FTP host during login

[rawkin]

We're running Sitebuilder 1.1.1 and all of our users utilise a single FTP host.

Is there any way I can hard code the default FTP hostname into the user login screen?

thanks.

After looking through various files in sitebuilder/styles/ & sitebuilder/localize I found I could achieve what I was after by;

1. Editing sitebuilder/styles/common.xsl and changing the ftphost field to be hidden and giving a fixed value.

2. Editing sitebuilder/localize/en_US/localize.php and modifying the bottom paragraph to reflect the field changes ('login_help_tooltip' is the variable name).

Nice job. That works great. Were you able to remove the @ after the login name?

 

[rawkin]

Yep, the line immediately before the ftp_host input that you commented out is;

</input> <xsl:value-of select="$ftphost/@TITLE"/> 

Change that line to;

</input><!--  <xsl:value-of select="$ftphost/@TITLE"/>  -->

Can you type the code you changed for us noobies.

I assume it is this:
value="{$ftphost/@VALUE}"

to something like
value="IPaddress?"

Thanks great Tip too.

Yep, this is the correct line.

> to something like

Yep.

Then you may also want to remove this field from showing by changing the type from 'text' to 'hidden'.

If you hide the FTP Host field, you'll also want to get rid of the '@' character from showing by changing the line directly above the FTP Host input field from;

</input> <xsl:value-of select="$ftphost/@TITLE"/> 

to;

</input><!--  <xsl:value-of select="$ftphost/@TITLE"/>  -->

Do you got any tricks on the publish page to hide it here also?
