Environment


Novell GroupWise 7
Novell GroupWise WebAccess 7

Situation

In WebAccess, when proxying into a new user there is a button in the address book with no text.
The button will still work
This only happens in the SP1 release of WebAccess

Resolution

This should be fixed for GroupWise 7 SP2
In the meantime it is possible to manually fix the issue - there are 2 possible solutions:

The first is a fix in the properties files- it is more extensive if there are multiple languages installed, but less risky if something goes wrong. The second is a fix to the template- much simpler, but, if not done right, may affect functionality. The fix in SP2 will use the template approach.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: files to be modified are in the css template directory

Approach 1 - Modify properties file(s)
  1.  Open CssResources_en.properties file in an editor.
  2.  Locate the string "Login.Image.AltText.login"
  3.  Remove all the comment text in front of"Login.Image.AltText.login" so that the line reads"Login.Image.AltText.login=Login"
  4.  Save the file
  5.  For multilingual installations (otherwise, skip to 12): Open CssResources_xx.properties file in an editor, where xx represents a language code.
  6.  Locate the string "Login.Image.AltText.login".
  7.  Remove all the comment text in front of"Login.Image.AltText.login" so that the line reads"Login.Image.AltText.login=Login"
  8.  Locate the string "Login.Button.login" (should be 15 to 20 lines above Login.Image.AltText.login)
  9.  Copy the text from Login.Button.login (e.g. if German- de- then the text to copy would be "Anmelden") and use it to replace the text "Login" for Login.Image.AltText.login (e.g."Login.Image.AltText.login=Login" would become"Login.Image.AltText.login=Anmelden").
  10.  Save the file
  11.  Repeat steps 5-10 for each language properties file
  12.  Restart Tomcat


Approach 2 - Modify template file
  1.  Open the abaccum.htt template file in an editor
  2.  Locate the string "Login.Image.AltText.login" (occurs only once) and replace it with "Login.Button.login"
  3.  Save the file and restart Tomcat
