boot.php hidden menu prompt translation

[fred_chx]

Hi FOG community !

I am currently struggling to understand from where a particular line in my boot.php file is coming from. I am using the “Hide Menu” fonction from the “FOG PXE Boot Menu Configuration” page, and I would like the prompt (Press ${keyName} to access the menu) to be translated in my users language.
Here is my (default) boot.php :

http://srv-fog/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php

#!ipxe
set fog-ip 172.16.0.66
set fog-webroot fog
set boot-url http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}
cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch i386
iseq ${platform} efi && set key 0x1b || set key 0x1b
iseq ${platform} efi && set keyName ESC || set keyName Escape
prompt --key ${key} --timeout 5000 Booting... (Press ${keyName} to access the menu) && goto menuAccess || sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80
:menuAccess
login
params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param platform ${platform}
param username ${username}
param password ${password}
param menuaccess 1
param debug 1
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme
:bootme
chain -ar http://172.16.0.66/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params

Could you explain me which file or fonction creates the line of code below ?

prompt --key ${key} --timeout 5000 Booting... (Press ${keyName} to access the menu)

I am running FOG Version 1.4.4, SVN Revision: 6077 on an ubuntu 16.04 server.

Thank you,

Frederic

@fred_chx This line is being generated by bootmenu.class.php as all the other lines as well. See here: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/1.4.4/packages/web/lib/fog/bootmenu.class.php#L527 (line 527f)

@sebastian-roth Isn’t that iPXE menu line managed by these WebUI settings?

1. FOG Configuration->FOG System Settings->FOG Boot Settings->FOG_PXE_MENU_HIDDEN
2. FOG Configuration->FOG System Settings->FOG Boot Settings->FOG_PXE_HIDDENMENU_TIMEOUT

@george1421 Sure, the parameters are coming from those settings you just mentioned. I am not to sure what exactly the OP was asking but to me it sounded like he/she wanted to know which part of the code would generate this line. Maybe I got this wrong.

Thank you so much, I made the changes I needed in the bootmenu.class.php file (line 528) and now the prompt is in french !

  $Send['chainhide'] = array(
                'cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch i386',
                "iseq \${platform} efi && set key 0x1b || set key $KSKey",
                "iseq \${platform} efi && set keyName ESC || "
                . "set keyName $KSName",
                "prompt --key \${key} --timeout $this->_timeout "
                . "Demarrage en cours... (Presser la touche \${keyName} pour acceder au menu) && "
                . "goto menuAccess || $this->_bootexittype",

I know it might sound trivial, but I would like to insert some kind of ascii logo to warn my users that it’s time to press the escape button. I can’t figure out how to insert a line break in the line of code below without breaking things… I would like to display someting like :

  . "Demarrage en cours... "line break"
 _____                  "line break"
/  __ \                 "line break"
| /  \/ ___  _ __ _ __  "line break"
| |    / _ \| '__| '_ \ "line break"
| \__/\ (_) | |  | |_) |"line break"
 \____/\___/|_|  | .__/ "line break"
                 | |    "line break"
                 |_|    "line break"
(Presser la touche \${keyName} pour acceder au menu) && "

Thank you again for your time !

Regards,

Frederic
