However, this extension mechanism is designed for additional language packs, so I'm not 100% sure what will happen if you try to override the default webclient.properties file. Give it a go!

Thanks. That is close. I only want one language to be available at login though. I added another webclient_xx_XX.properties file to TOMCAT/common/classes/alfresco/messages, edited web-client-config-custom.xml and it worked fine. Problem is I only want one choice of language, the default. When I added languages in this way I end up with multiple choices for languages. I am thinking that it may be easier to just change the webclient.properties in the Alfresco code base, recompile and be done with it. In my experience customizing Alfresco has not been as easy as the Alfresco says it should be. Any more suggestions are always welcome. If I stumble across the answer I will post it.
