It is exactly the assignment sections we are going to change.Īs you can imagine, the topText variable stores the HTML code that will be inserted in the login page before the login controls while the bottomText variable stores the HTML code that will be inserted after the login controls. You don’t have to be a PHP programmer to spot these, as the file itself contains very few lines: one line that declares these 2 variables as global variables and then 2 more sections/lines which assign values to these variables. Simply open it in a text editor, and you will find the following 2 variables: topText and bottomText. If you go to the Login Notes directory, you will notice that there is a config.php file and a few other files, but we’re only going to use this particular file to customize the login page. Don’t panic - these are just the default HTML tags that the plugin creator has put in! We’re going to change these to make the login page look prettier. You might think straight-away that even so the login page still doesn’t look that much more appealing.
Next, if you visit your SquirrelMail login page, you will notice a simple “ Welcome” note at the top of the login page and a Tux image at the bottom of the page. So, you’ve installed the plugin, and enabled it in your SquirrelMail configuration (use squirrelmail-configure on Debian systems).
Also, the /usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/login_notes becomes the Login Notes directory.
(You might also want to take a note of the images directory if you want to use images to customize your SquirrelMail login page - in my case, they rely under /usr/share/squirrelmail/images/, but you might use a different path.) In order to avoid using the complete paths throughout this article, I will be referring to /usr/share/squirrelmail/images as the images directory and to /usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins as the plugins directory. I am using a Debian Linux distribution, so my SquirrelMail plugins are installed under /usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/ and the Login Notes plugin gets installed therefore under /usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/login_notes - your configuration might be different but the only path we are really interested in is the plugin directory.

(Some of you might see already where this is going I guess, but for the others, I will go into details about how to use this.) Follow the plugin installation instructions (provided in the tar gzipped file) and enable the plugin.įor obvious reasons, I will use throughout this article the paths that I have used to configure and install SquirrelMail on my machine, but the same notes should apply for any other configurations as long as you replace the paths with the ones you have used in your configuration. This plugin allows you to add your HTML code at the top and bottom of the login page.

It is one of these plugins that captured my attention, as I figured out straight away it will allow me to customize the login page! And here’s how:įirst of all download the Login Notes plugin. Some of these plugins as you know allows certain visual customizations to SquirrelMail to make it look more pleasant to the eye. Posted October 28th, 2011 by Liv & filed under Blogroll, Tech.įor those of you who are using SquirrelMail, you might have noticed that it looks a bit well, let’s just say amateurish 🙂 That doesn’t go to say it isn’t a good package! (I personally love it and I think it does a pretty good job - hence my additions to this software.) However, as every open-source package in its early stages, there is still a lot more to be done to get it to a stage where it works beautifully and looks just as good! If you have been using it for a while chances are you have already installed some of the plugins and configured them to your needs.
