How to change the tab name (like General, Content Types...) from Channel Properties

How to change the tab name (like General, Content Types...) from Channel Properties

Navigate to this path

Vignette Configuration Console > Vignette Content > Vignette Content Management Services > Vignette Management Console > Service Provider Framework > Type Specification Registry > System Type Specification Registry > Channel

And copy the XML from the XML variales’ Run value column… Paste it in wordpad… Search for a property sheet tag which has its title attribute as ${TXT_LBL_SHEET_GENERAL}….

Replace this with whatever name you want (this is for General tab)…

Now copy the complete XML and paste it to config value text box of the XML variable … and click ‘Save’..

Push and commit the changes…

Refresh the AppConsole and check…

I haven’t tried it… I guess it should work

Thanks Karthikeyan for the information, btw i am not able to see the ${TXT_LBL_SHEET_GENERAL}…. tag in Channle XML, whereas it is present in Content Type xml. I think it will work for Content Types tab names change but not for Channel

Is there any other way to change the tab names for Channel ?

Appreciate your contribution.

Hi Karthik,

I am also having the same issue, not able to see some of the tab names (from Channel Properties) in Channle XML.

How to change the tab name (like General, Content Types...) from Channel Properties 2

Hi Seema,

Thanks for your kind words.J

Sankar & Seema – I did some test on this …. Firstly, if we want to do some changes to property sheets, then we will have to override the existing system property sheets through the “Custom type Specification Registry” in config console. This mechanism works for property sheets having “title” attribute of the “property sheet” tag, as the identifier for every property sheet (The Value you give in title attribute will appear as the name of the tab too..)

If one has to override an existing property sheet and provide his own values, he can do that by mentioning the property sheet’s title and providing our own values for the rest of the attributes. What we are trying to do now is to change that “title” itself. So if we do that, then it will add a new tab with that name rather than change the existing name.

So, as far I know, I guess we cant change the tab name which is system provided… But, you can add your own new tabs…

I am sorry…L You can raise a ticket in VOLSS and check if they have some other idea or you can check the KB. If you wanna add new tabs, then I can help you

You need to hide the existing sheet by overrriding it and setting a non existing capability and at the same time you add a copy of it with the name you like better.

Hi Karthic,

Please give the configuration steps. By the time i am not able to see some of the system provided tabs in the property sheet. i am waiting for your reply...

Ok, so let us see how we change the name of "General" tab of the Channel into "Pippo".

1. Get the type spec of the "Root Channel" type from the System branch in the config console. Paste the xml into a text file

2. Remove from the xml the definitions of all buttons and of all property sheets but the general sheet. You will end up with something like this

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<service-provider-asset-type-specification
    type-name="RootChannel"
    base-type-name="ManagedObject"
    visible="false"
    hierarchical="false"
icon-url="/common/images/listview/list_channel.gif">

     <property-sheet
   title="${TXT_LBL_SHEET_GENERAL}"
   width="700"
   height="500"
   context="/sitesp"
   url="/secure/sheets/channel_editor.jsp"
   type="com.vignette.as.ui.serviceprovider.site.struts.form.ChannelForm"
   persistor-type="com.vignette.as.ui.serviceprovider.site.struts.actions.ChannelEditorPersistor"
   display-weighting="0">
   <script>/secure/sheets/objectSelector.js</script>
   <element-spec name="channelName" capability="CHANNEL_WRITE" />
   <element-spec name="description" capability="CHANNEL_WRITE" />
   <element-spec name="path" capability="CHANNEL_WRITE" />
   <element-spec name="active" capability="CHANNEL_WRITE" />
   <required-capability>VCM:CHANNEL_READ</required-capability>
</property-sheet>

</service-provider-asset-type-specification>

3. modify the xml as follows

     <property-sheet
   title="${TXT_LBL_SHEET_GENERAL}"
   width="700"
   height="500"
   context="/sitesp"
   url="/secure/sheets/channel_editor.jsp"
   type="com.vignette.as.ui.serviceprovider.site.struts.form.ChannelForm"
   persistor-type="com.vignette.as.ui.serviceprovider.site.struts.actions.ChannelEditorPersistor"
   display-weighting="0">
   <script>/secure/sheets/objectSelector.js</script>
   <element-spec name="channelName" capability="CHANNEL_WRITE" />
   <element-spec name="description" capability="CHANNEL_WRITE" />
   <element-spec name="path" capability="CHANNEL_WRITE" />
   <element-spec name="active" capability="CHANNEL_WRITE" />
   <required-capability>VCM:I_LIKE_CHOCOLATE</required-capability>
</property-sheet>

<property-sheet
title="Pippo"

   width="700"
   height="500"
   context="/sitesp"
   url="/secure/sheets/channel_editor.jsp"
   type="com.vignette.as.ui.serviceprovider.site.struts.form.ChannelForm"
   persistor-type="com.vignette.as.ui.serviceprovider.site.struts.actions.ChannelEditorPersistor"
   display-weighting="0">
   <script>/secure/sheets/objectSelector.js</script>
   <element-spec name="channelName" capability="CHANNEL_WRITE" />
   <element-spec name="description" capability="CHANNEL_WRITE" />
   <element-spec name="path" capability="CHANNEL_WRITE" />
   <element-spec name="active" capability="CHANNEL_WRITE" />
   <required-capability>VCM:CHANNEL_READ</required-capability>
</property-sheet>

</service-provider-asset-type-specification>

4. Create a new type spec in the Customer branch. Call it as you wish (for instance "New name for channel general sheet"). Provide the xml above as its xml

that's it.

Actually my issue is not possible to see the "tab name" from Root Channel property sheet in Configconsole. Then how can i change it to my custom name ?

Ex:
I am using v8 version. By default getting the "Properties" tab in channel properties. i need to change the tab name from Properties to some <<abc>>. Now the problem is not possible to see the "Properties" tab related details in Config Console (Root Channel property sheet).

Are you able to understand my issue ?

RE How to change the tab name (like General, Content Types...) from Channel Properties 2

How do you say that? Are you checking by searching the word “Properties”? If you do so, you are not going to find it since it wont be hard coded… It will be variables like ${TXT_LABEL_GENERAL}
