Adding a custom dropdown menu to OBIEE global header

AraKOct 24 2013

Has anyone figured out a way to add a custom dropdown menu (similar to the Help menu) to the OBIEE 11g global header?

I can add additional links to the global header by modifying customlinks.xml. It turns out that the src attribute can be set to JavaScript, as in:

<link id="testLink" name="<i>Test</i>" description="Test JavaScript" src="javascript:alert('Test')" vpat="true" target="self" >

  <locations>

    <location name="header" insertBefore="help" />

  </locations>

</link>

So, theoretically, I might be able to add a link that is actually a JavaScript dropdown menu. What I have not worked out is:

  • How do I include the JavaScript code and the list of menu items? Best I can think is to replace the div with some code from elsewhere.
  • How do I make my menu look the same as the other dropdown menus in the global header?

Help????
