Modifying E1Menu.maf

[annieef]

All,

I apologize in advance for what may appear to be a (simultaneously) ridiculous or easy request.

Our business would like a link to display when they get to the E1Menu.maf for our ess page. They want a simple link to a PDF or additional text to display ABOVE and BEYOND the user ID and password request. I would have thought to be straightforward but I've yet to find anything that assists.



We're on E1 9.0 Tools 9.1.4.4.
IBM AS/400 with WL front-end

Hi, annieef. Search your JAS server for a file named: html4login.jsp. Then, look for the variable named: companyDislaimerHTML and change it's value.

Thank you, but we don't seem to have this variable. Are you speaking of tools 9.1.4.4?

Okay...I found it, but how do I alter it to link to PDF?

com.peoplesoft.e1.container.MafletResourceUrlBuilder resourceUrlBuilder;
String companyDisclaimerHTML = "";
// modify this variable's value if you want to add your own company disclaimer text
String companyDisclaimerCustom = "";

Sorry, I misspelled it.

You should be able to link you your PDF like so: String companyDisclaimerHTML = "<a href='http://myserver.com/test.pdf' target='_blank'>link to PDF</a>";

Got it. My HTML is....remedial - and my understanding is that I'd need to stash the PDF in a folder somewhere accessible. I'm not familiar with the structure of these JSP pages. I"m trying to determine where in this structure the file would need to be. Alternatively, the text is showing up for me, but when I use your suggestion and put it in the HTML area (above the text in the JSP) it reverts back to the original text...nothing displays.

com.peoplesoft.e1.container.MafletResourceUrlBuilder resourceUrlBuilder;
String companyDisclaimerHTML = "<a href='http://ess.xxxxx.com/login.pdf' target='_blank'>link to PDF</a>";
// modify this variable's value if you want to add your own company disclaimer text
String companyDisclaimerCustom = "";

I'm thinking I need both the text and the html?
