[Building Sakai] deleting of motd from the gateway page

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi,

You can remove the sakai.motd tool from the page of a site via Admin  
Workspace > Sites > (find site) > scroll to Pages > (find page you  
want to edit) > Tools > choose tool > Remove Tool > Save.

For instance to remove the Messages tool from the Gateway:
Sites > !gateway > Pages > From the sakai.motd toolId, I can see it's  
on the Welcome page, so click that > Tools > sakai.motd > Remove Tool  
 > Save.

Same process for removing entire pages. A page is just a holder for  
one or more tools. Pages are the items on the left nav.

To skin Sakai, the main CSS you want to adjust is portal.css found at  
SAKAI-SRC/reference/library/src/webapp/skin/<skinname>/portal.css

You might want to take a copy of the 'default' skin and call it  
something else, adjust the sakai.property 'skin.default=xxx' to be the  
name of the folder you created, then edit that one.


cheers,
Steve
