Clicking the Xerox DocuShare Logo access the Home Page Does Not Work

Issue:

If you set the for the DocuShare web UI to root (/) instead of /docushare (the default setting) and then click on the Xerox DocuShare logo in the web UI the link will not work.  This occurs because the link path is hardcoded in a file and has the default path of /docushare for the root of the web site.

Replication Steps:

1.     Run dssetup to change the Docushare Tomcat to root (/) for the website

2.     Log in to DocuShare as admin

3.     Click on Admin Home | Account Management | Domains

4.     Click the Xerox DocuShare Logo displayed on the banner

5.     A 404 - /docushare/dsweb/home error will be displayed

Solution:

Note:  You must  be Windows Administrator to perform this solution.

Note:  This applies to DocuShare 6.x.  This issue has been fixed in DocuShare 6.5.2

1.     Open Windows Explorer

2.     Browse to the Xerox/Docushare/tomcat/webapps/root/jsp/common directory

3.     Find the adminbanner.jsp and make a copy of the file and paste the copy into the same directory and rename it adminbanner.jsp.orig

4.     Open the adminbanner.jsp file in a text editor such as Notepad

5.     Search for the line that contains <div id= “header”>

6.     Remove the /docushare from the following line <h1><a href=”/docushare/dsweb/Home” title=”Home” target=”_parent”>Docushare CPX </a></h1>  

Example:

<h1><a href=”/dsweb/Home” title=”Home” target=”_parent”>Docushare CPX </a></h1>

7.     Save the changes

8.     Try clicking on the Xerox DocuShare logo again in the web UI of DocuShare

Note:  Changes should take effect immediately; however, if you are still receiving an error you may need to refresh the web page, clear the cache settings for the browser used, and/or restart DocuShare.
