This is an extremely interesting series. It has inspired me to dive into Pentaho BI Server PUC.

But since I have NO java or SVN experience I want to make sure I am not starting off with an impossible situation.

To give me more confidence I was wondering if you could mention what additional challenges trying to do this on a Mac and using BI Server 3.6 would present.

@Bill

When I refer to the .properties file it involves adding a reference to that properties entry in the source code which makes up the UI (Mantle).

The only way to change that link is to make changes in the source (which I have already outlined in this post).

Thanks Prashant. I am not a Java programmer and I assume doing as you suggest (modifying the source code) would then require me to recompile the Pentaho application. I am not comfortable doing that at this point as I think I would break things, maybe it’s not a big deal.

But I wasn’t exactly sure what you meant by potentially referencing a new/old properties entry? That sounds more like the sort of change I would desire.

I’ll check out looking for the logo file via firebug.

Thanks again for this most informative blog.

Bill,

Have you tried checking out the source code and (I’m not a Java programmer by the way) and doing a find for the logo file name or even the surrounding elements (you can find these out using Firebug) then you should be able to make a hard coded modification or reference a new/old properties entry in the messages_en.PROPERTIES file?

DO you know how to change the web page address that is linked to the large rectangular button in the upper right hand corner of the User console, says “@pentaho”.

I changed the graphic image but the web link underneath seems to be embedded as http://www.pentaho.com.

I tried resetting the pentahoHomePageName=
propertly in /biserver-ce/tomcat/webapps/pentaho/mantle/messages/messeges_en.PROPERTIES but that didn’t work.

Mike You might want to have a look at this post. There is a productName property which is by default "Pentaho User Console" - might be worth a shot! Prashant
