Customizing the 'About Box' in Valence 6

[melvig]

In the Valence 6 portal how do you override the default 'About Box' to point to your own?

In Valence 5, we successfully modified the 'About Box' by overriding the Portal.view.usersettings.UsersettingsController class and its onAbout function. However, it appears that this class no longer exists in Valence 6.

Additionally, in Valence 5, the Portal.Hook API documentation mentioned an aboutPage config that allowed for the overriding of the default 'About Page'. This configuration option seems to be absent in the latest version.

Could anyone provide insights or guidance on how to achieve a similar override in Valence 6? Any advice or pointers towards relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like we never really did make this very easy to customize given the fact that you were having to override a controller. The controller and method has changed for Valence 6 so you can try your same approach.

For Valence 6, you would want to override Portal.view.main.MainController and then override the same "onAbout" method.

Let us know if this works for you.
