Dashboard Custom Style

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to create a new style with customized CSS files, so reading the documentation I followed the next steps:
To create a new style
1 Copy the SAROOTDIR\web\app\res\s_oracle10 directory (where SAROOTDIR is the installation
directory).
2 Paste it to the SADATADIR\web\res directory (where SADATADIR is the data directory) and give
it a meaningful name.
3 Make and save your modifications.
The style sheet becomes available in the Dashboard Properties screen when the service for Oracle
BI Presentation Services is restarted.
Ok, now I can select my custom Style through "Page Options" -> "Edit Dashboard..." -> "Dashboard Properties".
The problem is that my dashboard is totally with no format, colors or images, looking the Page source I got the next headers:
<link href="/analyticsRes/s_MyCss/b_mozilla_4/PortalBanner.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"></link>
<link href="/analyticsRes/s_MyCss/b_mozilla_4/Views.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"></link>
<link href="/analyticsRes/s_MyCss/b_mozilla_4/custom.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"></link>
Additional searching for an answer here in the fourm found that I need to put the custom folder in: /SAROOTDIR/oc4j_bi/j2ee/home/applications/analytics/analytics/resI did it, but with no success
Any advice is welcome.
Regards.

Hi Jorge,
I just ran into the same problem, in OBI 10.1.3.4.
It looks like there's a bug in OBI -- they appear to be looking in the non-existent folder "analyticsRes", instead of "analytics/Res". Here's a workaround we found:
1. Find the default-web-app folder, where ohs_images is stored. On my Windows server, this was:
C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app
2. Create a subfolder, "analyticsRes", under that folder.
3. Copy your s_MyCss folder there. Your .css and image files should now be in:
C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app\analyticsRes\s_MyCss\b_mozilla_4
and they should be picked up by the system.
4. Note that you'll also need to keep a copy of your s_MyCss folder in the documented location, for it to show up on the dropdown and elsewhere. (An empty folder doesn't seem to be enough, you'll need a deep copy.)
I hope this helps.
-Eric

  • Custom Style & Skin

    My company has several different dashboards running in production. Not all of these dashboards are related e.g Accounting, HR, Marketing. Is it possible to create a custom style and skin at the dashboard level that does not affect other dashboards.

    Go --> login dashboard page
    http://IP:9704/analytics

  • Error while deploying, Custom Style Skin in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7

    Hi,
    I have deployed Custom Style Skin in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 successfuly (with the help of http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/12/oracle-bi-ee-11g-styles-skins-custom-xml-messages/ ).
    Now when we're moving RPD, Catalog & Custom Style Skin from OBIEE 11.1.1.5 to OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7, I could deploy RPD & Catalog but am not able to deploy Custom Style & Skin Folders.
    If you are aware of the process of deploying Custom Style & Skins (as mentioned in the link above), it requies:
    1. Custom Style & Skins folder to be Deploy using Weblogic Console.
    2. Making necessary changes in instanceconfig.xml (to point to the deployed folder) ---- this is where it's failing.
    When I do add necessary tags ( <URL> & <UI>) in instanceconfig.xml and restart Services. Presentation Services dosen't come up. Error message that is in log file is:
    In element URL: Can not have element children within a simple content.
    unknown element 'UI'
    Element 'UI' is not valid for content model : 'All(URL, SocketTimeoutSec,FileSizeMB)'

  • SharePoint 2013 RTE Custom Styles lost on Team Site Wiki Page after you select a control in the editor

