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.

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;
}
