haha sorry, it was a double negative "can not download nothing" would mean they could download everything (or something like they couldn't use it without downloading!)

Hi

I have installed HAP on our network and its working great.

We do have just a couple of questions in regards to customising the site.

We'd like to know if its possible to change the menu headings, for instance, in the "My Computer" browser, is it possible to change the display name from "My School Computer" to something else? I think this is mostly for the extended version of the browser.

Also, how easy would it be to change the general look and feel of the site, as in the colours of backgrounds and boxes etc?

Many thanks
Ray

Hi, Just wondering if any one has any thoughts on my last post as it's been a few days.

Appreciate your busy though.

Changing the 'My School Computer' is easy enough:
Open up MyComputerSL.aspx and scroll down to line 60 to alter.

In terms of general look and feel, first place to start for colours etc would be the css files - there's a couple in the root plus ones for the booking system and helpdesk in their respective folders. Best way to see how they affect the site is to change bits and see what happens (all backed up, obviously..)

Thanks for your reply.

The general look and feel of the site we have managed to tweak by doing exaclty as you suggested... and making sure we took backup's excesivly

In regards to the MyComputerSL.aspx, line 60 is part of the <div id="silverlightControlHost">
I cant see anything in here which changes the text that is displayed on the layout of the extended computer browser.
The specific bit we'd like to change is as best I can describe it the "folder path list" just above the documents and just beneath the "home", "new folder", "view" tool bar on the file browser pages. I suspect this might be part of the silverlight / javascript coding, but i'm not sure.

If you can shed any more light on this, it would be great.

As the environment we are placing this utility is not a school, it would be nice to remove the references to "My School Computer"

Many Thanks

I think the line I was talking about should be a couple of lines above your line 60 then: <h1>My School Computer - Extended Version</h1>
That only changes the title on the page though, not the folder path - I suspect you're right about that being in the silverlight code.

[raytowle]

I think we found that line and changed it....
It would be nice if we could change the bit i'm talking about, but we're not really into silverlight programming, so was hoping some one on here might know how to change this.

Here's hoping that Nickbro can shed some light on this if he's not too busy.

Thanks

The silverlight code can't be changed without editing the source project. The rest is all CSS styled

[raytowle]

Thanks for clarifying this.

On the latest version, is it normal for the Home Access Plus Home and Basic Version links to be plain HTML? These used to be fancy buttons.

Hi

Having now done a full install of HAP, and got it working.... we are having intermittent issues on a regular basis with downloading files. Once downloaded, they corrupt. Some files open with no problems, and on other occasions, the server times out.
We have other websites running on the server, and dont experience any loss in conectivity to them.
Has any one seen this before, and any ideas where we might start looking for problems? We don't think its an internet connection problem as the other websites stay up and running.... could it be that HAP has a time out or struggles when multiple files are accessed at the same time?

Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

@nickbro

@Edu-IT, it was changed to allow you to customize the text on the buttons, and link locations. It's to actually keep it more inline with the rest of HAP+ which uses plain links like that.
