LCaynar · 8 January 2019 04:51

Dear Madam/Sir,

Could you help to provide instruction on how to customize the front page of DHIS2 showed below:

jomutsani · 8 January 2019 07:23

Kindly check out:

How to change the appearance of DHIS2 login screen

The appearance can be changed by going to Apps > Settings > Appearance. From here you can set an application title, notification, left-side footer, right-side footer and flag to appear on the login page.

For a higher level of customization, @Lars can provide better technical support when it comes to styling it with your own CSS.

Best,
James.

Dear @jomutsani,

Thanks you so much for your always quick response.

Dear @Lars could you help to provide support with my own CSS?

jomutsani · 8 January 2019 07:56

Welcome, @LCaynar!

Please check out the developer’s documentation on Developer’s guide - 1.74 UI customization as we await @Lars.

Best,
James.

Dear @jomutsani,

Thanks for your references; I have done it with UI customization.’

In addition, Could I customize form to take off

@LCaynar do you mind explaining how you changed the image in the top left corner? I am having trouble doing so. Thanks!

LCaynar · 16 January 2019 13:34

Dear @berhard,

Sorry, I have not resolved this yet. Just solved some part on Appearance as Mr @jomutsani references.

Best Regards,

jomutsani · 16 January 2019 14:15

Hi @LCaynar and @berhard,

I was informed it is accessible from the developer’s side and has something to do with changing a few parameters on the style.css.

If you need an even higher level of customization, DHIS 2 lets you upload your own CSS files through the Web API. You can inspect the HTML structure and classes of the login page, create your own stylesheet (CSS file) and upload the file through the Web API. - @Lars from Webmasters Stack exchange

Maybe @Stian can advise more on this.

Best,
James.

LCaynar · 16 January 2019 15:05

Dear @jomutsani,

Thanks. I have done based on your references.

Best Regards,

jomutsani · 16 January 2019 15:13

Thank you for your regular feedback @LCaynar!
How is it now? Have you managed to customize the front page based on how you wanted it to appear?

James.

LCaynar · 16 January 2019 15:39

Dear @jomutsani,

Thanks I have done more on front page. In addition, I need one point which create an account button at the right top.

Best Regards,

berhard · 16 January 2019 18:29

Thank you, @jomutsani

Hi @berhard,

This is also in Settings - Apperance, under “Flag”. This will update the image in the top left corner. We have many country and organization flags but let us know if yours is missing on Jira and we will usually add them.

Best regards,
Karoline

Am failing to change the Application title as it keeps defaulting back to DHIS 2. The consoles show the below error, but am not sure how to resolve this:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()
:8443/api/38/systemSettings/applicationTitle?value=New Application Name&locale=en:1          Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 409 ()
Api.js:409 API request failed with status 409

(anonymous) @ Api.js:409
settingsActions.js:19 Failed to save localized setting: Object
(anonymous) @ settingsActions.js:19

I have tried downloading the war file, but still getting the same error. DHIS2 version 2.38.0.

Gassim · 24 May 2022 15:38

Thank you for your post @WaluQ! I tried to replicate this on https://play.dhis2.org/2.38.0/dhis-web-settings/index.html#/appearance but I was able to change the application title. It’s not a bug but there’s something in the configuration that’s stopping this change.

Would you please share the Catalina.out log file (without the sensitive info) from after you try to make this change?

Thank you!

WaluQ · 24 May 2022 17:47

This is the log from Catalina.todaysdate.log. Not sure if that’s the one you meant?

I think @WaluQ that these issues could happen when there are caching issues. It might help to try to restart your instance and try again after restarting.

Thanks!

WaluQ · 25 May 2022 11:21

@Gassim I just restarted the server but still getting the same behaviour.

phil · 30 May 2022 10:48

Hi @WaluQ

Could you please describe exactly the steps you are following to change the Title, and what behaviour you are seeing? (screenshots might also help).

Thanks,
Phil

WaluQ · 31 May 2022 07:01

The first image shows what I am doing to change the Application Title and what I change it to. The Introduction changes just fine but the Application Title reverts back to DHIS 2. as in the second image. The third image is the console errors.
