Css in obiee

Can any one tell me, steps how to implement css in obiee dashboard?
Edited by: saket on Apr 27, 2011 10:12 PM

Add a text field to a dashboard, then edit it's properties and add your css. Be sure to check the "Contains HTML Markup" checkbox.
To find the css element names use a tool like csscan (Chrome extension) or firebug (firefox).
Hope that helps you out with the basics,

Here is a thread where I added css to existing elements to help give you an idea: Re: Prompt Label Alignment?

Is the following possible in OBIEE

I have a requirement: that runs like this - There r four dimensions (let's say d1, d2, d3, d4). There are also measures like m1, m2, m3, m4. I have got a requirement that a OBIEE report needs to be produced that has d1 columns at the left, one of (d2, d3 and d4) at the top i.e. across, m1 measures should be displayed across while at the end, total of m1, m2, m3, m4 will be displayed at the far right. Required format is like this:
d2(val 1) d2(val 2) d2 (val 2) d2(val 3) .......... d2 (val n) ..........
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 Total m1 Total m2 Total m3 Total m4
d1 val 1 123 456 23 89 7 598 650 900 302
Total ...............................................................................................................
We created pivot table with all these measures and dimensions. The problem is that at the across level, we are getting all four measures instead of one. Things we have tried already:
1) Trying to hide the column with a custom CSS property, it hides the totals and then fails to hide the label for drill across measures. Even if it works, downloading the report would bring in all measures anyway.
2) We tried to turn off totals and bring in a new calculated measure to supply the totals. But calculated measure dialog box does not allow us to hide details for some measures and allow details for other measures.
3) We can not think of any RPD level trick because this appears to be purely presentation side issue.
Please help!!!

Ok, please look at the attached screenshot:
http://bayimg.com/BaiGmAadL
There are three measures: year to date expense, prior year to date expense and planned expense. Let us say there are two org unit "Item A Trading" and "Item B Trading". Report is supposed to show breakdown of year to date expense for those two Org Units, but display total of all three measures at the end (that too within the pivot).

OBIEE 11g agents are failed to connect to Essbase

OBIEE 11g agents are failed to connect to Essbase. We are using :USER & :PASSWORD (SSO) in connection pool setting to connect to Essbase.
User account exists in both OBIEE and Essbase. OBIEE dashboards which are based on Essbase are working fine. Essbase variables in RPD are upto date.
Only agents are failing and error says invalid credentials, but dashboard pages are running without any issue.
OBIEE: 11.1.1.5 (BP4)

Any help will be appreciated.

We finally implemented CSS Token option and ended up with this error. We are unable to connect to essbase with CSS Token option.
We followed the Oracle document to implement this.

Any help will be appreciated!

OBIEE 11g : Unable to see any images while customizing styles and skins

Hi,
I am trying to customize OBIEE 11g style and skin. I followed the steps mentioned at http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/12/oracle-bi-ee-11g-styles-skins-custom-xml-messages/ and also in oracle white paper http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi/customizing-oracle-biee-11g-176387.pdf.
I am not able to see any images on any OBIEE screens. After login, I can see the name of skin which i have created as the default skin but login page images, header images (after login) are not coming up. Can you please provide solution?
P.S. I have not changed any images or any css files in the custom skin and style directory. I just wanted to know first whether the new skin/style works for me. If it works, then i will apply some sort of customization.

That is correct. Also remember to delete browser cache. Here you have the folders: Re: how to insert the picture in the dashboard of BIEE

How to change the color of Menu links in obiee

Does anyone knows how to change the colors of Menu links in obiee. With menu I mean the menu links default right top (Search, homepage, Catalogus, Dashboards, new, Open). This should be set in skin and style files, not? I searched a lot. I could not find It. It is now Oracle blue, we want to change this.

Thanks

You have to customize portal banner and portal content CSS files as needed in OBIEE server.
below links will guide u but will will not tell you exactly but your req can be done by customizing portal content and portal banner CSS files. try to identify the exact code using firebug in mozilla.

