Ox Guard Customization

Overview

Guard uses several templates for emails and the Guest reader. These templates are fully customizable, and can be customized at the global level, but also at the context/user level. Changing images, colors, and layout is easy. Changing the wording is also possible, though the translation tables will then need to be updated.

Template ID

Guard uses a template ID for choosing the templates to use. The template ID can be chosen for a user or context using the configuration cascade.

com.openexchange.guard.templateID=x

For any template below, a customized template can be created with the name x-templatename where x is the integer value of the template ID for the user. For example, if you wanted a custom password template based on the template "passwordtempl.html" for a context of users, you could create a template "2-passwordtempl.html" and assign the value com.openexchange.guard.templateID=2 to the context. Then, Guard will use any templates that start with "2-" for the context.

NOTE: If no template ID is specified, or if a file specified by the template ID is not found, then the default template is used. The default is the templates with no number prefix, i.e. "passwordtempl.html"

Templates

Emails

  • guesttempl.html - Email template used when sending to a guest user (not an OX account)
  • passwordtempl.html - Template used to send a new password to a guest user. As of 2.8, only used if newGuestsRequirePassword=true is configured
  • oxpasswordtempl.html - Email template used when sending a new password to an OX user. No longer used after 2.6
  • resettempl.html - Template used when sending a password reset
  • guestresettempl.html - Template used when resetting guest account and password recovery is disabled

Guest Reader (not used as of 2.10)

  • reader.html - The main guest reader template. THIS IS NOT CUSTOMIZABLE WITH TEMPLATE ID. GLOBAL CHANGES ONLY. We recommend not changing this file and using the header, footer, and style sheets for branding.
  • header.html - Top header bar of the Guest reader
  • footer.html - Footer of the Guest reader
  • style.css - Style sheet for the Guest reader

Email Template GetText

In the HTML templates, wording is surrounded by a call to gettext, which will get the translation for the user. It is used in a HTML call <$gettext("text here")> Example:

<$gettext("You have received this email because $from has sent you a secure email message with OX Guard. You will receive a link to the secure message in a separate email.")>

Variables

Some email templates have space for variables depending on their function. The variable name will begin with $ such as the above example $from.

Guest Reader Translations

The Guest reader webpage uses i18next for translations. If changing the header and footer such that you need translation, use a call such as

<h2 data-i18n="PIN Required:">PIN Required:</h2>

The "data-i18n" property results in the inner HTML wording being replaced with the translation (if available for the specified language)

Guest Translations as of Version 2.4.2-rev8

Custom Guest reader translations can be managed by creating a file custom-Lang.json located in the /var/www/html/reader/l10n (on Debian 8) This custom file should contain only the translations you want to replace in the default translation-Lang.json files.

For example, if you wanted to change the French translation of "Welcome" from "Bienvenue" to "Bonjour", you would create a file custom-FR_fr.json with the contents

{
    "Welcome" : "Bonjour"
}

The reader will load the file translations-FR_fr.json first, then it will load custom and overwrite any values found.

Guard Product Name Customization (2.4 or 2.2.1-8+)

Overview

The Guard product name can be configured by general setting for smaller deployments, by configuration cascade, or by URL

Product name by configuration

The configuration

com.openexchange.guard.productName

can be defined in the guard-core.properties (2.4) or in the guard.properties file (2.2.1-8). This product name will be passed to the UI.

This value can also be configured at the configuration cascade level

Product name by URL

By editing the file yml located in /opt/open-xchange/etc/as-config.yml the property

guard.productName

can be defined based on the browser URL/IP used to address the OX backend. This product name will the be passed to the UI to be displayed by the user.
