Mica 5.4.2 - Custom Menu

[clsamc...@gmail.com]

Greetings,

I am struggling with customizing the menu options in Mica.  I am editing the file:

/usr/share/mica2-5.4.2/webapp/WEB-INF/classes/_templates/models/navbar-menus-left.ftl


Is there an example or sample to review? I want to change the link to Data Access.

Thanks,

Sean.

Hi Sean,

First thing; do not modify distribution files (/usr/share/micaxxxx), as these will be lost on the next upgrade.  See documentation about how to override a page template: https://micadoc.obiba.org/en/latest/admin/pub-configuration.html#override-one-of-the-page-model-templates In your case you will alter the default template by adding a new template file in the folder /etc/mica2/templates/

More specifically, if you want to change the link to Data Access, then add this code to the file /etc/mica2/templates/models/navbar-menus-left.ftl

<li class="nav-item ml-3">

  <a href="https://data-access-request.example.org" class="btn btn-warning"><@message "data-access"/> <i class="fas fa-arrow-circle-right"></i></a>
</li>

I understand that you are not using the data access service from Mica, so make sure to disable the data access feature in the Administration > General page. 

You can style the html component as you wish.

Regards

Yannick

Hi Sean,

You can copy  mica-webapp/src/main/resources/_templates/libs/navbar-menus-left.ftl and place it under your MICA_HOME/conf/templates/libs/ and change whatever is needed in your case. If this file does not exist under your current installation, you need to restart Mica. Alkso, make sure the file permission is correct depending on your installation, for example, as a server daemon all the files under MICA_HOME should be owned by mica user; compare with the existing files and folders for exact permissions. 

Best,
