Personalizing the notebook

I am running two notebook servers in the same machine and i want to personalize them (mainly the login screen, and maybe also some translation). I have seen that putting a notebook.css in the $HOME/.sage/ directory i can customize the colors. Also, editing the files in /devel/sagenb-main/sagenb/data/sage/html/ i can personalize the login screen and so on.

My question is: can i do it on a per-notebook basis? Is there some location in the $HOME/.sage/sage_notebook-sagenb/ directory where i can copy the modified files in order to affect that specific notebook?.

I know that, in the worst case, i would do it by copying the whole sage instalation and making the different changes in the two directories, but i would prefear to find a solution that doesn't imply duplicating the instalation.

I finally did it using javascript. It's not an elegant solution, but it works.

Can you post your "answer", or a bit more details about how you did it, as an actual answer? Also, can you open a trac ticket to add this feature? I think it would be great if we could customize each notebook by putting something in the sage_notebook.sagenb directory.

If you are using the flask notebook you can use the SAGENB_TEMPLATE_PATH environment variable to specify the directory to search for the html templates and stylesheets.

Here is the changeset.

Thanks. Is the flask notebook ready for real use already? When is it expected to substitute the traditional one? And finally: where does the SAGENB_TEMPLATE_PATH must be set?

mmarco ( 13 years ago )

Before starting Sage, you should set SAGENB_TEMPLATE_PATH to a directory which contains a customized version of the contents of the sagenb/data/sage dir from the notebook repository.

Where, in a recent sage release, is SAGENB_TEMPLATE_PATH set ? How is it set to sagenb/data/sage ?

Pedro, the patch with SAGENB_TEMPLATE_PATH was only merged in the flask notebook AFAIK. There is still ongoing work to include this in Sage-5.0.

What i did was basically include this:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (location.href=='url1')
  {
   document.write('content1');
  }

if (location.href=='url2')
  {
   document.write('content2');
  }
</script>

in /devel/sagenb-main/sagenb/data/sage/html/login.html, where url1 and url2 are the complete urls of each notebook, and content1 and content2 the contents you want the paage to show in each case.
