Adding META tags

UnionSystems · Post by **UnionSystems** » Thu Feb 09, 2017 6:03 am

I'd like to hide the safari browser chrome on IOS for my mobile phone version screens. Normally I do this by adding the appropriate META tags (eg <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" /> <meta name="apple-touch-fullscreen" content="yes" />).

I'm using the generic Boostrap theme. Is there a file I can edit to insert these META tags or is there another method I should use to hide the browser chrome?

Add your META tag to startup.html

From memory I think you'll find startup.html in ../awareim/tomcat/web apps/awareim

This will open your app in a chromeless browser but only after you have saved and launched your app from the home screen. In my experience with my app opening in a chromeless window on iOS it seems to take longer than opening in Safari. I don't know why. I'd be interested to know if you or anyone else experiences the same??

Cheers

Thanks Gabbitas. That works.

On Linux that file is Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/startup.html

In a separate topic aware_support https://www.awareim.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9628 also advises using startup.html to force references to separate JS files into a specific order. Based on aware_support advice we have successfully used startup.html to both add meta tags to an App and order JS files into a required sequence.

But what if you are running multiple Apps on the same AwareIM server? Is there a way to deliver different startup.html files to different Apps (aka AwareIM domains) so that different Apps can have different <head></head>? Perhaps some kind of Tomcat conditional HTML?
