If you have implemented quotas, here is a way to make your WebAccess users happy. By modifying the default templates, you can have WebAccess display how much of their quota is currently in use. The display will appear to the right of the Help/Options/Exit buttons.
Adding quota display to WebAccess:
File to edit - caption.htt
Location - \tomcat\33\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\com\novell\webaccess\templates\frames
( will vary if using tomcat4, linux, etc )
- In body section, approx line 44, add the following:
#quota { position: absolute; z-index: 5; top: 14px; left: 600px;
width: 240px; height: 24px; visibility: visible }
-
This adds a div class to use for display.
- After {!----- TimeZone Description -----}, approximately line
421, add the following:
{!----- Quota Display -----}
<div id="quota">
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
<!--
var diskspace = {VAR User.Disk.limit }
var inuse = {VAR GWAP.Disk.inUse }
var quota_p = inuse/diskspace
document.write( Math.round(quota_p*100) + '% of quota in use');
//-->
</SCRIPT> <a
href="javascript:window.location.reload(true)"
style="color:#c82727"><FONT size=-2 >Update</FONT></a>
</div>
-
The update link is necessary because the caption area of the workspace
does not get refreshed with each action.
- Save caption.htt then reload tomcat { java -exit; tomcat33 }

Using the current scripts, if the User Limit is greater than 2047 then a negative number is returned for the diskspace variable. This script builds on the others but does a different calculation to get the appropriate value for the negative value.
By the way, it works on both GW6 and 6.5.
{!----- Quota Display -----}
<div id="quota">
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
<!--
var diskspace = {VAR User.Disk.limit }
if (diskspace==0)
{
document.write('Mailbox quota: None Assigned');
}
else
{
var inuse = {VAR GWAP.Disk.inUse }
var quota_mb = Math.round(100*diskspace/1024/1024)/100
var inuse_mb = Math.round(100*inuse/1024/1024)/100
if (diskspace<0)
{
var quota_mb = 4096 + (Math.round(100*diskspace/1024/1024)/100)
}
else
{
var quota_mb = Math.round(100*diskspace/1024/1024)/100
}
var avail_mb = Math.round((quota_mb - inuse_mb)*100)/100
document.write('Mailbox quota: ' + quota_mb + 'MB ');
document.write('<a href=\"javascript:window.location.reload(true)\"');
document.write('style=\"color:#c82727\">Update Stats</FONT></a>');
document.write('<br>');
document.write('Used: ' + inuse_mb + 'MB');
document.write(' ');
document.write('Available: ' + avail_mb + 'MB ');
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</div>

Problem:
Problem started after modifying WebAccess template per this Cool Tip: How to add the Quota Display in WebAccess
Fix:
This problem is fixed with the 8-20-2004 build of GroupWise 6.5 SP3 WebAccess
Be aware that to use this quota display feature you will need to set disk space limits for the GroupWise users in Consoleone:

If the users disk quota is set to something greater than 2GB (maybe just greater than 1GB) the User.Disk.limit variable becomes a negative number that does not represent the mail quota set for the user. Also, the tip only showed a % of use. I have enhanced the script to show the quota, space in use, and space available. In addition, I made an exception if the User.Disk.limit produces a negative number.
The example below is the same as previously published, produces a more informative solution to the end users and accounts for the problem of high quotas.
{!----- Quota Display -----}
<div id="quota">
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
<!--
var diskspace = {VAR User.Disk.limit }
var inuse = {VAR GWAP.Disk.inUse }
var quota_mb = Math.round(100*diskspace/1024/1024)/100
var inuse_mb = Math.round(100*inuse/1024/1024)/100
var avail_mb = Math.round(100*(diskspace-inuse)/1024/1024)/100
if (diskspace>0)
{
document.write('Mailbox Quota: ' + quota_mb + 'MB ');
document.write('<a href=\"javascript:window.location.reload(true)\"');
document.write('style=\"color:#c82727\">Update Stats</FONT></a>');
document.write('<br>');
document.write('Used: ' + inuse_mb + 'MB');
document.write(' ');
document.write('Available: ' + avail_mb + 'MB ');
}
else
{
document.write('Mailbox Quota is Unknown! ');
document.write('<a href=\"javascript:window.location.reload(true)\"');
document.write('style=\"color:#c82727\">Update Stats</FONT></a>');
document.write('<br>');
document.write('Used: ' + inuse_mb + 'MB');
document.write(' ');
document.write('Available: Unknown! ');
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</div>

I modified the code so that the 'quota' and 'non-quota' accounts can be tweaked separately. See example below:
{!----- Quota Display -----}
<div id="quota">
{IF User.Disk.limit > 0}
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
<!--
var diskspace = {VAR User.Disk.limit }
var inuse = {VAR GWAP.Disk.inUse }
var quota_p = inuse/diskspace
document.write( Math.round(quota_p*100) + '% of quota in use - ');
document.write( 'Mailbox using ' + inuse + 'KB');
//-->
</SCRIPT> <a href="javascript:window.location.reload(true)"
style="color:#c82727"><FONT size=-2 >Update</FONT></a>
{ELSE}
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
<!--
var diskspace = {VAR User.Disk.limit }
var inuse = {VAR GWAP.Disk.inUse }
document.write( 'Mailbox using '+ inuse + 'KB');
//-->
</SCRIPT> <a href="javascript:window.location.reload(true)"
style="color:#c82727"><FONT size=-2 >Update</FONT></a>
{ENDIF}
</div>
