  • [ANSWERED] Valence 5 - Environment Name

    Valence 3.2 displayed the Environment name in the top header. That was convenient to have that particularly when a user sent a problem screenshot, you always knew what environment they were running.

    It would be nice if Valence 5 had that also.

    Wanted to mention that this functionality can be accomplished with the "Hook.js" (under resources/desktop) by adding code for the "componentrender" event. Something as follows should work:

    Code:
    componentrender : function(cmp){
        if (cmp.xtype === 'controlbar'){
            me.onRenderControlbar(cmp);
        }
    }
    Then, at the end of the constructor, add the onRenderControlbar method

    Code:
    onRenderControlbar : function(cmp){
        cmp.insert(1,{               // position 1 will insert it just before the logo
            xtype : 'tbtext',
            text  : Valence.util.Helper.getEnvironment()
        });
    }

      Thanks Sean. That looks really really nice.

      Where would the code go to update the description when the environment changes?

        Oh yeah, didn't think about that part. OK, let's modify the original code a bit and add an "itemId" to our "tbtext" component:

        Code:
        onRenderControlbar : function(cmp){
            cmp.insert(1,{                                // position 1 will insert it just before the logo
                xtype : 'tbtext',
                text   : Valence.util.Helper.getEnvironment(),
                itemId : 'environment_name'
            });
        }
        Next, back to the componentrender event...

        Code:
        componentrender : function (cmp) {
            if (cmp.xtype === 'controlbar'){
                me.onRenderControlbar(cmp);
                app.on({
                    scope     : me,
                    environmentset : me.onEnvironmentSet
                });
            }
        },
        Last, add new "onEnvironmentSet" method after anywhere after the constructor in the Hook:

        Code:
        onEnvironmentSet : function(){
            var controlBar = Ext.ComponentQuery.query('controlbar')[0],
                  envName  = Valence.util.Helper.getEnvironment();
            if (controlBar){
                controlBar.down('#environment_name').setText(envName);
            }
        }

          I modified the original answer above to be corrected. Should be good to go now.

            That didn't solve the problem with the error on Valence.util.Helper.getEnvironment()

            Thanks for trying.

              Valence.util.Helper.getEnvironment() was failing to resolve during the environmentset on login.

              I changed it to a setTimeout, and that delay was enough to make the environment name readable.

              Code:
                environmentset       : function (user, env) {
                        setTimeout( "onEnvironmentSet(Valence.util.Helper.getEnvironment())", 100);                    
                },
              Your onEnvironmentSet Function needs to move outside the Ext.define:

              Code:
                          
              onEnvironmentSet = function(envName){
                  var controlBar = Ext.ComponentQuery.query('controlbar')[0];
                  if (controlBar){
                      controlBar.down('#environment_name').setText(envName);
                  }
              };

                It would be nice if hook.js had a afterenvironmentset event.

                The timing of an after event would probably mitigate for this.

                  Here is an update that reflects the latest version of Valence and the hook. It doesn't have the original timing issue when the environment changes.

                  Code:
                  /**
                   * @class Valence.Hook
                   * @singleton
                  
                   This class is used to 'Hook' into the Valence Portal to override and customize the look, functionality
                   and features of the Desktop Portal. A special javascript file called `Hook.js`, located
                   in the IFS under each instance directory resources/desktop, is
                   referenced by the Valence Portal when starting the Portal.  By using the listeners and
                   configuration settings in Hook.js you can customize your portal and still have the flexibility to apply
                   updates and releases of Valence.
                   */
                  Ext.define('Valence.Hook', {
                      singleton              : true,

                      Thanks Johnny for provided a 5.2 update for this issue.

                      As a synopsis of the changes required to valence-5.2/resources/desktop/hook.js:

                      1. Modify componentrender event
                      2. Modify environmentset event
                      3. Add onRenderControlbar function

                      To move the envirornment name after the favorite apps asterisk icon:

                      Code:
                      cmp.insert(1,
                      Change to

                      Code:
                      cmp.insert(3,
