Configuration file

The configuration file can be found in:

  • /etc/groupoffice/config.php
  • /etc/groupoffice/multi_instance/<DOMAINNAME>/config.php
  • The root of the Group-Office installation

Here’s a list of config options:

Global configuration

You can also create a file called:

/etc/groupoffice/globalconfig.inc.php

this file supports the same properties as the regular file but applies to all Group-Office instances on the server when running multiple instances.

You can also preconfigure module settings that are normallly set in the user interface. For example you can set the OnlyOffice server URL for all instances:

$config['business'] = [

    'onlyoffice' => [
        'documentServerUrl' => 'https://onlyoffice.example.com',
        'documentServerSecret' => 'mysecretkey'
    ]

];

Locking system settings

Configuration properties configurable in the GUI at System settings can be locked in the config.php or globalconfig.inc.php file:

$config['core'] => [
    'title' => 'Pinned title',
    'primaryColor' => '2E7D32',
    'passwordMinLength' => 6,
    'smtpEncryption => 'tls',
    'smtpHost => 'localhost',
    'smtpUsername => null,
    'smtpPassword => null,
    'smtpPort' => 587
];

Branding

If you’d like to brand Group-Office you can easily do this:

Edit the configuration or global configuration file and add:

$config['product_name'] = 'My Office'; //Will replace the word 'Group-Office' with 'My Office'
$config['custom_css_url'] = '/branding/style.css'; //Loads a custom CSS stylesheet.
$config['support_link'] = 'https://docs.example.com/'; //Changes the URL behind "Help" in the main menu. Can also be an e-mail address

In the branding folder create a style.css stylesheet with for example this content:

/**
 * Preferred primary theme colors
 */
:root {
    --c-primary: rgb(27, 100, 139);
    --c-header-bg: rgb(27, 100, 139);
    --c-primary-tp: rgba(27, 100, 139, .16);
    --c-secondary: brown;
    --c-accent: orange;
}

/**
 * Override logo
 */
.go-app-logo, .go-about-logo, .go-settings-logo, #go-logo {
    background-image: url('my-group-office.png');
    width: 240px;
    height: 40px;
}
