SmartUI displays page title as "Opentext Content Server". How & where can I change this setting to display the name of our application, so every page/tab that is opened displays this new custom value?
If you're on 16.0.3 or later, the process is described in "CSUI_SDK_Intro.pptx" (https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll/67815965/CSUI_SDK_Intro.pptx?func=doc.Fetch&nodeid=67815965&vernum=1)
The title is a logo so you could replace the original with your own but the more robust solution would be to look at the style override section of the above (slide 63 onwards).
Actually, we have 16.0.4 & have already replaced the logo using override.css. The issue I am talking here is the title of the HTML page in the <head><title></title></head> section. Snapshot attached. For some reason that seemed to have been generated from the code & not the application name in OTDS.
I don't want to manipulate that title using javascript DOM in each page, hence was wondering if there was any resource file where it is stored etc.
I am afraid, that it is not possible to change the page title suffix, because it is hardcoded in Smart UI. The page title follows the following pattern:
"<object name> - Opentext Content Server"
We have discussed this issue recently, coincidentally. The result was the decision to drop the suffix entirely and leave just the object name, which is the approach taken by CS Classic UI:
"<object name>"
Would you prefer having a part of the page title configurable? For example:
"<object name> - <server name>"
The server name can be configured the CS administration - server parameters.
Sorry, this maybe a dumb question. What is <object name> & where does it come from? In our 16.0.4, Smart UI displays only "Opentext Content Server" & there is no "<object name> -" before it. Switching to Classic View just shows Enterprise Home folder name in the title.
We would prefer to display our Content Server application name as the only text in Title of every page.
Please let me know when will this customization be available. Thank you!
============================================
I meant the name of the object - folder, workspace, or other node - which you navigated to in Smart UI, when using the placeholder "<object name>" in the pattern examples. If you navigate to the Enterprise Workspace, you will see a URL like ".../app/nodes/2000" and the page title like "Enterprise - Opentext Content Server".
If you start on the landing page - the URL ".../app" - you have not navigated to any object yet and thus the page title does not contain any object name. It cuts the pattern only to the hardcoded suffix:
"Opentext Content Server"
You requested the server name as the fixed text for every page. You meant the landing page only, didn't you? Once you start browsing and drilling down to folders or other containers, you should like to see the name of the current container in the page title too. See the behaviour of CS Classic UI in this case.
The page title change has been planned for the upcoming CS 16.2.3 to be released this December. The final text has not been finalized yet.
Okay, this totally makes sense now. Our requirement is only to display the internal name we use for our CS instance (its called "Infozone") as each page title.
Currently, the landing page is the Enterprise Home folder which is called "Infozone Home" (from which we can remove the Home word), but all we see is Opentext Content Server in the page title. Perhaps because landing page URL ends in /app & not /app/2000. We will see if we can change that.
But one thing we want for sure is that suffix shoud be optional. Rest can achieved by naming our landing & container folders accordingly.
We are in the process of doing a parallel upgrade to 16.2.2 currently which will be done by next month, but hopefully we can do a patch upgrade to 16.2.3 soon after to avail of this feature release - instead of having to do a full upgrade.
Thanks for your help in clarifying this.
Hi Ferdinand,
Great idea to have a configurable Application Name. Rather than using <server name>, could I suggest a new parameter to be set as <application name>?
Server name at many of the clients I visit is used in a customised footer to allow us to which server behind a load balancer is actually handling the request. Great for the techs, meaningless to most Users. The CS environment is often known with a more generic name such as "DM", "DMS" or something more imaginative.
Thread hijack complete :-)
Ferdinand Prantl,
Please let us know the text pattern that will be finalized for the release 16.2.3, so we can plan to name our objects accordingly.
Thanks
Hi was this ever released into CS16.2.x? I can't see a way to customise this through any method but some development.
Cheers
Are there any updates on this topic? There is a parameter "Site Name" in the Administration menu but it still doesn't change the <title> tag for the Home-Page.
Thank you!
