Several questions about customizing ePortfolio

[jaburke]

I have several things I want to do to ePortfolio. If you can help address any of these, I would greatly appreciate it.

1. Hide the 'Modify' button
-I tried commenting out the line in available.csp that referred to the modify button, but apparently I didn't do it correctly b/c I could still see it.
2. Hide the Filter option on the parameters tab
3. Is there any way to use a list of values with the parameter tab?

Thanks much!!

1. CE9 does not have a Modify button in available.csp, but there are several buttons at the top of the page - Favorites, Public, Organize, Preferences, Logoff, Help. To disable these, you have to comment out their code in 4 places. They are part of variables buttonLinks and simpleLinks, which occur in two code routines.

My approach would be to look for the string "Modify" in the customization section of the file. The string is probably assigned to a variable with a name like L_MODIFY. Then search for all occurrences of the variable.

2. The Filter tab can be disabled in schedule.csp. In CE9, look for the line Response.Write("<option value='formula'>"+L_RSF); and comment it out.

3. Parameter value lists are possible. There are 3rd party tools available from the likes of APOS. I think CE10 has some built-in functionality, but others here will have to address that. You can also code your own. I built fully-dynamic picklists for several parameters using Microsoft's Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") functions.

Hey Mike,
Thanks for your response. You're full of good info, huh? I am using CE10 - but I will look for all occurrences of MODIFY and see what happens. Maybe I missed some of them when I tried it before.

Thanks!!
