Portal Style & Theme

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I have integrated SRM 5.0 into Portal.Most of the iviews are IAC i.e., all are ITS based services.

The issue is that the Portal Theme does not get reflected on these services after integration.

When a BSP or Webdynpro is integrated the the application gets the Portal Theme,when executed from Portal but the ITS services are not getting this.

What can i do.

Regards,

Abhishek

Please give suggestions.

All,

We had the same issue and reported it to SAP via OSS, they confirmed that it doesn't work...

-----

Short Text     
IAC Look & Feel in Portal (Theming)     
Long Text     
We want the IAC iViews that are provided by the
Business Package SRM to adopt the look & feel as
configured in our custom Corporate Portal Theme
object.

We followed all help.sap.com and notes (607843) that
are availible.
They discribe the use of System Administrator >
Portal Display > ITS Theme Generator.

We "tried" to use this tool to generate the theme for
the IAC applications but without any result. We
cannot find the reason why our Custom Corporate theme
will not apply to the IAC's.

Thanks in advance,

Dear Customer,
Thanks for the details provided.
The trace shows that the call for the css from the ITS and not from the
portal.

EBP system does not support the portal theme integration,

We have discussed this issue internally and come to the conclusion that
it is not possible to use a portal theme with SRM; that is, the SRM
application uses its own stylesheets and will *ignore* the portal theme.
You can however customize these stylesheets to fit the look and feel of
your portal theme. The main stylesheet in question is ebpapplication.css
https://tgxrr02.muc.allianz:8443/sap/public/bc/its/mimes/bbpglobal/99/style/ebpApplication.css


You can modify this stylesheet directly or even create a new SRM theme
if you like. The stylesheet can be found at:

Transaction SE80
Internet Service BBPGLOBAL
-> Mime Objects
-> Style
Simply modify this css (or create a whole new theme) and then republish.
Hope this helps, if so please confirm the message at your earliest
convenience.

Regards,
Manikandan.

Hi Benjamin,

Thanks a lot for the response it gave a very clear picture.

I tried editing EBPApplication.css in BBPGLOBAL i changed all color attributes to custom colour but no effect.

Whch property should i change to remove the blue colour.

Please give me suggestions on this.

Hi Abhishek,

I cannot help you on that as we dind't do any modification on the .css yet...

What you coudl do is download IE developer toolbar and use that to figure out what element you need to change:
