to remove some settings from Preferences page?

[tiger2000]

Dear All,

Is it possible to customize the display for settings of User's Preferences, like to remove Busy/Free setting from Webclient's Preferences > Calendar page?

[tdesorbaix]

yes it is possible to remove the free-busy in the user preferences by modifying the template :
/opt/zimbra/jetty-6.1.5/webapps/zimbra/templates/prefs/Pages.template.js
The most simple way is to integrate the modified version of the template in the skins. See the skin yahoo for examples.

Thanks for this message, and i did see there's some code for Busy/Free preferences, however, when I remove those codes, restart ZCS, it seems the busy/free preference is still there.

i suppose there're something needed to be done, something like to re-deploy the JS code?? any idea on this?

Thanks.


( i'm sorry but i don't nothing about Jetty. )

Did you integrated the template in the skins like I told you? and redeployed the skins?

[tiger2000]

i've tried two ways:

1. directly modify zimbra/templates/prefs/Pages.template.js , remove those section for Busy/Free preferences. Restart ZCS service, but it seems that i got same result as before, the Busy/Free preferences is still there.

2. i'm not sure if i'm correct or not for "integrate the template into the skins", but i tried to copy Page.template.js to skins/beach/templates/Page.templates.js and again i remove those section for Busy/Free preferences , and run "zmskindeploy beach" , restart ZCS service. it seems i still got same result. there's nothing changed in Busy/Free preference.

i'm sorry but did i do anything wrong?

thanks.

1 - No, it will not work.

2 - You have to put the reference of the template in the file manifest.xml of the skin.

hm.. still got some problem. this is what i've done:

1. goto skins/beach/ , edit manifest.xml , add these lines between <advance> </advanced> tags:

<templates>
<file>templates/Pages.template.js</file>
</templates>

2. copy jetty/webapps/zimbra/templates/prefs/Pages.template.js to jetty/webapps/zimbra/skins/beach/templates/ directory.

3. edit skins/beach/templates/Pages.template.js file and remove those lines for Busy/Free preferences.

4. goto jetty/webapps/zimbra/skins/ , run "zmskinsdeploy beach". Then run zmmailboxdctl restart.

any idea why it doesn't work? Thanks in advance.

I think it should be :

<file>templates/Pages.template</file>

instead of :

<file>templates/Pages.template.js</file>

Look at the yahoo skin as an example.
You can just write the content of the "prefs.Pages#Calendar" template in Pages.template like it is done for an other template in the yahoo skin. Then you deploy the skin, and that will create the .js file automatically.

thanks very much and it's just like what you said.

and now the problem is going to how to change the code for the template.

thanks.
