Modifying the Web Pages

Modifying the Web Pages

The Cisco Service Selection Dashboard (Cisco SSD) web page templates are designed to provide maximum flexibility for web developers. Rather than explain how to create web pages, the Cisco Service Selection Dashboard web page templates simply tell you what cannot be modified. This enables web developers to create web pages that allow for artistic flexibility, meet corporate identity standards, and provide what the Cisco SSD needs to function properly.

When a web page template indicates that a section cannot be modified, this means that it cannot be modified in any way (including translation). If a web project requires localization, translate all of the HTML text that can be modified and translate the contents of the LocalizationDB.conf file. The LocalizationDB.conf file contains all the messages, error messages, and sentence fragments used by the Cisco SSD. For more information, see the "Localization File" section.


Note The Cisco SSD web page names cannot be changed. To change the URL used to access the Cisco SSD, see the "Alias File" section.

Frame Sets

The Cisco SSD framesets define how information is presented on a web page. This section describes the Cisco SSD framesets and what information can appear in each frame.

User Frameset

User.html is a top-level frameset that is presented to users when they enter the URL for user access. This frameset contains two frames: the banner frame and the dashboard frame.


Figure A-1: User Frameset

The banner frame provides the content for the banner. If references to the banner frame are removed from user.html and guest.html, the banner frame file can be removed.

The dashboard frame presents the user with an account logon screen (accountLogon.html). After successfully logging on, the dashboard frame presents the user with content from the dashboard frameset.

Guest Frameset

Guest.html is a top-level frameset that is identical to user.html, except that it does not present the user with an account logon screen. The Cisco SSD uses the guest username and password specified by the configuration utility. For more information, see the "Server Section" section.

Dashboard Frameset

Dashboard.html is the heart of the Cisco SSD. This frameset contains three frames: the toolbar frame, the serviceList frame, and the serviceView frame.


Figure A-3: Dashboard Frameset

The toolbar frame allows users to log off from all open services, view the status of the session, and toggle the message viewer on and off.

The serviceList frame shows available services and uses GIF files to indicate whether they are logged on to the service, logged off from the service, or whether the service was shut down without user intervention.

The serviceView frame shows the serviceLogon screen, the serviceLogoff screen, and the actual services.

DashboardWithGroups Frameset

DashboardWithGroups.html is the identical to dashboard.html, except that it has an extra frame (serviceGroup.html) that allows you to browse both services and service groups.


Figure A-4: DashboardWithGroups Frameset

The toolbar frame allows users to log off from all open services, view the status of the session, and view the system log.

The serviceList frame shows services that the user is or was logged into and uses GIF files to indicate whether the user is logged on to the service, logged off from the service, or whether the service was shut down without user intervention.

The serviceGroup frame shows available service and service groups. The serviceGroup frame uses GIF files for navigation and to identify services and service groups.

The serviceView frame shows the serviceLogon screen, the serviceLogoff screen, and the actual services.
