Does anyone know how to customize the mail8 template or forms so that I can hide the search bar? Thanks in advance!
Subject: Edit the Forms8 file
First of all, note that the search bar only appears if the user’s mail file is full-text indexed. So if you remove the index, the search bar will not appear.
Otherwise, you can do it like this:
You’ll want to Edit the Forms8.nsf file, found in \data\inotes. Copy the file to another location and edit it using Designer. When you’re finished:
- clear the server cache:
dbc f
-
Copy the Forms8 file back to the server
-
Restart the HTTP process:
tell http restart
In the Forms8 file, go to the Resources - Files section. The “skin” for the main page is called h_ListFolder. There are different versions for each browser. And also different versions for Full and Lite modes. Make sure to update all of them.
Full:
h_ShimmerSkin-h_ListFolder = IE
h_ShimmerSkin_Gecko-h_ListFolder = Firefox
h_ShimmerSkin_Safari-h_ListFolder = Safari
Lite:
l_ShimmerSkin-h_ListFolder = IE
l_ShimmerSkin_Gecko-h_ListFolder = Firefox
l_ShimmerSkin_Safari-h_ListFolder = Safari
The skin is just HTML. For Full mode, look for and remove the following component:
Then, for Lite mode, look for this component:
and add the “s-nodisplay” class:
class=“s-rightpanel s-nodisplay”
That should do it.
