Hi all,

 

I’d like to add a custom picture in this lobbyelement:

 

The image is saved on the MV-Server, just like our logos for the company.
Do you have any idea, why this isn’t working?

 

Thanks in advance,

Lena

Hello

You can either use a custom Image URL where the URL is accessible via the server machine. If not, try incorporating your company images into the ifsweb-main.war as the local images supported by lobbies are packed into it.

Build_home location: \server\apps\main\ifsweb-main.war\images\lobby\element\

On instance: \wls_domain\DEV10\servers\MainServer1\stage

Hi @Manulak 

what to do if we are in cloud?

And on which server do you upload the pictures?

Hi @HSELEWU 

 

The image must be accessible to everyone. It is related to permissions. Give read permission to the folder where you stored images to everyone.

Hi Manulak, 
how can I add my picture to the ifsweb-main.war file on the instance?

Thanks!

Hello @HSELEWU 

Honestly I’ve not done it before, and that’s why I asked you to “try”, at your risk. Maybe you can follow the below steps on your DEV (or similar none-critical installation). Please keep necessary backups in case if you have to reset.

  1. Extract the ifsweb-main.war
  2. Add the required images
  3. Archive it again to ifsweb-main.war
  4. Copy it to \wls_domain\<instance>\servers\MainServer1\stage\ifsweb-main’s latest created folder
  5. Log into the IFS Middleware Server Admin Console > Deployments, then try to stop and redeploy ifsweb-main web archive
  6. If it doesn’t help, restart the MWS (worst case, a reconfiguration).

Hope this helps,

This issue was solved with our partner Flexicode.

We stored the image on an open sharepoint an no more on the MW. Then it worked.

 

Regards,

Lena
