Documentation for FishEye 3.0.x. Documentation for other versions is available too.

This feature is not fully functional in FishEye 2.2 due to a bug. To read more information about this, please see the issue in our public issue tracker.

To customise the welcome message, access the administration page, and click 'Customize Welcome & Support Message' under 'Global Settings' on the left navigation bar.

The 'Customize Welcome & Support Message' page opens.

On this page, you can provide your own custom text for the FishEye welcome message that is displayed to users when they first log in. You can also provide custom Support text, providing the contact details of your own support organisation, which also appears on the opening page.

You can enter text into the boxes provided for either message and click the small 'Save Welcome Message' or 'Save Support Message' button to save it, or enter text for both messages and click 'Save All'. The changes are made immediately.

Restoring the default messages

To revert to the default Welcome or Support messages, simply delete the text shown in the text box and click the respective 'Save' button.

Manually editing the opening screen

You can also directly edit the XML file that contains the welcome and support messages. This file is called config.xml, located in your /FISHEYE_HOME/ folder.

To do this, simply add the following XML tags to config.xml:

<content>
  <front-page-message>Example welcome message here</front-page-message>
  <support-message>Example support message here</support-message>
</content>

Using HTML

The content in the welcome screen can be arranged using tables, images or HTML tags such as the following:
