Making the Text for the Service link Bold in ESS.

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We are using ESS for ERP 2004. We have a set of services defined in an Area in ESS. If we want to make a service link highlighted by making in BOLD, how can we do this. There are options in the service parameters in the IMG for making it quick link, emphasized, disabled. Emphasized does not help us. How can we make this service link BOLD or change the color etc.

This is a very urgent production issue, as we went Golive today and we are having this issue.

Thanks a lot!

Chakri,

I am not sure if you can really do that. The portal uses the theme to find the associated CSS (cascading style sheet ) while creating/generating the iViews/html code and thogh youhave control over the look and feel to an extent, you do not have control over individual elements ( Like the service text) etc.

Let me know if you finhd out something

regards

Are you kidding me?!?! An URGENT production issue because some text is not in bold?!?!? Man, if that's the most urgent production issue, I would love to be there! haha

There is NO way to do this in configuration or any simpler means.

Two options for you:

(1) Modify the XSS webdynpro that constructs the Area Group and Area pages. Unless you add in some crazy hardcoding or some such, your change will most likely be "make every service link bold"....which will look pretty messed up considering subareas and the area page text are in bold already. 😃

(2) Second option...using the proxy class like that used in benefits enrollment services (Open, Generic, etc), you can write your own proxy class. In it, you would look for your specific "service" name in the code (much like Benefits does). If your service was found, you could dynamically change the text of the service link and append the needed HTML (ie. "<strong>" and "</strong>") onto your service link text. That should do it.

Hope this helps your URGENT need. 😃

Doh! In my post above..."and append the needed HTML (ie. "" and "") onto your service link text. ".....the pieces in parantheses are the HTML for "bold" (ie. "strong")....sorry....it got converted.

the simple solution would be copy the webdynpro application do the required modification in html .... just try this..

You are looking at modifying the look and feel of the home page framework. You need to create a custom webdynpro page using standard rfcs for homepage.

This is the only way you can change the design of the homepage.
