Enabling banner customization in a custom theme for dashboard spaces

The default theme allows for the customization of the banner that appears at the top of a space. You can allow the same banner customization in spaces that make use of your custom theme by providing your own dynamic content spot for your banner.

1. Open the theme.html file in your custom theme folder.
2. Edit the following section of the file to refer to your own banner content, as shown below.
   Before:

   <a rel="dynamic-content" href="dyn-cs:id:bannerHtml@tl:oid:csa2.theme"></a>

   After:

   <a rel="dynamic-content" href="dyn-cs:id:customBannerHtml@tl:oid:csa2.theme"></a>

3. Define your own dynamic content spot for your theme as follows:
   1. Locate the Mashups_DynamicSpotMapping file.
      For a stand-alone server:

      profile_root/BusinessSpace/node_name/server_name/mm.runtime.prof/config

      For a cluster:

      dmgr_profile_root/BusinessSpace/cluster/mm.runtime.prof/config

   2. Add a new property, such as customBannerHtml, with a value of the path to the banner file in your custom theme, including the WebDAV directory. For example,

      res:/mum/mycontenthandler/mm/dav/filestore/public/themes/customTheme/banner/customBanner/banner.html

   3. Run the updatePropertyConfig command using the wsadmin scripting client to update the configuration.
      • For a stand-alone server:
        The following example uses Jython:

        AdminTask.updatePropertyConfig('[-serverName server_name -nodeName node_name -propertyFileName "profile_root/BusinessSpace/node_name/server_name/mm.runtime.prof/config/DynamicSpotMapping.properties" -prefix "Mashups_"]')
        
        AdminConfig.save()

        The following example uses Jacl:

        $AdminTask updatePropertyConfig {-serverName server_name -nodeName node_name -propertyFileName "profile_root/BusinessSpace/node_name/server_name/mm.runtime.prof/config/DynamicSpotMapping.properties" -prefix "Mashups_"}
        
        $AdminConfig save

      • For a cluster:
        The following example uses Jython:

        AdminTask.updatePropertyConfig('[-clusterName cluster_name -propertyFileName "dmgr_profile_root/BusinessSpace/cluster_name/mm.runtime.prof/config/DynamicSpotMapping.properties" -prefix "Mashups_"]')
        
        AdminConfig.save()

        The following example uses Jacl:

        $AdminTask updatePropertyConfig {-clusterName cluster_name -propertyFileName "dmgr_profile_root/BusinessSpace/cluster_name/mm.runtime.prof/config/DynamicSpotMapping.properties" -prefix "Mashups_"}
        
        $AdminConfig save
