UI customization

Jenni

Hi,

Thanks in advance. We are trying to add few new items to the File menu of the User Interface of TS 6.7.1 SP1 on Solaris 10. After making the canges to the ui_custom.xml and running the make_toolkit.ipl successfully, we are not able to see the new items in the File menu. Any pointers?

Thanks!
Jenni
Here is the customized ui_custom.xml
[html]

label="OpenDeploy" description="OpenDeploy" url="/iw-bin/wdpro_menu.ipl/c_deploy_prompt.cgi" windowFeatures="width=640,height=570,scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,titlebar=no,resizable=yes,status=yes,center=true,dependent=false" target="_blank" operationID="cu.ccpro.opendeploy.op"> label="SPS File Rotater" description="SPS File Rotater" url="/iw-bin/wdpro_menu.ipl/c_sps_file_rotater.cgi" windowFeatures="width=640,height=570,scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,t itlebar=no,resizable=yes,status=yes,center=true,dependent=false" target="_blank" operationID="sps.file.rotater.op"> label="Simple OpenDeploy" description="Simpled OpenDeploy" url="/iw-bin/wdpro_menu.ipl/c_simpledeploy_prompt.cgi" windowFeatures="width=640,height=570,scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,titlebar=no,resizable=yes,status=yes,center=true,dependent=false" target="_blank" operationID="cu.ccpro.simpleopendeploy.op">

Which ui_custom.xml did you modify? Please specify the complete path.. Were all modifications made as per the UICG guidelines for a new menu item?

Adam Stoller

This may seem like a silly question - but did you refresh your browser window - or quit it and start a new browser window to get back to the GUI?

You don't have to quit or logout - but you do have to refresh the window in order for the changed menus to show up.

Hi Fish,

Yes I did logout and opened up a new browser window. Still no changes had been reflected.

Hi,

It looks like you are using operation id, you can first try to remove that and check. Links should appear fine.
And than if you want to restrict access on roles, use operation id.

Read doc on how to use that in TS 6.7.1, you have to manually assigns operations to roles through TS admin interface.

Hope that helps.
Regards.

Hi,

The path is customer_src/etc/conf/customer dir.

I verified the path with the TS Mannual.

Thanks,

Have you modified roles_custom.xml as well? Note that according to customization Guide

For each defined operation, an operation element must be explicitly added under
all TeamSite role elements, regardless of whether isPermitted is true or false

Jenni is using 671SP1 - roles_custom.xml no longer exists in 671 - it is replaced with userops.xml and I don't believe it needs to be configured unless you want to restrict the options -- in which case you set up userops.xml and then have to play with the role definitions to enable / disable the operations for given roles.

Jenni is using 671SP1...

Ah, I've missed that and not for the first time either... Thanks

Boris,

There is no customization based on roles.

Thanks!

(shot-in-the-dark) In IWHOME/local/config/lib/content_center/ - I believe there should be a file called toolkits.xml make sure that it has an entry for the 'customer' toolkit and that it's referencing either customer_src or customer_out (I don't remember which one, and I don't have access to a server right now to look).

If you don't see that line - you may want to contact Support (or perhaps someone here can post it) to get the correct entry for your toolkit.xml file -- then you have to do the make_toolkit.xml again...

Hi,

This is an entry:
toolkit id="customer" path="/iw-home/local/config/lib/content_center/customer_out/customer.tk.war"

But i dont think this is a problem, if this was the problem you would have not seen this in make_toolkit output:
delete] Deleting: /teamsite/iw-home/local/config/lib/content_center/customer_out/customer.tk.war
[war] Building war: /teamsite/iw-home/local/config/lib/content_center/customer_out/customer.tk.war

What Adam said about roles in 6.7.1 is correct, but i would suggest try removing operation id once.

Jenni

Hi All,

Thanks for the reply.
Here is the toolkits.xml. It is having an entry for "customer".

Thanks!

Will do the change and test it.

In 6.7.1 Administration tab (in the UI), navigte to Roles and Permissions->Manage Roels then select a role and there is a category called "Custom User Operations" . Under this operation you will see all the custom menu options, so check the options which you need to display based on the role.. Hope this will help.

Vani,

Thanks for the reply. My question is not about the roles. Though I make modification on the ui_custom.xml, I could not see the change in the UI.

Thanks!

Yes you are right, after removing the operational id, it worked. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks!

Great !!

Now only if you want to restrict access to these newly added custom menu items based on roles, you can use operation id, make chanes in userops and also follow what Vani has said.
