Hi Prashant thanks for your guide, i tried with following versions 3.6 3.8 3.6.0-GA 3.7.0-GA 3.8.0-GA,4.1.1-GA.
The problem is that this file
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/gnujax…jaxp-1.0.0.jar
is not found

and this is the output of compiling

[ivy:resolve]
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[ivy:resolve] :: UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCIES ::
[ivy:resolve] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[ivy:resolve] :: gnujaxp#gnujaxp;1.0.0: not found
[ivy:resolve] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[ivy:resolve]
[ivy:resolve] :: USE VERBOSE OR DEBUG MESSAGE LEVEL FOR MORE DETAILS

I guess, maybe, it’s a problem with the server http://repo1.maven.org, because some jars needed to build are no longer available. Does anyone had the same problem?
Sorry for my incorrect english
thank you in advance
Best wishes
Simone

Great article.

Helpded alot. BUT…

We are trying to create a new toolbar button. Worked fine following your instructions until we came to the main_toolbar.xul file. We created the entry for our new button:

The button needs to open a xaction but we do not want to change source code. Is there any existing function that allows us to run an xaction from this button?

Thank you.

Excellent Article!! We are an EE customer and needed to make some modifications like removing some items from the menu and tool bars. Even though there has been some slight re-factoring since 3.5.2 we were able to accomplish the changes with minimal effort. We are currently on 3.7.0 GA and everything works as expected.

Thanks for this great post!!

Hi and thanks for a great guide!

I’ve been trying to modify the main_toolbar.xul in 3.7.0, but as soon as I remove a button or so I get the error message “error initializing xul runner maintoolbarhandler.init” when I restart tomcat. The whole toolbar is also missing. What am I missing?

Hi Prashant,

I want to embed a full local website in Pentaho user login page.

# startup urls (each displays in its own tab)
num-startup-urls=2
startup-url-1=/pentaho/welcome/welcome.html
startup-name-1=Welcome
startup-url-2=http://www.pentaho.com
startup-name-2=Pentaho Business Intelligence
startup-url-3=/pentaho/ViewAction?solution=samples&path=/reporting&action=JFree_Quad.xaction
startup-url-4=/pentaho/SampleDashboard

In this code, is it possible instead of pentaho welcome.html I can start my own site as welcome screen. It will be like a site within a site.

Is it possible ??

Regards,
MOHIT

Thanks a lot for your support!

Hi,

Read your blog… found very helpful..

In the blog, you have mentioned about

svn://source.pentaho.org/svnroot/bi-platform-v2/tags/3.5.0-GA
svn://source.pentaho.org/svnroot/legacy/pentaho-xul/trunk
svn://source.pentaho.org/svnroot/pentaho-commons/pentaho-gwt-modules/trunk
svn://source.pentaho.org/svnroot/pentaho-open-admin-console/tags/3.5.0-GA

I do not have internet connection on my working pc… and because of this, my new project installation remains incomplete/incorrect… (connection error)

Is there any way to separately download these files (like manually installing subclipse) and than manually use it?

I need help urgently… please help…

Thanks & Regards

Juan,

By default the Admin role has different options than any other User.

If you wanted to make further changes you will need to dig deep into the source code.
