  • 1.  Extending List of Available Images for Portlet Columns

    Posted Aug 08, 2011 05:26 AM
    Hi

    Am wondering if anyone out there has been able to extend the list of images that are available to apply to portlet columns?

    I can see they're stored in c:\$home$\webroot\ui\evolution2\images (in v12.06) but there are more in there than are shown in the portlet column pick-list. Is it possible to amend whatever populates that list? I'd really like to be able to display the timesheet icon (icoTimesheet.gif) which is in that folder, in my portlet.

    Thanks

    Hi Owen,

    You need to add an entry to the ODF_IMAGES lookup. The ID of the new entry should be the name of the image (in your case IcoTimesheet)
    Once done, you should get it as an option in the Image dropdown in portlet column.

    Thanks very much for this - exactly what I wanted.

    Only point to note for anyone who comes across this in the future is that the lookup code for the entry that you add to ODF_IMAGES must match the case as well as the name of the GIF file stored on the server in the images folder.