EPUB CSS exporting issue

Today I came across an important issue in InDesign's CSS creation during EPUB export. It is best described here:
http://www.pigsgourdsandwikis.com/2010/05/indesign-flubs-exporting-headers-to.html
But I will paraphrase... When a paragraph style is defined as part of the TOC, and therefore becomes one of the 'headers' on EPUB export, the 'margin' settings for that style (which come from the 'space before', 'space after', 'left indent', and 'right indent' settings in the paragraph style) are not correctly set. For example, instead of setting the margin as 1 em, InDesign will set it as 0.01 em (which has little or no effect on the appearance of the text).
This only occurs when a paragraph style is part of the TOC and thus becomes a header in the CSS file. If it is not a header, the conversion to margin settings in CSS seems to work fine.
I couldn't find anything about this on the forums, so I thought I should post it. It seems that right now, the only workaround is to manually edit the CSS file. I have been using Sigil to do this. I should add that I'm using InDesign CS5 on Snow Leopard - I don't know if the problem existed with CS4.

"Graph Prompt" align center in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have got a requirement to align the "Graph Prompt" center in OBIEE 11g (11.1.16.2 BP1). I could remove the boarder around the prompt using the following CSS.
<style>
.PTPageControl { border:0px; padding:0px; }
.PTPageEmbedded { border:0px;}
</style>
Can someone please let me know how to algin "graph prompt" center? Thanks in advance.

Basically, IE9 breaks flash ExternalInterface calls if your flash component is embedded with an object tag with an embed tag fallback, and the object id and embed name is the same.
The easiest workaround is to tell ie9 to render your page in IE8 Standards mode. To do this, insert this in the element:
 <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" >
Otherwise, you might just want to use the object tag only or embed tag only.

How to find out the web/app server used by OBIEE and OBIEE HomePath (Urgent

Hi All ,
I have two questions
1) I wanted to know the OBIEE home path if it is installed on the some other machine (Client's Machine).
I wanted to update the .css files present on the machine, but before updating the file i should know the home path, to reach the desired .css file and update accordingly. I dont know where they have installed OBIEE.By default OBIEE home is (c:\) but if the user has selected some other drive then, how we can find the OBIEE Home path?
I have the access to the machine.
2) The path of the CSS files depends on the web server used by OBIEE.
When IIS web server is used, the CSS files in OracleBI_HOME\web\app\res directory
when OC4J is used, the CSS files in OracleBI_HOME\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\analytics\analytics\res
so inorder to update i must know which server is being used.
Is there any way to find out which web application server is installed on the clients machine?
Thanks in advance.!!!!!

Please see responses to your first posting here: OBI EE Home Path

Accessing the files in OBIEE deployment folder. IIS vs OC4J

Hi,
I want to access the files like CSS in the OBIEE deployment folder.
I know how to access the files in the deployment folder when the application is hosted on IIS.
For Example:
I have Hosted a .net application on IIS.
The application deployment folder is sampleApplication. The URL will be something like - http://localhost/sampleApplication/samplePage.
And if i have a CSS file under Styles folder in sampleApplication folder, the file can be accessed Like - http://localhost/sampleApplication/Styles/style.css.
I want to do the same for OBIEE hosted on OC4J. I want to access the CSS files through the URL.
Where will be the CSS files and How will they be accessed through the URL.
Http://localhost:9704/..??
Thanks in advance.

I found that filenames are case sensitive on the iphone but not on the simulator so check that.

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

Changing Fonts to a new font not defined in OBIEE

We are doing a rebranding of our company and we would like to use a new font for all of our reporting. This font is not one that is currently listed in OBIEE. I have the .otf files, I am hoping these read the same as .ttf files, but I don't know where to place them nor can I find where to define them so the Dashboard, Answers and the pdf write picks them up.
Thats for any help,
Jay

Hi,
I'm afraid this will be very hard to implement. In fact, it hasn't much to do with OBIEE, but with your browser. The problem is that GillSans is not a standard font in a browser. So even when you edit all your css files and set GillSans as the default font, it won't be used because GillSans isn't implemented as a font in your browser.
Read here more information about "browser-safe fonts":
