 |
|
Hello,
I would like to add a menu to my oo using tools/options and that is easily done.
But how to deploy this to all the users on my multiuser network installation ?
Is there a way to tell OO while it installs localy to copy also the modified menu configuration file ?
Thnaks

Have you seen the OOo/user/config/soffice.cfg/drawmenubar.xml file?
You could probably copy this file into every user's "user" directory.
You might try experimenting with creating a desired configuration, and then putting it into....
OOo/share/config/soffice.cfg/drawmenubar.xml
but I do not have personal knowledge whether this would actually work. The concept would be that the file from the "share" directory would take precedence over the exact same file in the "user" directory, just as happens with the files under "registry".

Hello Dany,
it does NOT work. I looked also in the options menu, but it is only possible to set one path for user configurations.

Darn. It was only a hunch.
Are you on Linux? On SuSE Linux, for instance, there is a directory, /etc/skel which is a "template" for what the entire home directory will look like for any newly created user account. You can configure various programs to taste, and then put their configuration files into /etc/skel so that all newly created users automatically have whatever is in /etc/skel at the moment the account is added.
For example, you could create a /etc/skel/public_html/index.html file, and every newly created user account would automatically have a public_html/index.html file in their home directory.
Similarly, you could create an /etc/skel/OpenOffice1.1.0 folder, that is copied from YOUR OpenOffice1.1.0 folder in your home directory, and ever new user would get your desired configuration settings, even before they ever run OOo. Furthermore, since every user would have an OpenOffice1.1.0 folder, they would probably NOT see the "workstation installation" business the first time they launch OOo.
