Banner being covered by image...

[Wayne_Beck]

I have followed the directions in the Windchill Customization guide and even searched on the old exploder. I have not found a solution yet to this issue. I have tried changing the justification of the table and text and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Wayne,

Do you mind sharing the contents of your codebase/netmarkets/jsp/util/banner.txt file?

My contents are below. Some key characteristics of mine are float:left and margin:2px 170px and z-index:1000.

<style>
#bannerID{
 font-size:10px;
 cursor:default;
 float:left;
 clear:both;
 position:absolute;
 margin:2px 170px;
 padding:3px;
 top:0px;
 z-index:1000;
 color: #ffff00;
}
</style>
<span id="bannerID">
 <!-- Banner begins here -->
 Windchill 10.2 Training System  Production Data From: 06-NOV-2014
 <!-- Banner ends here -->
</span>
<script type="text/javascript">
//START--The tooltip for the top banner
Ext.onReady(function(){
 Ext.QuickTips.init();
 new Ext.ToolTip({
 target: 'bannerID',
 html: '10.2 M020 Training (06-NOV-2014)'
 });
});
//END--The tooltip for the top banner
</script>

Sure...

<style type="text/css">
.bannertable {border: 2; background: #E7E8E0; text-align: center; width:
100%;}
.bannerfont {color: #BB0000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1em;}
</style>
<TABLE class="bannertable" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=5>
<TR>
<TD>
<FONT class="bannerfont">
<center>
<table border=0>
<tr bgcolor=white>
<td width=800>
<font color=red size=+1>
<center>

</center>
</font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</FONT>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

Your code works on my system. Must have something to do with the table. I did leave off the tooltip part of the code. What does that do? Also how did you get the text with the line numbers?

Wayne,

I'm glad you found the code useful. Some of the CSS I pointed out are the key characteristics for placement of the banner text within the webpage. If this solves your question, can you please mark that post as the correct answer?

The tooltip section would display a tooltip as you mouseover the section of text in the banner area.

To get the effect of line numbers and color-coded syntax, you must switch to "Advanced Mode" while you're replying (or posting an OP). That link is in the top-right corner of the section where you're typing. After entering advanced mode, you get a few more options. One of which is called "syntax highlighting". I chose XML. There are other options available too, such as Java and SQL.

Hi Wayne/Ben,

You can try below steps:

1. Update <Windchill_Home>\codebase\netmarkets\jsp\util\begin_custom.jspf to include following

<%@ include file="/netmarkets/jsp/util/banner_custom.jspf"%>

2. Add following (or whatever you want to display in banner) to <WT_HOME>\codebase\netmarkets\jsp\util\banner.txt

<div class="bannerdiv">

Alert: Windchill server will be shutdown soon for maintenance.<br>

Contact <a href="https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/portal" target="_blank">PTC Support</a> for your queries.

</div>

3. Add the following to the Windchill\codebase\netmarkets\themes\windchill\xtheme-windchill.css

.bannerdiv {

color: red; position: absolute; top: 2px; z-index: 1000; left: 200px; font-size: 14px ; font-weight:bold;

background: white;

width: 30%;

}

Note:

• Please note that the Banner.txt file needs to be created for each Locale respectively.

• That is, If your browser Language is set to say GERMAN (DE), then the system will look for <Windchill_Home>\codebase\netmarkets\jsp\util\banner_de.txt file

• If the Locale specific file is not found, then an exception is thrown in the MS logs and Windchill header complains about the desired file not found.

• If you wish to use the default Banner.txt file irrespective of what the browser language is set to, then add the following code to the <Windchill_Home>\codebase\netmarkets\jsp\util\banner_custom.jspf file :

Please have a backup of original banner_custom.jspf file before you modify it.
