Hi All -
<b>NW04s</b>
<b>NB. This can not be done through the Theme Editor.</b>
I am trying to change the content separator bar that sits between the 1st level navigation and the toolbar. I located the stylesheet that refers to the gif then traced it to its location in :\...\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\ sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\portalapps\com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata\themes\portal\
z_aga_th_default\prtl\images\topLvlNav. I have attempted the following:
1. Backup original GIF, rename to .bak. Create new GIF and name it same (separator.gif). No change initially, but then after another refresh 10mins later, there was white space where the GIF was. New GIF was not recognised by the Portal? (It was named exactly as the original.)
2. Delete new GIF, rename original to separator.gif. Changed blue to black in Paint, save. Portal pulls gif but the colour is changed back to blue(!). Check gif - yep, image is blue. Try this again to make sure I'm not going mad; same result.
3. Create new image and name it ContSeparator.gif. Place in same location as separator.gif. Edit stylesheet (prtl_ie6.css) in Dreamweaver to reference ContSeparator.gif. Save. Refresh Portal. No change. Wait some time (due to original change taking so long - about 15mins), refresh again - still no change. Go back and check code in stylesheet. Code has reverted to referencing "separator.gif". My changes were overwritten.
What am I doing wrong? I am changing the files in my personalised theme, not any of the SAP defaults. Am I using the wrong editor? I am changing the files on the server disk, not in the Theme DB (can that be done?) Will my changes be overwritten everytime? I am creating my theme, while doing this on the side: I am saving chnages to theme after making changes sometimes. Could this be a problem? I've read about saves overwriting, but can not ascertain what version of EP the people are running. Perhaps I am not trouble-shooting this problem properly, however, any general information/rules relating to NW04s and CSS changes is appreciated.
Please note that I am not an expert. I'm learning CSS today and I'm teaching myself Theme Editing also.
Thanks,
Tammi
