Thanks Tipster, saved me a lot of time to figure the tables out myself . Using it in DEV instances to tell the tools and bundle level.

Hi! Everybody,

Good Morning!

Actually, I want to hide the ‘Home’ link [which is coming top right of every page] for some pages.

I have made changes in PT_BRANDING (Application Package), in class ‘HeaderLinkPIA’ and ‘HeaderLink Base’.

My addition in ‘HeaderLinkPIA’ class in PT_BRANDING (Application Package):

To hide the ‘AddToFavorites’ while going to Careers page(Root > SelfService > Recruiting Activities > Careers)

I have added the below code in the method ‘SetAddFav’

/* If &CRef.Name = “HC_HRS_CE_GBL” Then
&DisplayAddToFavLink = False;
End-If;

If &CRef.Name = “HC_HRS_CE_GBL2″ Then
&DisplayAddToFavLink = False;
End-If;
*/

*** And it worked successfully ***

So, I have tried to apply the same concept to hide the ‘Home’ link, I have added one method ‘SetHomeURL’ in ‘HeaderLinkPIA’ class. Tried to catch the HTML for ‘Home’ link, like ‘PORTAL_HEADER_ADDTOFAVORITES’ is the HTML for the ‘AddToFavorites’ link. However i haven’t found the exact HTML with button coding in for the ‘Home’ link, as i have found button coding n all in ‘PORTAL_HEADER_ADDTOFAVORITES’ for ‘AddToFavorites’ link.

I have found many HTML for ‘Home’ like ‘PORTAL_HOME_1′, ‘PORTAL_HOME_HEADER’, ‘PORTAL_HOME_SKELETON’, ‘PR_EMPLOYEE_HOMEPAGE_DESIGNERA’, ‘PT_HOME_SKELETON’ etc. and tried to hide the link as i have done with ‘AddToFavorites’, BUT NO SUCCESS….

Anyone, please please please help me.

Warm Regards,
Navin

You’ll want to look in PeopleBooks and the red paper library on Customer Connection.

The SQL updates the message to give a specified message to a single user. It’s a quick and dirty update. The PeopleCode version is the method to use if you’re doing it ‘properly’.

RN > I’ve not tried this on Enterprise Portal, only on the other applications. I would assume portal would be different so you’ll probably have to do a fair bit of tweaking to get it to work. It’s probably worth checking out though as it may well be easier to achieve the same result in Portal than HR …
