25.6 Displaying the User’s Profile Picture in E-Mail Notifications

By default, a user’s profile picture (avatar) is no longer included in e-mail notifications sent from Vibe. This is because Novell GroupWise does not always display the profile picture correctly.

To configure Vibe to always include the profile picture in e-mail notifications:

  1. Change to the following directory:

    Linux:

    		 
    /opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat/
                           webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config

    Windows:

    		 
    c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\apache-tomcat\
                           webapps\ssf\WEB-INF\classes\config

  2. Make a backup copy of the ssf-ext.properties file, which is located in the same directory as the ssf.properties file.

  3. Open the ssf.properties file in a text editor.

  4. Search for the following line:

    email.showAvatarInHeader=false

  5. Open the ssf-ext.properties file in a text editor.

  6. Copy the email.showAvatarInHeader=false line from the ssf.properties file to the bottom of the ssf-ext.properties file.

  7. Replace false with true so that the line now reads

    email.showAvatarInHeader=true

  8. Save and close the ssf-ext.properties file.

  9. Close the ssf.properties file without saving it.

  10. Stop and restart Vibe.