    I have a weird issue in that I have custom RTE styles working fine in publishing pages, but in the team site wiki page, when you first go into edit mode you see your styles, but if you highlight some text, select say the font drop down to expand it and then
    select it again to contract it (i.e. without selecting a font), all of a sudden all of the custom styles are lost and everything reverts back to the default RTE styles.
    In my master page I am running the following script to force my styles to be loaded.
    ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(
    function() {
         $(
    "div[RteRedirect]").each(function()
    varid = $(this).attr("RteRedirect"),
             editSettings = $(
    "#"+ id);
    if(editSettings.length > 0 &&
    editSettings[0].PrefixStyleSheet != 'custom-rte')
                 editSettings[0][
    'PrefixStyleSheet'] =
    'custom-rte';
                 editSettings[0][
    'StyleSheet'] =
    '\u002f_layouts\u002f15\u002fFiveP\u002frteStyles.css';
                 RTE.Canvas.fixRegion(id,
    false);
    "sp.ribbon.js");
    See below screenshots (note Heading 2 is orange).
    After you collapse the font menu, you see that the orange H2 has disappeared, and selecting the font drop down again now shows all of the default SharePoint RTE styles.
    I haven't been able to capture the Event that is being called using the debugger. Any ideas how to fix this?

  • The custom style mapping option text still maintains the word formatting or it shows a style override in the InDesign style - how do I correct this?

    When I tell the custom style mapping option to format a Word style (from an rtf document) with the InDesign style, the text still maintains the word formatting or it shows a style override in the InDesign style. I have a large document that needs to import the styles correctly and I've followed the tutorials exactly however the placed text is still hanging onto the word RTF styles. I want the rtf text to convert to my InDesign styles completely without overrides.

    I actually need the cell styles. That's what sets my font, spacing, and GREP styles.
    I did find the solution today. In the table style or table setup, I needed to set the "Stroke Drawing Order" to "Column Strokes in Front". Even though it was previously set to "Best Joins" and I had no strokes for rows or for the table borders, it just wasn't giving priority to my dotted columns.
    Thanks for your response though!

  • OBIEE 11g ignoring custom styles after a space in the formatting

    Hi,
    Has anyone else ran into this odd little problem?
    I'm applying custom styles to our new corporate skin, and it's all working just fine until I enter a piece of code like this:
    .QCPageColumnSectionSidebar{padding-bottom:1px;width:100%;border:solid 1px #000080;background-color:#dce4f9;}
    It appears that as soon as OBIEE encounters the spaces in the CSS formatting, it escapes and ignores the rest. In this case, the border gets applied, but the background color does not. If I swap places of the two classes, then the background color is applied and the border is not.
    In addition, any styles defined after this style are ignored.
    When I inspect element in Firebug, I am seeing this behavior coming through on the presentation side. The CSS that follows the style with a space in it isn't appearing.
    The styles defined by default have very similar styles and they appear to work; does anyone have any idea why my custom styles aren't?
    Thanks in advance,
    Krista

  • Custom style classes

    hi all,
    Is it possible to create some custom style classes and assign them to styleClass property of some components?
    And if it possible, where to place those custom classes and how to use them?
    I've tried without success.
    Regards,
    Bassam

    So this begs the question... if I wanted to change the color of a font on a af:panelHeader for example, (inlineStyle="background-color:navy;color:white;") or I set it up as a class in my css e.g. (styleClass="ph" where the css class is ph{background-color:navy;color:white;}) why doesn't the af:panelHeader component render as one would expect... with a blue back ground and white text? I'm using JDeveloper11g.

  • [Solved] Keep the last button pressed with a custom style

    Hello,
    I have a VBox with 20 buttons and I have this style applied (menu.css) (only for VBox wrapper):
    .button:focused {
        -fx-background-color: #0768A9;
        -fx-text-fill: #FFFFFF;
    But when I pressed other button outside the VBox the style disappears, because the other button get the focus.
    I'm afraid I'm taking the wrong way.
    How I can do to keep the last button pressed with a custom style? (Only for buttons containing the VBox).
    Best regards

    I created a simple method to change background colors in buttons:
        private void setSelectedBtnStyle(Button bboat) {
      // Change style oldSelectedBoat
        selectedBoat.setStyle("-fx-background-color: white;-fx-text-fill: black;");
        // oldSelectedBoat var change to newSelectedBoat
        this.selectedBoat = bboat;
      // Change style newSelectedBoat
        selectedBoat.setStyle("-fx-background-color: #0768A9;-fx-text-fill: #FFFFFF;");;
    Surely not the best solution, but it works for me.
    Best regards.

