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)'
Any pointers?

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
Let me know.

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

Oracle BI EE 11g – Styles, Skins & Custom XML Messages

Hi Friends,
I want to have a separate folder for my skins and styles as Shown in the following post
Rittman Mead Consulting &raquo; Blog Archive &raquo; Oracle BI EE 11g &#8211; Styles, Skins &amp; Cus…
How to do this using OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1 because it is using s_blafp & sk_blafp along with s_FusionFX and sk_FusionFX
As said in the blog when I create
c:/obiee11g
Do I need to copy all the four folders
S_blafp ,
sk_blafp,
s_FusionFX,
sk_FusionFX
I want to change the Oracle log on the login screen and put my company logo and also I have some write back templates I want to save in separate folder as said in blog like c:/obiee11g .. so that they won't get effected when upgrading .....
Please throw some light on how to proceed..
Thanks
OBIL

Hello OBIL,
This we can achieve in 7 steps:-
1. Copy styles and Skins from C:\Middleware_Home\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res (sk_blafp and s_blafp) to C:\OBIEE_SS
2. Rename these folders to sk_deepak and s_deepak respectively.
3. Copy WEB_INF from C:\Middleware_Home\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1\analyticsRes to C:\OBIEE_SS
4. Make modifications in Skins and Styles. As an example I am replacing oracle_logo.png file with my logo in C:\OBIEE_SS\sk_deepak\b_mozilla_4 and C:\OBIEE_SS\sk_deepak\login folders.
5. Modify instanceconfig.xml (location) file: Insert the following inside ServerInstance tags.
<URL>
<CustomerResourcePhysicalPath>D:\OBIEE11g</CustomerResourcePhysicalPath> <CustomerResourceVirtualPath>/OBIEE11g</CustomerResourceVirtualPath>
</URL>
<UI>
<DefaultStyle>deepak</DefaultStyle>
<DefaultSkin>deepak</DefaultSkin>
</UI>
6. Deploy OBIEE_SS as an application directory from Weblogic Admin Console.
a. Click on Lock and Edit (From Change Center)
b. From Domain Structure select deployments under bifoundation_domain
c. Click Install
d. Select OBIEE_SS folder from path C:\OBIEE_SS and click Next
e. Select Install this deployment as an application and click Next
f. Give your deployment a name or keep everything default at this page. Make sure to select I will make the deployment accessible through the following location and click Finish
g. Select Take me to deployment configuration page and click Finish
h. Make sure under target tab you have the Admin Server or BI Server selected and click Save
i. Click Activate Chnages (From Change Center)
7. Restart BI Services.
Do let me know if you need any help in doing this.
Mark if helps,
Thanks,

JSF: Using own custom styles in skin css file?

I have created custom skin by defining custom css file and implementing predefined ADF style definitions (aliases).
Also, I need some other styles for use on specific parts i application, and my idea was to put these styles in same css file which is used in skin definition.
For example:
.footer_txt {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; color: #FFFFFF}
My intention was to use this styles in styleClass attribute of various
adf faces components
But after starting application, I can't find my additional styles in generated css file (pfmskin-desktop-10_1_3_1_0-ie).
Looks like that css generator is ignoring any styles which are not ADF predefined styles?
I was thinking that this is possible, because at the end of srdemo.css file (in SRDemo application) there is one part like this
/* custom styles that I made up and set on the styleClass attribute of various
adf faces components */
.adfFacesDemoSearchPanelGroup
width:100%;
padding:6px 6px 6px 26px;
background-color: #0099CC;
I can put my styles in separate css file, but then I have to include this file in every application page...
Is it possible to have custom defined styles in skin css file, and use them in styleClass attribute?

Hi,
skinning only works with the ADF faces skin selectors. There are plans to support custom selectors in a future version

Custom sign in page OBIEE 11g

Hello all,
I have almost did it :D
I followed the instructions of rittman mead --> http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/12/oracle-bi-ee-11g-styles-skins-custom-xml-messages/
But the last step is missing :/
I have a folder with sk_pageaccuei, s_pageaccueil and WEB_INF which is cold analyticsRes.
It is located here : /opt/oracle/obiee/middleware/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/
I have changed the logo and i'm able to see it by enter the url.
The problem is, when I add these following lines in my instanceconfig, the presentation server does not restart !
<URL>
<CustomerResourcePhysicalPath>
/opt/oracle/obiee/middleware/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/analyticsRes
</CustomerResourcePhysicalPath>
<CustomerResourceVirtualPath>/analyticsRes</CustomerResourceVirtualPath>
</URL>
<UI>
<DefaultStyle>pageaideaccueil</DefaultStyle>
<DefaultSkin>pageaideaccueil</DefaultSkin>
</UI>
Could you tell me where i'm doing a mystake ?
My OBIEE is sets up on a Linux platform...
Thanks a lot,
Antoine

I seem to have found conflicting information on the resource virtual path. In one instance docs say the default is '/Res' but other docs say the default is '/analyticsRes'. My guess is if this is reserved internally to default to '/analyticsRes' and then fall back to '/Res' then attempting to overwrite the default with instanceconfig using a reserved word would throw an error.
1) Did you try the instanceconfig without the virtual path to /analyticsRes?
2) Does the saw.log indicate why the restart failed?

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.
Steve Webster

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.
Steve Webster.

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?

How can I custom my date in OBIEE.

How can I custom my date in OBIEE.I want to see date in my user friendly format for Date Format MM/DD/YYYY to filter with
leading zero(number) eg (01.21.2008) and not M/D/YYYY (1.21.2008) that i am seeing.I would appreciate it if you could give me a step by step process on how to do it in RPD.I know how to change the data format in my column propeties since i have more that 5000 columns that need changed.I am looking for a localised area
that can take care of business.
Thanks

Edit the following parameters in OracleBI\web\config\localedefinitions.xml
- Search for the locale that you want to customize by looking for the tag *<localeDefinition name="en">*
- Customize the following tags as you require
<property name="dateShortFormat">MM/DD/YYYY</property>
<property name="dateLongFormat">dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy</property>
- Restart the presentation server

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!
