Sametime Meeting Center Customization - Part 1

Category
As requested I am going to start a series of docs on how to customize the Sametime Meeting Center. So far it looks like many of the things that will be written about in this series will still apply to Sametime 7.5, so it won't be a total waste of time. Today we'll start with the irritating popup box that every sees that causes all sorts of problems if you have a popup blocker, you know the one, this one

The contents of the page come from a view, which is overridden by a form view template called "$$ViewTemplate for vwWebSplash". The text on the page is contained within three computed text formula, so if you want to change the text just change the computed text. For most people simply changing the images is a good start. on the page their are two pictures, which are:

mrcsplashwordmark.gif - 200 x 49 pixels

Lotus Web Conferencing (Sametime)

mrcsplashmosaic.jpg - 400 x 101 pixels



Both files can be found in the \domino\data\domino\html\sametime\images directory on the sametime server. So to change them get hold of someone that's good with paintshop in your organization and tweak away.

Obviously knowing that the HTML is stored in the "$$ViewTemplate for vwWebSplash" form, means that you can also just edit that HTML remove the graphics, change to other graphics of different sizes etc.