  • Placing Word docs with custom style mapping

    I am trying to place Word 2007 docs in InDesign CS3 using custom style mapping.
    When I place the Word doc, InDesign creates a whole new set of styles with the correctly mapped new names but with the Word style definition. It records no name conflicts with the my already existing styles of the same names. Each of the new styles has the disc icon next to it, showing it was imported.
    If I delete each of the styles I can replace it with my original InDesign style, but isn't the point of style mapping to eliminate that step?
    Thanks.

  • Load or import custom style mapping in link options – is that possible somehow?

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm working with Instructions for Use and Technical Manual documents in InDesign. I'm constantly fine-tuning our templates, and now I have to refresh them again, because of a brand refresh. I'm using the Custom Style Mapping in the Link Options panel a lot, because it helps us to copy the text from older documents to the new ones with the right formatting, with less effort. The only thing I miss is the “Load/Import Custom Style Mapping” option from this panel.
    Do you know if there’s any options to export/import/load these mappings somehow from one document to another? Is it possible to write a script for that? I find this part of InDesign quite unattached, it seems to me (based on my search) that no other people are using it. I feel lonely, help me here!
    (I have created many new mappings in an older document, and I’d like to be able to use them in the new templates as well, but I can only do that if I map the styles again. And it’s quite time consuming. Maybe I'm just using too many paragraph styles, I have no idea – this could be another question: what is too much when it comes to styles...)
    Thanks a lot,
    Zita

    Sync is not intended to be used as a backup service like you are talking about, but it will work as long as you save the Recovery Key, as Jefferson mentioned (you also need your Sync Username ''[email address you used]'' and your account Password).
    Mozilla has just started working a new "cloud service" that is code named '''PiCL''' for "Profile in CLoud", which I am expecting will be a lot easier to use and might allow the user to access their bookmarks and other data from the internet without adding a "borrowed" PC to your Sync account.

  • Custom-style outline template with prompts and glossary page

    Hello
    I would like to make a template in Word 2010 with a custom-style outline. Would anyone be able to suggest how to achieve these requirements (pointing me to reading material also helpful):
    1. Every phrase the user types into a field gets automatically added to a final glossary page, listing exact letter-for-letter duplicates only once.
    2. Upon opening an instance of the template the user is prompted with the following entry form questions:
           ○ Prompt: "What error message or problem description will this document cover?" The free-text answer will populate the header of each page in the title style.
           ○ Prompt: "What is your initial condition? If none, press enter." The free-text answer will populate the first line in heading1 style in the form "Additional Condition: [user's answer]".
    If the answer is of string length 0, the user's answer defaults to "none".
           ○ Prompt: "List all possible causes for initial condition, separated by a comma. Phrase possible causes as a question." Each comma-separated free-text answer will populate the next line in heading2
    style with the numbering convention "Possible Cause [#]".
     3. Under each possible cause item the following items appear in heading3 style, each on its own line: "System overview, Tools required, Safety precautions, Troubleshooting steps, Confirm possible cause, Fix confirmed
    cause". Underneath the items just listed appear more fields that the user can use.
    I realize this is a lengthy post, probably too specific, but if I could get pointed in the right direction I am willing to do the research!

    Thank you for the insights, Fei Xue. Let me try to explain to glossary requirement better...
    The glossary will reiterate all phrases entered by the user (this is an outline so each phrase will be a paragraph, but paragraphs the paragraphs a brief). I have the following code that executes as written but the problem comes when you change content
    in the outline the glossary does not get updated.

