Re: Banner being covered by image...

Hi Wayne/Ben,

You can try below steps:

1.       Update<Windchill_Home>\codebase\netmarkets\jsp\util\begin_custom.jspfto 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 contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
