Question

Windchill 10.1 - Banner -

Hey Preeti,

I'm triggered by your screenshot:

- Could you share the way you tweaked the banner for your testserver?

- For change objects, we don't succeed to add the object name next to the object number, similar to WTDocuments. Did you?

- But mostly, your change object is an ECR, but the icon and the name points to an ECN. Isn't that very confusing?

Regards, Hugo.

Hi Preeti,
Wow! I’ve been trying to get a banner like Preeti’s but haven’t figured out how to do it. I even opened a call to tech support and I didn’t get what I wanted.



Please let us know how you managed.



Just in case this could be useful to others... Here is what my test environment banner looks like (see attached image). It’s clear enough but I like Preeti’s banner better.



Here’s how this is done... Modify/create the begin_custom, then restart Windchill.



vi /opt/ptc/Windchill_10.1/Windchill/codebase/netmarkets/jsp/util/begin_custom.jspf

I don't know exactly what Preeti did however I did this in
codebase/netmarkets/jsp/util/begin_custom.jspf:
*<%@ include file="/netmarkets/jsp/util/banner_custom.jspf"%>*

And this in codebase/netmarkets/jsp/util/banner.txt:
*

****
**Windchill 10.2 M010 Training**
****
**
*

To get this:
banner

Yes, its 9.1 but I always like mine. You get to dabble in graphic design and photoshop. This shows a transition from land to air to space. Yes, that's Hubble up there. Trick was as the window shrinks left, the "Event Manager" white text would cross over the lighter atmosphere area. I found an HTML trick to put a shadow around text so it still could be seen.

OK Tony that is cool. An additional question: The banner is nice but was there any Message of the day type functionality in addition to the banner added for 10.2?

You can just change the contents of banner.txt, refresh your browser, and you have the updated
message. This could easily be automated with something that recreates banner.txt each week/day/hr
with whatever the "message of the day" is.

That is true Randy, and it does work well. I was wondering if there were other options.

Hands down, Antonio's is sweet! Nice stuff! You can change even the colours and text in your banner.
