Removing link to Zimbra Desktop in 5.0.4

[Chewie71]

We're not prepared yet to offer the Zimbra Desktop as a supported option at our institution.

I remember seeing a thread about this in the last day or so but can't seem to find it. Someone mentioned there was a way to remove the Zimbra Desktop (Offline) link from the Web UI.

Could someone point me to that?

Thanks,
Matt

(Afterwards - restart the server(s)/empty the jetty work folder, empty your browser cache, and visit the page again.)

Should be able to append to the bottom of a css file like /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/webapps/zimbra/css/common.css or in /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/webapps/zimbra/skins/_base/base2/skin.css a style:

switch_to_offline { display:none; }

or

#skin_td_switch_offline{ display:none; }

/opt/zimbra/mailboxd/webapps/zimbra/skins/_base/base2/skin.html

span id="switch_to_offline">a href="" target="_new" >fmt:message key="switchToOfflineClient" />/a>/span>

I know Zimbra is excited about desktop and its owned by Yahoo etc, but do we really need yet more advertising in the client that we have to find and disable? At least a config value to switch it off like the yahoo search 'feature'..

We added the function to the common.css and no change occurred. We even tried putting with a period in front like the other functions were in the css file. Both ways: no change.

Are you sure there is no other steps.

For me, this single addition to the end of common.css worked:

#skin_td_switch_offline{ display:none; }

MisterLas, Welcome to the forums!
You can also apply a style in skin.css - I've updated my prior post with pretty much every reference to the offline link in the code.

Thanks for your help on this matter.

I was able to append the "#skin_td_switch_offline{ display:none; }" to end of a skin.css of a different theme, and it worked fine. But we use sky as the default theme for our employees (and they cannot change the skin) and there is no sky skin.css. Also, we don't have a "_base2" folder. We have an "_base" with subfolders of "base" and "base2". I have added the function to both skin.css files in base and base2, and no difference. Any suggestions for this?

Thanks!

@MisterLas: What about in /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/webapps/zimbra/css/common.css?

That is correct, I just typed the url fast & omitted /_base/ apparently. I think skin.css there had the function already defined earlier in the file that you might be clashing with? skin.css | grep offline Any luck throwing that in common.css?

@webman:

No, that did not affect it.
