snarl.admin file to hide/disable icon #48

Is this still accurate? I am trying to disable the icon/menu from being accessed but not having any success.

Any help appreciated, Thanks!

Which version of Snarl are you using?

whizzling commented 6 years ago

Latest version r5.0-beta-5

fullphat commented 6 years ago

Ah, no, not yet. I can add it pretty quickly though. I’m planning to overhaul it all a bit too - nothing drastic though. Are you just interested in hiding the app icon for now?

fullphat commented 6 years ago

Here’s the proposed approach for R5.0. Some name changes and we use JSON now. Most significant change is moving the global admin file to a web server rather than CIFS:

❏ Snarl sysadmin ❏ Look for local “sysadmin.redirect” ❏ If exists, read “url” and grab “sysadmin.json” from it ❏ Otherwise look for local “sysadmin.json” ❏ Settings: “hide_icon” bool

whizzling commented 6 years ago

Yes, looking to hide the icon to prevent the user from editing or turning off the notifications. I am attempting to use the snarl as an alert system for our employees.

Excellent! Keep me posted on progress please. I’ll get the sysadmin stuff added and let you know when it’s released.

Hi @whizzling - Beta 6 is now available (see post here) and adds the ability to control displaying the tray icon, amongst other things. I haven't had change to update the docs just yet so drop me a note here if you'd like some help. 👍

Hi!. I'm also very interested in this feature (sysadmin.json). I've tried it and it works great!!. Another thing I'm also interested is in sysconfig.ssl with "target" so that I can centralize the settings for all snarls. Is it possible to set this en sysadmin.json or planned for the near future??

Thanks and regards.

Fernando.

Hi Fernando!

Yes, you can do this now with R5.0 Beta 6. 😀

Create a text file called redirect.rc in the same folder as snarl.exe and paste this into it:

[targets]
url={path}

Where {path} is the URL to your centralised settings file (e.g. http://myserver/snarl/finance_team/admin.json)

Check out the sysadmin guide here for more details: http://fullphat.github.io/snarl/sysadmin-guide

Many thanks!!, however it's no exactly what I need.

What I need is to place all of configuration files for snarl: %APPDATA%\full phat\snarl 5.0\etc in a centralized server and say to snarl where to look for them.

Regards, Fernando.

Ok, I've added the ability to specify the json configuration file using a path instead. Check out Beta 7! #51
