How to replace the detail icon with your own icon

Actuate Information Console uses a magnifying glass icon to display more information about files, channels, and jobs. For example, <context root>\iportal\activePortal\private\jobs\completedjob.jsp contains the following code using this image:

<img src="<html:rewrite page="/iportal/activePortal/images/detailicon.gif"/>"

  border="0" align="middle"

  alt="<bean:message bundle="iportalResources"key="TTIP_JOB_DETAIL"/>"

  title="<bean:message bundle="iportalResources"key="TTIP_JOB_DETAIL"/>" >

1	Create your new details image in <context root>\iportal\activePortal\images. The default Actuate Information Console icon, detailicon.gif, is 12 pixels by 13 pixels. During development, use a new name, such as new_detailicon.gif.

2	Rename the existing details image, <context root>\iportal\activePortal\images\detailicon.gif, to another file name, such as detailicon_original.gif.

3	Rename your new details image to detailicon.gif.

4	Close your browser, re-open Information Console, and log in. The new detail icon appears in all places that Actuate Information Console had displayed the magnifying glass icon. In Figure 2-23, the default detailicon.gif image has been replaced by an image of a question mark.

If you want to replace only some instances of detailicon.gif, search the files in the context root for all files that use that image. Then replace that file name with your image’s file name in only some of the files. For example, you could use the default magnifying glass in most places but change <context root>\iportal\activePortal\private\common\breadcrumb.jsp to use your own image.

Follow similar procedures to customize other images in Actuate Information Console pages that are not specified in the skin manager or in <context root>\WEB-INF\functionality-level.config.
