I am trying to edit the name of a panel within Project dashboard using the overrides.py file but it isnt working and I need some help. I defined an overrides.py file under /opt/stack/horizon directory which contains the following:

from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _

import horizon

settings = horizon.get_dashboard('project')
user_panel = settings.get_panel("overview")
user_panel.name = _("Overview-Foo")

and also modified the settings.py under openstack_dashboard to include the following line: 'customization_module': 'horizon.overrides',

Thank you for your help.

If the path you set in the local settings is 'horizon.overrides', you should place overrides.py in /opt/stack/horizon/horizon.

Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction. So I made 2 changes and that helped fix the problem: - as you suggested, I moved overrides.py under /opt/stack/horizon/horizon - I added the customization_module property to local_settings.py instead of setting.py under openstack_dashboad. I tried following what was in thislink under the section: Modifying existing dashboard and panels - http://docs.openstack.org/developer/horizon/topics/customizing.html (http://docs.openstack.org/developer/h...) . It says to change the HORIZON_CONFIG in settings.py. Is this a defect and should I open one? Thanks for your help.

I think the way it's expressed might make sense for Django developers but not necessarily for people who are new to Horizon and not so familiar with Django. Feel free to open a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon to make the docs clearer. Thank you!

(If you like you can submit a patch for it too!)

The following changes helped fix the problem: - moved overrides.py under /opt/stack/horizon/horizon - added the customization_module property to local_settings.py under openstack_dashboard/local/ instead of settings.py under openstack_dashboad

Thank you Julie for helping me out with this.
