[IPython-dev] Customize IPython tree / dashboard with machine name

[Matthias Bussonnier]

So, 


Have look at this repo : 

https://github.com/jupyter/docker-demo-images <https://github.com/jupyter/docker-demo-images>


you see in particular that you can extend the page template: 

https://github.com/jupyter/docker-demo-images/blob/feea0967a3493a7ebe514f53084d84a7c8bfe88c/common/templates/page.html <https://github.com/jupyter/docker-demo-images/blob/feea0967a3493a7ebe514f53084d84a7c8bfe88c/common/templates/page.html>

(only line 1 and 16-20 of interest) that you can put somewhere on your hard drive:

```/path/to/your/templates/page.html

{% extends "templates/page.html" %}

{% block header_buttons %}
  <span id="login_widget">
    <a class="pull-right" style=“...”>YouText</a>
  </span>
{% endblock %}
```

and then extend the template search path as in here:

https://github.com/jupyter/docker-demo-images/blob/feea0967a3493a7ebe514f53084d84a7c8bfe88c/common/profile_default/ipython_notebook_config.py#L17 <https://github.com/jupyter/docker-demo-images/blob/feea0967a3493a7ebe514f53084d84a7c8bfe88c/common/profile_default/ipython_notebook_config.py#L17>

c.NotebookApp.extra_template_paths = [‘/path/to/your/templates/‘]

You can put text, image, or anything else that will apply to all your pages. 
You can also overwrite other template blocks. 

The JupyterHub case for 1 person many servers is an interesting one. 
I would bring it up as an issue on JupyterHub see if there are some abstractions we can
improve.

The trouble is I have so many now that I am forgetting which port number corresponds to which notebook server. So I'd like to add a bit of text to the dashboard that says at least the machine name, and preferably some other identifying info, in case I have two servers running on the same machine. Is there an easy way to do this? I looked at the generate_page_title function in html/tree/handlers.py, but it seems to be hard coded to return either Home or the current directory path. Is there something built in configurable? I'd like to avoid having to do anything specialized as much as possible. I'm running ipython 3.1.0, but could upgrade if this feature is available in a newer version.
