otm screen

[Brintha]

hi all,
Can any one of you help me out in modifying the buy shipment search screen. In that screen we have a field called indicator, Where the color of indicator changes according to the selected option(red, yello, green). I need to add some more colors in that list and also the corresponding image.
I found that in fields.xsl, label.RedIndicator refers to red and similarly how can i create my own option of that label and image.
Please help me out in this.

Thanks,
Brintha.R

Hi,

I currently have a similar requirement i.e. adding more colors to shipment indicator. Did you get any solution to the above problem?

Hi,

Since these fields are already difined and scripts are written to pick these colours, I have not found a way to do the same.

Anyone figure out how to do this yet?

Re: otm screen

Indicator is used to provide quick and simple indication. Personally, I think 4 colors (or 5, if you set glog.webserver.indicatorWhiteEqualsNull=false) are enough for me (and users) to remember the meanings.

However, if you really need that, I would first suggest to use User Defined Images.

If you still want to change Indicator, this would be a big job because they are hard-coded everywhere in OTM!

1. Change all JavaScript

function showIndicatorImage(el, value)
{
  if (!document.images)
    return;
  if (value == 'G')
    el.src=glogUrlPrefix+"/images/themes/themestechnoblue/gr_circle.gif";
  else if (value == 'Y')
    el.src=glogUrlPrefix+"/images/themes/themestechnoblue/yellow_triangle.gif";
  else if (value == 'R')
    el.src=glogUrlPrefix+"/images/themes/themestechnoblue/red_square.gif";
  else if (value == 'W' || value == 'null')
   el.src=glogUrlPrefix+"/images/themes/themestechnoblue/white_circle.gif";
  else
   el.src=glogUrlPrefix+"/images/spacer.gif";
}

2. Modify all Dropdown list (of ALL screens) to include new values you added

Joseph,

Yeah, that's pretty much the thought process we had internally. I just wanted to make sure that no one had found a simple way to do it.

We probably will get back into using User Defined Images.

Thanks.
