Override js files for view - like login

[fodinabor]

Hey guys..
I tried for quite some time now but could not find how to override something like the /client/src/views/login.js
I have to override that, as I want to show a modal before logging in (something like 2F Auth).

Currently I have copied (and modified) it to client/custom/src/views/login.js
I also tried changing the tpl in here: client/custom/res/templates/login.tpl

I have read, that one usually creates a clientDef in /custom/Espo/Custom/Resources.. but there's no clientDef for login afaik..

only other reference to views/login seems to be in /client/src/controllers/base.js but changing that to "custom:views/login" does not seem to help either..

Do you have any clue how to override this, without breaking updatability?

Thanks!
Joachim

Hello
"in /client/src/controllers/base.js but changing that to "custom:views/login" "
you do everything right. Seems it is cached. Clear local cache

[fodinabor]

And.. Is there any way that avoids changing any system files that might be overritten by an update?

Sorry, but no

Hey,
thanks so far!

I feel a bit dumb.. I'm usually no webdev - so I guess it's okay to ask that

I disabled caching by adding "'useCache' => false," to config.php - so caching should not be an issue..
But anyways only the espo.min.js is being fetched from the browser.. so I have to rebuild that, right?
To achieve that: do I have to run the instructions noted as build instructions? https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/b...d#how-to-build
Or should it be sufficient to run rebuild in the administration backend?

I'd like to rebuild that espo.min.js on the server, so it would be awesome if I don't have to have that locally as well...
Is there any documentation of this process?

Thanks for your help again!
Greetings

Edit: I guess I found out what to do - I had to clone the repo, change the base.js accordingly run npm install and grunt to rebuild the espo.min.js - I just copied that on the server - and now I can work with the login.js, that's on the server as it is dynamically fetched, by espo.min.js (so you won't find it in the inspector of your browser as a source).
Thanks again
