Banner being covered by image...

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>

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.

<%@ page import="com.ptc.netmarkets.util.NmUtils, com.ptc.netmarkets.util.beans.NmHelperBean"%>

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>

<%response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");%>

<%//

NmHelperBean helper = new NmHelperBean(pageContext);

try {

String filename=NmUtils.getLocaleSpecificFileName(helper.getNmLocaleBean().getLocale(), "/netmarkets/jsp/util/banner", "txt" );

String wthome=wt.util.WTProperties.getLocalProperties().getProperty("wt.home");

wthome+="\\codebase";

String actualfile=wthome+filename;

java.io.File f = new java.io.File(actualfile);

if(f.exists()){

}else{

filename=NmUtils.getLocaleSpecificFileName(java.util.Locale.US, "/netmarkets/jsp/util/banner", "txt" );

}

%>

<jsp:include page="<%=filename%>" flush="true"/>

<%

}

catch (Throwable t){

helper.getNmErrorBean().setThrowable(t);

%><jsp:include page="/netmarkets/jsp/util/error.jsp" flush="true"/><%//

helper.getNmErrorBean().setThrowable(null);

}
