Header part for customised module

madhuusa · Oct 5, 2006

Hi All,
We have a custom module which will overwrite the Apply button functionality of forms.

For instance when you press apply on LL form, it will take you to a result screen and tell that your data is saved and further instructions on what to do.

Now we had this module in 9.2 and I had retained the header portion of the livelink enterprise page with following code as below.
;;call <.HTMLPrefix() + 'masthead3.html'>( .ModImg() + 'icon_add-create.gif', [WebUser_HTMLLabel.UsersAndGroupsAltImage], 'Form Data Saved Successfully' )

Now the same above code does not work in 9.5. It gives a torn out image of the header.

Can the guru's here please tell me how to have the header code.

Thanks,
Madhu

The usage has since changed.I will include a snippet of the haeder portion here.9.5 uses styles(css) extensively.
In case you want to know

;;call <.HTMLPrefix() + 'masthead3.html'>( .ModImg() + 'icon_add-create.gif',

This becomes call the webscript masthead3.html with these parameters.In this case I am guessing .ModImg is the path to your modules support directory.
Open up yoour <opentextroot>/html and look at what masthaed3.html expects.

Here's How I retained the standard look and feell when I moved form 9.1 to 9.5.Maybe you won't need this because the masthaed3 will call commonheader itself.

Code:

<HEAD>
		<TITLE>Kerr McGee Custom Cat Upgrader</TITLE>
        <link rel='stylesheet' href='`supportDir`livelink.css'>
        `%L.Styles()`

//K N Nair Style Support this is the most important of the aesthetics stuff.I created the supportDir variable using this ;String		supportDir = .HTMLPrefix()
//The 9.5 expects CSS style sheets so point it to somewhere it can get it
	</HEAD>

Then in the body tag
this
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" BACKGROUND="`imgPrefix`pattern.gif" ONLOAD="onLoadFunctionMenu( '`imgPrefix`actions.gif', '`imgPrefix`menuwait.gif' );onLoadFunction()">

I am guesiing just fill in the parameters correctly for masthead3.html.In case you are having difficulty zip up the module and send it to my email appoos at hotmail.com and I will take a stab at it.

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

Hi Nair,

That worked like a charm. Thanks a lot. I added the code from the snippet along with masthead3 signature and voila at first shot, the screen image came nicely.

Regards, Madhu.
