Specifying locale information and console branding
By default, the pages of the Community Console are presented
in the English language. IBM provides translations of the content
in other languages as a set of files that can be uploaded. Other
console items that are provided by IBM for different locales are
the banner graphics. Optionally, you can upload your own logo graphics. You
can also upload your own custom style sheet used to format the text
on the pages.
You perform these tasks using the Locale Upload page. To display
the Locale Upload page:
- Click Hub Admin > Console Configuration > Locale Configuration.
- Click Create.
- Select a locale from the Locale list.
The Console displays the Locale Upload page.
From the Locale Upload page, you can choose to perform the following
tasks:
- Brand the console, by uploading a unique banner or logo (or
both)
- Upload files that IBM provides so that you can localize the
content of the elements on the console
Branding
the console
You can customize the way the Community Console looks
by changing the branding images. Branding of the Community Console
consists of importing two images: header background and company
logo.
- The header
background spans the top of the Community Console.
- The company logo is displayed at the top right
of the Community Console.
The images must be .JPG format files and must conform to certain
specifications, so that they will fit in the Community Console window.
- To see the specifications required for the banner and logo,
click Image Specifications on the Locale Upload
window.
- To see samples of a header or logo image, scroll down to the Sample Images portion
of the page and click sample_headerback.jpg or sample_logo.jpg.
- To download samples of a banner and logo to use as a template
for creating your own banner and logo, click Sample images (header background and company logo).
After you have created the banner or logo (or both), perform
the following steps:
- To upload the customized banner, perform either of the following
tasks:
- In the Banner field, type the path and
name of the image file you want to use for the header/banner.
- Click Browse to navigate to the .jpg file
containing the banner, and select it.
- To upload the customized logo, perform either of the following
steps:
- In the Logo field, type the path and name
of the file you want to use for the company logo.
- Click Browse to navigate to the .jpg file
containing the logo, and select it.
- Click Upload.
Note: When you replace the header background and company
logo, you must restart the Community Console for the changes to
take effect.
Changing
the style sheet
If you want to specify a style sheet that is different
from the default (for example, if you want different sized fonts
or colors), perform the following tasks:
- Perform one of the following tasks:
- In the CSS field, type the path and name
of the file that contains the customized style sheet.
- Click Browse to navigate to the file containing
the style sheet, and select it.
- Click Upload.
Localizing the data on the console
If you receive resource bundles or other locale files
from IBM, you can use the Locale Upload page to upload them. Resource bundles include the following information:
- Console Labels, which contain text strings
that represent all the text on the interface
- Event Descriptions, which contain text
strings used to display event details (for example, "An
attempt was made to create a duplicate connection")
- Event Names, which contain text strings
representing event names (for example, "Connection already
exists")
- EDI Event Descriptions, which contain
text strings used to display EDI event details (for example, "FA
Reconciliation Failure. No activity ids found for the transactions
found in the EDI Acknowledgement. ")
- EDI Event Names, which contain text strings
representing EDI event names (such as "FA Reconciliation
Failure")
- Extended Event Text, which contain text
strings that provide additional information about events (for example,
the cause of the event and troubleshooting information)
To upload a resource bundle or other locale file:
- For each resource bundle or file, perform either of the following
tasks:
- Type the path and name of the file.
- Click Browse to navigate to the file,
and select the file.
- When you have finished uploading the files, click Upload.
