Hi FOP2-Community,

i am searching the web and the FOP2 forum and source files now for a longer time and it seems i'm too dumb to find what i need.

I want to adapt/change the existing items in the presence dropdown box of FOP2 (2.26 White label lic.). Reason: First not all are localized to german (it's a mix of english and german) and second our staff wants me to remove (or replace) existing labels we do not need with some we need. I get the impression they are hardcoded somewhere (maybe in the SWF?) or they are stored in the sqlite database?

So my question is:

• Where can i customize existing items from the dropdrown presence control in the FOP2 browser page and what do i need to change exactly.
• Do i need to change the english AND the german translation or just the german translation?
• Can i only replace existing items (meaning i am constrained to the amount of items that are already there) or can i add more (if we need another when all existing are already adapted) and remove some (if we need fewer options to not overwhelme the user with unneccesary things). If i can add and/or remove, what are all the places and things i need to change?

Thank you in advance for your help, patience and an early reply.

Hi Nicholas,

thank you very much for your answer.

Hmmm, i'm a retard. I already found the presence.js file and noticed the presence entries. My mistake was, that i thought its only the color settings there. I haven't thought about you are using the array index keys as the text labels too. I thought there is another place where you reference this array keys with the colors to add somewhere else defined lables. :)

Now i understood that the array keys are the text labels as well. I changed them and all works fine now.

Thank you again for your effort.

Hi Nicolas,

i don't think you can't get rid of the "edit in 2 places" concept without losing the flexibility of having an arbitrary amount of entries. You have to define the english defaults array entries and then the translation in the lang.js file. So i agree with you, not perfect, but unavoidable IMO.

I prefer to have the flexibility though. So don't change anything unless you find the ultimate solution. :)

Thanks again for you nice contact and responsiveness.

Arrrgh! Typo-Alarm! :) And no edit option i can see. :(

i don't think you can't get rid of the "edit in 2 places" concept ..

Sorry to all for the noise!

I've tried adding some entries to presence.js:

presence['Washroom'] = '#2da4ff';
presence['Chat'] = '#ddf74d';
presence['Notes'] = '#ff8de0';

and to lang_en.js:

lang['Washroom'] = 'Washroom';
lang['Chat'] = 'Chat';
lang['Notes'] = 'Notes';

Yet these entries aren't appearing in the dropdown. If I edit an existing entry, that change is reflected. Any ideas? I've tried restarting fop, but doesn't have any effect.

Also, any guidance on the best way to remove the "Other" option?
