Custom portal Navigation

4049147

Hi,

I wanted to update the action links to navigate to a new dashboard by invoking a browser script. I created the function called customPortalPageNav in Userscript.js as shown below.

USERSCRIPT.customPortalPageNav = function(arg_array){

  var str="parent.PortalPageNav(1";

  for(args in arg_array){

  var arg_name=args;

  var value=arg_array[arg_name];

  str+=",'"+value+"'";

  }

  str+=")";

  eval(str);

};

USERSCRIPT.customPortalPageNav.publish={parameters:[

  new USERSCRIPT.parameter("1","Dashboard","/shared/FOLDERNAME/_portal/DASHBOARDNAME"),

  new USERSCRIPT.parameter("2","Page","Insert your Page"),

  new USERSCRIPT.parameter("3","Table","Insert Table"),

  new USERSCRIPT.parameter("4","Column","Insert Column"),

  new USERSCRIPT.parameter("5","Value","Insert Value")]};

I restarted the Presentation Servers after making this change. However, I still see this function not appearing when I choose the action links in column properties of the dashboard. Has anyone come across this issue? please let me know if I missed any steps here ? I am not sure why the new function isn't showing up.

Thanks.

Hi,

I found that the issue is due to caching.

Please try:

a) restart the analytics deployment in the console

b) delete the history in your browser

c) close and open your browser

Thank you for the information. Can you please elaborate on the first point? Do you mean I should upgrade analytics deployment?

Restarting the Weblogic deployment can be done in Weblogic Administration Console. All the deployments have controls to start/stop/restart them.

I restarted analytics deployments on the weblogic console, cleared cache and retried, but I am still seeing the same error. When I click on "Invoke browser script" and choose function name I don't see "USERSCRIPT.customPortalPageNav" available to select.

Did you check if there are multiple files named UserScript.js?

maybe the changes are applied to the wrong one

You caught it right. I made changes to the wrong file. Modified the right file and it worked fine.

Thank you for all the help
