Question about Exodus Ability to Enable-Disable Settings

Hi all,

I am using Exodus since a few weeks and installed it with a
Netmeeting
plug in.

Does anybody know how that plugin works? Features or user
guide?

Many thanks

Hans-peter

Exodus allows several levels of preference control. 

A default set of preferences are included as a resource in
the Exodus
executable. The default.xml file in the exodus_home/exodus
is built into
the xml.res resource file and linked in to Exodus.exe. 

A second level of control is the branding.xml file. This
file exists to
allow client admins to override default preference values
and change
their "visibility" within the client.

For instance here is the preference for enabling auto-away:

<auto_away value="1"
control="chkAutoAway"/>

Value is Boolean, 1 -> true, 0 -> false. The
control="chkAutoAway" maps
this preference to a widget named chkAutoAway in the
preference dialog.
If I wanted to disable auto-away for all users and not let
them change
the value (lock down the preference) I would add the
following to my
branding.xml file:

<auto_away value="0"
control="chkAutoAway" state="inv"/>

The state attribute may be "inv" (pref will not
show up in pref dialog)
or readonly (pref's value will be displayed but users will
not be able
to change it).

That's a brief overview. More information on
"branding" Exodus can be
found at http://e
xodus.jabberstudio.org/branding.html

Hope that helps a little,

Joe Fuhrman

Subject: [Exodus] Question about Exodus Ability to
Enable-Disable
Settings

I have a question about settings for this product.  It is
mandatory that
everyone in our environment have their chat's saved.  I know
this
product
does this as I have it running on my home computer.  I also
need to lock
down the settings so that the users can not fiddle with them
and change
things.  We are in a very controlled environment in that
sense.  We also
can
not have them going outside our internal network.  If they
can, then
that
would stop us from using this.  (Not a good thing).

Is there anyway that I can put in the settings for the folks
and then
lock
down the settings so they can not be changed?

Thanks for any help anyone can give me on answers to this.
