KB41716: How to Show the Document Navigation Path when Running a Flash Document in Fullscreen Mode Using the MicroStrategy Web SDK 9.2.1

In some circumstances, users may want to display a document's navigation path at all times. By default, the path section is hidden by CSS when the document is run in full screen mode. This can be changed by following TN41715  but does not work when running the document in flash view full screen mode. In order for it to work under this situation, the following changes must be made:
 
Sample Code/Error
<web:ifFeature type="bean" name="rw-flash-view-mode;page-full-screen-mode;"  value="rwframe"><web:else>
<web:ifFeature name="page-rw-interactive-view-mode-full-screen-reporter"><web:else>
<web:ifFeature type="requestKey" name="hiddensections" value="contains:path"><web:else>
<div class="mstrPath" id="mstrWeb_path" name="mstrWeb_path" iframe="true">
<%--
Display the "path" section of the template as specified in pageConfig.xml (i.e. Change_Password_Path.jsp)
<jsp:include page="" />
--%>
<jsp:include page='<%=mstrPage.getTemplateInfo().getSection("path")%>' flush="true" />
</div>
</web:else></web:ifFeature>
</web:else></web:ifFeature>
</web:else></web:ifFeature> 

1. In the Web Customization Editor, navigate to the RWD page, double click on the page and click on the "template" tab located on the bottom.
2. For the line that says “Template 1”, click on the modify button and say “yes” to the popup asking if you want to create a versioned copy of this file.
3. Find the following lines of code in the jsp file:
4.  We need to completely omit the first if/else block, so replace the code with the following:

Sample Code/Error
<%-- <web:ifFeature type="bean" name="rw-flash-view-mode;page-full-screen-mode;"  value="rwframe"><web:else> --%>
<web:ifFeature name="page-rw-interactive-view-mode-full-screen-reporter"><web:else>
<web:ifFeature type="requestKey" name="hiddensections" value="contains:path"><web:else>
<div class="mstrPath" id="mstrWeb_path" name="mstrWeb_path" iframe="true">
<%--
Display the "path" section of the template as specified in pageConfig.xml (i.e. Change_Password_Path.jsp)
<jsp:include page="" />
--%>
<jsp:include page='<%=mstrPage.getTemplateInfo().getSection("path")%>' flush="true" />
</div>
</web:else></web:ifFeature>
</web:else></web:ifFeature>
<%-- </web:else></web:ifFeature> --%>
 
 Restart the Web Server for the changes to take place. The final result will look like the screenshot below:
 

 
The example provided in this document is provided “as-is” to the user and assumes that the user:

• Can program, compile (e.g. javac, jikes, etc.), and execute Java programs
• Can configure environment variables (e.g. JAR files, property files, etc.)
• Have all the necessary tools to create Java applications (JDK, IDE, etc.)
• Has access to the Strategy SDK documentation.
• Has read the customization warning at the bottom of this document

 
PREREQUISITES:
 
For the sample to work, the Strategy Web JAR files must be accessible by the Java Runtime
Environment. The Strategy Web JAR files can be found under:

• Strategy Web Universal (JSP): {web_root}/WEB-INF/lib directory.
• Strategy Web (.NET): Program Files\Common Files\Strategy directory.

Note:
 
More elaborate programs will require additional library files and are out of the scope of this document.
 
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/).
 
To access the Strategy Developer Zone, you must have access to the Strategy Knowledge Base, you must have purchased the Strategy SDK, and you must be current on your Strategy maintenance agreement.
