KB214038: How to Extend the “Adding or Removing a TimeStamp for a Report or a Document” SDK Sample in the MSDL to Render Different Messages for Different User Locales


Community Admin

• Strategy


SUMMARY: The “Adding or Removing a TimeStamp for a Report or a Document” sample provide a way to customize the time stamp message on reports and documents. This Technical Note will explain how a user can extend this sample so that the message can be customized differently based on the current user locale.
 
Follow these steps to achieve this customization:

  1. Follow the instructions for the sample “Adding or Removing a TimeStamp for a Report or a Document” to create the plugin.
  2. At step 14 of the instructions for both report and document, use the following code instead of the one provided in the sample:
    <web:ifFeature type="preference" name="locale" value="1033"><web:then>    
       <div class="mstrMenuLastUpdatedCustom" nowrap>Last Warehouse Update: <jsp:include page="../inc/whtime.inc" flush="true"/></div>    
    </web:then>
     <web:else>
       <!-- Render something else -->    
    </web:else>
    </web:ifFeature>
  3. Complete the steps to create the plugin

The <web:ifFeature> tag used here will check if the value for “locale” in “Preferences” match the value specified in the code to determine what to render. In this case, “1033” is value for English (US).
 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The Strategy SDK allows you to customize the standard Strategy Web interface, and extend and integrate the Strategy business intelligence functionality into other applications. However, before changing the way Strategy Web products look or behave, it is helpful to understand how the application is built. For more information regarding the Strategy Web architecture or the process of customizing Strategy Web, please refer to Strategy Developer Zone (https://resource.microstrategy.com/msdz/).
