Re: struggling to find where to change details

Hi,

I am assuming you are using the latest version 1.1.3 , correct?

Two places, I can't quite get to. The chatbox's initial "0:0:0: PirateBox:" message won't get changed. I've edited it in the chat .txt file in /conf/ and set the chat log to persist in piratebox.conf - so whatever is typed stays forever, and then edited the html file in content that contains the actual chat log to take away the PirateBox line, and it changes ... yet each time I reboot it is back! Where is it coming from?!

The /opt/piratebox/conf/chat_init.txt is the correct place to be changed. If you set it "RESET_CHAT" to yes, the reboot should put the content of "chat_init.txt" into /opt/piratebox/www/cgi-bin/data.pso
Then the shoutbox html file is regenerated based on data.pso. So you might want to remove the line in data.pso after changing RESET_CHAT to no.

Secondly, the domain - I can't figure out how to change it, I've found many instances in various conf files, and I switch them to my own place.lan and I've managed that my place.lan will redirect to 192.168.77.1 somehow, but it will automatically go straight back to piratebox.lan.

Check out /opt/piratebox/www/redirect.html and /opt/piratebox/www/index.html . The index.html should be a symlink to redirect.html, but for some reason it suddenly became a file for itself during deployment. (I removed redirect.html, changed everthing to index.html only on pending hotfix 1.1.4).

Beside this, there is a script for changing the hostname... but this is affected by the named above bug as well :-(

In the locales, you will only find text.
Remember to edit src/HEADER.TXT and src/README.txt to your purposes, these are the source files for the directory listing and are being copied over to each new folder during restart.

Hope that helps,
best regards
Matthias
