Allow admin to override catalog-banner and login-banner

[bodom0015]

As the admin of a Workbench installation, It would be nice if there was a way to override the catalog-banner and/or login-banner at runtime. The user could provide a URL for the image in question (stretch goal: also base64 encoded data url?)

Those image URLs would be used to display one or both banners in the webui

1:34 PM Can I make a suggestion for a new feature? I would like to make https://github.com/nds-org/workbench-webui/blob/develop/public/catalog-banner.jpg and https://github.com/nds-org/workbench-webui/blob/develop/public/login-banner.jpg a variable in the Helm under config.frontend.customization like the other links. I don't need to be able to embed the images in the docker container, I can host them on another webserver. I looked at seeing if I could do it, but I don't know typescript and I didn't see any easy way to make variables like that.

1:50 PM That definitely sounds like a cool idea, if we can make it work! It should be easy enough to allow the user to override the existing images... But the custom CSS there might make that a bit more tricky :thinking_face: I think those images have some special styling on them (to adjust the viewport and display them differently in "dark mode") New

2:27 PM If i wanted to change the two images now, would I just clone the repo, replace the images with new images, build the new container, and update the helm config to use the new container?

Sara Lambert

2:31 PM That sounds correct, yes :+1: the actual image files are located in the "public" folder The LoginBanner component and styling can be found in src/views/landing/ And the catalog-banner for the AllApps view can be found in src/views/all-apps/SearchCatalogHeader.tsx (this one was poorly named, sorry!)
