Masthead Customization

[Former Member]

Hi Experts!!

I am trying to modify the masthead.

I am following

I want to capture the company logo on the left column and the masthead iview on the right column.

Could anyone let me know how to remove the Collapse try and the options menu that appears on the top of the iView.

Also if there are any other easy ways or suggestion on customizing the masthead please do let me know.

Thanks for your help

Hi

Thank you Shravanan.

I have another question. In the mast head, I want to include comapny's branding image, instead of the ones provided by SAP. Could you tell me where to upload the images (which folder) and could I do it through portal with admin rights.

Thank you and your help is appreciated

Hi Priya,

You can put the images in the <b>image</b> folder of the project. But make sure in referring the correct path and take care on the image size.

Check these threads to get more idea.

In case of theme editor, it is jus a change in the URL path of image.

Hope it helps.

Hi Saravanan,

As you sugegsted I made the PERSONALIZE_TEXT as

PERSONALIZE_TEXT=My Profile in the headeriView_nls.properties file

but it didnt work.

I also tried changing the welcome text to Hello by changing the property value

WELCOME_TEXT to HELLO .... but it also did not work....

Is there somthing I'm missing out?

Thanks for your help

Hi Priya,

I forgot to mention onething. You need to restart the portal. Have you done that after deploying the par file?

Hi Saravanan,

Thank you for the information. I put the pictures in the .../dist/images folder. I followed the thread you mentioned, I think I'm losing my way.....

Could you please tell me in HeaderiView.jsp, where exactly I need to indicate the replaced image.

Also I would the Function Area of the masthead, I want to display the personalize option as My Profile.

Thank you, youv been very helpful..

Hi Priya,

The "Personalize" option can be changed in the headeriView_nls.properties available in the private/classes folder of the project. You need to edit the PERSONALIZE_TEXT=Personalize to PERSONALIZE_TEXT= My Profile.

I ven't tried it. But this could be the way to do it. Get back if you get any issues.

Hi Saravanan

thank you very much..

I need to customize the masthead, and I never did this before. I downloaded the com.sap.website.navigation.masthead.par file and uploaded it in NWDS. From the threads you sent suggest me that I need to include the Lib file inside the PortalINF folder before uploading the par file.... I hope I am right....

If you also could tell me how to remove the Collapse try and the options menu that appears on the top of the iView...it would be great...

thanks,

Hi Priya,

To remove the Collapse tray and the Options button, set the property "<b>Show Tray</b>" for the iview to <b>No</b>.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Priya,

The correct par file is "com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par ".

Unzip the par file and get the Jar files available in it. Upload the par file in NWDS. jus put those jar files in the lib folder of your project.

You can also customise the masthead by creating a new theme. That would be the simpler way. If you are interested in removing the collapse and option icon ,theme editor is the easiest way. For removing the tray, Ranjith's suggestion will work.

Hope it helps.

Saravan,

What is with the siz eof the image file.How much should it be.

In my case I do not see the masthead image in my DI server when I re-start my DI.But gets resolved automatically when I re-start the DI again.

Thanks.

Hi Priya,

I believe, Creating a customised portal theme is the easiest way of modifying the masthead. Check this thread of how to create a desktop and assigning it to users.

<a href="http://">https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=139215&messageID=1557763</a>

And check this for removing collapse icon.

Hope it helps.