    Hi,
    In SharePoint 2013, we can use JSLink to achieve it.
    1. Save the following code as a js file (URLPopup.js) and upload it into the
    SiteAssets Document Library.
    // List View – Field open modal dialog Sample
    (function () {
    // Create object that have the context information about the field that we want to change it output render
    var linkFiledContext = {};
    linkFiledContext.Templates = {};
    linkFiledContext.Templates.Fields = {
    //Apply the new rendering for URL field on List View
    // "URL" is the column name.
    "URL": { "View": URLFiledTemplate }
    SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(linkFiledContext);
    // This function provides the rendering logic for list view
    function URLFiledTemplate(ctx) {
    var itemTitle=ctx.CurrentItem.Title;
    var urlLink=ctx.CurrentItem.URL;
    var urlDesc=ctx.CurrentItem['URL.desc'];
    if(urlLink!=null&&urlLink!=""){
    if(itemTitle=="Suggestion Box"){
    return "<a href='#' onclick=\"openModalDialog('"+urlLink+"')\">"+urlDesc+"</a>";
    }else{
    return "<a href='"+urlLink+"' target='_blank'>"+urlDesc+"</a>";
    }else{
    return "";
    function openModalDialog(url)
    var options = {
    title: "Suggestion Box",
    autoSize: true,
    url: url
    SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
    return false;
    2.Edit the list view page.
    3.Edit the list web part. Go to Miscellaneous -> JS Link.
    4.Add the following URL into the JS Link textbox.
     ~site/SiteAssets/URLPopup.js
    5.Click "OK" and save the page.

  • Help with Spry Menu Bar 2.0 (vers. 1.0) - Placement of customized styles files

    Hello:
    I would like to congratulate the authors of the new Spry Menu Bar Framework 2.0 (vers. 1.0) -- it has truly been an advance and over the previous generation, and is much more user friendly for those without extensive knowledge of the spry framework.  I have also appreciated the tutorial created by David Powers that is found on the Adobe labs site, and find that it has been very helpful.
    However, I do have one general question that I would seek some clarification before completing the task of deploying the widget in its final form.  I have gone beyond the tutorial insofar as I have customized the styling to allow me to use background images for the menus and submenus in both static and hover states.  I have also gone directly (with add of the tutorial) to work on my own site rather than recreating the bayside tutorial.  I know have my styles embedding into a template page (.dwt).
    My question is whether those styles embedded in the head of the template page should be transferred to a separate styles page and attached (or possibly included in the styles page that handles the CSS for the layout aspects of my site), or whether it should overwrite the styles included in the basic styles skin for the widget.  The latter seems the most likely answer, as many of the classes are for the same names as those in my template page, but have different (and conflicting settings).  However I wanted to make certain of this before proceeding.
    Once again let me thank those responding to this query in advance for the helpful tips I have received along the way, and that will likely follow this post.
    I could post the css and the html with this querry, but I hope I have explained the question well enough that a general response will be all that I need.
    Thanks again for the help.

    Thanks for your helpful response.
    I had already tried the various options (overwriting basic styles, skins, etc) and quickly learned to back track as they were definitely not the answer to the question I posed.  I then included them in the customized style sheet for the entire site and clearly de-marked them as styles governing the spry menu widget 2.0 (1.0) with the warning that future developers working on the site should use care in amending them, and warning that they be remain included in the general styles file.
    I was going to indicate in response to my own query that this seemed to be the best practice, but your response confirmed what I had learned.
    Thanks once again for your helpful advice and intervention.

  • Custom Style in Item Renderer

    Hello guys, again here :)
    Well, i have a tile list which renders almost 50-60 items.
    I want to give a toolbar, which will be used to customize all
    the item renders at the same time. like, change picture border and
    it will change the border in all the item renderers
    If i am not wrong then the solution is to add a custom style,
    and invoke it using sytlemanager.
    need your guidance in this regard
    thanks in advance :)

    Attache some code as inspiration.
    HTH.
