The noodle.properties and server.xml text files are in the conf directory.

If there are problems with the conf the logs will tell you about them.

Changes to the conf file will take effect the next time Noodle starts.

Full-text search is extensible to any format, so long as there is a CLI tool to convert it to text.

Configuration of ORACLE and MSSQL built-in indexers differ and can be used in combination with this method.

To index the contents of popular formats like office documents on linux add the following to your .conf:

#tested
#apt/yum install -y poppler-utils pstotext antiword html2text unrtf python-excelerator libwpd-tools unzip catdoc
Indexer.IndexContent = ALL
Indexer.toTxt.Enabled = true
Indexer.toTxt.pdf = "pdftotext -q -eol unix -enc UTF-8 $IN $OUT"
Indexer.toTxt.doc = "antiword $IN > $OUT"
Indexer.toTxt.html = "html2text -nobs -o $OUT $IN"
Indexer.toTxt.xls = "xls2csv $IN > $OUT"
Indexer.toTxt.mp3 = "id3info $IN | grep '===' | grep -v 'PRIV' | grep -v 'image\/' | perl -p -e 's/^.+(\)|\])\:/ /g' > $OUT"
Indexer.toTxt.rtf = "unrtf --nopict --text $IN 2>/dev/null | grep -v '^### ' > $OUT"
Indexer.toTxt.docx = "unzip -p $IN word/document.xml | perl -p -e 's/<.+?>/ /g' > $OUT"
Indexer.toTxt.pptx = "unzip -p $IN ppt/slides/*.xml | perl -p -e 's/<.+?>/ /g' > $OUT"
Indexer.toTxt.xlsx = "unzip -p $IN xl/sharedStrings.xml | perl -p -e 's/<.+?>/ /g' > $OUT"
Indexer.toTxt.odt = "unzip -p $IN content.xml | perl -p -e 's/<.+?>/ /g' > $OUT"
Indexer.toTxt.ods = "unzip -p $IN content.xml | perl -p -e 's/<.+?>/ /g' > $OUT"
Indexer.toTxt.odp = "unzip -p $IN content.xml | perl -p -e 's/<.+?>/ /g' > $OUT"

# TensorFlow image search
#Indexer.toTxt.jpg = "python classify.py --image $IN | grep -P '^1\. ' > $OUT"

## others
#Indexer.toTxt.wpd = "wpd2text $IN > $OUT"
#Indexer.toTxt.jpg = "exiftool $IN > $OUT #for camera type or gps location"
#Indexer.toTxt.xls = "py_xlstoTxt $IN > $OUT # supports sheets but adds sheet = ----"
#Indexer.toTxt.docx = "unzip -p $IN word/document.xml | sed -e 's/<[^>]\{1,\}>/ /g' > $OUT"

Windows examples

• Xpdf tools
• Antiword
• strawberryperl

Indexer.IndexContent = ALL
Indexer.Interval = 30
Indexer.toTxt.Enabled = true
Indexer.toTxt.pdf = "\"C:/Program Files/xpdf/pdftotext.exe\" $IN $OUT"
Indexer.toTxt.doc = "C:\antiword\antiword.exe $IN > $OUT"

You can populate your conf file with command line method of converting the file types of your choice to text.

Be sure "System Tools > Settings > General > Enable Full Text Search" is set to "Yes".

Make sure you adhere to formatting restrictions.

1. Add or un-comment the following line in the noodle.properties file:

ScriptFile = “noodleScript.js”

2. Add custom JavaScript to noodleScript.js

3. Restart Noodle.

To test put this in the noodleScript.js:

alert("It works");

Save it and re-login to Noodle.

Other ways to insert custom JavaScript here.

You may want to wait for top.noodle like this.

You need custom scripts enabled and a page re-writer setup.

if (url.indexOf("datamanager/ReportView.po")>-1){
    doc.getElementById("totalsTable").style.display="none";
}

To insert JavaScript or HTML into the login page of Noodle - often used for a Message of the Day (MOTD) or legal waiver:

1. Open noodle.properties
2. Add or uncomment MessageFile, e.g.
   • Windows: MessageFile = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Noodle\\MOTD.html"
   • Linux : MessageFile = "/opt/Noodle/MOTD.html"
3. Make the file
4. Restart Noodle
5. Test with:
   • MOTD works<script>alert('MOTD works');</script>
