Title for report parameter page

Srividya Sharma

Hi

This seems like a basic question.

How do I add a title to the report parameter page?

I launch my report from a hyperlink in another report.

I tried to add __title and __showtitle but this does not seem to have any effect.

Please help.

My first guess is that you'll probably have to edit the parameter page's jsp pages to add a title.

Srividya Sharma

How do I go about doing that?

Thank you.

You can find the jsp pages associated with the viewer in /birt-viewer/webcontent/birt/pages/

Hi

This seems slightly more complicated than I thought.

Getting back to the request parameters, what do __title and __showTitle stand for?

mwilliams

I believe those will work for the actual viewer window. Let me look into the parameter page title thing a little more. I'll let you know what I find.

Hi William,

I greatly appreciate your effort.

This is an urgent requirement for my project.

I would be deeply indebted, if you can come up with something soon.

I haven't found where "Enter Parameters" is set, yet. The easiest way might be to just create a custom JSP parameter page:

Ok, maybe I found it. I think you can change it in the viewservlets.jar file in the viewer lib directory. Unjar the file and go to org/birt/report/resource. In there you'll find a messages.properties file. You can probably change that here. Let me know.

Hi William,

Thank you for those great pointers.

I did find the messages.properties file where you had said.

The property key for "Parameters" that comes on the top-left of the parameter page could not be found.

Anyway, this will change the title for the entire application, but I want to customize the page for each report.

I just want to show a title related to the report on this page, so that the user knows where he is and for which report he is entering the parameter values for.

Since this seems difficult to achieve, I tried another alternative, where I can add the title to the parameter's prompt text ( if you have seen my other recent post ).
If I am able to add a newline character to the prompt text, I might be able to make the prompt text itself appear like a title. Then again, I am not sure how the text field beside the prompt text will align/ resize itself (Just thinking out loud).

Creating your own custom JSP parameter page, using the taglib, may be the way to go.

I happen to meet with the same problem.(birt version 2.6.2)
And i find the location where to set the default birt viewer title according to mwilliams' reply .

The file is "[eclipse home]\plugins\org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_2.6.2.r262_v20110214\birt\WEB-INF\lib\viewservlets.jar",
in the jar file ,the path is "org\eclipse\birt\report\resource\Messages.properties",
the attr is "birt.viewer.title".

mwilliams, thanks very much for your help.
