[CC] Modify target of home button in CC

[dbga]

Hello,

With the implementation of Cognos 8 we have made some changes to CC.

One of them is that regular users enter the portal, not in Public folders, but in a folder below. (Added <param name="consumer-root">/content/folder[@name='Users']</param> in system.xml). Because Public folders is not accessible to users, the Home-link (the blue house) is not working.

Is there a way to modify the Home-link to point to <param name="consumer-root">/content/folder[@name='Users']</param> ?

Regards, Nico

It appears that this action is controled by ../ps/portal/js/cookie_jar.js that does some computations to figure out what your 'back-url' is.  I would suggestionthat you look into doing custom portal pages for your users and locking them out of the main portal.  It would be a lot easier.

Kevin, are you sure that the blue house link is set in ../ps/portal/js/cookie_jar.js and not the blue arrow?

Custom portal pages will be cumbersome. Maybe I can try to just make a hardlink and remove the blue house link?

Hmmm, I have managed to produce a link in the CC header area.

In system.xml add
<param name="ui_add">
   <CC_HEADER_MENU>
      <item>
      <url>http://www.google.com</url>
      <label xml:lang="en">Home</label>
      </item>
   </CC_HEADER_MENU>
</param>

All I want to do now is let this link point to my new folder/tab: /content/folder[@name='Users']

I would like to use the search path notation as this will not change when deploying to another server. I have not found a solution in The Cognos(R) 8 Administration and Security Guide.pdf.

Has anyone come across this problem?
