Navigation path in Cognos connection

[konesens]

Hello ,

We would like to save some space on the connection portal page by moving the navigation path (like Public Folders > project_1 > my_package) at the same level as Entries (where last , previous, number of entries are displayed, etc ...)

I've attached a print screen.

Any help is welcomed.
Thanks

Just did a quick check with Firebug and I don't think this will be possible. The code the populates the "Cookie Crumb Path" (The Folder path your looking to move) is completely different then that of the level of Entries...etc.

I know you can change the color based on this old 8.4 Customization tutorial, but not the location of this path on the page.

That said, Cognos 10.2.1+ now has a new Cognos Theme Designer (CTD) so there may be something in there. I have yet to install and play with the CTD.

You might be able to hack it though, by using tools like the Firefox addons Firebug and WebDeveloper to try and isolate the code and moving it. I would avoid this though as this might break your install and is completely unsupported.

It looks like it should be possible by modifying the ..\ibm\cognos 10.2.1\c10_64\templates\ps\logicsheets\presentation\controls\presentation.xsl file.

Or maybe the ..\ibm\cognos 10.2.1\c10_64\templates\ps\logicsheets\presentation\main\presentation.xsl file.

Or maybe even a combination. I'll try playing around with them later today, but in the meantime if you try on your own, please please make sure to backup all files before touching them. Also, I strongly recommend backing up the entire templates folder, IBM can and will refuse to provide support if you've made any changes to the Cognos internals.
