defining path in datamodel.xml

[Shorty1]

Hi,
I want to define a new logo for the user portal. Therefore I used the <logo> tag to define a new logo in the datamodel.xml. But this isn't working. I used the structure that is mentioned here: https://www.itophub.io/wiki/page?id=2_7_0%3Acustomization%3Aportal_xml</logo>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<itop_design xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.3">
  <module_designs>
    <module_design id="itop-portal" xsi:type="portal">
      <properties>
        <logo>userportal-ci/css/new-itop-logo.png</logo>
        <themes>
          <theme id="bootstrap" _delta="define_if_not_exists">userportal-ci/css/bootstrap.css</theme>
        </themes>
      </properties>
    </module_design>
  </module_designs>
</itop_design>

But it is still using the "old" one and did not redefine the logo path. Also defining the logo only with ../images/itop-logo.png doesn't work.

So you created your own extension? You need to add an attribute.

<logo _delta="redefine">userportal-ci/css/new-itop-logo.png</logo>

You'll also need to add a dependency in the extensions module.xxx.php file to the module where itop-portal is originally defined.

Hi Jeffrey,

thanks for your answer. I'm really new to extensions, but yes I created my own, new extension. But it is hard for me to understand, therefore I need some help from your side :( How should this line looks like in the extensions.xml. I thought this file is only for specifying the name, version etc. of this extension. There is no dependency to other modules.
I only want to define a new css (that currently work) and another logo (this doesn't work)

module.userportal-ci.php

<?php
//
// iTop module definition file
//

SetupWebPage::AddModule(
    __FILE__, // Path to the current file, all other file names are relative to the directory containing this file
    'userportal-ci/1.0.0',
    array(
        // Identification
        //
        'label' => 'CI Portal Customization',
        'category' => 'business',

        // Setup
        //
        'dependencies' => array(

        ),
        'mandatory' => false,
        'visible' => true,

        // Components
        //
        'datamodel' => array(
            'vendor/autoload.php',
            'model.userportal-ci.php', // Contains the PHP code generated by the "compilation" of datamodel.userportal-ci.xml
        ),
        'webservice' => array(

        ),
        'data.struct' => array(
            // add your 'structure' definition XML files here,
        ),
        'data.sample' => array(
            // add your sample data XML files here,
        ),

        // Documentation
        //
        'doc.manual_setup' => '', // hyperlink to manual setup documentation, if any
        'doc.more_information' => '', // hyperlink to more information, if any 

        // Default settings
        //
        'settings' => array(
            // Module specific settings go here, if any
        ),
    )
);


?>

Sorry to ask such dumb questions.

Cheers Shorty

Hello,

Your module only needs to contains an XML file, plus the module.*.php file that is mandatory. In this later, remove everything in the datamodel key. Place your customization in a file named after your module. For example for the userportal-ci module, you should use datamodel.userportal-ci.xml.
